Is Louisville taking a dive? Trailing hapless Pitt 28-21 at halftime.

Was a really scary looking foul, hope Fournier can play soon.

She played in the previous game.

She's good to go tonight. The announcers just talked about her in the pre-game stuff with Packer.
 
Okay, I got my "somebody has to win" special of the night--Missouri vs. Georgia.

In a battle of teams needing a bounce back, Ole Miss is up big on Vandy at the half.
 
Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount both have postponed home games tonight, have to assume that is due to the fires in LA.
 
Oregon edges Penn St. on the road, Nittany Lions drop to 0-5 in conference.

The new West Coast additions to the B1G are a combined 16-3 in conference, and only one of those losses is to an old B1G team. I know it's early, but...:rolleyes:

Well considering that half of the "new West Coast additions" are ranked in the top 5, I would certainly hope they'd have a winning record.

Right...

It's more about Washington and Oregon, who have struggled in recent years in the Pac, being 6-1 against everybody other than LA schools so far. But I think you probably knew that.
 
What happened to Vandy? After being handled by Kentucky, they are getting thrashed by Ole Miss 73-43 early in Q4.

Okay, so as not to obfuscate by amalgamation, it's helpful then to observe that the LA schools are 10-0, while the Pacific Northwest schools are 6-3, with 5 of these 6 wins coming against Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Penn State.

Pulling out my USA map to make sure I keep this straightforward.;)

I've noted elsewhere it's not against the meat of the schedule. But I don't think Washington has been 2 games over .500 in conference at any time during either the Wynn or Langley tenure before now. At the very least, I can only surmise the bottom of the B1G is softer than the bottom of the Pac 12 was at any point in the last decade-ish. And thanks to a really large membership, there are more of those bottom dwellers.

Duke NC game is gonna be first to 20 :cool:

They always seem to have these "set the game of basketball back about 100 years" type of games during the Lawson vs. Banghart era.


edit--a thrilling 16-16 tie...at halftime! Maybe first to 30 wins?
 
Louisville managed to wake up enough to avoid a really bad loss to Pitt.

Well, they've had several close calls, but LSU keeps winning.
 
VA Tech and GA Tech going down to the wire, Hokies threatening to give the Jackets their first loss of the season.

Yup but Tennessee didn't wilt when LSU had their initial lead. Hopefully I'll be able to find it online somewhere where.
 
Illinois beat Iowa. Of course life wasn't going to be the same w/out Clark (and Martin and Marshall), but I expected better than this. They need more from Affolter and Feuerhbach than what they've been getting.

edit--Stuelke and Olsen had 18 and 16, rest of the team did almost nothing
 
Chicago St. is in 2OT. They could actually win 2 games in a row.
 
That was incredible win by South Carolina. I have watched A&M a few times this year. They are not good. But they have been solid defensively. For South Carolina to score so much and win by so much. Wow. I think ucla is the only other team in the country capable of that.

Affolter’s missed free throws killed Iowa. And that is kind of the theme of the night for me. Kelly for North Carolina missed two huge ones too.
 
Jacks up by 11 at the half against the outmanned Grizz. NAU will need to shoot more efficiently Sat if they hope to defeat Montana State.

Interestingly the Lopes are also up by 11 at the half against a scrappy Utah Valley.

I find it most interesting that the Vols kept it close without forcing as many turnovers as they had been.

Agreed. I just assumed they would be blown out in a game without turnovers. On the other hand, I am ready for Tennessee to go on the road. They have played enough home games at this point.

LSUs D is pretty bad and their poor shot selection allowed TN to run and take advantage
 
Tuned in to the final few minutes of the UNC Duke game. Unc missed 2 FTs with a chance to nearly put Duke away (Kelly who is a 80% ft shooter). Duke makes 2 FTs. UNC turnover. Then a Duke turnover. Then a unc missed lay up. A Duke missed jumper. Not exactly an offensive thing of beauty. Going to OT.
