18-14 now. This is kind of like IPFW vs Indiana, the Ohio State version. These kids are trying to prove themselves.

Games right before Christmas break can be trap games. Appalachian st down 1 at Georgetown with 9 min to go

Youngstown St up on O$U 14-2. Chris Holtmann wouldn't allow that. Oh, wait....

Is Jim Tressel there for sweet sweet underdog victory against his former Evil Empire?

How’d that Princeton offense work versus Duke?

They are pretty darn special this year. Clearly not unbeatable but man.

When you are as Athletic as they are but shoot 21-25 from Free Throw like, you are going to win a ton of games.

Paul Scruggs update. Averaging 12.7. Have a pretty good year. Not playing well tonight though.

But is it really a trap if you’re not a good team? Though GTown has some interesting talent that Ewing is going to hold back.

Yes it’s still a trap game for a bad team on Christmas break when an even worse team comes in and plays. Kids are thinking about going on break instead of the team they are playing. Coaches talk about the struggle of this week all the time

Butler down 11 to Presbyterian in 1st half. Butler can’t hit anything and look like they are sleep walking

The Blue Hose!  Never heard of that one before.

Looks like Butler players are still flopping like that singing fish!

SUNY Buffalo's taking over the state!

Buffalo/Marquette is going to be an entertaining game. High scoring

Whose defense do you trust more though? Marquette has made strides on defense this season but hasn’t been great. I could see last possession winning it.

Probably Marquette’s since they are at home. Massinburg vs Howard could be fun

Do you want to be a college basketball coach? 3 days ago Baylor wins at Arizona. Today they lose to Stephen F Austin at home. Glad I’m just a fan they gets to watch the chaos.

I also don't buy Ohio State just yet..The lost to an unranked Syracuse team (who, like Oregon, is overrated.) To me, the top of the Big Ten is Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and IU. 

I don’t buy Ohio St just yet either. We will see

Great tweet from Rick Bozich - Buffalo 71, Syracuse 59 — in The Carrier Dome. That’s Four losses while playing only one road game for The Orange.  NCAA Tournament Selection Committee considering knocking the Orange to a #3 seed.

Syracuse is a weird team kind of like Xavier.. on the years they are ranked high and hyped up they fall. But on the years they aren't as highly thought of (2013, 2016, 2018) they do well.

In case anyone doesn't know about it.. Here's the Massey Ratings site. It ranks teams based on an average of a bunch of other rating services, including the NET. It also has links to all of those individual rating systems. Very cool resource!
