Would be a shame if Iowa went 0-3 this week against Duke, Iowa State and Wisconsin on Sunday.

I thought I saw Michigan State early and they looked like they were 'back' but now they're 5-4, coming off a loss to NW and in a tough game at Penn State.

Tuned in after the women's game to see how the Nebraska Fighting Freddies were doing after beating Creighton this weekend and the first thing I saw were two of his players run into each other on cuts, and then another stand watching while Indiana made a layup.

Izzo seems to not recruit well anymore. I think the game is passing him by.

His team looks like D2 talent out there.

Miami beat Cornell 107-105 in regulation. Looks like that was good game.

I've seen a lot of teams so far this season and know it's early...but UCONN is the best team I've seen and honestly it's not that close. They are throttling Florida on the road right now.

Yeah UConn is scary good. Their defense is so fast and athletic. And the pieces they have on offense to junk up the game and get out in transition is scary. If you gave us their talent this is a bit of what TJ’s ceiling can look like. Even in our game with them you could see both teams were relentless on the defensive side. They just have far superior athletes and bigs but the gritty nature is cut from the same cloth.

Switched to Seton Hall game. They are playing on campus in an old gym tonight:

Agree with UConn statement. I said they will be ranked #1 at some point with the players they have . They are already 9-0 and 5th

Watching IU v Nebby.

Crazy stat - the dude from IU just got only the program's 3rd ever triple double. I would have guessed they'd have a lot more than 3 all time triple doubles for such a storied program.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Trayce Jackson-Davis has just recorded Indiana's 3rd triple double ever.

 

[stormchaser2014]

One of the Hoiberg twins is on the team. I'm getting old.

That DOES seem odd.

 

[ianoconnor]

ISU has 6 triple doubles as a reference. Last being Haliburton in 2020.

 

[cyclones500]

Curious if they said who are other two IU triple-doubles (I'm not watching the game, maybe it was noted)

Juwan Morgan and I can't remember the other one, Steve something in 1971.

St Johns blew out Depaul

Thanks!

Found it: Steve Downing

"Notable performances included the program's first triple-double: 28 points, 17 rebounds and 10 blocks in an 88–79 win over Michigan at the IU Fieldhouse on February 23, 1971."
