From yesterday.

Big Ten looking mediocre. Some bad losses. Missing chances to boost conference clout.

Where the heck did Keegan Murray/Iowa come from? He is absolutely dominating. Granted, they’ve played nobodies but goodness gracious.

Looking forward to Durham vs Franklin. Should be an even matchup.

Illinois that bad? Terrible shooting performance. I think they are better than that.

Dang, after being spoiled with early tip offs the past few days, gotta wait til 7PM for any action tonight.

 

Edit: nevermind. I guess my CBS Sports app was messing up. We got hoops all day boys!

Illinois plays like a team that hates each other right now.   There has to be some internal stuff going on.   Kofi has no idea how to pass out of a double team right now

Tough break for Notre Dame last night.  Basically lost twice.   Not only did they lose the game but they assured themselves to have to play Chaminade. 

[Brass Cannon]

My concern for the conference losing is we are basically guaranteeing we have to do well in the conference in order to get in the tourney.  Doubt an 8-12 record would get us in the tourney unless we sweep the non conference.  Need the best wins possible.  
 

That being said Bart torvik has us favored the rest of the non con schedule and tracking for 12 wins in the conference.  
 

I always criticized Archie and Crean for time it took them to have a tourney quality team. If Woodson gets us 22-23 wins and a tourney berth in year 1 I will give him lots of props

You right. My preferred sports app was bugging out, once I checked on another app I got the full slate. That Texas A&M and Butler game will be the first game I bet on today. Butler's a slight underdog, I'll take them after watching A&M totally fall apart last night.

Andre the Great apparently will bring that out in a group.

Lost a couple of really good assistant coaches too. Underwood is a pretty harsh personality without a guy like Chin to moderate.

Houston is a team I would have going either the elite 8 or the final four.

Maybe there  was a reason Adam Miller left.  Always shocked me he left knowing Ayo was moving on.

I know it's already been posted but I want to revisit it.

Cincinnati: 71

Illinois: 51

This is what I am thankful for everyone. 

Had an Illinois fan tell me this morning "hey, Cincinnati is 5-0 so that's not a bad loss!"

Buddy you got pounded by a now 5-0 team with wins against:

-The Mighty Evansville Aces

-The Tom Crean Bulldogs

-The Alabama A&M.....Aggies Probably? Idk

-The Presbyterian Presbyterians

 

Illinois fans are friggin' clueless.

I didn't believe it at first, but apparently so! Who knew?

“Due to conduct detrimental to the team, AJ Bramah has been dismissed from the Nevada Men's Basketball program.”  A transfer from Robert Morris, Bramah played four games for Nevada before this dismissal.

Somebody commented that Nevada was off to a rough start.  Maybe Bramah was part of that rough start.

[Hovadipo]

Not a big fan of DVR'ing live sports to go back and watch, but tonight during the IU game, Mark Titus and Tate Frazier are on the call for St. John's vs. St. Francis Brooklyn on FS2. Think I'll set that one to record and enjoy it after we smack Deion U around.

A&M will win. This Butler team is really bad, undisciplined, and poorly coached. LaVall is their version of Mike Davis. A nice guy that isn't a good head coach. I wouldn't put a dime on this team. 

[lillurk]

At some point I wonder if Underwood benches Curbelo and moves Frazier to the point. You lose some dribble-drive dynamism but probably gain shooting whoever you play over Curbelo, and waster fewer possessions.

I recall thinking Curbelo was flashier than conducive to winning when Archie was after him. He may still shake the TO habit, may become a passable 3-pt shooter, but probably got the keys at least a year too early

Shoot. Actually haven't watched Butler yet, so I might have gone into this a bit skewed after watching that A&M team alternate between turnover/ horrible shot selection against a well-below average Wisconsin team. A&M did start out shooting real hot, before giving up a 16 point lead. If they can start hot from 3 in back to back games, I'll be screwed.

Butler is not good. It's painful for me to watch because I watch most of their games as well and always enjoyed how they played but the Butler way is currently on life support and in danger or coding unless a change is made at head coach.
