Pretty good game right now on CBSSN

 

[the Q]

Michigan st literally had to run a guy over to get anything called on them.

Jackson just hacked the out of happ on a key spot in the game

 

[the Q]

Man it just must be nice to get all the bs blue blood calls that mich st gets.

Them, duke and unc get more nonsense than anyone, by far.

Houston is absolutely curb stomping ECU, like spankin' them up and down the court to the tune of a 62-13 lead...at the half. They could put in their reserves, with their hands tied behind their backs and still probably win by double digits. This shows the growing divide between the very bottom of the AAC and the very top and it looks like Houston is trending upwards, where as Uconn is in danger of sinking deeper, down to the bottom ... Uconn struggled to dispatch of ECU this year, where as Houston is absolutely fustigating the lowly Pirates.

The officiating in the MSU/Wisc game was awful at best
Both teams received favorable calls but in the last 4 minutes it seemed every call went MSU's way
The freshman guard for Wisc was unreal - just a gamer and a natural leader
Wisc is very young - watch out for them in the future

 

[Drew]

This is just... wow

 

[gtcam]

This is just... wow

Houston could be a real sleeper in the NCAA tournament

I can’t believe we’re getting outclassed by Houston...

I can’t believe we’re getting outclassed by Houston...

Houston went to 5 Final Fours during the 2 decades that they were a powerhouse program. We all know what happened in 1983, but in the other 4 Final Fours, they were beaten by UCLA with Kareem, twice; Carolina with Jordan, Perkins, and Worthy, and Georgetown with Ewing. Talk about tough draws!

With 7 seconds left in the UVA/Louisville game and Louisville up 66-62, Padgett apparently decided to foul on a three point shot (which was missed but left 1 second on the clock). So UVA makes the first two FTs, misses the third and is called for a lane violation. Louisville is then called for a travel on the inbounds and UVA then makes a 3 to win 67-66.

In other words, it was the same situation, roughly, as at the end of the 2011 Final Four game vs UK. Remember Calhoun telling everyone to get out of the way at 56-52? The announcers acted like it is a "tough" decision on whether or not to foul there. It never occurred to me that you would foul there.

No one saw St. Bonnies triple over time 115-113 win over Davidson?

From the 19:00 mark I do not think there was a time any team led by more than 4 until the last minute of the 3rd over time. Wow! 33 minutes of super tight bball. For a mid major match up, that was FUN!

 

[Jaker]

UK lol

 

[UConnSwag11]

Shaka shouldn’t have called that timeout. Gave Huggins time to setup his offense

 

[pj]

UK lol

Hamidou Diallo 0-7 with 1 point. Nick Richards had 2 points.

 

[Travelman6]

Great. Now with Cuses win all the pundits will be claiming cuse are a lock for the tourney. sad thing is, they are probably correct...even though they do not deserve an invite, obviously..

As great as this is for the league, it hurts watching Cinci vs. WSU knowing these are the flag bearers of the AAC now, and that we aren't a part of that conversation.

How long has it been since UConn had a conference game similar to this Cinci vs. WSU game?

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Also, Cinci are ripe for an early bounce in the NCAA tournament this year.
On the other hand, WSU can make a FF run.

Cincy/WSU, watching players with muscle on their bones. Except for the unskilled like Cobb next years UCONN team is still a bunch of string beans unless Kisunas proves out.

 

[Drew]

this Cincinnati vs Wichita State game has been highly entertaining so far. Great AAC game on CBS

Kisunas needs S & C. He has the frame though to really get there. High IQ guy who does all the little things.
