Crossroads Classic should have all four teams in the top 25. I would prefer a higher profile "classic" but that's pretty solid.

You are always asking to play in state,teams, this is always that. In state teams that are often ranked. While Evansville, etc are rarely ranked.

Yep Purdue has a great chance to get another moral victory by losing by just a few to a ranked team.

Duke is looking damn good

The offensive end looks great, but the defensive end is where they will win a championship. Not many weaknesses.

Is there a way to play instate teams while also playing in prime time events...? Give me an instate road game or two, a couple more at home, and a prime time event. If there's a way to play in the Crossroads Classic and something like the Champions Classic I'll take that too.

UConn vs OSU, both teams go on long scoring droughts. They are tied at 54, with 2 minutes to play.

Michigan at UCLA now, looks like the So. Cal fans came to this game, for once.

[LockdownD]

Just turned to the Michigan vs UCLA game and the first thing I see is TJ Leaf hit a sweet pull up jumper.  That guy is so smooth.

Can UM keep up with the high powered UCLA offense? UM is hitting threes so far.

[biteoftheapple]

I am guessing that UM will cool off somewhere during the game. But, I hope UM can win.

[AKHoosier]

Wow, UM lighting it up and has taken the lead 44-39.

Hoping they can pull it off today.

[HoosierAloha]

This shooting is absolutely ridiculous! Irving never really had control of that ball until he flicked his wrist. Nothing but net.

UM would probably be up double digits on most teams right now. I've never seen anything like this.

[biteoftheapple]

Both teams are lights out from 3. Together they are 18-25.

[HoosierAloha]

That was a Steph Curry deep three to end the half. Tied. If UM can hang around they might be able to hit a shot or two down the stretch to steal one.

Seems to me...

1. Duke
2. UCLA

(Kansas, UNC, Villanova Indiana, Zags, UK, Louisville, Baylor, WV, Virginia, Purdue, Wisconsin).

Then

(Arizona, Creighton, Xavier, Butler, Notre Dame and a slew of others).

Yep. Guess Alford just needed insane amounts of talent to field a capable team.

Ask Calipari. He says it usually works.

What he needed was slightly less selfish talent.

I don't think UCLA plays good enough defense yet. They're good and can get even better but they'll have to be better defensively to be up there with what Duke should be.
