It was a 1 point game, Nick Boyd hit a 4 point play, hit another 3 a minute later, Weatherspoon hit a minute later, and it looks like FAU avoids the upset

Tulane up 1 over FAU with 0.3 seconds to go and Tulane fouls the three-point shooter.

FAU hits two of their three free throws to win the game.

Oof.

I love Ron Hunter. Tulane isn't a tourney team, but they are so much better under Hunter.

Good analysis. Our offense hasn't faltered through injury (currently 3 on kenpom), but the defense is concerning, all the way down at 41.

If UConn is going to be a serious title contender come March, that defensive rating has to start moving toward the teens. Whether that can happen before Clingan returns is another question. But obviously the defense is where attention needs to lie. The rating was pretty high earlier in the year, so the potential is definitely there.

Dausters recent podcast laid out defensive numbers pre/post clingan injury.
We were somewhere near the top 10 with DC (despite him being on min limits, and despite not having castle).
But we are 120+ without DC (maybe he said 132?).

I think if we take the numbers after he comes back, with he and castle in the lineup at full strength, we will be comfortably in the top 10 in both.

UCLA down 30 to....Utah

I've been watching this game and holy crap, UCLA is so bad. It's like I'm taking those shots. Clank, Clank, airball, Clank, Clank. It's ridiculous for a top D1 program.

Why does UCLA hate the rims so much? What have they done to UCLA that they want to hurt them so badly?

UCLA down 50 with 3 min left, @kobe?
Ucla down 40 pts in the second half alone with time left!!

Evidently ucla was down by 6 early in the second half and then down by 50 with 3 min left. 50!! I never even imagined a result like that was possible. @kobe do you have someone to check on you?

Gonzaga made a run to take the lead, but they just aren't very good.

They’re a decent team but tonight they’re just ice cold from three. They’re not a great 3 point shooting team but that 2/18 is an anomaly and 100% why they’re not up a decent amount right now.

yes im disgusted with myself that i know this much about tulane's basketball program, hopefully it all exits my brain in the years to come.

Apparently everything else has so I think it's safe to believe you'll get your wish.

I like the Thursday night West Coast games. The WCC and Big West games are fun, but College basketball is going to lose something when the Pac 12 games just become random matchups.

On Bart Torvik’s site, we were 5th overall before Seton Hall. 3rd on offense, 32nd on defense

From Seton Hall on? 36th overall, 17th on offense, 130th on defense.

Keep finding ways to eek out wins without him, and get him healthy for March. Our ceiling is the highest of anyone when healthy.

They were great against Arizona, in fact both teams were great that night. I saw some of the Tulane game, and they didn’t look like the same group.
 
Gonzaga screwed that one up pretty good. I don't particularly like then so I'm good with it.
 
That was some serious two way choking by Santa Clara and Gonzaga. The team that had the ball last was going to lose.
 
Mick Cronin might be cooked in LA, I'm sure him botching Peyton Watson's freshman year did him no favors in the LA recruiting scene either

He’s been the most Successful UCLA coach in how long? 1 year is really that damning?

Other than the final 4 run in the year they barely made the tournament, Alford had similar results. Mick is also crapping the bed on the media relations /accountability side of having a season like this.

Top-four of WCC is very good.

Going into the season, I though Saint Mary’s was the best team in the conference, but it could honestly end up being any of Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara and San Francisco.

Personally, San Francisco is my favorite to watch. Jonathan Mogbo is a treat: was 6’0 as a 16 year old and is now a 6’9 225 beast.
 
Tonight, Fairfield tries to make it nine wins in a row visiting Niagara.

Interim head coach Chris Casey is my pick for MAAC Coach of the Year. The program was sputtering after Jay Young and an offseason incident led to Young’s resignation. Ended up the best for the program.
