Jesus Christ, It looked Juwan Howard called the same damn play he called against IU.

Trying to make junior the hero?

Dickinson buzzer three.  OT

Oh my Michigan

[Hovadipo]

THIS. IS. February….? Holy crap next month is going to be bonkers. 

[Demo]

Gard deserved that. Not fouling at half court when they were bringing it up was inexcusable. Otherwise smart coaches are complete idiots on this. Beyond me.

No, Jett is out today with an injury.  But he once again used Dickinson on a pick and roll with no chance to get it back.

Doesn’t surprise me, dude should be voted most likely to be a serial killer. He looks like half the unsubs on Criminal Minds, only much bigger.

Working the word unsubs into the college basketball thread is a work of art.   Well done

That’s the exact kind of Wisconsin loss the Hoosiers needed to see so they’re extra hungry at home on Thursday ;-)

Illinois, after crapping the bed at Ohio State, might just show up to Mackey wanting to rid themselves of that sour taste in their mouths. 
 

So far, so good. Hoosiers must hold serve.

Bradley is rolling at home.   Up 14 with 9:40 to go.    Regular season title on the line

This UCLA team doesn't look very special to me.  Must be having an off game?

Still a mystery team for me.   Best win of the year is @Maryland.   Maryland is a projected 7-9 seed team.   Other tournament quality teams they played Baylor, Illinois, Arizona and @USC (a bubble team) they lost.    Only other wins against tournament quality teams is Kentucky (neutral) and home USC.   I think they are a good team but the resume really doesn’t show they should be top 4.   They play Arizona st and Arizona before the conference tourney.   PAC 12 stinks so not many opportunities for big wins

Well, I just put them on upset alert.  Down 1 to the Buffs.

Indiana, Northwestern, Maryland and Michigan now 11-7 in conference play. 

What does Michigan have to do? I'm using beat us and win their other game to get in.

Go back in time and not lose to Central Michigan at home.  Lol.    Split these 2 road games and make a little run in the tourney but no guarantees.     3-10 in Q1 games.  Should be interesting to see how they do this next week.  Hunters shot basically kept them alive
