Texas Tech up by 16 over Kansas with just under 6 minutes to play. 

Self just got booted. 

[LamarCheeks]

Red Raiders went nuts after Self was asked to leave. 

79-50 final. 

[Demo]

Not gonna lie, would have guessed this had never happened, ever.

Well, the obvious question is who was the last to do this?  

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Saw this after Kansas lost on the road.

With that loss, Top 10 teams will be just 32-34 this season when playing at unranked opponents.

No idea, but you can bet it was either someone like Kareem or some wildly random bench kid for Wisconsin against IU.

Don't think it was Kareem if the reference to 25-years is correct.  That would make it ca1997-1998.  Now the bench player from Wisky I could believe.

IUPUI versus Detroit Mercy is this week. 

Believe it or not, IUPUI are the underdogs against a winless team.

Need to ask @johnsoniu for that but I think Mercy gets their first win.   They have played better as of late for winless team.  This team at one time was a basket away from winning at Ole Miss early in the season.    IUPUI will have to stop Stone 

[johnsoniu]

IUPUI was a 2 pt favorite when they played earlier, so Detroit will probably be a 1.5 to 2 pt favorite at home.

Detroit was actually favored earlier this year against Eastern Mich and Ball St, but that was 11 or so losses ago.

They both are terrible against the spread, and have been for the last 4 years. If you have the urge to throw some $ on it, flip a coin and then DM me for the gambling addiction hotline # :)

Does anyone know why David left Texas Southern for Detroit? Strange move that is obviously not working out.

I wouldn’t bet any games with IUPUI, they seem wildly inconsistent.  Watched them beat PFW at the Coliseum in Fort Wayne, then turned around and lost to them by almost 30 at home, lol.

A final payday before retiring would be my guess.

Could be.

He had winning records at IU, UAB and Texas Southern -- but has been downright brutal in Detroit.

I looked into this earlier and his salary appears to have gone from 250k at TSU to ~400k at DM. That doesn't seem like an obvious move to me when DM is seemingly a far worse job considering TSU hasn't really stopped going to the tournament since he left after his 4 appearances.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Like most people making $250k, they would change employers in a heartbeat for an 80% pay raise for basically similar work.
