Why is the Midwest game at 6:30 and the East Coast game at 8:30, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Cincinnati and Indianapolis are both in the Eastern Time Zone so does it matter? Lol

Does anyone in America have 2 better losses than we do?

Seton Hall is making a statement. Very impressive. Pitino wasn’t saving St John’s tonight
 
It will be interesting to watch Seton Hall in the 2nd half of the season. They get Creighton at home on Saturday, but from then on they have road games against Marquette, Villanova, St. Johns, Creighton, and UConn. They deserve a ton of credit for how well they have played, but they will have to navigate the heavyweights on the road after their game on Saturday. Will be quite interesting to see how they fare.

They’ll be in the middle of the pack within a few weeks.

Villanova is no longer a heavyweight.

True, but playing them in Philly will be no easy task. Nova is physical enough to bang with Seton Hall. The will be outcoached for sure, but can give Seton Hall some issues.

They have struggled on the road. Beat Providence tight on the night Hopkins got hurt (likely would have lost if he played the full game), beat Butler tight, and got blown out by Xavier. Playing some of the tougher teams on the road who no doubt will be fired up to play them, will certainly be interesting.

I don’t think they’ll win the conference. But top 4 is definitely in the picture
 
Well at least we can be sure that Seton Hall loss is going to stay Q1. Might end up Q1A.

Agreed. While it's still a bad loss for a team of UConn's caliber, the loss doesn't look as awful as it did based on how well Seton Hall has played. What works in their favor is that they are one of the 10 oldest teams in CBB. That experience and maturity has really helped them this season. Will be a big roster turnover next year for them, but they certainly are enjoying the season so far.
 
I said it last other games thread, but warrants another stamp: New Mexico is a fun team to root for. Jamal Mashburn's son, Eddie House's son, coached by little pitino. Add in a possible conference freshman of the year, JT Toppin, impact transfer (jr Joseph) from where - Iona. They are up by 13 early on Utah. Could be second straight top 25 win.

If you've never been to the Pit, it's an environment.

Didn't even mention Donovan Dent, who maaaay be their best player. (But probably not because Jaelen House is really good).
 
Truly horrendous from Arkansas here.

Arkansas was up 10 with 3:43 left at home. Texas A&M had a shot to win it... in regulation. And only needed a 2 to win it.

And yes, I bet on their moneyline and I was going insane.

LMAO. What an insane, stupid game. Look up the highlights.

How is Seton Hall not in the top 25 yet? They're seriously good. Look what they did to us.

The problem is they didn’t hit this gear until BE play started. They really blew their opportunities in non-conference:
Loss - USC (Away, NET 87) 71-63
Loss - Iowa (Neutral, NET 48) 85-72
Loss - Baylor (Away, NET 12) 78-70
Loss - Rutgers (Home, NET 93) 70-63
Win - Missouri (Away, NET 119) 93-87

What do you think fellas? Seton Hall is turning out to be quite good and a pain in the ass. They want to force the opponent to play in the mud and dirt

That Holloway mic'd up pice on fox's bigeast report was interesting.... "We want the game played in mud"...

They play big East muck it up ball.
 
I’m still dying on the hill that Seton Hall is not a good team, and for the most part they’re benefiting from playing ugly basketball in a conference that rewards ugly basketball

That said…it’s getting harder and harder to stay on that hill. They looked really good yesterday

Obviously, losing to Rutgers is a bad loss, in any year. In history.

The most amazing stats for Seton Hall’s season is that Dawes and Davis are both shooting worse from 3 point range than last year, and Richmond is barely hitting the rim from 3 (17.9%), and they are still so much better this year.

Bediako and Wusu are both great pickups and Coleman is a solid frosh who also can’t shoot from 3.

I am also expecting a reversion to the mean by the Hall this season. Holloway is winning with mirrors.
 
Anyone else watch the Samford at Western Carolina game on CBSSN?

Samford was leading almost the entire game, but still a lot of fun.

WCU did a nice job controlling the pace, as Samford's 75 points was their lowest total since their second game of the season, but senior big Achor Achor had a career game: 35 points (5-9 from 3), 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Samford is a blast to watch: pace, threes and an aggressive defense. They play 11 or 12 each game. #BuckyBall

First time watching WCU's Vonterius Woolbright this season. The 6'6 215 fifth-year returnee is second in the nation in usage rate and fifth in defensive rebounding: 20.7p, 12.4r, 5.3a. He's the type of guy who could become one of those March Madness stars, should WCU win the SoCon.

WCU crowd was electric too.

The SoCon isn't as strong as years' past, but Samford and WCU are two of the best teams in the conference, along with UNC Greensboro. The rematch is on Valentine's Day.

Wait til you see how I lost Baylor +3.5 …

Oof yeah the OT 4-point play by Arthur Kaluma of all people. plus garbage FTs.

. Here's the highlights of the Arkansas game (start at 7:05 or so). The mix misses a few bonehead fouls and FT misses, but has the biggest things, like giving up a free layup when up 2, the 2 insane off balance Taylor 3s, and Mark's winner.

The guy driving that you reference is clearly not Tristen Newton

Actually, no. I include Newton. Unlike most of you conspiracy theory idiots, I do not believe there is some kind of official's vendetta against UConn basketball and Dan Hurley. I believe the officials are just bad all around - for every team. For every opponent who drives out of control to the hoop and gets fouled there are basically equal as many times where nothing is called. Just like Newton - he does get to the line believe it or not. And I will guarantee if you hang out on every other Big East message board, they are saying the exact same thing about their stars who drive to the basket and get hit EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Just stop calling it unless the foul is so blatant, nobody would question it. Guys will stop doing it and teams will be forced to run an actual offense.
