Just saw the weather forecast for the weekend. Hopefully they are wrong or conditions change. If they are correct, there will be a ton of postponed games Saturday and Sunday across the South and East Coast.

At 6 in the morning? Let's not be ridiculous

Correct me if I'm wrong but I read somewhere that Naz Hillmon's mother played at Vanderbilt when she was in college. This game must have been an interesting one from a bragging rights perspective.

Yep. You are correct. Naz's mom did play for Vandy back in the day. As for bragging rights. Oh, I am sure there had to be some bragging going on at some point.
 
Looks like Jada Williams said "enough of this." She's on the verge of a 40 piece and Iowa St. is gonna break their losing streak.

edit--she's still playing late in the game in a 20 point blowout, she's up to 44 points and 8 assists

I think South Dakota St. is a bit mad after losing their last game. Hammering North Dakota 74-31 near the end of Q3.

edit-99-47 final

Wisconsin about to knock off Nebraska, will improve to 5-4 in the B1G. Going under the radar, but big improvement for them with the new coach. With several quality wins in conference, not looking like a flash in the pan.

edit--63-60 final; Nebraska falls to 3-5 and the schedule doesn't exactly get easy at any point, Northwestern and Rutgers are the only 2 games that seem like almost locks for a W

Nebraska has 0 quad 1 wins
 
WV with a 19-6 fourth quarter to beat ASU.

Texas Tech trailing BYU in the 3rd. 2nd straight loss coming?
 
I thought Oregon was having a decent season...but they just fell to 2-6 in conference. Looking up at some teams they probably didn't expect to be ahead of them in the standings. 4 straight Ls. They get Penn St. and Rutgers next, but after that a tougher stretch w/ Maryland, Illinois and Ohio St. Then some winnable games again at the end, Nebraska, Washington X2, Indiana and Purdue.

edit--loss tonight was to Minnesota, who got a split on the NW road swing

Speaking of Washington, they messed around for a while tonight before getting serious. Jumped out to a double digit lead early. Did the all too familiar 2nd quarter melt down, gave up a big run, went into the half only up 1. At home. Against winless in conference Penn St. I just don't know what is up with this team. They seem incapable of staying focused. They did pull away at some point in the 2nd half for a comfortable win, but it should've never been close at any point in the game.
 
On a star studded UCLA team, the last 2 games Jaquez has scored a combined 47 points on 20-24 FG shooting, 5-6 behind the arc. That's pretty good, right?


It was a foregone conclusion they would beat Purdue easily. 96-48 seems about right. I never look at betting lines, but pretty sure they covered the spread on this one.

Didn’t watch the game live. No longer trust the team. Need to win 50-50 games at home. But you can’t do that shooting 32% from the field. Etute led in points, rebounds, and assists but even she shot poorly 4-13. Will watch the replay today but…Unfortunate loss.

Wisconsin is defending home court well with wins over Michigan State, Oregon, and Nebraska. The remaining schedule looks a bit problematic however.

Allow me to get ahead of myself a bit. I see Fairfield and Quinnipiac both won today to improve to 9-0 in the MAAC. Had me wondering when they will meet. We have to wait until Jan. 29th when Fairfield will host the big showdown. And then the return game 2/14.
Expand ...
There's no other conference with such a discrepancy between the quality of the top 2 teams... and the rest of the conference. In NET rankings you have #49 Fairfield, #82 Quinnipiac, then.... #251 Merrimack and on down. It's a shame, because there are schools like Marist, Siena (NIL), Iona, and Sacred Heart that should be able to put together more competitive programs.

To be fair, the conference did get raided by the transfer portal with 5/10 1st and 2nd team players: Raviv (Miami), Seppala (Tulsa), Pryor (Texas A&M), Janneh (Texas A&M) and Lee (Clemson), along with 2/6 of rookie team: Traore (Robert Morris) and Bartholomew (Pacific). Still, things shouldn't be so dire.

Topic for another thread, but I do hope the NCAA gets some rules in place to at least stem the tide.

Fairfield and Quinnipiac should both roll into that game 11-0. Stags play #359 and #358, this weekend. Q has it a little tougher, but shouldn't have any problems doing the same.

Will be a fun game on ESPNU. 1/29. Best 2 teams. Best arena.

Something about Sun Belt Conference and games postponed due to inclement weather doesn't quite jive. Does Sun Belt mean something different then I think it means?

They're predicting significant ice as far south as Mexico. Ice in Houston. Yeah, that's weird. As of yesterday, the prediction for the DC area was 0-18" of snow. They do seem to be converging on about 8-14 this morning.

I'm pissed; it was supposed to be a warm January-February. La Nina isn't doing her job. I didn't move south of the Mason-Dixon line for this.

Looking out my hotel window in Arlington VA -- no snow anywhere, not here, not across the Potomac. None. There is a chance of snow Saturday evening, according to the local weather forecasts today.

Nice day outside in DC. But it's coming Sat nite. 7-12 inches, which is the equivalent of about 18-30 inches in CT.
 
Classic formula for Southern snow storm. Heavy moisture coming from the Gulf and a high from the Great Plains crashing into it I’m the more northern areas of SC, Georgia and Bama Sleety mix in the middle of those states

Don’t be surprised if Vandy doesn’t make it to Columbiaa for the SCar game Sunday

I hope you don't get the ice. They're predicting up to 1.25", but of course it's hard to say where. An inch will bring down a LOT of power lines.

May depend on if they move up their flight to Fri nite. Even early Sat should only be light snow.

It's an ESPN game so extra incentive for Vandy to make the travel adjustments.
