Osu beat Bucknell by 2
Villanova lost to Penn the other day
Syracuse lost to Old Dominion today.

Remember that in college basketball, a win is a win. All teams - with the exception of a few mighty teams each year - are forced to grind out games against the lowliest of opponents

This! It's why, although it's disappointing, I don't get mad when iU loses to team they shouldn't.

UCLA loses a buy game to Belmont 74-72.  That seat in Westwood is getting warmer and warmer and warmer......

Belmont plays at Purdue on the 29th. Hoping Belmont either beats them or makes them sweat it out.

He was struggling pretty good going to the locker room. If he wasn’t hurt that kid deserves an Oscar. Just got here at halftime so no clue what I missed before. Have they been letting them go this physical all game? Scares me if so means a lot of free throws in our game.

He was back out near the end of the game had his knee wrapped in ice

[Alford Bailey 12,421]

Mike Brey is a good coach. Had great control over that game today.

PSU 62
NCstste 68

7 to go. Would like PSU to hold home court here but it’s looking less likely each passing minute.

And down they go

I would love to know how these Ken Prom rankings work. Purdue at 18th after 6-5. Their 6 wins must be against top 10 teams. IU moves up to 24 after Butler win

Go here and you will see the lowdown on how Kenpom ratings work.

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

KenPom ratings are still weighted in Preseason info until Mid-January... that is why Purdue is still up there as high as they are.

 

Keep losing and they will fall!!!! :)

Dort bully balled his way to the game winner at Georgia. Arizona st is probably the best team in PAC 12 and that’s not saying much. Dort was horrible all game. Terrible inbounds at the end of the game for Georgia. Georgia’s leading scorer fouled out with 5 min to go

Some are saying Dort could be a lottery pick. I’ve not been following too closely. PAC 12 is down this year.

Arizona will be good next season i think. Nico Mannion is silly good. Reminds me of Dante Divinchenzo.

Houston holds on.
Sycamores playing at TCU. They got a couple mid season transfers playing in their first game today. Williams from Iowa and copper neese from butler. Neese will be a good one in the valley for years to come. The Trees also wearing some sweet throwback uniforms from Birds playing days

Curtis Jones looks MUCH bigger now...just scored his first basket on a breakaway dunk.

Dude was a talent. From what I had heard he couldn’t handle coaching 

[Stromboli 6,076]

They put him in for the last defensive possession before half, just to save the starter (Weathers?) a possible foul.  Curtis left his man wide open for an easy 3 with 5 seconds left.  Then he was supposed to receive the inbound pass, got it taken away.  Not a good 18 seconds...

Come on man, that’s not right. Jones was playing the top of the zone. The man playing the back line lost spatial awareness and allowed a diagonal pass from the right wing to the left corner for an open 3. Absolutely not on Jones, who was shading Roby, I believe, at the top of the key. and reacted down to the shooter after the catch. And the inbounds steal was 100% on the passer, who brain locked and threw it directly to Roby. It would have hit him in the shoulder if he hadn’t caught it. Neither of those was on Jones, who I think has played decently and been pretty engaged and aware so far,
