I remember everyone thinking Porter was a really odd fit at OU. Definitely not universally praised by any means.Remember when the college basketball world praised Oklahoma hiring Moser and mocked Iowa State for hiring TJ?
And, to be fair, TJ didn't light the world on fire at Vegas so it was fair for the national media to have some skepticism.
Purdue at Ohio State on CBS today. I think I was talking about this last year how Ohio State got like 3 home games on CBS even though they weren't very good.
a lot of loser ohio state fans. they gots tvs and nothing else
UVa shot 1-of-11 from the line, too!
UConn's 81-53 win over Marquette is largest margin of victory for an AP top-5 in-conference matchup.
AP Poll began 75 years ago.

"#11" South Carolina had a somewhat bad week.
- Lost by 40 at Auburn.
- Lost at home to LSU, after blowing a 16-point second-half lead.
I have the same sentiments of Moser.
In regards to TJ I think a lot of fans were more so upset at the hiring process of him vs the hire.
The ”hiring process” is what got us Steve Prohm. ADJP knows how to do his job.
I'd imagine they also have contracts to air a certain number of Big 10 games in certain slots. Got to show something.
I know it will change but, that would be a tough region for us. Not one I like at all.
Hope we are not in UConn’s region. Everybody else, bring them on.
It's all about if they're hitting. Shoot tons of 3s and space you out. They've gone a combined 15/63 last 2 games. If I was a 5 I wouldn't want them as a 12.
I'm still hoping if Drake wins out and loses final of MVC they can make it
They've been without their best rebounder and defender, who also happens to shoot 40% from 3, for the last week with a concussion.
The at large is gone (they could survive the SIU loss but the Illinois State loss is a killer) but they're still going to be a horrible matchup for someone if they win Arch Madness.
Drake still has a shot but they've still got games at UNI and home against Bradley and a healthy, better Belmont.
Ya and it’s like it’s Minnesota vs OSU. Purdue and Edy bring CBB eyeballs from all over the country as well and I’ve noticed a kind of quiet campaign to push Painter in to that kind of Coach K/Dean Smith kind of celebrity Coaching personality.
I'm meh on Auburn. I could pick UK to the championship game or have them getting bounced by a 14 seed in the first round. They'll be dangerous if they figure out how to play defense consistently.
I stumbled across Self waxing nostalgic about the old Big 8 days this morning. Those of us who lived through it know exactly what he's talking about and he's spot on.
USF really hammering FAU so far.
Been up and down and VERY physical. Lots of pushing, elbows, etc.
