Week 12 preview (Jan. 24-30)

UCLA fails to show up for the game and forfeits to Oregon. What a shame. Not sure what happens Sunday UCLA@Corvallis.
 
The forfeit doesn't do either team much good as it is not counted as a win or loss in NCAA tourney calculations. It does count and hurts UCLA Pac12 standing/seeding for the Pac12 tourney. Oregon loses a chance to notch a home win against a #46 NET ranking opponent.
This game is as gone as the @Northwestern cancellation and leaves Oregon with USC, OSU, Stanford, CAL and ASU (make up) at home. Facing AZ, ASU, OSU, COL, UTAH, and WSU (make up) on the road.
 
OSU led in their game vs USC < 4 minutes of the 40 minutes. Once again, OSU got many open looks and everyone on the team put up bricks (except TvO). Without TvO this was a 10+ point loss for OSU. Home court matters in a close game. OSU is now playing zone defense most of the game, and it is pretty darn good. I suspect this will be the OSU calling card rest of the season as the offense tries to catch up.

BTW, USC has some impressive talent. Their 6'4" freshman BIG is super athletic and going to be a force. I like this version of USC much better than Trak's version.
 
If UCLA doesn't have enough players to play Oregon last night, how did they confirm same day they would play Oregon State on Sunday? Injuries are a fickle thing, if they aren't healthy on Friday they just assume any injury will be healed by Sunday? And what if its not, they will have to pressure a kid to play when they aren't ready?
 
The Big South game of the year just concluded... in the battle of the Bulldogs... my NCA&T aggies rally from 16 down in the second half to beat Gardner Webb 90-88. A blocked shot at the buzzer preserved the win. The Aggies have won five straight games after an 0-3 start to the conference season.

In the battle of the Protestants.... My HPU Panthers defeat the Blue Hose of Presbyterian 57-47.
 
Texas Oklahoma more like a football game. People complaining about the DePaul team should see TX maul anything moving. Forearms flying everywhere.

For result oriented people, 40-39 OK midway through 3Q

Why isn’t anyone talking about Maddi Williams as a potential lottery pick? At 5’11” she has good size for a guard, can defend multiple positions and rebounds the ball very well. The past two years she’s become a very good 3PT shooter as well.

She is definitely under rated. Probably doesn't get as much recognition playing for OU but OU has made quite the impression this year.
 
@Plebe FWIW: TCU at #25 Kansas State (7:30p, ESPN+)
According to ESPN's schedule and what was shown during the Iowa State/Texas Tech game this afternoon, game time for tonight's KSU/TCU affair is 7:30p (ET).
 
The Mighty Camels of Campbell hadn't ost since Nov 28.... they were averaging holding opponents to 50 points a game..... they ventured down Interstate 85 to face off against USC-Upstate. In the upset of the year so far.. the Spartans exploded for 81 points and dehumped the Camels 81-60. The only other team to put that many points up on the Camels was VPI with 84. Just goes to show you that YOU CANNOT TAKE NIGHTS OFF in the Big South conference.
 
NAU on the road and refuses to defend Portland State for 3 quarters. The Jacks finish the last 8 minutes of the game on a 27-7 run and win 79-68. Jack's 7th in three per cent in the NCAA are 11 of 19 from beyond the arc and PG Regan Schenck drops a dozen dimes as the Jacks move one game over 500.

And Texas is a bad team that gets away with things that shouldn't be in basketball.
Vic sets the game back 25 years with the rough stuff from his players.
On one play Ebo ran through a player,
like she was in the WWE, and the player she ran over was called for a foul.

Saw the game and that play in particular and TX made the Depaul team look like Smurfs OU stayed composed with Williams and Robertson.

“Dehumped the camels” may be the headline of the year
