The OSU/Holtmann late game execution failures are weird if you remember 2019, when his team was more experienced but less talented than IU, and won both games by a combined 7 points. Flip one outcome and IU probably made the tournament instead of OSU.

In the game at IU he drew up a SLOB for a game-winning backdoor cut and dunk that burned Archie’s unwillingness to adapt his defense to the circumstances.

I hope that they dump Holtmann so that we can try to poach Thornton and Okpara.

Or... They keep Holtmann... Because Ohio State has the money and resources to become great again. Do you really want that?

That was the play where Justin Smith flat out got burnt.

Butler up by 1 at Creighton with 6.4 seconds to play. 

'Dogs shooting two FTs.

Still weird seeing Greg Oden sporting the Bulldog.

How was that in any way a jump ball?

[LamarCheeks]

Butler wins 99-98.

Mountain West hoops ... Nevada taking San Jose State to the woodshed in a matchup of former B1G coaches. 

49-24 at halftime. 

Wolf Pack is coached by our very own beloved Steve Alford, while SJSU is coached by Tim Miles.

Nevada now up by 42 about 5 minutes into the second half.

Good lord -- what an ugly basketball game.

I didn't see this yesterday. Sad news from the land of our top rivals. 

My brothers and dad went to PU, so we were always watching their games (in addition to IU's) when I was a kid. 

Dude was essentially a bodybuilder-turned-basketball player. Not terribly skilled, but worked like crazy  -- and he sure had one great season. 

 (BTW -- this is just a cut and paste of the tweet. Since Twitter changed, I haven't figured out how to embed tweets -- though I noticed many here still can).

Loaded day of hoops today.    3 top 10 matchups and some other big games.  End the night with Zags/St Mary’s.     Going to be a fun day of hoops

Kinda surprised that Duke-UNC is at 6:30 p.m. (EST). 

Seems like that almost always slides into a prime-time slot.

I’m seeing Kansas as +1.5 dog today. I wonder when the last time Kansas was an underdog at Phog? Especially to a conference team.

Yeah, don’t totally disagree but Wesson ghosts a screen and Smith gets caught flat-footed, trying to hedge it like the packline does. The other Wesson is lifted so there’s no defender in the lane, weak side action means the help from the opposite corner is late.

Smith should’ve played it differently…but really CAM should’ve changed to switch everything for the possession, or switch 1-4.

Are the Zags a tourney team? Resume looks bubbly.

If you want to know how bad the college basketball landscape is looking this year, Butler building a tourney resume.

Not as of today.     Need to road win at Kentucky and needs to beat St Mary’s at least once to get one in my opinion.   I got them 6 or 7 away from being last 4 in
