Feel terrible about it, but there is so little else to cheer in Columbia this week, I'll allow it.

112-32 FINAL.

I've been joking about it, but I'm starting to actually take it seriously--there needs to be a mercy rule. Scores like this are ludicrous.

Big rivalry game this week in Durham. Idaho State vs Duke. You can definitely throw out the record books when the Bengals and Blue Devils meet on the hardcourt.

I haven't bought liquor since 2004.... So any recommendations are appreciated

Champagne?

Simple solution for the lower scoring school - don't schedule games where you are that outmatched. I don't want to hear that they don't know how outmatched they are. Coaches need to be realists.

So if you set yourself up for it, you get what you expect, no?

naw.... i'll save that for national fried chicken day, or an acc tournament championship... whichever comes first.

that was a rivalry game tonight though. Im sure USC-Upstate wouldnt pass up a a chance to play on big brother's home court.

It's easy to say that, but most of these are impoverished programs taking the guarantee money. If you're a hardscrabble no-name boxer and a promoter offers you a hefty payday just to get creamed in Round 1, you can't be blamed for cashing in.

The ones who should be held accountable for making a mockery of the sport are the heavyweight programs that bribe patsies to come play the lamb for their slaughter.
 
So many snoozer games today. The seven top 25 teams in action won by 62, 80, 50, 49, 39, 25 and 35 points. Way to promote the game, guys!

The only really compelling game from a nonpartisan perspective was South Dakota's handling of Mizzou. That sets up a great matchup on Monday between South Dakota and Missouri State.

This is undoubtedly true.

I wonder how much guarantee money women's teams get? I've never seen that written on. Would be interesting to know.

South Carolina - Baylor (if we see it) may have fewer points scored than South Carolina - Maryland did.

I'm guessing it will be a matchup of the #1 and #2 FG% defenses in the country (a very coveted ranking).

Of course Baylor has been considerably better shooting team than South Carolina this year.

Some time on google dug up this piece on WBB expenses in the Big 10. Buried in the story:
Four programs – Maryland, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa – paid more than $100,000 for non-conference home games.

That was for the 2015-16 season. I don’t think it’s per game.

Actually, Rutgers is #2 in FG% defense after Baylor. SC is #5.

My Aggies fear no one.... :mad:

The Carolina Aggies are on a 7-1 run, taking a 3-point lead in late 3Q and forcing a Miami timeout.

Can we start to get excited yet?
 
While @triaddukefan is conspicuously quiet, his Aggies of Greensboro have taken a 9-point lead over Miami with 6:00 to play.

I'm following along... just trying not to jinx my squad

Ha I had started to write "conspicuously quiet for fear of jinxing," but then I took that out so as not to jinx them!

Bummer that this game isn't being broadcast or streamed anywhere.

NC A&T up 67-61 over Miami with 1:19 left

Miami just cut it to 3 with 0:59 left. NCAT has been putting Miami on the line and just had a player foul out. Trying to hang on for dear life.

And Aggies just turned the ball over. Miami calls timeout, has possession down 3 with 0:29 to play.
 
Dag Dag Dag... thought we had that one :(:(

Sad face for the A&T Aggies. They led 60-49 with less than 5:00 to play, and, judging from the play-by-play, just lost their composure. Miami outscored them 19-7 in the last 4:40. A&T committed 3 turnovers and 3 fouls in the last 1:20 of the game. Not the way to close out a game.

No. Absolutely not. But yes, there are always a couple of schools, I use an uncomplimentary name for them (it is also a name for ladies of the night), that play 4 or more major conference teams, presumably for the money since they have no hope of winning. Prairie View and Arkansas Pine-Bluff come to mind from past seasons, I don't know who is on the list this year.
