U Texas 84 vs Wisconsin 85 with 20s in 2nd half remaining.  

UW wins.

That’s UT Rio Grande, little satellite campus in the Rio Grande Valley and Wiscy barely won by 3. Top 10? No.

Fun game. Wisconsin’s free throw shooting is very impressive. Over 90% on the season as a team. With the home whistle they’ll be a tough out at home all year.

Aztecs down a notch from their last few teams, still solid . Hanging with the Zags so far. But Zags are a pretty impressive well balanced squad. And dang, Ike has to be like 30 by now doesn’t he?

UT Rio Grande’s Coach Khalil Fennell’s story is incredible. He’ll be one to keep an eye on. 
 

Played Creighton very tough as well.

That’s why it’s sort of funny that fans get so bent out of shape by an OOC game.

Wiscy beats Arizona by 15 but then barely slips by Texas-Rio Grand Valley. I mean WTF.

A couple of OOC games that really led people down the wrong path was when IU beat both UNC and Kansas in the 2016-2017 season and KU ended up in the Elite 8, UNC won the Natty but  IU didn’t even make the tourney. Just crazy.

I can’t remember a long time assistant taking over the reigns from a great coach and completely abandoning the style of play like Gard has and still be successful. He’s not as successful as Bo but he’s got his own thing going on which seems to be working.

Still wish we could have ended up with Ryan Conwell for Xavier. He's 16-33 from 3 in his four games this year.

I flipped over to the UConn game and almost immediately moved on. McNeely was dunking and celebrating and it annoyed me much more than I expected it to.

[HinnyHoosier 4,852]

Meanwhile in Ohioland, OSU and Evansville are a combined 16-65 shooting.

Under the category of “more threes is not necessarily a good idea,” Mich St is 0-9 from three with 7:53 to play until half. They’re down 21-9 to Samford.

[Hovadipo 55,438]

So much for my Canisius +70.5 ticket. :(

Berg is as oafish as it gets. He’s going to hurt someone, and its just as likely to be himself or a teammate as it is an opponent.

Marquette 31, Purdue 23 late in the first half.

Purdue is very good at switching on picks.  But they are doing a very poor job when they are taken off the dribble.

[str8baller 5,170]

Purdue having trouble stay in front of Marquette, and Marquette is doing a good job of bothering smith often with a trap or hard hedge out on the ball screens up top. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,278]

Marquette 35, Purdue 28 at half.  Purdue really can't feel bad about being down 7 because they were uncharactistically sloppy.

[fwgreenway 496]

Marquette is killing PU with dribble drive and kick to the perimeter for open 3's. PU collapsing to much in the paint on D. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,278]

Marquette simply looking like the better team but they aren't putting any distance between them and Purdue.  Five points game now.  When Purdue does score, they are getting layups.

[RaceToTheTop 25,278]

Purdue really committing a lot of turnovers.

[LamarCheeks 18,477]

Marquette doing a nice job of getting to the bucket ... but then they stop and start chucking up 3s.
