@HawkChamp UConn played Alabama and won by 15. They are very, very good. I think either would beat us handily on most nights.
Alabama if they’re on looks like the best team in the country. UConn no.
-
@HawkChamp Yeah coaching is important and I’m not sold on Hurley.

@BShark I mean, Tennessee beat us by 14 but after looking at their entire body of work and the way in which we lost, I don’t think they’re the better team. I’ve also watched UConn a bit and just don’t see the same potential as Alabama has at all. UConn has also lost 3 of their last four games. But anyway, it’ll all get sorted out in March.
Tennessee shot 12-27 from 3 against us. Harris fouled out in less than 20 minutes of play on questionable calls (and one obviously bad charge call) in a very physical game. Pettiford left early with injury and only played 3 minutes. A lot of things went wrong for us that game.
Today Tennessee shot 3-20 from 3, but they also missed like 5 or 6 completely wide open lay-ups. Like not contested lay-ups at all. I’ve never seen anything like that before, it was bizarre. Tennessee should have won that game.
Like I said early today, you simply can’t count on a Rick Barnes coached team. Especially for post season success. I will say though I’m glad we do have a loss, wouldn’t want the media constantly talking us up for being undefeated.

St Johns beatin U Conn’s butt today - -80 - - 64 with a a minute forty left today

UConn would be a lot better if they weren’t coached by Dan Hurley
-
Like I said yesterday, not impressed by UConn

You ain’t lying. Self or Jay Wright are taking that roster to a FF.

Sad deal - ‘Bama basketball player charged with murdering his girlfriend.
-edit - not his girlfriend. Just a random girl, in some ways that makes it worse.

Like the 2nd or 3rd time this kind of story has popped up across the country in College sports this year. Crazy

Well looks like we going against a eam not quite as strong defensively if I’m reading right according to the chart right my friend ? - -am I right in this looks like 39th ? Defensively & 37th offensively or am I reading that all wrong? They are ranked 26th overall according to Kenpom right ? - -If I AM reading that right - -then makes me feel a little better anyways - -still gonna have to buckle it up
-
Correct 26th overall, 36th ranked offense, 39th ranked defense.
Weak non-conference schedule. I think this is a 2 man team that has average level starters besides them & suspect depth.
I’m expecting a tough, tough game but ultimately expect us to win, we are the better team with the best coach out there. Hopefully they play with poise.
-
Hopefully Nowell is done with his Linsanity run. Seems to have went back down to his more normal level.

Definitely had a bad game against TCU but worried he’ll be primed for a bounce back at home. He is, after all, the only K-St starter that has experience playing KU.

Thanks for that. Glad I went and got my new glasses today , cause I reading 36th as 38 th lol – - couldn’t make out the difference between the 8 and the 6 lol.- - Mrecy getting old. , & agree pretty much the Johnson & Nowell show. - Just got to play solid
-
You know life is good when there is no KENTUCKY - -DUKE - - OR NORTH CAROLINA ranked in the top 25 - oh , oh and I think also MISSERY dropped out of the top 25 - - ahh yes life is good
-
Man these B1G games are hard to watch. Buffalo ball most of the game and then foul for breathing the last 5 minutes. I’m glad we aren’t in that league
-
@cragarhawk I agree, the officiating has been like that a lot this year. First half just a few fouls and then the 2nd they go whistle happy and it’s double bonus for the last 10-12 minutes of the game.

Zach Edey had 32/17 tonight for Purdue in a one point win over Michigan State. He had the winning basket.

Here’s Tennessee’s big man Plavsic not fouling:

Well maybe I can find joy out of watching UK lose.
So funny they win without wheeler but Cal doesn’t realize that’s why they suck
-
Oh man Cal was HOT in that halftime interview

West Virginia up 15 at half over tcu. Just saw the last 5 mins.

Coal miners daughters?

This surprised me!

KU women came back from 14 down at halftime to beat West Virginia by 19 tonight. KU won the second half 57-24 after being down 34-20 at halftime.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Wow, that’s a big 2nd half!
-
DePaul knocks off #8 Xavier. Didn’t know Sleazy Sean Miller was coaching Xavier. Got them playing pretty well it looks like. But what is it about Cincinnati and college basketball teams attracting the scumbags of the coaching world?

I guess the Misery fans started chanting “F KU” last night in their game against Arkansas. Rent free.
-
@Jethro The picture I saw amazed me and I looked it up. Nearly 15,000 fans in the gym. Misery fans showing up.
But to chant FKU when we’re not even in the house?
-
Happens a lot actually. They have no life

Wow, this UCLA-Arizona St game is great fun. Amazing action including a 60 foot buzzer beater to end the first half. When UCLA joins the BIG I’ll have a new more deadly villain than Fran to cheer against. Because Mick Cronin is a good coach but quite the unlikable character from what I’ve observed. While I don’t like the idea of USC/UCLA switching leagues just like I don’t like Texas and OU leaving seeing UCLA in the BIG does has some enticing allure to it. Gonna be some interesting games.
-
Gonzaga’s 75 home game win streak was snapped last night by LMU. The irony is during the 75 games, the mighty Zags played two (2) ranked opponents. Cupcakes, anyone?
-
@Jethro Do you know how many ranked opponents we’ve played at home in the last 75 years? I’d guess around 25-30? Edit: 75 homegames!
-
@wissox I hope you mean the last 75 GAMES, because we’ve surely played more than 30 ranked opponents at home in the last 75 YEARS! lol
-
@benshawks08 Uh, yes, kind of vegging right now waiting for students to come to class! Long week. Tired, brain farting, fingers mistyping, etc. etc.!
-
@wissox In the last 5 seasons (about 75 home games) we’ve played 21 ranked opponents at home. (I could be wrong on this for sure)

We played 4 ranked teams at home last year. Overall, we played 10 games vs. ranked opponents last year in the reg season , so the majority of our games against ranked teams were either away or at neutral sites.
