All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Other Games Thread

In the battle of the two studs we lost, Texas A&M beats Texas Tech by 5.

Payne with 6 pts and 1 rebound
Hawkins with 7 pts and 5 assists

Against the teams with a pulse (St Joe's, Cuse, DePaul and A&M) Hawkins is shooting 28% from the field and 30% from 3.

I watched the last 7/8 minutes and I don't think Payne saw the floor.
Hawkins had 6 turnovers also
 

Maybe somewhat overlooked since Hawkins is at TT now too, but I'm amused that Kerwin Walton (in his 5th year) was one shot attempt and one rebound away from just doing 18 minutes of cardio today.
 

Wow. UCLA just banked in a three to take the lead (back) against Oregon in Eugene with less than a second remaining.

And they win. Good for the Bruins.
 

Wow missed that in the box score. The only thing he did while I watched was hit a 3, and have a turnover. Next to no impact.

Out of all the departures, it looks like Ihnen is the only one that has had any type of success.

Carrington is playing a lot of minutes but he's not shooting any better there than he did here. Given that JOJ hardly got off the bench here during the latter part of last season (I'm still not sure what the story was there), he had to transfer. The transfer to Cal seems to be working out pretty well for him.

But, yeah, it's Ihnen who has really thrived. Apparently, the Liberty coach has unlocked Ihnen's talent in a way that the Minnesota coaches never could.

My first instinct was to think that I'm glad we didn't recruit him but then I realized that he couldn't have done much damage to this team.
 


NDSU beat Butler 71-68 at Hinkle. Bison led 44-23 at halftime. Jakari White had 27 points, 7 boards and 7 threes for NDSU. Good win for the Summit League.

Been thinking for a bit that presumably we aren't going to get the same amount of teeth gnashing we did last year about how few bids the Big East gets this time around.

I do feel sympathy for our Marquette Gopher friend since they're going to be dodging more seed-deflating landmines in league play than they may have expected.
