I normally like to throw a bone to a small school every now and then. Oral Roberts is on a 12 game win streak. 16-0 in conference and have one of the best guards in the nation in Max Abmas. 

I was too critical of LCS's top 25 early, but his top 25 list is consistent in how he ranks teams.  He definitely rewards team momentum and, as he said, he does tend to reward a small conference team with the last spot or two.  In that vein, Oral Roberts makes sense for his pick in the top 25 this week.  They are 16-0 in conference, 25-4 overall and those four losses were to Houston, St. Mary's, Utah State, and New Mexico -- all on the road.  They don't have any big wins, but there is something to be said for accumulating wins.

Minnesota is a 15 point underdog at Illinois.  Don't see them winning, but that's a huge spread for a Big Ten game.

Louisville up 2, only a short 39 minutes left

2 blowout games in the 7 slot stinks

9 slot of Kansas at TCU should be good.  TCU on a slide and could use some wins for seeding purposes.

TCU also got Miles back from injury, should be a better game if he wasn’t playing

TCU will be the team that shows you how much committee factors injuries.   With him the are like 15-3 and average 20 more points a game.   They project more like a 4 seed with him but have a resume 6-7 seed

Pretty sure when Miles is out, they are like 3-7

Kansas big with a solid 3 or 4 hacks on that last play with zero calls. TCU continuing to attack though

Illinois about to beat Minnesota.

Neither team has gotten a single point off the bench.

I wonder how often that has happened?

Looks like Sincere Harris snuck in a free throw. That is still a strange looking box score. 

[TheWatShot 14,275]

Foul call on Jalen Wilson came about 2 seconds after it happened, when Kansas had the ball and was about to head the other way. One of the announcers on this game calls it "good officiating" for making the call, then justifies it by saying the TCU player actually got fouled before the shot. Ok, so if it was "good officiating," why didn't he call either foul when they actually happened?
