St. Mary's and CSU tied at 55 with 3 minutes left
Stop ruining college basketball with video reviews. Absolute joke of a review. Big guy hedges hard and fouls him. On no planet is this anywhere close to a flagrant foul.
Dumbasses couldn't take advantage of St Marys' best player fouling out with like 4 minutes to go.

They haven't looked real good so far. I'd say they're every bit the team CSU is...meaning teams we should t lose to.
Also...CSU will be without Strong for six weeks and Lake for an unspecified amount of time with broken wrist and finger, respectively.
Hope they drop off a cliff

Missed that game because I was working yesterday. My mentor worked it so I'm watching it now.
I'm about halfway through the first half, and St. Mary's had a 6-10 point for most of it. St. Marys controlled tempo. They also did a great job clogging up CSU's passing lanes, which kind of sped them up. That's how you defend them. Other teams in that league will do that to them. They're going to drop a few more.
On CSU......they're good, but they're going to come back to earth. That SOS won't be anywhere near what it is right now come March. Utah State and New Mexico haven't tested themselves like CSU has. Air Force isn't anything to write home about, but they're capable of taking the blueprint that St. Marys used.....especially at home. In short, CSU's going to make the NCAA tournament, but they aren't going to seeded higher than like 7.

First saw this as Oak Hill vs NDSU and was like why is a high school team playing a college team. Then saw the first guys jump shot and thought no way that player is good enough to play at Oak Hill….crazy a college team of any sort can be that bad.
I think the enrollment in the college is like 100 people.
Oak Hill plays in the NCCAA. They aren't even NAIA. Private Christian college, but it looks like they have won a couple of games.
Wow! Looked like 5 DBT’s out there!

If you want to know how bad athletics are at those schools, I had a buddy of mine start for one of their football team for four years...He didn't even play high school football...
HOW? Just how? There are 3A HS basketball teams in my area that would beat that team by 30.
See Medford's post above.
Watching UCLA at 5 and 5 scratch and crawl to compete with 7 and 4 Maryland. Wtf?
Those ****ers are gonna go 11-20 next year in the B1G and somehow be a 9 seed in the tourney.
Well at least you will deal with it in a healthy fashion
Meanwhile, our Buffs will be left out with an 18-13 record for going 6-13 in Quad 1 games during Big 12 play.
Good god I hope it's not that ridiculous

That league getting 10 teams in on a regular basis is going to be normal.
Yep. Could easily have 6ish losses against KU/UA/UH/Bay before you're even talking about another group of 4-6 teams with Sweet 16 aspirations. Then you get to 2 or 3 bubble teams who have great NET but questionable overall records.That will be the norm.

@Goose-The Big 10 is always assumed to be this basketball behemoth when it really isn't anymore. They haven't put a team in the final four since 2019. They haven't had a team play for a title since Michigan the year before. The last Big 10 team to win a national championship was the Mateen Cleaves/Charlie Bell Michigan State team in 2000. To compare that to the basketball powerhouse conference we're joining.....the Big 12 has had teams make the final four in 3 of the last four years we've had a tournament. Two of them have won titles.
Purdue's going to be a number 1, but we saw how well that went for them last year. I think Illinois is pretty good even without Shannon. Wisconsin's pretty good. Who else in that league is even worth talking about right now? Michigan State blew a buy game. Michigan did the other day too. Not like the 4 Pac teams they're adding are setting the world on fire at the moment. Oh yeah-I almost forgot......the only power conference men's basketball program to never have won an NCAA tournament game is also in that league!
Meanwhile-anybody who plays in the Big 12 and doesn't absolutely suck is at worst a bubble team.
Well, let's look at it.
As of this morning, Houston, BYU, Zona, Utah, ISU, Baylor, and KU are all in the NET top-30 (we are too, btw), meaning both home and road games against them would be Quad 1. Additionally, Cincy, TCU, Tech, and UCF are all in the 31-75 range, so true road games against them would be Q1. We're not going to play all those teams twice, so some adjustments are necessary. Say, 11 games against the top-30 (out of 14 possible), and 3 road games against the 31-75s (out of 4 possible).
So, Goose came up with 19 Q1 games in BXII play, but I think ~14 is more reasonable. However, add in a few for Maui, and one or two in KC for the conference tournament, and ~19 total is well within reach.
Shorter: we are ****ed.
Are you seriously trying to tell ME that the Big 10 is overrated?
Dude, stop hanging with Baylor alums and ****ty refs.
