And Rutgers was down a key player, Geo Baker!

OVVVVERRRRAAATTTTED!!!!!

Turdue Toiletmakers is probably the shortest time at #1 with a loss!!!!

It couldn’t happen to a better team!

The lost sleep I had last night, I’ll more than make up for it tonight!!!

Not calling you out by any means, but did anyone seriously think that could happen? They're very good, probably the best team in the Big Ten, but the hype they've been getting this season, and especially this week, has been unbelievable. 

Yeah my one Boiler buddy was explaining to me last week how Purdue would go undefeated, explaining in the obnoxious way every single one does like it’s some math equation the rest of us can’t understand. I tried to tell him the B1G is tough, and that’s not a reasonable expectation. He wouldn’t hear it. 
 

I tried not to text him after the game. Tried.

Road games in the B1G are tough. Apparently even Rutgers.

Hopefully you tried and failed

In the history of college basketball there had been only four occasions when a team became #1 and lost their very next game to an unranked team.

Tonight the toiletmakers became the fifth team to do it.

I guess that makes them kinda special.

And I'm sure they're the first to accomplish that in their maiden week as #1.

You’re a better man than I. There would be no try, just do.

Colgate up 3 at Pitt with 51 sec to go.

Kind of hard to overstate the value of having a guy who can just go get a shot. Hood-Schifino’s one of those guys. But it’s gonna be a struggle in end game or late clock situations all year.

I’m surprised Schiano hasn’t tried poaching him yet. That is one thick son of a buck*.

Yes! They are the only one of those five teams that accomplished this when they were #1 for the only time in school history.

so so special

LOTS of travel back and forth into tough environments for Miss Mary Mack.

[Uspshoosier 48,074]

Pitt up 2 with 14 sec to go.   If I’m Colgate I go for the win here 

[LIHoosier 27,055]

Iowa down 12 to Iowa St at half. 

What's more dangerous, an F5 or Francon 5?

Something about this post makes it my very very favorite of all as a random and complete summary of tonight‘s game.

”Butgers” + power steering and brake failure + “Hahahahah” is the special sauce

An F5 giving by Fran while he is at a Francon 5

8 minutes later Merrimack is only down 26. If IU and Merrimack play their bad half at the same time, it could be single digits for both teams.

Conor McCaffery is…

lumpy

[Uspshoosier 48,074]

St. John’s trying to give this game away.  They are up 2 with under min to go 

had an offensive foul followed by fouling a 3 point shooter who hit all 3 to cut it to 2
