Week 10 - Jan 6 to 12

Is it just me or are most conferences just skipping right ahead to stratification in the standings without wasting any time, more so than normal? ACC has 6 teams w/ 0 or 1 win after 5 games and pretty much mirrored at the top. Big 10 has 5 teams w/ a combined 1 win at the bottom and again similar stacking at the top. It might change but it just seems like the haves and have nots are getting sorted out very quickly. Maybe what's unusual is that I'm not seeing bell shaped distributions, it's more like evenly split into thirds.



The Ivy League doesn't count because they've only managed to get 2 league games apiece in so far.

UNLV ran away from New Mexico in the 4th quarter. Like I said a week ago or so, they own the Mountain West until someone proves otherwise.

Their only bad loss was to Northwestern because they had a horrendous 3 pt shooting night, 3-17 17.6% shooting. Their season average on the 3 pt shot is 35%.

I'm gonna continue scratching my head how Northwestern managed to beat UNLV and Utah. They have been absolutely awful in conference play.
 
Noticed Hildalgo wasn't listed in the boxscore for Notre Dame's game against Clemson. Does anyone have any insight as to why (e.g. Illness)?

I believe it was that she had an ankle injury.

One of the most puzzling box scores this season
 
USC is cruising...but how is it possible Iriafen and Marshall have 3 combined rebounds nearing the end of the 3rd quarter? That is mind boggling. JuJu has 10. Watkins also has a 30 piece on 11-12 shooting. Not bad, not bad. 5 steals for good measure.
 
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?!

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.

Yesterdays broadcast said Stanford was flying East on Tuesday and then I guess back on Sunday.

If it were me i would send the western teams on the road for the first week of January for 3 games in a week. A little bit of a grind but with no classes, fairly easy to manage. Then they’d need only 2 more trips.
