I sure hope this means RIP to RPI

I like the way Louisville is looking at this you don't do anything with it you don't make the situation bigger than what it already is. You don't give ESPN another piece to write just for clicks.

Is it travel Saturday or what? Refs have already called a couple hundred travels in the few games I'm watching.

Duke is going to have to really guard Mahmoud too many easy layups that have been given up.

I like that they are booing Allen every time he has the ball

It is going to happen all season on the road whether people like it or not. It is called bringing it on yourself and now you know what it is like to have a target on your back that everybody will be aiming for.

After a terrible start PSU has fought back against Minn at home.

And Amir Coffey goes down on a fast break intentional foul.

Ended up winning too. Just the way Penn State plays screams out about the exact team we struggle against. I mean, we have in the past and now they actually have talent. Stevens and Carr are going to be a pain to deal with for years

52-50.... If we play any game that low scoring we don't have a chance.... Is Minnesota overrated? Is Penn State underrated? 

Both teams are actually statistics wise very bad at offense and very good at Defense so I can see how that outcome would come about, but I sure hope our high powered offense can do something against them.

I'm getting a kick out of it because after Minnesota beat Purdue, I had Purdue fans telling me Minnesota was a top 4 team in the league and a lock for the tournament. They gave up 92 points at home to a team that's scored 47 and 50 in its last two games.

It must be nice knowing you'll win the game/conference no matter how bad you play.

Illinois was keeping Maryland in front of them for the stretch I watched. That's more than half the battle on defense for the college game.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,929]

Looks like Maryland will win on road.

He put a target on his back and everybody is going to be aiming for the bulls eye that is what happens when you put it on yourself I like him but sometimes I just have to wonder.

Speaking of Grayson here is what Pitino had to say:

"I think it's a reflex, like someone throwing an elbow, because he's a highly, highly intelligent young man, so why would you do it?" Pitino said of Allen's incidents. "I think he's a terrific young man who made a mistake, made three of them. I think it's a reflex action, when he does something wrong, he'll lunge out or trip someone out."

Butler played Xavier and the students were booing Myles Davis for facing two misdemeanor criminal damaging charges related to incidents with a former girlfriend. He was suspended indefinitely and served fifteen games and he went through an anger management course.

Just watched recording of notre dame and Virginia tech game. Very impressed with the way notre dame is playing right now. They had a huge lead and then lost it with 2 min to go on the road. Their point Farrell made winning plays down the stretch. I'm sure there are higher rated players then him but he can run my team any day. Most impressive play was with notre dame up 3, tech rolled the ball to save time and Farrell laid out and dove ( like yogi did vs Maryland) and got the ball and put them up 5.
