Week 13 - Other Games

[Tenspro2002]

Really hard to predict who wins the Big XII. At the moment, I think they will all keep beating each other and the top 5 will be pretty close. Nobody seems to have separated.

Yes, and for what it's worth I have futures bets of just about all of the top Big XII contenders (except Texas, can't stomach betting on them) to the Final Four. Hopefully they're not all frauds.

Thank god that Bama & Iowa St keep winning most their games...those 2 wins in Nov only thing keeping our season relevant at the moment.

 

[Hi-Low]

No UConn games this weekend so my key games to track for UConn relevance (our key resume wins to date) :

. Bama @ Oklahoma - Go Bama (Sat 2p espn)
. IA St @ MO - Go Cyclones (Sat 2p espn2)
. X @ Creighton - Go Bluejays (Sat noon cbs)
. Fla @ K St - Go Gators (Sat 6p espn2) - Fla a bubble team so need wins
. Ole Miss @ OK St - Go Cowboys (Sat 8p espn2) - OK St a bubble team so need wins
. Utah @ OR - Go Ducks (Sat 8p) - OR outside of bubble so need wins

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Check out this dunk from the one-armed Hansel Emmanuel!



The freshman is more than just a good story: the Northwestern State Demons have a 13-8 overall record and has averaged 6 mpg as one of the team's reserve guards.

Xavier getting a spanking by Creighton. Go figure

 

[Huskyforlife]

Nate Oats and Alabama down 50-33 on the road to 11-9 Oklahoma. Wonder what their fans are saying about Oats?

Big12 is rolling over the Sec so far

Big12 is rolling over the Sec so far

Except for the game we want to see that in. Iowa State down by 16

 

[Minicoop69]

Our 2 best wins, Alabama and Iowa State, are both going to end up losing today. Weird college basketball year this is

Both lost big on road but doesn't help our Metrics at all .... we might have to actually start winning games again.

Haven't been on the Pitt board yet, but I think that after today, there might be some opinions that Capel was actually the right guy. I thought Pitt was toast at halftime, and then at least four times in last 10 minutes when every run they made was immediately answered by Miami. And then with a one point lead, Pitt inbounder threw a bounce pass that hit the OB line under 10 seconds. But Pitt had consecutive stops, including just ripping the ball away from Wong. Pretty damned impressive win. And Pitt's first sellout since 2019.

TCU down

One of the UTs will lose, so 8 teams today.

What a crazy year.

 

[ucp990411]

Watching Texas vs Tennessee. I think Tennessee is the best team in the country. What may prevent them from winning the championship is the coach. No confidence in Rick Barnes.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Unranked Oklahoma overwhelms No. 2 Alabama

No. 2 Alabama's nine-game win streak comes to an end as unranked Oklahoma runs away with a 93-69 victory.

Yet another huge upset of a top 5 team this year. At least we weren’t blown out by 25 points in any of our losses!

 

[storrsroars]

Freaking Clemson. Three of their last six wins have been by one point, and all won in final two minutes. They just don't seem that talented, but they know how to close.

 

[dvegas]

VT up on Suckacuse by 21 at the half

We are in no position to laugh at anybody

That would be a stupid conclusion to draw. Beating an overrated Miami at home doesn’t make up for years of irrelevance and 7 losses this year. He’s been a disastrous hire for a once very strong program.

Dajuan Harris for Kansas has really gotten so good. Great qb type pg.

Sucks to say this but Pitt has a better team than Uconn this year . Theyll look really good

Capel is still in a precarious position due to nepotism on staff, but he's got a team that will play for him, and he's making smart coaching decisions. Pitt has as many Q1 wins as UConn, even though they realistically only go 6 deep with Hugley sidelined. They're fun to watch. Hinson and Burton would both find significant minutes in Storrs.

This is absurd. If you want to make the claim they are playing better right now, fine but let’s not pretend OOC didn’t happen. For that matter they lost to FSU a week ago. Pitt plays to its competition way too much.

Nate Oats and Alabama down 50-33 on the road to 11-9 Oklahoma. Wonder what their fans are saying about Oats?

Ohio St loses by 16 to Indiana. Fans saying fire Holtmann. Every fan base thinks their HOF savior is 1 call away.
