He isn't wrong, we are right there. No truly dominant team exists this season. 

Need Xavier Johnson back though. Bates isn't consistent enough if JHS has an off night.

A random Fox Sports post appeared in my Facebook news feed from yesterday, noting that #1 had lost again (Alabama losing to Tennessee). 

 

The most popular comment: "Ok put Purdue back at #1."

 

lol

Who should be #1? Purdue's lost 3 of their last 4. 

Houston again?

It was posted yesterday, before their loss last night. It's just funny, because the vast majority of college basketball fans don't know Purdue like we do.

Antoine Davis is 185 points from Maravich. 

5 games left including tonight and the conference tourney. 

He would have to average 37 points over 5 to tie. 

IF Detroit somehow won a game in their conference tourney and played a 6th game... He only needs to average 31ppg...

He is at 30 as of this post with a little over 3 minutes left.

Having anything scheduled after a trucks race is bad news. That series is a disaster. Add in spotty weather and you better hope you have FS2 in the TV package.

Abilene Christian vs Grand Canyon has really good flow and pace. I thought that would be impossible with Larry Scirotto officiating. Which Big 1.o game will he be officiating in a few hours?

If I’m the CBI tournament and he winds up a few points short, I’m looking the other way at their record and inviting them.

Without a freaking doubt. They just need to somehow won a game or two in their conference tourney and I think he gets it.

Rutgers got a good road win at Wisky.   Essegian missed a game winner.  Had a good drive and look at it

Now I’m gonna relax and watch Iowa St Kansas St

Complete side statement:  Northwestern ended up benefiting from the Big Ten rule about not having at least six scholarship players available due to covid and had two games postponed.

To my knowledge, Northwestern only had nine or ten players on scholarship.  IMO, that was their choice and the covid rule should be about the # of players NOT available, not the number of players available.  Three or four spots were CHOSEN not to be filled by Northwestern.

Has zero to do with IU's position in the Big Ten, but there is certainly a possibility that Northwestern will win or share the conference title with that benefit.
