Looks like Grand Canyon will hold on. If you’ve never watched them at home, do so. Good ball and their crowd is always fantastic

Indeed... their arena only seats 7,000, but it really gets rocking... great venue... and the Lopes are playing well - a great environment...

Lopes hang on, 79-76 and move to 24-2

For sure one of the most underrated home court advantages.  Place is always electric.  Definitely an arena I plan to visit in person

GCU’s Arena is underrated and awesome, would love to see it in person

Auburn clearly rattled tonight by all the "Pearl to IU" smoke. Feels like it's just a matter of time now.

Live by the 3, die by the 3.

I was a bit shocked indiana state dropped this game today. Thought they would bounce back from the home loss. I was mistaken lol

Kent not playing changes things for them.   Still had a chance to win the game at the end without a major piece to their team.   They have shot the ball so well it was going to catch up with them at some point.   A lot or pressure playing ranked for the first time since 1979 for a program and players that are not use to the spotlight.  Arch madness or bust for them now

Unlv up 7 on Nevada with 7 min to go in the first half.

Isu loses at Southern Illinois.   Have to win arch madness. 

That hurt. They also played without Kent as he didn't pass concussion protocol. That didn't help them.

 

Edit to add I saw your post about Kent after I replied!

FAU needs a win to keep pace with South Florida in the American.   If FAU wins and Charlotte wins as well there will be a 3 way tie for first with 5 games to play.   FAUs last 5 include Memphis twice and at North Texas.  That’s a tough ending to the conference regular season for them

Play SMU in there as well.  There might exist a path where they don't make the tournament.

Jim Jackson took that in stride.

My God, South Florida is just clown stomping Florida Atlantic right now.....46-29 late in the first half.

South Florida up 24 on FAU early in second half. 

Scratch Dusty off the list!

4-16 from 3 so far. And not good from 2. 
 

I like their spacing. And their attack space concept is fine. But they get very little movement off the ball, so they tend to get a bunch of jump shots in space if the other team is shutting off driving lanes. If you’re not hitting those, then there doesn’t seem to be much else. Going to need more in his playbook than that to be successful long term in the B1G. 
 

This is also 2 games in a row they haven’t defended the 3 well.

No defense and getting smoked on National TV proves Dusty is ready for IU now.

At the rate we're eliminating candidates, we may have to beg Crean to come back and resuscitate the program.
