Since when Purdue develop such cachet with voters? They lost to a team missing two of its top six players and has another starter who has not played well after missing three weeks with a knee injury. LOL!

A lot of it is group-think mentality. People love Painter and they love the way Purdue plays.

Episode 15. Go take a listen. I feel like I'm getting a lot more comfortable. Talk a tiny bit about the Super Bowl, pro bowl, NBA and plenty about college basketball. 

 

Let me know what you think! Any feedback helps as I keep trying to improve!

I think by strictly wins/losses, they should be #1.  Only they and Houston have two losses and Purdue's schedule has been tougher.

Can not believe that the Pepperdine kid took a two point shot with 1.3 seconds left when they were down three, luckily got fouled, missed their free throw and didn't get the rebound....yet won.

So was there a foul called on the Pepperdine player and a tech on the Portland player? Why wasn't there a tech on the Pepperdine player trying to get a piggy back ride well after the whistle?

I don't know why there was a tech on the Portland player unless he swung, which didn't look like it to me.

Duke is playing at Miami just 48 hours after hosting UNC. Was this a rescheduled game? Seems weird to have two games that close together. 

 

Miami up by 22 early in the second half.

This game should serve as a reminder to players that you can still be T'd up even after the clock hits zero.

Portland snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Crazy ending.

Seems like it was scheduled. Most of the western conferences even the Pac 12 have Thursday/Saturday conference games every week so its not that out of the ordinary.

Big Mondays stink when there is a blowout.   Not a lot of options other then Duke getting blown out 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,866]

Nothing better than watching Kansas getting every call. Dude for Texas gets all ball on a huge block so of course, it's a foul.

I really like how the PAC 12 does their travel partners/schedules.

Never give up too early. 
2-22 Wisconsin Green Bay knocks off 16-7 Wisconsin-Milwaukee 80-79 in OT. GB hits the go ahead 2 with 0.7 left after hitting two improbable 3s in last 30 seconds of regulation to force the OT, the tying one with 1 second left.

In other tales of teams from the dark side, Northern Arizona has lost 7 of their last 8, all by 5 pts or less….ouch
