Jmu just took Mich St to overtime!
-
GO DUKES

@FarmerJayhawk my alma mater, ranked in football, soccer, and maybe bball?
-
Ballgame!
-
Michigan State goes down 79-76 in OT. Ranked #4.
-
Tom Izzo is now 74-1 in November
-
@approxinfinity it’s the Dukes world, we’re just living in it
-
The last AP top 5 team to lose to an unranked opponent to open the season was…Michigan State in 2005 to Hawaii.
-
@approxinfinity We’ve beaten Izzo in the champions classic in November so there’s something wrong with your numbers. He’s certainly lost in November before last night.
-
Wonder if the stat was non conference home game against unranked opponent.
-
@BeddieKU23 Was thinking it probably was something like that.

75 total November games would be very low for someone who’s been at a school as long as Izzo’s been at Michigan St. considering most teams play 6-7 games in November.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 @wissox i repeated what i heard. Thanks for keeping me honest. Stat was probably derived from “in the last x years”
-
Oh or what @BeddieKU23 said
-
Here is somewhat of the stat. Michigan St was the first team since 2001, (Kentucky) to lose at home in their season opener to an unranked opponent as a top 5 team. So it hadn’t happened in a while.
Izzo is 21-7 in season openers
-
Indiana very un-impressive at this point . just now taking a little control with 7 minutes to go only up now 54-48 over Florida Gulf Coast
-
Auburn-Baylor pretty good game.
-
Cool arena at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux City.
-
Baylor looked pretty good. Turned 6 pt deficit into comfortable win. Got a great freshman Walter.
-
I’m looking forward to watching part of the #12 Arizona/Duke game at 6 C on ESPN2 Friday before our game. AZ put up 122 pts in its opener. I sure hope it does the same against Duke.
-
According to our favorite commentator Franny he said Baylor was the best and deepest team he visited before the season.
Baylor looked good and man Auburn always gets athletes and little quick guards. That Holloway kids is gonna be a stud.
-
Getting ready to watch Duke & Ariz. Of the 15 players for Duke, 8 players are listed at 6’9" or taller. 3 players are 7’ or taller. I remember posting last year that because they can and no one else can, why not play a brief lineup with all 3 of the footers, the 6’10" guy and one of the 6’9" shorties. Just because they can.
-
Is Kentucky okay??? I’m sure they will come out of it but 0-2 Texas A&M COMMERCE is rolling them atm.
-
Does Bilas announce all the Duke games? What a homer.
-
Poor Coach Calipari, he was only able to use one sub in the first half. Against Texas AM-Commerce. Who?
-
@BShark There three 7 footers aren’t playing.
Bradshaw and Onyunso are hurt and the Z guy is in ncaa review
I was hoping we’d play them at full strength so this sucks. Athletically will be at least better than nothing before Maui

Still should have done better but it’s whatever as they did win.
-
The Kentucky box score against TexAM-Commerce is interesting: Cal only played 7 players, Tre Mitchell and 6 guards. The starters all played 10 more minutes than our guys played. The lineup looks more like February, than November. I don’t follow Kentucky enough to know their other players. I saw a post that said K’s 3, 7 footers weren’t ready to play. Someone posted that the NCAA hasn’t cleared 7’2", “Z” Ivisic, freshman from Croatia to play. Tuesday, 8:30 can’t get here soon enough for me. Duke2/MichSt4 has much less appeal now that both have early season losses.
-
@stoptheflop Correct - Bradshaw and big O are hurt for a few more weeks so we aren’t playing them at full strength which sucks.
Good test but we should win.
The real test is Maui and then uconn along with @indiana
-
Anyone see what happened to Tony Bennett last night?
Virginia playing Florida and it’s close and it’s crunch time. Refs review a play and give it to Virginia. The ESPN announcer who played at Virginia calls the refs over and says on our monitor it looks like you got it wrong. Refs look at it and agree and change the call for Florida. Bennett goes nuts saying how can a TV guy help the refs like that? Virginia overcame that and won anyways, but we’d have had an all time collective coronary had that happened against us.
-
@wissox my brother told me about it today. here’s a little more detail: https://awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/tony-bennett-furious-cory-alexander-referee-replay-acc-network.html
-
@approxinfinity That’s the article where I read about it. Crazy.
-
Cory Alexander is the worst. We complain about Fran but holy cow watch an ACC conference game sometime. It’s AAU stories punctuated by some remark about how he knows coach X and he’ll have his team playing better soon
-
@wissox I know that was crazy! He’s not supposed to do that but supposedly there was another angle the refs missed which clearly showed it. Insane he’s an alumni of the team it hurt lol
-
@kuballin10 Sounds like him and TB aren’t buddies by any stretch of imagination. TB is lucky he didn’t get a T for coming across the court to cuss out the TV announcers. Wasn’t a good look for Virginia basketball on all fronts.
-
The announcer says one ref asked him about it. Might have been irregular to affect the call, but can you imagine the outcry if the ref asked for help and a UV alum announcer refused?
-
Baylor getting a tough game from Gardner Webb because of course, why wouldn’t they? I mean GW is 160th Ken Pom and Baylor is 10.
-
Typical officiating crew: Duke 1 foul; MSt 5

Maybe but like Bilas said multiple times your not going to be fouled being a jump shooting team. - Neither team has played like they gonna knock your socks off. – Michigan St 4-44 three point shooting for the season so far - -& we thought we were gonna have problems with our shooting.
-
Would you guys believe me if I told you they are talking about Kansas at the Duke halftime?
-
Kinda think State might steal this game yet
51-43 at the time I posted this. about 9 left
-
MSU on a little roll - -down 3
-
Duke refs shine bright like a diamond

I was just getting ready to post about this - - Doesn’t matter if it’s rat face Coaching these idiots or Scheyer, every fricken whistle seems to blow every time at their end of the floor.-- They sure love protect Flippo, never ends
-
With 3 min left, Duke has shot 22 FTs to 5 for MichSt.
-
@BeddieKU23 Grayson Allen 2.0 gets the craziest whistle I’ve ever seen. Just inexplicable
-
Uconn looks back to back good
Spencer would have been incredible to have here as the 2 but I’m sure he wanted to play the 1 and as @wissox knows not even Steph Curry would start over DAjuan at the 1 for William
-
Duke is consistently unlikable
-
These champions match ups are something Hunter couldn’t touch at Michigan I hope he gives us something to remember about him. What sounds right? Losing while we are #1 no big deal? Or winning when we are #1 says we like being the man.
-
I’m just not sure who I despise more - -Kentucky OR Duke. - -Is it possibly for their to be a tie ? lol
