UConn/Binghamton start the day off at noon on FS2 

Reminder that the best games of the day will be on Espnnews (Nova/Tennessee and Purdue/North Carolina) 

[Uspshoosier 54,684]

Nothing worse then anticipated a big game and the game lays an egg.  Nova up 21 and Tennessee has only scored 11 pts with 2:30 to go in first half 

[Uspshoosier 54,684]

Richmond up 1 at half at Drake 

baylor up 6 at home over Stanford at half.  Stanford playing better then the last time I watched them

Damn, Jay Wright. Their defensive discipline was so good. Didn’t matter who was playing who. Every Tennessee kid was played the exact same way by whichever Nova defender was flipped onto them. Great game plan, perfectly executed.

He has those kids playing hard. The effort from Novas players is awesome.  That’s all you can ask for as a fan of a team.   I love watching Nova play

Absolutely, I thought that exact thing when watching them today. Regardless of scheme & style, I want IU to play with that kind of attitude and character. Nova plays hard and smart. Both of which have been lacking regularly over the last several years with IU. I doubt they have top 5 talent, but they  play top 5 basketball= tough D, hit FT's, don't force shots, make the extra pass, hustle all the time. I want that so badly for IU I can taste it!

Drake holds off Richmond.   Got away with not fouling up 3 as Richmond missed the shot at the buzzer to tie it

Detroit has kept it close it seems. Davis with 25.

I wish the NCAA would have adopted the free throw rule. Fouls reset every 10 minutes. Still 7 fouls for bonus. That was a great rule for the NIT. Hardly any bonus FTs shot. 

[Uspshoosier 54,684]

Purdue up with 12 min to go.  Heck of a basketball game.  Williams and Hunter coming off the bench is crazy.   No matter where they finish in the B1G they will have a shot at a final 4 this year.  Probably their best shot at doing so

Best Purdue team I’ve seen. They are really, really good. Lots of depth and options.

Jaden Ivy just put on a show the last couple possessions. Purdue went from down 1 to up 8 real quick

Yep their  season will all come down to how they do in the tournament. Fair or unfair no matter how many wins they get during the regular season their season will start in March.   They got everything you need to make a run to the final 4 

[Uspshoosier 54,684]

North Carolina not going away. 7-0 run for Carolina.   What a game.  This is fun

I, for one, hope for 0 tournament wins for them. I know, I know…I’m crazy.

Just tuned into the St John's game at home. There are more cheerleaders than there are fans...

Last I checked they were 13-34 from 3. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 9,324]

Colgate has had some really good offense against Cuse. Tom Crean needs to watch and learn lol.
