Wonder how Alabama fans are taking that thrashing last night by near .500 Oklahoma….So how do you judge a team when it comes to losses? Some people say they would rather lose by 4 than 24? Not sure I agree….having many close losses can show that you can compete with anyone and you don’t takes nights off…..losing big like Alabama can mean a variety of different reasons… that either you lose mental focus during some games when you are down or don’t play hard throughout games… or can have cold shooting nights if you take a lot of threes….or just maybe you are not as good as your ranking if you are winning close games and losing big in your losses

I really dont get concerned over one blow out loss. Multiple losses in a short span is concerning. CBB is wild and on any given night some school can jump up and bite you. Im ok with that. Im not ok with poor play overseveral games leading to losses against teams you shouldnt be losing too.

Went to Iona today with the kids I coach for a heck of a comeback win! Down 17 in the first and ended up winning by eight.

Tons of fun bringing fifteen players (they got to play in the court after the game) and a bunch of parents, everyone at Iona was super helpful and friendly!

Do you remind the kids that basketball is a team sport, so they should proudly say, "Weona University" when they're on the court?

Syracuse up 4 on UVA with under 10 to go. Mintz has looked good so far (throws the ball away as I type this)

Gosh darnit, Cuse just wasn't plucky or gritty enough today.

Fall to UVA and drop to 13-10. Good call by that recruit joining Team Boeheim for his 80th birthday celebration in two years as the nose picker begins his 55th year as a coach there. Hope he can get to 60 years as coach for them.

Did anyone catch the Iowa St - Texas Tech game? ISU had a 23 point lead with 12 1/2 minutes left on the road and lost in OT. 28 personal fouls called on ISU to 15 for TTU. That one has to hurt.
