Big Ten game looks like slo-mo compared to UConn-SJU

 

[EnochRoot]

Boy Illinois doesn't look so good in OT.

 

[aceboon]

Thought Wagler should have pulled up from the corner right after the steal, maybe didn't have enough room to square up or got caught off balance. MSU almost gagged that one away

 

[BFieldHusky]

Illinois loses. Duke loses. A good night so far. Now need BYU to beat Houston.

 

[alphasigko]

So, #s 3, 4 and 5 lost in 2 days... Who is the new #3, and where do UConn, Duke and the Ilini land?

 

[KingAG]

Coen Carr is terrible. Almost gave it away

 

[Mr. French]

Fears' whistle is absurd but credit to him for making plays

His whistle is absurd man. He just backs up into guys and gets FTs, meanwhile there’s tackles that the refs ignore elsewhere. I honestly don’t get it.

 

[Dibbie]

MSU almost coughed it up. UConn fans can back of the ledge with #4 and #5 teams also losing. Go BYU!

 

[EnochRoot]

Wow. Why was that guy even on the floor? Without looking at his stats, his two 3 pt shots were as if Rick Mahorn was shooting from 25 feet.

 

[superjohn]

Did Izzo call Wagler...Langley?

 

[Flipside]

Illinois loses. Duke loses. A good night so far. Now need BYU to beat Houston.

 

[gsmooth]

Tennessee -Kentucky 1 pt game with 1 minute

 

[2014DualCs]

You would have to believe we stay 3 after all the chaos from #3-6 this week. Iowa St and Houston have worse losses than us.

We’ll see I guess. I think with the weaknesses of the Big East there are probably a few voters itching to rank us like #10 that we’ll drop to somewhere around 5-7.

Fran ripping the BYU GLeaguer lol, he is pretty bad

BYU's bigs are awful, Keita gets an offensive rebound and airballs a point blank layup

Three man team.

 

[gsmooth]

Houston just looks better than BYU. They are up 8 with the ball with 3 minutes left in Provo.

BYU does a lot of foul baiting. If they run into the wrong officials in the NCAAT they could exit sonner than expected. They are a 3-man team.

 

[caw]

As it stands only two teams undefeated (Zona/Miami) and two teams with a single loss this year (Michigan/St Louis), and only 6 teams with two losses.

Make or break time for Zona (@ KU, TT, BYU, @Houston) starting this week. UM gets their gauntlet starting a week later (@ Purdue, Duke (DC), Minnesota, @Illinois).

ISU and Houston also have pretty crazy ends of the year.

It’s not like it’s hard being a big man playing with AJ. They have one of the worst center rotations we’ve played all year.

Hell, give AJ the Perta kid from New Haven! At least he can shoot.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Duke should move up to #3. Sometimes a loss is just as good as a win. We all saw how good Duke is no matter what the score says.

Is this a shtick? Either way, you've earned yourself a block. 6>5

 

[Mike Honcho]

yes. he's a duke fan trolling here.

Lol, aren't you also a Duke fan? Takes one to know one.

Post in thread 'UConn Metrics (2/1)'

Feb 1, 2026

up til last night's game, duke had been playing significantly better than uconn over the past month. For better or worse, the eye test matters. THey also have 8 quad wins to 5. Their florida, MSU, and KU wins match up about even with illinois, florida and kansas. We have the extra high-level win over BYU OOC, but they also just whacked a similarly rated louisville team by a significant margin. And they have an extra chance against Michigan for an elite win, which I htink is a toss-up at this point.

If both teams run it to the end of the season, Duke has the edge...and I'm not sure...

I hope Arizona goes undefeated all the way until the NCAA Tournament.
