Week 10 - Jan 8 to 14

[Plebe]

Minnesota leave Ann Arbor with a huge win against Michigan 82-66. They shot over 50% from 3 pt range and were tenacious on both ends of the court. First time I've really watched the team for a full game. Really fun to watch.

You noted this elsewhere, but it was a strange game married by a severe knee injury to Elissa Brett at the end of 3Q. Michigan was up 1 at the time and Brett was co-leading her team in scoring with 14 points.

Minnesota then got red hot in 4Q and outscored Michigan 29-12.

A week ago or so I noted that Michigan had a very bizarre resume. This only adds to that.

Caitlin Clark circus rolls into sold-out Mackey Arena (Purdue) tonight. Will be tough for her high-wire (usage) act to keep winning on the road in conference play.

It seems like she is selling out almost every road arena in the Big Ten so far. At Rutgers there were more fans cheering for her than for the home team (lord knows Rutgers doesn't offer much to root for).

Did you hear that sound? I think that was me falling off of the Davidson bandwagon. Getting smoked by George Mason right now, about to be on a 2 game losing streak. And .500 in the A-10. But as @Plebe pointed out, there are no off nights...

Whoa, Chicago St. is way out in front of Kuyper. Does that actually count? What is Kuyper?

Beating up on BYU appears to be the cool new thing to do in the Big 12. Even Houston is getting in on it. Some Cougar on Cougar violence (that's at least the 2nd time for Houston this year, but they got the short end of the stick last time).

What's with all these patsy Christian schools ending up on schedules this year?

Does it matter what a Kuyper is?

Practicing being fed to the Lions?

I expect we’ll outsell her this year at home because our place is bigger but I expect Iowa to set a record for total home/road attendance.

Kansas making things interesting tonight

Ha well it does if you're a Calvinist!

Abraham Kuyper, Prime Minister of the Netherlands in the early 20th century and a theologian associated with the Reformed Church.

Since Davidson demolished Duke and almost beat UNC, I guess now we know which is the toughest conference with “Atlantic” in its name.

Kansas up 61-45 on Baylor at end of 3Q

 

[nwhoopfan]

Huge comeback for Iowa St. They were down as much as 19 to West Virginia, now up 4, under a minute left.

edit--27-9 in Q4, Cyclones win by 10

Kansas up 61-45 on Baylor at end of 3Q

No folks. That’s not K-State

 

[BRS24]

Texas only up 5 over TCU 53-48 at end of 3rd

 

[nwhoopfan]

What a strange year. Kansas has been doing nothing, then blows out Baylor out of nowhere.

 

[Plebe]

Hilton Magic is real y'all.

West Virginia led by 19 with 6:00 left in 3Q.
Iowa State then outscored them 38-9 to win by 10.

come on now

 

[Plebe]

Clark with her 15th career triple-double (26-10-10). Mackey Arena was packed and boisterous.

Wild play near the end of the 1st half. Clark, holding the ball for the final shot, anticipated the intentional foul from her defender and jacked up a 40 foot shot that somehow went in, but was then, uh, dismayed at the ref's judgment that this was a non-shooting foul.

amazing shot (heave?). terrible call

 

[visitingcock]

Purdue with 14,886 in attendance to witness the CC show. Iowa is going to smash the total attendance records ( not home attendance) this year.

Big Ten fans are into this. Gonna have monster tv viewers too. Huge benefits to the conference IMHO
