Game of the night should be Creighton/Texas 

 

Curious how this one goes. Texas really hasn't played anyone and Creighton looked good in their loss last week.

Did we recruit Karaban?

Hawaii almost erased a 7 point deficit in 13 seconds, but had a game-winner wiped out because a ref blew his whistle for no reason:

 

That’s crazy. If I were a rainbow warrior I’d be apoplectic.

Yes.  He had an IU offer.

Kid from UConn?   Yeah pretty heavily.   Would have had a good shot if Archie would have still been coach.   New staff didn’t really pursue

Really like his game

Edit: didn't realize he was a freshman

[Uspshoosier]

UConn is top 5 good

Texas is going to win it but they let Creighton back in this game when Creighton couldn’t hit anything.   2-24 from 3 

[str8baller]

Creighton with some horrible shots down the stretch. Not impressive at all.

You called it being the game of the night 

[IU/Butler/Notre Dame]

Arizona behind early and we need them to win

4-26 but Texas is only 4-19 ….maybe they both have excellent perimeter defense ;)

Still be a Q1 opportunity for IU even if Arizona loses.

Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it though ….since Kansas and nc te trending down Im hoping we give Arizona one of less than five losses and we give Purdue 2 of less than 7

A win at Kansas 7-1 top 10  team that you say is trending down would be viewed as a bigger win than a win on a neutral court  against an undefeated Arizona team     
 
not many non conference teams go into Kansas and come out with a win.    It’s happened but it’s rare    Kentucky last year and Arizona St won a couple years ago.  

[Uspshoosier]

Murray st with an Aloha special.    Illinois St ties it up and Murray st comes down in a tie game and jacks up a 3 at the buzzer.   Headed to OT 

[Uspshoosier]

Always interesting to see how the top teams react to a true road game.    This is Arizonas first true road game.  They have cut utahs lead to 6 with 12:12 to play

I don’t disagree with road vs neutral but from what I’ve seen from the two teams Arizona had performed as well or better than expected and Kansas has underperformed …a couple of their wins were nail biters that shouldn’t have been I think they will Have more losses come years end than zona BUT I’ll be thrilled to be wrong about that if we leave Alan field house with a win

Kansas should have more losses than Arizona since the Big 12 has better teams in it compared to the PAC 12.   If IU beats Kansas on the road then it will be considered one of the best wins of any team in the college basketball season.
