Iowa holy cow and what a good win for OSU. 

Iowa is fun on offense. Less so, on defense. But a fun watch.  You all know how much I like Sandfort from last year.   OSU is a confusing team.  They’ve got great pieces. Their play has been wildly inconsistent.

LOL.

But anyway, let's talk about Fletcher Loyer.

Against non-P5 teams this season:  62% from the field, 69% from three

Against P5:  39% from the field, 36% from three.

That’s not terrible shooting against P5 teams unless you also weigh in that he’s a real defensive liability against those teams.

Oregon State up over Charleston with 5 min to go.  First game of 4 today in the diamond head classic which according to Rothstein is moving to thanksgiving week next year.

Grand Canyon- St Louis incredible finish! 
Lopes pull it off.

[johnsoniu]

Lopes down 1 with 5 seconds inbounding under St Loo basket. Go for a lob on the inbound, intended target gets fouled. He misses front end of one and one but gets the rebound on a tip out and hits a turnaround J on the baseline with 0.3 left. Great game, 2 really solid mid majors

Oakland up 4 on Loyola with 7 min to go.

Georgetown-Seton Hall on FS1 now

Utah St -Saint Marys getting ready to tip on ESPN+
 

Ed Cooley and Randy Bennett, so nice to watch well coached teams

[johnsoniu]

Refs let everything go in this Gtown/Seton Hall game. Now with 5 minutes left a cross eyed look will get called. Hate that crap

[johnsoniu]

Hoyas falling apart down the stretch. 11 pt lead at the under 4 down to 3 with a minute and a half left

And I will throw in my computer rankings, as I have done here the past few years.  Just to re-introduce, these are a 50-50 split of score-based and result-based ratings.  They tie pretty close to the old-version Sagarin ratings that combined predictive (score-based) and elo chess (result-based), which usually ended up being pretty close to tournament seedings.  Normally, the bubble for at-large teams is around 45-50 rank.  Rankings are through yesterday's games and records only include division 1 games.  Indiana comes in at #63 this week.

Game before break is always interesting.   

[Hoosier DaDa]

Fun game to watch between these two Tennessee teams

[LamarCheeks]

Seattle U. went halfway across the city -- and is taking Washington to the woodshed. 

Up by 22 early in 2nd half. 

Wouldn't be a good look for the B1G.

[Uspshoosier]

Hawaii gave up a 15-0 run and just hit a 3 at the end of the half to only be down 2.    Nebraska up 2 at half.
