Zona goes down to NC. St

didn't really know where else to put this but wow:

Tremont works really hard. Two thing that sets him apart from some of the current UConn guards is his laser focus and preparation. I guarantee you he would never start a game “lethargic”. He is self motivated. Let’s give the Dad a little credit for that aspect. Tremont grew up with basketball always important and with Tremont having access to the opportunities to get better.
So whatever moral handwringing we want to do on let’s call it the “business” transaction, Tremont is basketball pure as a player.

What channel is the duke game on? I see unc is on espn

Tenn up on Nova by 14, late first half. SEC may be a decent conference to watch this year with A&M leading the way. Shame Porter for Mizzou out, would have only added another good team to the mix

That was a pretty crushing defeat. I so desperately want the AAC to be respectable.

On the other hand, Wichita State are still really freaking good.

Losing by 1 to a very good ND team, because of a few questionable calls to boot, is indeed very respectable IMHO. That was one of those games where it was a shame one team had to lose, it was good.

So I see that SMU is a 7.5 point favorite against #2 Arizona. What am I missing here?

UCF v Nebraska kind of an important "pack" game for the AAC. UCF lead down to 6 with 4:22 left.

 

[Jimdish255]

UCF holds off Nebraska 68-59.

Wild sequence just now in Seton Hall/URI. One point game with 21 seconds left, ESPNU.

 

[champs99and04]

That's what I figured, the ESPN scoreboard thing must be broken.

What a finish between URI and Hall. Hell of a shot by Terrell (local kid) to win it. Rhode Island looks like they could be damn good again this year, maybe even better than last year.

Butler and Texas are on fire...... 28-23 with 15 minutes still left in the first half.

EDIT: oops.

RI won that game without two starters playing. So they could be interesting for sure.

SMU has Arizona on the ropes - up 5 with about 1m left

 

[Adios]

Duke has this one in the bag, Arizona is the only challenger.

SMU is on the way towards the biggest win in their basketball program's history. Makes up for the loss to Notre Dame yesterday by WSU.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Smu beats Arizona

 

[Balker]

BIG night for the AAC

 

[nelsonmuntz]

SMU scores a great win, and UCF chips in with a respectable win over Nebraska.

 

[Kemba429]

Why is DePaul in red, thought they were supposed to be blue?

 

[Jimdish255]

BIG night for the AAC

Agreed. This starts to move the needle just a bit.

 

[Balker]

Agreed. This starts to move the needle just a bit.

ECU drags us down so much, basketball team should just be expelled. Have they ever even won a conference... wait nevermknd.

Tywhon Pickford for Northern Iowa is a 6'4 guard averaging 11.2 RPG. Pulled down EIGHTEEN rebounds versus NC State yesterday. Jeesh

 

[Jaker]

Sean Miller is on the hot seat, program under investigation, drop 2 games already to inferior teams, Miller must be sweating.

I'm sure he is sweating but I don't think he is near the hot seat.
