Clemson downs cuse, 71-70.
Yesterday:
Clemson with a huge win over Syracuse. Now #81 NET.
Wyoming continues to suck sweaty donkey balls.
Today, Jan 29, games we care about:
Dayton at Duquesne (5pm, CBSSN). Tough conference road game at the 15-4 (5-2) Dukes. A-10 is deep this year.
Northern Iowa hosts Missouri State (5pm, ESPN+). Should be a win. Needs to be.
CSU hosts Nevada (7pm, ESPN3). Pretty even game, with the Rams a slight favorite.
Arizona State at Washington State (9pm, ESPNU). ASU is much more likely to move up in Quads & we have both a road & neutral win over them - so technically I want them to win even though I hate them so very, very much. SIT DOWN, BOBBY! SHUT UP, BOBBY!
BPI can eat my ass.
A-10 right now:Dayton vs Duquesne should be a good game. The St Louis vs Dayton game may have been the best game I have seen this year. I am hoping the A-10 gets more than one bid this year, I know it likely will not happen but there are some great teams in there this year.

would much prefer to see a few A-10 teams in the dance than the current TWELVE Big Ten teams Lunardi has in it
Like it.I'm thinking we'll see TT knock off WVU and Indiana knock off Penn State tonight.
We need Cal to pull off a Miracle against Oregon. Oregon has a LOT of home games remaining and needs to start dropping games if we are going to catch them.Yesterday:
Dayton held off Duquesne for a 4pt win.
Northern Iowa destroyed Missouri State.
CSU got a big 1pt win over Nevada.
Wazzu took down ASU by 2 on an Elleby trey with under 5 seconds left.
Today, Jan 30th, games we care about:
COLORADO at UCLA (9pm, ESPN2). They suck and we will crush them.
Oregon at Cal (7pm, PACN). This one doesn't impact us much. Maybe on standings.
Arizona at Washington (7pm, ESPN2). This one doesn't impact us much. Maybe on standings.
Utah at USC (7:30pm). This one doesn't impact us much. Maybe on standings.
UC Irvine at UC Davis (8pm). UCI with an opportunity for a conference road win to continue its drive to win the Big West (currently 4-1).
Loyola Marymount at Pacific (8pm). Surprised to see Pacific only favored by 6. Maybe there's a chance at an upset tonight.
Oregon State at Stanford (9pm, PACN). This one doesn't impact us much. Maybe on standings.
** Tonight, all the other Pac-12 games are ones whee we play each team the same number of times so the only real thing that matters in the conference tonight is whether CU can get some breathing room at the top of the standings while taking down UCLA.
Bradley's a nice player and Cal also has some guys who can make 3s. Pretty athletic roster, too. But I'm expecting Oregon to roll. Pritchard & Duarte have been so dominant lately.We need Cal to pull off a Miracle against Oregon.

I'm sure Oregon will roll, but I would prefer a miracle.Bradley's a nice player and Cal also has some guys who can make 3s. Pretty athletic roster, too. But I'm expecting Oregon to roll. Pritchard & Duarte have been so dominant lately.

Nothing at allAm I missing something?
When we win out, including at Oregon, we'll finish 16-2 in conference, and they'll be 15-3 at best.
What do you mean “is turning into?”Oregon State is turning into a bad loss. They are 2-5 in conference. With wins against us and Arizona (2 of the 3 top 25 teams in conference). They have played quite a bit on the road, so hopefully they can put together a win streak at the second half of conference play.
It's slipping into lower quadrants. If Oregon State was 5-2 in conference, it would look more like a loss to a quality team.What do you mean “is turning into?”
It was always a "bad" loss due to choking it away in an unbelievable display of bad basketball the final 8 minutes. But it wasn't "bad" for our NET selection sheet until OSU started losing so much and plummeting in the NET ranks.What do you mean “is turning into?”
I get the NET thing.It was always a "bad" loss due to choking it away in an unbelievable display of bad basketball the final 8 minutes. But it wasn't "bad" for our NET selection sheet until OSU started losing so much and plummeting in the NET ranks.
I get it. But the OSU loss still sticks in my gut. I was just being facetious.It's slipping into lower quadrants. If Oregon State was 5-2 in conference, it would look more like a loss to a quality team.
Hopefully the worst 7 minutes of the season, by a wide margin.I get it. But the OSU loss still sticks in my gut. I was just being facetious.
The net +17 points on the road helps the components of the NET.This morning we find ourselves at #16 in NET rankings. The USC win helped more than the UCLA loss hurt
