Who would've guessed the battle of the cellar dwellers in the Big East, Xavier and Butler both coming in at 0-7, would turn into a 30 point beat down? X going out of their way to prove they are the worst team in the conference. Of course overall records are quite different, Butler has 8 wins and Xavier only 1.

Xavier women and DePaul men are

Okay, Chicago St. has worst team in D1 locked down, who's next worse? Without looking at everybody's records, 1 win teams Xavier and Seattle U. have to be in the conversation.

Xavier is awful but there are many dozens of teams below them in both NET and Massey. Seattle is worse than Xavier but not in the bottom 10.

Chicago State is last in Massey, but in NET they are ahead of Stonehill, McNeese and Alabama State.

I guess I have a hard time differentiating between different degrees of awful.

Kansas beat Iowa St. by 2. Big 12 is looking kinda wacky. Texas and Baylor fading. Kansas St. and Oklahoma are 1 and 2 in the standings at this point.
 
Crooks had 25, 10 for Brown, 2 starters were scoreless for the Cyclones.

Not entirely surprised. Xavier is terrible. Butler seemed decent against UConn -- was surprised to see them winless in conference.
 
Don't sleep on Wednesdays! Not a loaded schedule but some really close and exciting games tonight.

Oklahoma for the first time all year looked like a Jennie Baranczyk–coached team. Just completely unrecognizable from the mediocre and erratic team I'd seen all season. OU got hot from 3 and that opened up the floor for them, and they stayed on the front foot all game. Texas made a late charge but OU, appropriately, splashed a huge 3 for the dagger.

Maryland looked in control almost the entire game and was up 9 with only 3:00 left. Michigan ended regulation on a 9-0 run and then won in overtime in an improbable sequence. With the score tied with 0:03 left in OT, Maryland's inbounds pass sailed out of bounds to turn the ball over. Phelia then got fouled on a drive with less than a second on a clock. Hit both FTs and that was game.

Villanova led by 15 at the half but Providence came storming back to send the game to overtime and eventually win. What's that I hear? Yes, say it with me: No. Nights. Off.

Creighton held off a feisty Georgetown team, hitting big buckets down the stretch to hold off the Hoyas by 5. (Did I remember to say "no nights off"?)

Now for my thoughts on my Coogs' performance against the Lady Raiders: [censored]

On the Nova-Providence game, I'd be curious to hear from anyone who saw this game (on the lovely fan-friendly network FloHoops). Box score shows Nova was called for 28 fouls compared to only 10 fouls for Providence. Three Nova players (including Olsen) fouled out.

Nova committed 28 fouls (3 players fouled out, 2 had 4), Providence 10 fouls. Providence scored 27 points via FTs, Nova 4.

Oops...duplicating what @Plebe just posted...

I am a little surprised at how close this game was but hats off to Georgetown and Coach Haney. They are playing some pretty competitive ball. A gritty win by Creighton.

Gotta say, I feel like more and more I’m enjoying watching all the in-conference matchups regardless of whether or not teams are ranked. Some blowouts (Ball State handed Miami (OH) a beat down tonight!) but overall it’s been entertaining.

Cinderella will be at the Ball this year. Has a mid-major ever won it all?
 
Cinci upsets Okla St, their first win against a legacy B12 team
Duquesne hands Richmond its first A10 loss
MichSt crushes Purdue to move to 14-5, 4-4 -- not bad start for first-year coach Robyn Fralick

Not to my knowledge. Perhaps prior to the start of the NCAA tourney, if that counts.
 
Wandering Lobos rolling.....

Wins over Wyoming, #25 UNLV and Fresno State tonight
 
Believe it or not, D1 newcomer Le Moyne is #1 in their conference, NEC. I’ll be at their game tomorrow night against Merrimack (and watching all the other games on my phone at the same time). They’ve already beaten Merrimack once, so I’m hoping Merrimack will show up with revenge on their minds and wanting to make it a close game!

This will be the first Le Moyne game I’ll have ever seen (in person or otherwise). Their court is basically a glorified HS gym, but at least that means I get to be close to the action. :D

Not sure that the concept of “mid-major” was as relevant back then, but Louisiana Tech won the inaugural NCAA Tournament in 1982 and again in 1988. Old Dominion won it in 1985.

The old AIAW championship was initially dominated in the 1970s by Immaculata College and Delta State, both of which are now D2 schools.
 
In A-10 action, 1st place Richmond suffered their first conference loss at the hands of Duquense 72-59.

In Big South action... High Point squandered a double digit 2nd half lead and loss at home to USC-Upstate 59-49

That's HARD work...on Maryland's part.

For context, while I still have to finish the 4th and OT quarters, I believe the ejections of Hansen and McDaniel had an impact, especially for Maryland. They got tied up during a jump ball situation and it got a tad more feisty than it needed to be. Refs made the right call in my opinion as both players could be seen swinging at each other.

Maryland's depth isn't great and McDaniel has been a key cog for the team. It may not fully explain why Maryland struggled late in the game but that's my suspicion at the moment.

Thursday is my birthday, and I am contemplating attending the NC State/Clemson game that evening; it's about an hour drive for me to Littlejohn. Weather forecast is for showers and thunderstorms...and I'm at an age now I don't feel 100% comfortable driving on wet roads, especially the poorly-maintained and poorly-lighted rural roads. Will be monitoring and will make a decision Thursday afternoon... but this is the closest I'll get to actually seeing NC State play live this season. I've attended the last two games when NC State traveled down here. I couldn't think of a better birthday present than having NC State play at a high level while I'm in attendance, and getting a road W.

The downside is...if I go, then I'll miss all of the hoopla (pardon the pun) about South Carolina's much-anticipated visit to Baton Rouge...and even if I record the game, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to go the whole evening without score updates being announced in Littlejohn.

You have to go to the GAME! For Pete's sake, this is your team that made us all cognizant of your fandom. You can still enjoy watching LSU beating the Gamecocks when you get home to see how it came about! Go to the game. Heck I drive 70 minutes to Hartford and 95 minutes to Storrs to see all their games (and that's without traffic!). Enjoy yourself and go.

It amazes me that Peacock (owned by NBCUniversal) has the rights to some B1G10 games, especially when the B1G10 Network's majority owner is Fox Sports.
But I digress. Back to the OP.

The BIG10's new TV contract is between Fox, NBC and CBS. No different than what the pro leagues have done (e.g. NFL).

Ok. I only noticed the Peacock games this season, actually in the last couple of weeks. But it could also be because I usually don't pay attention to the B1G10 games.
