6 Q4 actually isn’t that bad.  I would say that’s about average for most teams in the top 10 in NET.   Only a few teams like Kansas and Nova had less most others had 6 or more 

I see them and think 40+ point wins and please no injury. I'm not sure how much benefit there is to those games.

Coaches want to keep their jobs and  schedule accordingly.   Unless a coach knows they are not getting fired they will continue to schedule that way.   Coaches like Wright and Self and Izzo know they can lose games and be safe.   I don’t like those games either but they are not going anyway.   If the zags can get a 1 seed playing 13 Q4 games or Texas Tech can get a good seed with playing 9 Q4 games coaches will still take the path of less resistance and the one the insures job security

Another issue is how wide that the NCAA has the quad 4.  160 teams would be quad one through three games at home;  203 teams would be quad four.  There is no incentive to play a home game to a team that you expect to, say be a net of 170-200 when hosting a 330 is the same quad.

Remember when Dexter Dennis seemed to be on the verge of committing to IU but ended up committing to Texas A&M?

Not working out real well for him.  Played in 7 games there, averaging 7 points and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes and shooting 40/26/75.  Only games in double figures were the opening two games against Lafayette-Monroe and Alcorn State.

Fellas, we should've hired Musselman when we had the chance. Just look at this record...

SIAP, but Xavier got a good home win yesterday against West Virginia 84-74. They trailed at half but lit it up in the second half and pulled away. 
 

UNC with a tough road game at Va Tech this afternoon. Go heels

Michigan Kentucky playing in London DURING an English World Cup knockout game is hilarious. There will be like 19 people there.

They might as well wait 3 hours to play and if England win, they won't burn the arena down.

And atleast half of those probably don't know Kentucky is a state, let alone point to it on a map.

At least half of Kentucky residents don’t know it’s a state.

Rick Bozich:  Miami 60, Louisville 29 -- with 11:21 left in first half. Noticeable groups of fans exiting KFC Yum! Center.

NOTE:  His tweet reads 'first' half but he means 'second'.  With 10 min. left in the game, L'ville has only scored 8 pts. in the 2nd half.

According to some foreign friends, this is what they used to find Kentucky on a map.

Not only is that an amazing record, but he did it in only 7+ seasons!

I would think this is a mistake but it was on the TV so it has to be true. Doubly so since that picture from the TV was posted on the internet.  Everyone knows TV and the internet don't lie, right?

Don’t fire Hoiberg just yet!!

Nebraska up 25-23 at half @ Creighton

How the mighty have fallen.  UNC loses its 4th in a row to Va Tech 80-72.  Dadgum Roy your successor ain't doin' so well.
