At halftime. Seth Davis is talking about grambling v Purdue…..man they are a little more dangerous than FDU…let’s see what they can do…I’m just sayin’….jay wright….it is a tough matchup for them (Purdue), but they spent their non-conference schedule preparing for this by playing teams like grambling because they know they’ll play them in a 1-16 game. Puke!! We beat them by 55. Guess we get punished playing these teams but others it’s like preparing for the tourney.

Did UNC beat any tourney teams by 55?

Who are you rooting for here....Colorado or BSU?

Grambling might not have been in PIG if they hadn't had to play #4 team in Hilton.

One does not simply walk into a Big 12 venue, it is folly.

I think their largest win vs the tournament field would be a 13 point win @ NC State

 

[Cyched]

Can the Fighting Larrys do this?

Boise State because Eustachy

 

[HFCS]

Boise is making far more hustle plays but Colorado just better hitting shots keeping it close.

I expect Colorado to be like they used to be when they rejoin next year. Easy to beat at Hilton but we'll lose out in the altitude and weird empty gym on the road.

Cincy trying to blow a lead here.

Edgerrin James' nickname was "Edge". His son's name is Jizzle. I guess the jizzle comes after the edge? Now his name makes sense.

Also learning that they're one of, if not the only, team with a worse NCAA history than Nebraska.

Jizzle is Edgerrin James' kid? How is that not a bigger story?

He’s at almost every game and they usually show him in the stands.

Eastern Kentucky is 0-8. Only them and Boise State have a worse record than Nebraska.

 

[HoopsTournament]

I want Boise State to win. That way after Nebraska loses, they will be 0-8 and tied for worst tournament record all time.

Wow Cincy with the win in OT at the buzzer!

 

[dahliaclone]

Weirdly I am kinda sorta hoping the Mountain West does well overall this year. Not beating Big 12 teams, obvioiusly.

I only watched our game against them, I do listen to some of their games on Varsity. Surprised I missed it.

He could be a good player for a long time in B12.

It is kind of crazy that their top half was just objectively stronger than the Pac.

Reminds me of the MWC football in the early 00s where it was clearly better at the top than at least two "BCS" conferences. A lot of population growth in some of those areas, only makes sense.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Not sure what is is, but even though I’m dying for the tournament to start, I just can’t get into the play-in games.

Cincinnati team really need some discipline. They blew 9 points lead with 2 minutes to go because of some bone head plays. Then they had premature celebration after hitting go ahead 3 pointer with 3.1 seconds to go. SF easily could have scored if they made a good pass.

Second half of BSU/Colorado has been pretty good. Rest of them have been pretty ugly games, first half of this one was brutal.
