A couple decent games tonight with Notre Dame at North Carolina and TCU at West Virginia. Also have Baylor at Texas, which will drop one of them to 5-8 in conference play and really put that team in bubble jeopardy. (Texas is #48 and Baylor is #61, so we get to root for UT to get Baylor out of our way.)

For the Buffs, we care about this one:

Mercer (12-13) at Samford (9-18)... good opportunity to even the record while getting Mercer into a better column on CU's Team Sheet by moving them up a few spots to Top 200.
 
Indiana beat Illinois 78-68 tonight. Illinois is now 0-11 in conference. Illinois has hired both basketball coaches & Lovie Smith since AD Josh Whitman got the job. They are a combined 2-33 in conference. Rick George exercised great judgement in not taking that job.
 
Temple just put 56 points on the board in the first half at Wichita State.

11/15 from 3pt range and also got fouled on two more they sunk 3/3 from the line on. 39 points from behind the arc in a half is beyond insane.

Shockers do not play good defense this year.
 
Temple at Wichita State is one of the best games I've watched all year.

Shockers up 4 with 10:52 left.
 
Big 10 basketball is so like big 10 football. Still, good game on ESPN. Purdue given a lifeline after a terrible last 5 minutes

Wichita really misses former assistant Chris Jans, who's New Mexico St team is having a great season. He's a defensive whiz.
 
Trae Young is ice cold, you can tell he's thinking about it too. He's missed 20 something 3's in a row. Think he should drive it more, see the ball go through some. Check that, he finally made one :D.
 
OU really isn't that good of a team. IMO, they should be on the verge of bubble status with a loss today.

From #4 in the country at one point to 6-8 in conference. Heading the wrong direction.

No doubt. Trae looks tired to me too. He had around 26 I think but it was a pretty misleading stat line. Bigger guards are making him work and it's taking a toll on him, he's not physically there yet.
 
NCAA tourney is going to be insane this year. No clear favorites. Total chaos.

It's been awhile since it's been like this imho. Always seems to be a team or two that's better than everyone else. Meanwhile, Xavier on a run here.
 
Kansas had a 35-2 Free throw advantage over W Virginia at Allen today as they came back to win.

It looks a lot worse on paper than it did while watching the game. WVU actually got away with a ton of fouls. They press, trap, grab and slap with all 5 guys on every single defensive possession. Refs kind of need to swallow their whistles or they'd have to call a foul on every trip.

I understand that end of it. Question though since I didn't see that game, was WVU shooting a lot of jumpers by chance?
 
Michigan St had the largest comeback in big 10 history Saturday, coming back from a 27 point deficit in Evanston.
