I'm going with UConn by 3.5. What do you got before the lines come out?

Xavier getting crushed by Santa Clara - that's a bad thing for the conference.

I wouldn't say very little - 4 boards, 1 block in 14 minutes. Extend that to 28 minutes and it's 8 boards and 2 blocks. Reed had 8 boards and 2 blocks in 25 minutes. Seems pretty close to me for the frosh vs senior. Definitely would be good to see him make some more shots, dunks, putbacks. But...

Reibe is fine at this point. Once Reed gets back to 30+ minutes and Reibe is at 10 minutes, it's a plus for the team. 4 points and 4 rebounds is in the wheel house. There were times where they left him on an island (which you can do with Reed, but not Reibe). A little help defense would be...

13 minutes of good ball to end the first half and the rest, blah. Free throw shooting was bad. Rebounding should be much better. Too many fouls in the second half. Nobody got hurt. Columbia may be not too bad - they ran some good sets and hit some tough shots. We'll finally get to see...

I doubt it's the fiber connection being an issue - any fiber is simply fast. Most likely the wifi router - how old is it? How far from the TV? If you can easily run an ethernet cable to the TV, that would likely solve any problem without buying new stuff. Even if the TV and/or router or switch...

That's why Hurley called an early timeout in the second half and cussed out the team - You have to keep the intensity no matter the opponent. You have to learn 40 minutes no matter who you are playing. Taking your foot off the gas when up 47 is the same as taking your foot off the gas when...

One other thought - a guy like Millender off the bench behind Diarra last year would have been huge. He's the third PG off the bench this year. That's fixing a problem in a big way.

1st half - great intensity and defense vs a team that was too nervous to make some easy buckets. Only 3 turnovers in the first half. 2nd half - lost some intensity. Some helter skelter ball and too many early turnovers before the starters went out. Got to have 40 minutes of intensity vs top...

Peat looks legit for Arizona - kind of a beast

Some great games on FS1 this evening. Ooops - meant TNT

PG El Amin $2 SG Gordon $4 SF Gay $3 PF Vil $3 Center Clingan $3

Dino 2 weighing in. I've had DirecTV for decades. Yeah, it definitely costs more than streaming, but the convenience completely makes up for that for me and my wife. I tried going to streaming about a year ago - got some trials and started to use it (while keeping DTV in place) and it just...

The only thing worse than the smartest person in the room is the person who thinks they are the smartest person in the room and isn't. Now can we get back to UConn in the NBA?

I think it's easiest in the NBA cause so many points are scored. You can shave 3 or 5 points without necessarily changing the outcome. You can't do that in MLB or NHL and even most NFL games are too close. Unless you just don't care and throw your team under the bus with a loss to make an extra...
