Dawson Garcia is having a huge game for Minny against OSU. Unfortunately, they have nothing else. OSU up 11 with 8mins to go.

274 on KP, 328 on Torvik, #1 in your heart.

Edit: For some reason, I love that this replay is in 144p.

I wonder if anyone has the statistic out there about how many ranked teams have been upset through this point in the season? I feel like this year is bordering on an all-time level, especially with non-P5 upsets.

Nice tribute from Biancardi on Rick Majerus.

This was a crazy week to sort through. So... I went BOLD. Duke and Tennessee gonna have to win their ways back in. Duke just doesn't look any better than IU right now so.

[Hardwood83 4,762]

Of the teams I've watched, Arizona looks to be the clear #1. UConn, KU, etc are good, but all flawed. I agree about Duke too. 

I think you are a little strong on Kentucky and Purdue although both have had some strong wins. I HOPE you are overly optimistic about Illinois.

I definitely differ from the AP on a few teams. But it'll all work itself out eventually.

I haven't watched Illinois yet this year. Are they a true top 15 team? Pre-season the word was lack of a point guard - how have they overcame this, Shannon?

Basically just Shannon? True Top 15? I don't know. They look good. They have good pieces. Have one of the best players in the B1G. How will that fair compared to last season? I don't know. But everyone ahead of them kept losing a d they kept moving up.

Trilly mailbag with, among other things, some thoughts on ISU’s Josh Schertz. Comfortable that he’s right on one thing: unless something pretty damned miraculous happens Travis Ford is dead meat at St Louis. Makes north of 2 million, has terrific facilities and administration support and has turned it into nothing. Underachieved horrendously last year. Has 1 win, against Dartmouth, and nobody’s showing for home games. Got beat down this weekend by SIU. Will be a really good job for someone. The best resources in the A-10 outside of maybe Dayton.

I wonder if Ford will end up at St. John's?

Franimal is gonna lose his **** tonight.

Edey is tossing Iowa players all around like they’re pro wrestling stiffs

Its only December and we're already breaking it out

[Whoozhers 3,661]

Am I wrong or did PU take off their names off back of the jerseys? I could swear they had them on during the Friday game…

[Stuhoo 79,861]

ANNNNDDD

Right on cue! Fran has to be held back from going after the officials by his staff. And picks up his first technical.

[RaceToTheTop 25,133]

Francon Tech.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,146]

Franimal gets a tech less than 9 minutes into the game

[Stuhoo 79,861]

Purdumbasses are allll fired up. Their team is playing rugby not basketball.

They've got Dainja in a much better role to succeed this year as well.  Mostly coming off the bench and playing when the matchup is there.  Too often last year he was in regardless of matchup.  They've also gotten almost nothing out of Hawkins so far due to injury.

Need to cut them some slack.....they are trying to get out of the Big Ten basement today.

[RaceToTheTop 25,133]

Over/under on Francon's second technical ejection today?
