ASU takes the lead by 2 with 11 sec to go 

[Uspshoosier]

ASU wins it

Miles Dread is fat. Not DeAndre Thomas fat, but maybe “Glen Davis but only 6’3” fat.

He is also Dread-ful

The new NET rankings will come out later today.   Give us something to talk about but these numbers are going to change.  No need to tell me the net is a junk system or at least wait until we are later in the season before people start the NET is trash talk.  Lol.     A teams NET number is not the end all be all when looking at a resume but it’s really important.  Committee uses it as a sorting tool when comparing resumes

There's still a chance that Purdue won't ACTUALLY be number 1 after today :)

Good for 9th in the Big Ten atm. Iowa at number 9

Def, SOS has hurt them so far. But that will certainly improve once conference play starts

Al Durham is Big East player of the week. Congrats Al!

Interesting factoid from the AP story about the Toiletmakers being No 1.  ... I would not have guessed that Maryland has never been No. 1. They went to the Final Four in 2001 and '02, winning it all in '02 (as we all sadly are aware of). I just assumed they were No. 1 at one point during one of those years. 

Until this week, Purdue had the second-most appearances in the AP poll -- 379 weeks -- for a school that had never been ranked No. 1 (Maryland, 434 weeks).

Ummm.. if I’m reading ESPN correctly, 0-7 Texas  Southern is up 16 points on Florida with nine minutes left in the game.

Yikes

Well Iowa is playing defense and Tony Perkins looks like a dude. They have a chance to be really good and are much more athletic on the wings then years past. 
 

Losing luka and not playing bohannon at the point seems to be working so far on both ends of the floor.

It’s 19 now 

[Stuhoo]

I think it’s game over. All Tx So has to do is use some shot clock

Worst buy-in loss of the year so far?

[LIHoosier]

Iowa gives up a 3 to Illinois to give Illinois a 39-36 lead with 6 seconds left. Everyone on Iowa then avoids the ball like its got cooties while the clock runs until Fran calls a TO with .5 left and just spends the time transforming into the Franimal.

Texas So is so hard to tell how good they are because they only play road games until conference play.   They just outplayed them and looked like the better team tonight.   Side note the SWAC started them out with 2 road games to start conference play lol

I always admired Coach Mike Davis's approach at Texas So, he knew his players would take lumps OOC so he would ensure they were taken care of on the road during the first two months or so of the season - nice hotels, good meals, etc.  Treated his team like pro's, I'm sure that is why they fought for him like hell during the conference slate.

[Alford Bailey]

I wanted Davis gone but I admire him for finding a place for himself in CBB.

Murray is taken over this game and now has brought Iowa to within 3
