Completely understandable with all that excitement. A 3-1 Big 1.o record sounds great until you look at it. The 9-5 with a few, I’m guessing, not so great losses looks bad.

Big problem is how bad they have looked on the road.  They had a couple of very beatable opponents in non-conference in DePaul and UMass but they came up short in both.  They weren't close against Illinois, Seton Hall, and Penn State.  I realize that IU has only the single neutral court victory, but the losses they have had so far were by 2 in double OT, and five and three points.  While I'm concerned about IU winning on the road for the resume, with Rutgers that is a huge concern because they're already lost six and have eight more road games.

That and the loss at home to Lafayette....who is now 3-10.

Illinois 7-0 run with Cockburn on the bench with four fouls.  Illinois up 72-65 with  2 1/2 minutes to play.

Nebraksa doing Nebraska things.  And this IS a team with talent.....good recruiting class and solid transfers.

I guess some compare but others just watch each team for who they are and don’t worry about comparing teams to each other or at least that’s what I do

If a team is a potential NCAA tourney team, we SHOULD see how we compare to them.  And it's very favorably, so I don't see the issue.

Loyola down 10 at home to Valpo with 7:30 to go.   Tuesday night hoops is drunk

(Crosses fingers) I hope we’re not their first Big 1.o win.

Sycamores lose in OT.  Only had 7 players available and only played 5.   Heck of a fight they put up 

[RaceToTheTop]

And Nebraskaball loses by double digits to Illinois.

I believe the game was tied when Cockburn went to the bench with four fouls and four minutes left at 67-67.

With Cockburn on the bench the last four minutes, Illinois outscored Nebraska 14-4.

Auburn is rolling at Bama up 11 with 9:26 to go.    They look final 4 good

They have complementary players and Moore is clowning Bama.

No they dug themselves a hole but they will have enough opportunities that if they get hot they could make it interesting.  Long way to go but possible.   Sparty was 4-9 in the B1G at one point last year before they went on run a snuck in.  Who knows

This is the best Iron Bowl I’ve seen since, like, 2 months ago.

Loyola is going to be that lucky team that wins close games they shouldn’t win.   valpo couldn’t inbounds the ball 2 straight possessions and Loyola forces OT where I expect them to win 

[Uspshoosier]

Bama all the way back.  Tie game with 3:30 to go

2OT Loyola just hit a big 3 to tie it up and Valpo missed the last shot
