@jayballer67 IU won by a lot. They look really solid.
ya , they look pretty solid. - - Carolina I think was way overrated at the beginning of the season.- -Also think Duke isn’t as good as some think either- - they have flaws for the talent they have
-
Not to many nights you gonna see Creighton go 2 - - for 23 from the three. , and they have had a lot of good looks from the three - - not really contested a lot , just missed them
-
Baylor/Gonzaga tonight should be interesting. The loser will have 3 losses.
-
It’s streaming on Peacock at 7.
-
Indiana got spanked by Rutgets today
-
Baylor got stomped by Marquette the other day in Milwaukee. Badgers beat Marquette tonight also in Milwaukee. Strange results.
-
Good lord UNC is bad. Now lost 4 in a row.

Agree. My question is - - how do you go from being # 1 or preseason # 1 to what they running on the floor now ?
-
@jayballer67 I honestly thought that was smoke and mirrors. They flat sucked for most of last season until they got scalding hot late. Then lost their best player in Manek and replaced him with a total stiff. The pieces don’t really fit and Hubert isn’t a great X’s and O’s Coach.
-
Missouri looks like a decent rec league team. Gave up 89 against SEMO (they did win tho). They could not defend members of this board (slight exaggeration).

I’d light em up lol
-
Michigan St is seemingly on the downturn. Northwestern beat them by 7 tonight in East Lansing. Pitt destroyed NU last week.
-
IMO Izzo just doesn’t have the talent level he normally does. Mady Sissoko has improved a bunch at the 5 for them and he’s the only starter they got who’d start at KU currently. Normally you’d be splitting hairs with starting 5’s.
Not sure the NIL frenzy, transfer hoopla is playing to Izzo’s strengths anymore. He was always known for developing his guys but his top 2 players are transfers now who’d really be their 3rd or 4th options on his past good teams

Yep… They finally “cooled off!” lol
But they show what can happen when players buy in… they can milk a hot streak all the way to the FF.
I thought we overachieved when TRob and crew took us to the FF. Our hearts carried us a long ways that year!

I steal it from Twitter. I got banned for a day yesterday because I told a deluded Missourah fan we were going to beat them like a rented mule after he babbled on about being better than us in basketball…lol. I figured a Missourah fan would understand mules better than most.

I completely understand why you responded but are you sure he wasn’t a mule?
-
Keep track of that Tweet and come back to it Saturday night. Should be fun….
-
I have been dogging them for ducking us in the bowl game hard. The Missourah Chickens!
-
Read where North Carolina’s drop from the top 25 after being ranked pre season # 1 was the 2nd fastest since UCLA in I believe it said 1961-62 - -they are BAD- - I mean REALLY BAD
-
Texas/ Illini is a hell of a game. Elite 8 or FF caliber game. Terrance Shannon and Matthew Mayer both look good.
-
Frannie is tweeting me…lol.

I’ll say this , yes Texas lost, but man they legit. Quickness, tough defense. Their two guards Hunter & - -dam can’t remember his name - -pretty good tandem. we are gonna have are hands full
-
@Jethro They ducking us like some here want us to duck Wichita St?
-
A few brutal injuries from Arkansas & Michigan for ACL’s.
Trevon Brazile, former Missouri forward is out for the season for Arkansas. Was their 6th man, averaging 11ppg & 6 boards. Also a potential lottery pick.
Jaelin Llewellyn, Michigan’s starting PG is out for the season

I wish we played Wichita state - -everybody says nothing to gain - -I say just playenm anyways -put the hurt on them and call it a day

Iowa flattens the Clones in a game that was one of the most lopsided of the year. It was 29-8 in the first 10 minutes. Clones look the part of a B12 basement dweller.
-
@Jethro So their #20 ranking was slightly inflated?
-
Even worse, Iowa didn’t even have their best player, the other Murray brother who averages over 20ppg.
-

It should be more like #120.

And I thought they sucked at almost everything. Silo Tech- national champions: https://twitter.com/KStateRE/status/1601207606726508546

@Jethro That’s an actual life skill though. Those kids will be good workers. - someone actually worth hiring at their age is pretty damn impressive these days.

Found this today: “Division III Grinnell took 111 shots against Emmaus Bible College on Thursday and every single one of the shots were 3-point attempts. The Pioneers’ 111 attempted 3-pointers set the NCAA single-game record for most 3-point attempts in a game.
What’s more, they connected on 40 of them, shooting a respectably efficient 36% from beyond the arc in a blowout 124-67 win. (The missing four points there for you math wizards came from the free-throw line.) Its 40 made 3-pointers was two shy of Grinnell’s own single-game record set four years ago against Emmaus when it made 42 3-pointers in a win.”
-
@Gorilla72 I am just speculating here, but it looks like the prayers put up by Emmaus had a lower success rate.
-
@Gorilla72 @mayjay I played college basketball and it was for Emmaus Bible College! I scored 2 points taking advantage of a defensive breakdown against Clarke University. They’ve actually developed a program that competes in the NCCAA, the extra C being Christian, and they were in the Final Four last year. When I played we were a glorified intramural team without a gym. Rented an elementary school gym for a day or two each week.
It’s a school of only about 200 people and hats off to them for scheduling Grinnell, a school of 1600 students. Grinnell is the Loyola Marymount on steroids school that never met a shot it didn’t like. They’re famous for scoring but not necessarily winning because their act hasn’t netted them too much success nationally I don’t think.
To be honest calling it an NCAA record is a bit disingenuous. They knew they could win by just shooting 3’s. It was against a non-NCAA school, so just like Billy Preston didn’t really play NCAA basketball because it not against a D1 school, I really think Grinnell should be embarrassed for bragging about this ‘accomplishment’.
The next year I entered the portal and went to KU but Larry Brown couldn’t find a spot for me on the team.
-
Man after an impressive win over Texas Illinois is getting it handed to them by Penitentiary State University.
-
Louisville and Florida St. are playing each other today with a combined record of 1-17. I know Louisville’s issues, but I’m shocked by how bad FSU is because they’re usually a pretty strong team.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Hilarious! Which east coast media outlet is going to feature that horror movie?

Pretty cool story. I’m sure you remember it well. 99% of the rest of the world has not done what you have.

Lady Jayhawks with another impressive win - - 72 – - 52 over Wichita State. No doubt they will be ranked , probably top 20 - - 15 steals - -pretty dam good defense - Good Job Ladies

This is my tweet. Classic Frantrum tonight in Wisconsin-Iowa game. Cost his team the game as the two FT’s in the last five minutes of the game prevented them from winning in regulation.

He’s quite a strange dude. Bottom line is he is a mediocre coach with a bad temper. He’s never made a S16, even.

BREAKING: Texas Tech’s Fardaws Aimaq is expected to transfer, source told @stadium.
Aimaq transferred this past year from Utah Valley, where he averaged 18.9 ppg 13.6 rpg per game.
Has yet to play this season while recovering from a broken foot. Hard cast was removed Monday.
Don’t we need a center?
-
@Jethro Hmm hmm hmm. Bill would have to do someone dirty to make room. Doubt it happens.

He only averaged 13.6 boards last year, down from the 15.0 boards the year before, which led the nation. He averaged 18.9 points per game last year on a wide array of post moves and 3 point shooting. He shot .435 from 3. We was the WAC defensive player of the year in 2021 and also 2022.

Boy sounds like he would be really nice, but sounds like we might not have room ? - without Bill doing something Dirty ?-- wonder why a guy like that is transferring out anyways ? - - no playing time ? - - that can’t be
