Cyclones going category 5 against Houston. Up 14-3 coming out of the under 12. Hope they finish the job so we have a shot to pass UH in the polls.

Obviously, we all know April is more important, but I doubt I’m the only one who really really really wants to see UConn with a “1” next to its name in the polls again.

At the half: Hall 39-31.

Georgetown 7-9 from two, 3-19 from three.

Another night of 17,000 empty seats at the loneliest arena east of Chicago.
 
Houston learning that it’s harder to win games when you play real teams. Down 23-19 with 3 minutes left in the first half and just picked up a flagrant foul

Half ended 31-21. Houston fouls a lot, even more than ISU. Refs are actually letting them play quite a lot.
 
Gonna post this here too since it seems relevant.

We’d foul out by the second half if we defended like Houston.

Addae Wusu had the most disgusting flop I’ve seen all year to draw a cheap offensive foul, and Seton Hall hit a go ahead shot the next time down

Up 1 with 1:46 left!

Ya boy with the and1
 
Gtown with 4 straight turnovers after holding a 3 pt lead with the ball and under 3 minutes to go. Definition of a meltdown.

Richmond is too much off the dribble

Obviously no complaints with the last 3 years but he would have been very entertaining here. Hurley runs pretty much the opposite of iso ball tho so...

I dont understand why SH bothers running all the DHO and weave actions when all they do at the end is watch Richmond go iso. Don't get me wrong, it seems to work fine, but why bother with all the window dressing ?
 
Good job by SH to recover after it looked like they were gonna smoke this one away
 
Seton Hall really locked down defensively at the end. 4-1 in BE play lol

Not with these refs, they let a pretty blatant Flagrant 2 go unreviewed.

No depth on this team, even less experience. Insane to think how deep a ditch Ewing and Company left for this program to dig out of.
 
Disu gets player of the game for dropping 33, but Abmas hits the game winner for Texas on the road against Cincinnati. Cincinnati has looked good in their first two B12 games but I’m all here for Texas racking up wins

ISU freshman hits a double teamed turnaround fadeaway jumper with 30 seconds left in what ends up being the game winner. Down goes #2 Houston, welcome to the P5!

Example Z of the B12 being overrated. Houston, whose best win is a bubble Dayton, loses to the first real team they play Iowa State, and now Iowa State rises up the ranks for beating Houston.

Same thing with BYU, whose best win is San Diego State at home, losing to Cincinnati, causing Cincinnati to rise up the ranks because they beat a top ranked BYU.

Texas just knocked off Cincy at the buzzer. Paging @kobe for a wellness

Cincy will end the season w 10 losses minimum. This ain’t Stetson and Merrimack any more boys!! But hey, kobe can still root for Kansas and Baylor in the tourney
 
There is something impressive about getting a road win. Something special if it is also against a ranked opponent. In the end, however, winning 6 on a neutral court is all that matters.
 
Not surprising that Houston playing their first decent opponent and being on the road takes the L. They have a very nice team, but when you take their name off of the front of the jersey, they look no different than a lot of good/very good teams. No one aspect of what they showed tonight would I consider elite. They looked like a team that if the shots don't fall lose to many teams in the sweet sixteen.
