Yeah, I knew Carr is good but those guys aren't going to carry the entire team.

Also, the RuffRuff curse might be on watch, they're beating AZ right now.

Some talent, on road. Baylor not playing for much, this is their SB.

Conference road games are tough. Baylor has some talent but they're also 14-13 overall and 4-10 in the conference. They're not exactly a great team.

I don't know about it being Baylor's SB. Baylor has already played Iowa State, Houston and Texas Tech (before Toppin got hurt) at home. So they've already hosted a bunch of highly rated teams. Plus this is only Arizona’s 2nd season in the Big 12. It’s not like this is a rivalry game. I bet Baylor and their fans would rather beat Kansas even though Arizona is ranked higher (though they don't play Kansas at home this year).

You don’t think playing the number 2 team in the country at home in a throw away season sparks some juice? Will also be many scouts there.

I'm sure it does get the juices flowing. But any more than those other 3 games I mentioned? Tough to have 4 Super Bowls in a month and a half.

Honestly, it sounded like you were making excuses for Arizona.

Nope. Just saying a team with some talent could make a game of it.

There are no teams in the BE two first rounders starting.

Shotmaking/offensive executive in the 2nd half for Arizona has been nuts

Baylor also shooting it at 50%. Many of us like to reflect on how CBB was so much better back in the day when it’s likely if you went back in a time capsule and pitted a team like AZ against a great team from the 90s they’d destroy them more often than not. The quality of the athlete with all the teen development is so much better.

24 UConn would roll just about any historical team in a vacuum, and I’m talking about historical teams, I’d say even Jordan NC. I personally think they’re easily the best team of our lifetime. That Nova team is the only one that could present issues.

For instance how would those Laettner Duke teams even compete? Castle smothers Hurley, Clingan sophicates Laettner, probably keeps Hill away from the rim too. They winning with Brian Davis?

Alot of Jamal Murray in Burries' game, including the clutch shotmaking

I’ve loved Burries’ game since we weee recruiting him as a junior or so. Smooth and tough.

BYU coming off a huge win laying an egg down 24 to UCF. Woof.
 
I know BYU is a 2nd half team, but they are really putting this to the test in this game against UCF. They are down 35 pts with 14 minutes left.
 
BYU playing like a team that emptied the tank Saturday to get that win vs Iowa St
 
UCF goes on to beat BYU 97-84. They have victories over Kansas and Texas Tech this year and play Baylor next. I live near Orlando and the Golden Knights’ fans are getting vocal.

Not just beat. Throttled them. They shot like 60% from 3

Between the NBA and CBB it feels like Robbie Hummel is calling a game 7 days a week. Pistons/Spurs on Monday, UConn game last night and now on the call for Purdue vs Mich St, guy must live in the airport from Nov-April.

It sounded like he was doing a Jay Bilas impression last night. His voice does not match his face. I like him though.
