Maryland/OSU got booted off the TV rotation.  Can’t have that blowout on with all these other good games on

Baylor UConn has been great. Karaban is out, UConn down 1 at half. 

Marquette/Iowa State and Duke/Auburn should be fun. Glad I have the + for once.

Miss McNeely nice looking lady

Maryland up 40, that's right 40 points over O$U early in the 2nd half.

That is why you should never keep an interim coach. Lol

Who here wants to see UConn and Hurley lose another game? I do.

[Hoosier DaDa]

Baylor is in some major foul trouble.

Really fun seeing former MVA teammates Robert Wright and McNeely having good games.

Hope the other games tonight meet the hype in the same way.

Baylor at #15 is kind of a head scratcher. They lost to the Zags by 38, Tn by 15 and beat St. John’s by 1-pt in double OT.

Got some UConn students in my surround sound that keep making weird noises and saying “Dan Hurley is the best coach in the country.” 

I hope they lose for that alone.

Yeah, watching McNeely play tonight I so wish he’d stayed at IU. But I completely understand why he didn’t.

North Carolina looks like they’re going to be 500

This UConn team is much more similar to their 22-23 team than the dominant 23-24 one.

Talented but with clear weaknesses... Perimeter defense. Ability to penetrate. Big man depth/talent. 

They have a bunch of new guys and took lumps in Maui as they figure out their roles and identities.

Good win for them vs. Baylor but clear they still have a long way to go. 22-23 team got it figured out around January IIRC. 

Tarris Reed played at Michigan last year... he was a nice player on a terrible team, able to play a ton. 

In 7 less mins per game, he's averaging 2 more points, 2 more rebounds and 26% better FG%, 12% better FT%. 

UConn fans would like to see more of him and Jaylin Stewart, less of Samson Johnson. I think that'd be smart. 

But Hurley knows what he is doing. The talent level is arguably higher than the 22-23 team.

They definitely could lose. But they could also 3-peat... IMO. Not sure if that's a hot take or not. 

Robert Wright on Baylor is a complete stud by the way.

I wish we had a Nate Oats type coach.  Fun offense. Some grit. Some cool factor.  Lots of talent.  Seems like he’ll be a top 10 type guy until he says otherwise.

At this point I’d settle for somebody who wants to actually be the coach at IU and all that comes with it  Last person who did was Crean

Acc looking good
