Nova needed to do two things against StJ to be competitive, take care of the basketball (ok job) and rebound (awful job). And somehow Ruiz got to the line 20 times in this one. I didn’t see the game but a very weird box. STJ beat them at the line. Not sure if this was yet again more lopsided BE home cooking with refs or just a mismatch they abused.

Most of his FTs until he was fouled at the end of the game were of offensive rebounds.

They were competitive with St. John's. They were down 1 point with around 2 minutes left.
 
Not sure if DePaul can hold on here but they’re using a zone effectively against Marquette up til now. DePaul killing Marquette on the boards 32-20
- will stand by early thoughts Marq is just not a team built for March.

Nova finding ways to blow it giving up a 4 point play up 3 with 1:40 to go.
 
pulp non-fiction. and it's glorious. what a sad state of affairs in south canada. down by 23 with 4 minutes to bear.
 
Kentucky looks really good tonight They are long, quick and play a nice brand of basketball. Pope seems to know his stuff.

Cooper Flagg on ESPN prime time tonite. Damn, he has lived up to his billing. Imagine if he chose UConn over Duke.
 
We knew DePaul had no chance once it went to OT. I would have went for the 3 at the end there for the win than the two to tie I’m them.

Gtown has no idea how to close a basketball game.

Arkansas 0-4 in the SEC and have Missouri on the road next

Arkansas was #16 preseason. Not looking so good so far.

The SEC is a land mine. Unranked Missouri goes to Gainesville and knocks off #5 Florida 83-82.

#21 Ole Miss beats #4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa 74-64.

#1 Auburn and #8 Kentucky hold serve at home.

Baylor getting smoked at Arizona.

Wild night in college hoops!
 
It's looking like the Texas and Baylor wins are going to age like avocados. Baylor will probably win some big home games just with the number of opportunities in the Big12, but they're not a top 10 team like they were pegged in the preseason.

Texas just doesn't run any semblance of an offense. Almost like Arkansas but with worse talent (as a team).

Texas didn’t play last night. But yes Terry is one of if not the worst coach in American, alongside guys like Woodson and Cal. Cal has bottomed out.

Arkansas is 0-4 in league play after losing to 0-3 LSU. They may not win more than a few games in league play. Meleek Thomas must be excited to be part of the roll the ball out there and go offense.

Gotta give Cal credit. Not only has he been able to keep his fraud going for well over two decades now, he still has morons falling all over him to give him more money.

Bernie Madoff would be proud

It’s not like he doesn’t have talent this year. He has a holdover in Brazile once thought to be a lottery pick. He brought in 2 top portal guys in Davis and Aidoo, both who have played deep into the tourney. He’s got two of his own UK guys in Thiero and Wagner (burger boy), and 3 frosh burger boys in Knox, Fland and Richmond.

By all accounts that is a loaded roster, that he do nothing with. A Ponzii scheme indeed.

from bracketology yesterday morning before the big upsets:

It was only a matter of time before the quality of this year's SEC eroded its quantity of projected NCAA bids. Since somebody has to lose whenever one SEC team plays another, the league's bubble teams are living a game-to-game existence. A week ago, Arkansas and Vanderbilt were on the right side of the at-large cut line. Now, due to their combined 1-5 record in conference play, both would be hosting an NIT game if it were mid-March instead of mid-January. With Texas just behind the unlucky two, it's not wrong to say the SEC is a whisker away from 14 tournament bids. But the reality is there's a reason the Big East's 11 bids in 2011 is a record that has lasted nearly a decade and a half. For now, it seems the SEC will recover enough to ultimately break the record, mainly because there are simply so many Quadrant 1 opportunities for its tourney contenders, but that outcome is no longer a lock. And the first weeks of league play have made it clear this topic will be a major Bracketology discussion point through Selection Sunday.

In all likelihood, the only path to the SEC not getting 12 bids is for both the SEC and B1G to each get 11.
 
Flipping thru channels just now and noticed Josh Pastner announcing the SMU-UVA game. I had no idea he was out of coaching. Even given his sketchiness and lack of success at GA Tech, I would've thought some school would want the guy based on his success at Memphis, NBA experience, and that he's still only 47,

And they got blown out at home to George Mason tonight. They lost at UMass, you know the Mullins Center that struggles to break attendance of 1,000 people since Calipari left.

It makes Marquette look bad, too-they lost at Dayton.

We got smacked by 19 neutral site is the issue
 
Dayton, Colorado, Memphis, etc. Beating the team that beat UConn does have a nice ring to it. They are finding out.

We will be the “signature win” that may get a couple of those teams into the dance if they're on the bubble…
