Ugh. Chucky hero ball doomed us once again. Great game.

I was there too. I don't know if he's injured or what but he doesn't guard very well and WI didn't guard the dribble off the perimeter either.

MSU wasn't exactly impressive either.

Turnovers murdered us. Shot over 50% from 3, +15 in rebounds, and no foul trouble and only win by 4. Think Wisconsin had over a third of their points directly from turnovers, woof

Some big games tonight worth keeping an eye on:

#17 TCU @ #10 Texas. I think Texas rolls actually.

Baylor at West Virginia. Baylor best not lose this game and start off 0-4.

#4 Alabama @ #15 Arkansas

#6 UCONN @ #25 Marquette

Creighton @ #12 Xavier. Creighton is really really sliding. Know they've had injuries but they're staring at 0-4 in the Big East.

#22 Charleston @ UNC Wilmington. 16-1 vs 14-3 and both undefeated in their league.

Indiana @ Penn State. Do the Hoosiers continue to slide? Yes they do.

#20 Missouri @ Texas A&M.

Rutgers @ Northwestern. Can the Wildcats start off 4-1 in the Big Ten?

MSU had plenty of space to get 3s off for sure.

I was surprised to not see a real dynamic guard like they usually have.

Bucky fans groaned about every time Bauser even got the ball.

Haven’t had great guard play since the lost 2020 with Winston. Our three guys getting time are good but each have a glaring flaw in their game that prevents them from being great.

Oh weird. ESPN usually has overall record followed by league record, but for that game it has overall record then record away from home...which is 0-3.

I see the scores section still has Creighton/Xavier as "home & away" records, instead of the usual in-conference. Odd that nobody there noticed (seems like maybe that would be automatic in the algorithm)

Also noticed same thing w/ Duke v Pitt in ACC

They made a flop hire. No one had a clue who he was. They really needed to try and make a flashy hire after Patino, but failed.
They didn't need a flashy hire, they needed a good hire. A flashy hire is like a recruits' ranking. It only matters until they play the first game, then it's irrelevant. Unfortunately their hire was neither flashy, nor good.
