Illinois beats UT Rio Grande Valley 94-85.....hit 6/6 from the line in the last minute and a half after leading 88-85.

Not the performance you want, regardless of the players out.  Arizona beat UT Rio Grande Valley by 54.

I’m in Texas. UT RGV is a small hole in the wall in the Valley, not even remotely a basketball school (the Valley is about soccer), Illinois, missing players or not, is just not very good.

Yeah they fell 14 spots on Bart torvik with that win.  That’s how bad that team they were playing is

I’m extremely envious of Gonzaga’s transition game as well as their movement without the ball

I know a lot are pulling for Duke but not me.   Actually fun to see Duke being on the court and getting hosed by some calls.   Personally I guess I don’t care who wins it. This is a high level basketball that is awesome despite who wins.    Someone will get the Zags down the road in the regular season in my opinion. 

I can’t figure out who i want to win. Don’t want the Zags to be unbeaten, can’t stand K….

Amile Jefferson is still at Duke for those keeping track at home. Now the Director of Player Development. Pretty sure he was on the Greg Paulus teams.

I feel like Holmgrens legs are gonna snap at any moment. They are always shaking.

So if Gonzaga loses, what are the chances the Toiletmakers are ranked No. 1 next week? 

Or would the Dookies jump all the way to the top? 

[HoosierHoopster 7,698]

Forget winning i’m just wondering who can even score

Duke would have a good case, but I think most of the voters would give it to Purdue. Duke has been ranked #1 too often.

Thank you Duke/Zags for the heavyweight game.   College Basketball is awesome.  Best sport on the planet 

[HoosierHoopster 7,698]

Bye bye Zags unbeaten run 

[HoosierHoopster 7,698]

Are we shooting free throws for Duke?

It would be the first time ever Purdue would be ranked #1.

Eh just going to set them up for even greater disappointment come tourney time

Good to see Gonzaga go down early in the season. 

[Uspshoosier 51,372]

Usc up 12 on San Diego St with 7:15 to go 

San Francisco up 2 on UAB with 7:36 to go

Great game! I too was pulling for Duke. Sickening. I’ll root for the Zags in every game going forward unless they play us. Now we need a Duke and Purdue L. Great, great day of college basketball.

Banchero is legit. His cramping in 2nd half was rough and would have cost most teams the game. Duke rallied as he offered nothing in the 2nd half. Call me crazy, but I’ll take Jabari Smith #1, Banchero #1b. Chet at #3. Haven’t seen enough of Jalen Duran but I don’t think he cracks any of these 3 IMO.

I am extremely angry at past brasscannon for staying up so late.  That dude screwed me over today.  The 4 year has too much energy to be doing silly stuff like staying up after midnight 

That being said glad Duke got the win. The zags are favored 82% in the rest of their games.  And I don’t care if they win now
