Watching Houston vs G Tech right now
Grimes is an amazing player and Houston's athleticism is going to be a HUGE issue for UConn - as usual it's going to be men vs boys
UH is ranked in top 5 nationally in rebounds and rebounding differential

UCLA coach Mick Cronin reprimanded for chiding officials
Mick Cronin complained Saturday in his postgame news conference that he thought there were too few fouls called on UNC defenders in the first half.
LOL

What year was that game at XL where Cincinnati got hosed on a call, Cronin went crazy, and the entire arena was laughing at him? I think he got a technical.

Great game, just finished watching the DVR.
Between their zone, accuracy from 3, McDaniel's transition-led offense game and Stewart's interior prowess, Washington had a secure lead but Houston's rebounding and ball control in the 2nd half (2 turnovers I believe in the 2nd half) helped give and secure the lead.
Fabian White scored a career high 19 in 24 minutes while freshman guard Caleb Mills also scored 19.
What impresses me the most about Houston is how quickly they've turned around their backcourt. It's impossible to replace the trio of Davis/Brooks/Robinson but getting the waiver for Grimes plus the better than expected play of Mills and Sasser has been huge. Hinton and White with big improvements too.
It was fun to watch Washington for the first time. They are a flash-in-the-pan team with McDaniels and Stewart likely to be one-and-done, but McDaniels' athleticism and ability to lead the transition was impressive and he has an NBA ready offensive repertoire. Stewart is a maestro under the basket and while I'm not high on his NBA ceiling, his 7'5 wingspan, energy, strength and offensive tools makes him one heck of a college big man.

Maybe this one? If not it's pretty similar. I'm guessing Cronin gets laughed at by opposing crowds on a semi-regular basis.

Not basketball related but this is a wild story. Miss States QB is out for their bowl game Monday because a linebacker punched him in the face and broke his orbital bone. Linebacker is still practicing with the team and looks to be playing? lol.

Interesting that UCLA has no McDonald's All Americans for the first time since they started the McD game in 1977. That's a heck of a streak.
UCLA's loss to Cal State Fullerton serves as a reminder that Mick Cronin inherited an awful situation
This is the first UCLA team without a McDonald's All-American since the award was unveiled in 1977

It is strange how UCLA has been so poor at matching it's coaching hires with the personality of the school and region. Alford couldn't handle the bright lights of Iowa City, but UCLA thought he would be successful in Westwood?
Cronin seems like another terrible fit, as does Chip Kelly.

Yes, but thet've got 23 year old Prince Ali, 5th year senior, shooting 19% from 3, and averaging a shade under 10ppg.Interesting that UCLA has no McDonald's All Americans for the first time since they started the McD game in 1977. That's a heck of a streak.

We got killed by the worse team in the A10 By far. What does that mean other than we stunk out the place that night.
Comparative scores are typically a bad gauge ,this year they’re beyond stupid.
Ie . NJIT lost to Dartmouth by 5 and Dartmouth beat Cinncy at Cinncy.
So since we killed them we should have no trouble handling Cinncy.
Some how I don’t think it’s going to be that simple.

Games don't happen in a vacuum either. If prior games don't matter, then every team has a 50/50 chance of winning every game, right? Or not.

Two great Big East games tonight.
Seton Hall is really good with Powell, and they are especially good defensively. I am not a Willard fan, but they have the talent to make a deep run in March if they get a decent seed.
