Week 10 - Jan 6 to 12

Okay, Juju and Iriafen combined for 63 points on 25-33 shooting. That's filthy! Gonna win you most games if you get that kind of production.


Penn St. 0-6 in conference. There are still 4 winless teams in Big 10 w/ a combined 22 losses. And Wisconsin is 1-5. Bottom five 1-27?!

I had to Google that

Oh man, I thought Duke's other great rivalry was Kentucky. Clearly you aren't venturing far enough west past BBQ Road to where the real good stuff can be found.

Can anyone explain Big 10 scheduling to me? Why can't they get these long distance road swings over sooner than later? If you play on Sunday, why not play the next game Tuesday so you can get home instead of waiting an extra day til Wednesday? Washington is stuck in Michigan and Penn St. is stuck in LA w/ this scenario. Also I notice UCLA's game is now showing as being at Long Beach St.'s arena rather than Pauley Pavilion.

The road swings are also so weird: Sunday-Wednesday kills basically an entire school week. At least the ACC's Thursday-Sunday swings only kill Thursday-Friday. Ah, for the good ol' days of the Pac-12 and their Friday-night, Sunday-midday road trips. Back when the student was at least notionally as important as the athlete...

Yeah, exactly. I know they can do everything online, blah blah, but they aren't even trying to pretend they are the tiniest bit concerned or interested in the academics of "student athletes" at this point. But I think we all already knew that.
