Lol if you think that should’ve been a flagrant. 

Called all the time in the NBA

Little Richard has UNM ranked. Gophers regretting that decision 

That Xavier vs UConn game will be a good one on Saturday

I think some of us, myself included, underestimate any opponent that's not from  P6 conference.

Kennesaw State was experienced, played defense, played hard, has some shooters, and are well coached...

I can see them making some noise in the Atlantic Sun, and giving a 2 or 3 seed trouble if they make the tournament... 

I read that they are expected to win their conference

Not sure if this has been posted in another thread but I just saw it on Twitter. Wonder if there is any truth to it?

Feel like it’s 2013 again and hearing about Creans practice…

Xavier

The Kansas crowd will be difficult to overcome.  They will make the Rutgers crowd look like a walk in the park.

Hopefully the RAC at least prepared them. Prob won’t see a more rowdy crowd outside of Mackey

definitely not being all Doomsday over here.  just bummed that we didn't have our full arsenal in this one.  AZ made big shots.  they are a very good team.  i just want to win games like this.  to me, we have a decent road win against an unranked team, and a nice home win against a team who is now unranked.  really hoping JHS is back to where he was against Kansas and we get that signature win.  if not, i get that conference is the most important thing, but i'm curious to see if we can win conference games on the road.  

I know KenPom isn’t the AP top 25 but UNC is 25 and Xavier is 29 statistically 

Bates becoming a consistent shooter. Wonder what having JHS would’ve done

Actually it worked better for them, if they didn't call the timeout UC would have to hit a 70 foot shot to win. Xavier hit both free throws but UC had a chance to the ball out of bounds that could provide a better shot.

Should be some kind of clock runoff to discourage that

The odd thing is, Courtney Green is statistically the WORST official for Purdue, and it isn’t close. Purdue is like 1-19 against the spread in their last 20 games with him. 
 

But maybe he’s aware of this stat and trying to even it up now?

A Christmas card would probably make it 2-19

Purdue took twice as many FTs as Nebraska and Wilcher, who had 22 against us, had a donut against them... 

He had a few chances to win it for Nebraska in regulation but went incognito mode

Yep, called timeout off a miss free throw but had no e left but only 1.4 to go. I doubt it made a difference in the outcome.

Pretty embarrassing for a coach to do that 

Did UC just pull a Chris Weber?

Watching Houston and Alabama and can't believe how much difference there is in the length and physicality these players are compared to the big ten

And officiated so differently.

Just heard that this is the 1st time Houston has hosted a top ten match-up on their home floor.  That is mind boggling.

Aren’t they joining the Big 12 next year

And Purdue wins again...🙅‍♂️...if that was IU it would have turned out differently 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You sure you’re not PurdueJax

Hope Purdue puts that ref on their Christmas card list

Who had Illinois starting 0-2 in the B1G?

I think most teams are a bad game from their best player and bad shooting from supporting cast from losing. Usually when good teams lose thats the exact formula unless the other team just plays out their rear end. Thank you Mr Obvious LaVall. 

With the level of insight and knowledge it’s no wonder he’s not coaching 

Glad OSU pulled that one out
