That was an awful call. Just awful.

I disagree.

You can see #10 from UNLV, as soon as the shooting motion starts, stare right at the guy he fouled, and crosses his left leg towards the lane, and is moving and is impeding the offensive players movement.

Wow! You see that Oklahoma State @ Iowa State score? (Didn’t watch it. Just looking at the box score.) Final was 66-42
At the half it was 37-26
Cyclones turned the Cowboys over 20 times.

Missouri loses to South Carolina by 2 in OT to fall to 8-8(0-3)
SF beats Portland to improve to 14-4(3-0)
Ball State loses to Toledo by 5 to fall to 8-8(0-4).

MWC might be a 6 bid league. Wow. First year HC Danny Sprinkle is killing it at Utah State. Pitino picked up a massive win in their quest towards a bid. Doubt it'll be when it's all said and done, but 5 looks like a strong possibility.

Rutgers @ Michigan State
Maryland @ Illinois

Finally got a chance to see Purdue in action some yesterday. When that team is clicking on all cylinders it is impressive to watch. And it is comical just how much bigger Edey is than nearly eveyrone else on the court.

Is it an optical illusion or does he actually dunk with his feet on the floor?

I mean he just barely has to jump...he is listed at 7'4" 300 lbs.....not sure how any college team is really supposed to stop that when he is locked in. Have to hope he gets in foul trouble to really have a shot against them.

Fuckin' Maryland!

Down goes Illinois at home.to Maryland.

B10 has a lot of parity...

There's a lot of parity all over college basketball. 13 of the top 25 lost to unranked opponents this week. Think Maryland beating Illinois makes it 14 of 25.

No, you must be confused. I was told by some overconfident boors on this board that Maryland wasn't a good team.

I said it in the Maryland game thread and I’ll say it again. I’m happy we get them only once early and at home. That’s a “W” that will marinate.

Some posters have agendas. Our wins don't matter because they are against bad teams.....and our losses are bad because we only play bad teams.

Just can't win with some people who've already made up their minds.

Agreed. After three lopsided losses last season, that was the win so far that pleased me the most.

Yes, much of it is due to agendas but part of it is due to foolish black and white thinking and thinking in terms of certainty rather than probability. I don't think some of these people understand that if you have a 40% chance of winning, that really isn't such a bad chance.

Pitino's best team (Top-15 and labeled a Final Four contender by national announcers) went downhill when Lynch was investigated & booted out.

Tubby's NCAA team that returned everyone floundered. It was demoralizing when White & Mbakwe got booted out.

Illinois might be demoralized.

BIG games today
Ohio State @ Michigan
Iowa @ Gophers

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Yeah I think Danny Sprinkle can bring it on the coaching side, similar to when he played. Pretty good player…..

Wow, look at the scores of some of these wins.
Beat Akron 65-62
Beat St Louis 81-76
Beat Santa Clara 84-82
Beat San Francisco 54-53
Beat Colorado State 77-72
Beat UNLV 87-86
Some kind of horse shoe lodged somewhere in his person?

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Ohio State at Michigan starts at 11:00
Wolverines with 5 straight losses and Buckeyes with 2 in a row
McDaniel can play in this one since it is a home game? Is that correct?

That's what we've been told. Apparently, they felt he couldn't afford to miss classes so the road games were out for him.

Osobor has been quite a find, and he’s mixed him with a bunch of others who can really play. This is another reason college hoops and especially march madness (including the conf tourneys) are my favorite. Plenty of talent to go around….

That's quite a record. Whether the opponent is really good, pretty good, or mediocre the margin is about the same. They don't let their fans get too comfortable.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

The refs can try to explain it anyway they want to but the worst call in the history of basketball just took place in the Ohio State Michigan game. Michigan defender was just standing there, not in his space as they keep saying, and the Ohio State guy whips his elbow through forward into his nose and knock him to the ground. The call a foul on Michigan and don’t turn it into a flagrant on Ohio State. What a fucking joke.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

Michigan wins. Justice. So sorry Jamison Battle.

 

[rivergopher]

OSU to 2-4 in the big ten. Wowza wonder if the locals are getting restless in Columbus.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

1 of 8 from 3 for Battle.

 

[bga1]

This is the highs and lows of Battle for you. Great at times when the shot is falling. Today- 10 shots 5 points no assists. With him it all rides on the jumper. He doesn’t make team mates better but he can win a game if he is hot.

Then you don’t know Jack

Have to hope he gets in foul trouble to really have a shot against them.

With the recruiting classes they’ve brought in, I hope so.
