Looks like an elbow to face to me, not surprised it was flagrant

Guy was playing the ball. I guess just lower your head and fund elbow. Unless he had eyes in back of head he probably did not even know he contacted his hunters head

The kid is a punk. He kept trying to score on the last several possessions trying to be a hero. He got blocked, and immediately pulled the other guys jersey to get him away from the rebound . Quinerly . Is it his 4th team?

Will be lucky to play in Europe

BYU has a solid resume...for a bubble team. I didn't get the high ranking either.

Yeah they are basically a good West Coast team still. They will be exposed badly in league.

Mich State lost by dbl digits to Northwestern, since it was a road loss Seth Davis will probably argue they belong in the top 15

I really hope the game doesn’t pass Izzo by while he’s too stubborn to realize it, but after reading his rant on analytics yesterday, I’m not so sure it won’t

He has a sweet 16 last year and a F4 a few years ago to hang his hat on, but otherwise it’s been 10 years since he consistently made the 2nd weekend

I saw this and thought about @Fan1978 who I believe mentioned he is a Fairfield grad on another thread. Congrats bud. I don’t think Fairfield had a D1 win this year until they began this streak. Incredible string of games which nobody saw coming. It’s nice to see Connecticut schools getting some wins. Let’s hope it continues.

Trinity of Hfd at #8 for Div 3 isn't too bad!

your only conference win so enjoy it- insufferable
just like your vaunted football team 1-8
Cinci will be the DePaul of the Big12
No Thanks to that
Enjoy

Let's be real if any team is the DePaul of the Big 12 it's UCF.

Are you going to keep selling this?

There are points of proximity & connection akin to DFW, Twin Cities, Bay Area, but any official designation has been rejected each time it's been raised.

Are you claiming that Providence and Worcester are suburbs of Boston? Or just trying to build on an uncertain foundation and hope that nobody says anything?

Lexington Kentucky is only a little further from Cincinnati. He's shown himself to be the least knowledgeable BYer about the rest of the United States outside of the tri-state area for years now. Frequent inaccurate generalizations about most of the country.

It was even more cringe listening to it.

They don't suck. They are probably about as good as Providence was with Hopkins. 7 to 10 seed.

His whole "I can't coach the way I want to coach because kids are babies" excuse is getting tired.

Cal snapped a 19-game PAC 12 losing streak against UCLA yesterday. Rough times for our old pal Mick Cronin.

Plaschke: Disappearing Mick Cronin melts down amid another UCLA collapse

UCLA coach Mick Cronin isn't handling losing well, and he needs to take responsibility for the Bruins' issues rather than publicly blasting his players.

What's going on with UCLA? A final four and two sweet 16s the past 3 years. 2 seed last year losing a 3 point game to 3 seed gonzaga. Is it injuries? Why are they struggling this year, haven't been paying attention. I know ucla fans have a very short leash and Cronin has likely already used up all that good will from the surprise final four trip.

How much rent does Mick pay you to live in your head?

You whine about Mick on another teams board. The worse part is your not even in the same conference and your still here. Does UConn pay rent to be in your head too?

Kobe won't be up front with his Alford BS
Mick has probably the youngest starting 5 of any major conference team - thats the issue
Beware of them in March for the last PAC tournament

What’s ironic is that the analytical rating systems are all very high on Michigan State, as they’re in the top 20 in the four systems I check the most.

It is the second week of January and Michigan State’s second best win is over Butler. Maybe these analytical ratings systems could use a tuneup.

They're just not very good and have little to no veteran leadership. Their offense - such that it is - is antiquated as hell, they are absolute bricklayers from the perimeter, and the collective body language is brutal. It probably doesn't help when Cronin says they're too dumb to understand his coaching or that his starting point guard wouldn't get five minutes a game on a good team in his post-game tirades. They are an incredibly depressing watch right now. Watching them against Cal I was having PTSD to some of the bleaker moments at the end of the prior regime in Storrs.

The trolling is merely guise that he uses to connect with a program that actually does experience success.
 
Houston at Iowa State, Texas at Cincy, and BYU at Baylor tonight. Time for the Big 12 newbies to take off their training wheels.

Minimum two losses for the newbies tonight and Houston is only favored by 2.5.......that one smells odd
 
Georgetown getting slaughtered by Seton Hall. I don't know if Cooley brought in these guys but it doesn't even look like they are competitive.
 
SH has not handled the zone well at all. Turned the game around.
