Ben Simmons against North Florida with zero defense played.

43 points (15-20/13-15FT), 14 reb, 7 assists, 3 blocks 5 steals

I think it's safe to say he's played his way into the first round no?

Cincinnati and Butler are both sweet sixteen type teams, IMO. Doesn't change the fact that it's a huge missed opportunity for Cincinnati. If you wanna be considered among the elite you have to win those games.

Cincinnati got absolutely hosed tonight. Back-to-back phantom foul calls led to Clark not playing most of the 2nd half and it included a technical on Cronin that completely changed the game. After that point it was all downhill, Cincinnati was a solid 6-8 point lead most of the night until that point. Also that last play, the Butler player clearly lowered his shoulder and cleared out Clark, leading to the bucket. The director of officiating for the entire NCAA was at the game and could not have been pleased. I've doubt we've heard the end of this one.

Teams get "hosed" all the time. Even if it was better for the conference rpi, sos or whatever I for one am not losing sleep over or crying about Cincy or the fruit losing tonight.
 
lol I guess an Indiana player bumped into Coach K at halftime, and Coach K was asked about it afterwards:

Laura Keeley ‏@laurakeeley 14h14 hours ago
Appears like an Indiana player bumped K on his way off the court. K went to Crean, who told him he didn't see it

Adam Smith ‏@adam_smithTN 14h14 hours ago
Something happened with Coach K as the IU players ran off the court for halftime. He stopped. Then Capel went hustling after the IU players.

Adam Smith ‏@adam_smithTN 14h14 hours ago
Don’t know if an IU player maybe bumped him. K then waved Crean over and they talked for a couple moments. Capel was hot, to be sure.

Laura Keeley ‏@laurakeeley 12h12 hours ago
K on the halftime bump: "Where I’m from, when you get hit, you do something. But I didn't do anything about it."

Laura Keeley ‏@laurakeeley 12h12 hours ago
More K on the halftime bump: "I didn't even know what the hell happened, and then boom, I got hit."

How did that even make the headlines? Because he's a 68 year old man with more hair dye than a woman? Or the fact that Tom Crean is an overrated coach at a dead program?
 
UK down 10 near the half. I guess they may have gotten fat on all those cupcakes lately, and it's funny because UCLA is a cupcake with a big program name.

UCLA is playing the best I've seen from them all year. They have been bad, so I wouldn't put this in the books yet.

If UK loses, it's too bad Maryland lost to UNC - they could've been #1 next week.

A team of overhyped inexperienced freshman beating another team of overhyped inexperienced freshman in their first collegiate game doesn't impress me, but it does the layman.

Who cares about being # 1 in December, it' all about being # 1 in April.

Please. If we played and beat Duke, you'd (rightfully) be pointing to it as a great win all season.

ESPN Headline:
Goodman: NCAA mishandles Jim Boeheim case ... again

"The NCAA upheld Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim's nine-game ban. But to change the timetable at the last minute is unfathomable. And the only explanation, says Jeff Goodman: That's the NCAA for you."

Hmm, did Goodman or anyone at ESPN say anything about the NCAA changing the timetable for APR calculations?

So basically he should have sat back in Syracuse instead of going to Atlantis, but the NCAA messed up.

That said, the wording the NCAA used seems odd. Almost like they are giving Cuse/Boeheim the option, or conceding to his request to take the punishment earlier.

It could have changed everything in Atlantis if he wasn't there. I mean Hopkins probably would have put them in a 2-3 zone :rolleyes:
 
Tyler Dorsey just had a nasty fall in the Oregon and UNLV game. Still on the ground.

Nice win for gtown. Hopefully they are top 25 by the time we play them
