Week of 1/29 Other games

[KingAG]

Xavier is a decent basketball team

What we did to them is insane….

 

[John]

Alleyne not getting as much court time as he did last year.

Hes been injured

 

[husky8273]

Purdue and Northwestern going to OT.

Northwestern had a clean look for the win.

42-8 FT, 29-15 fouls in NW OT loss

 

[HooperScooper]

Once again they have the Midwest BE game be the 6:30 start and the East Coast game be the 8:30 slot. Make it make sense

You know what time it is in Cincinnati? The same time that it is in Storrs. So what difference does it make if one game starts before the other?

WVU 69, Cincinnati 65

Cincinnati is the 3rd best team in the Cincinnati metro area after Dayton and Xavier.

 

[alphasigko]

Hes been injured

Did not know that Thx

@kobe is used to losing close games so he's not upset.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[John]

Did not know that Thx

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That was hilarious.

 

[Leebo]

@kobe is used to losing close games so he's not upset.

And Cincy merely becoming a B12 member meant he was now Champion of the Universe, so he doesn't really care about basketball results anyway.

 

[aceboon]

I thought Penny had finally got over the hump, wtf has happened to Memphis the past few weeks

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Penny did not get over the hump.

 

[aceboon]

I had switched off UF vs UK with UF trailing 83-79 with less than 30 secs left, I gotta see how they came back

 

[JungleLobo]

#3, #5 and #10 already have lost this week but more top 10 losses are incoming this weekend.

#2 Purdue @ #6 Wisconsin
#4 Houston @ #8 Kansas
#5 Tennessee @ #10 Kentucky
#7 Duke @ #3 North Carolina

 

[aceboon]

Cal still hasn't learned

They're so tired of Calipari, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they just swallow all that money and get rid of him.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Northwestern lost in OT in a game in which the free throw disparity was 46-8.

 

[auror]

I could be wrong but at the moment, I believe we would need a serious collapse to not land in Brooklyn, regardles of what region we would be placed in. As long as we remain in position to receive a one seed (regardless of whether it's the first or fourth) we'll allso end up on a path to Boston.

We'll need to finish ahead of UNC most likely to get Boston (doesn't matter as much for Brooklyn). They would go Boston over Dallas.

#3, #5 and #10 already have lost this week but more top 10 losses are incoming this weekend.

#2 Purdue @ #6 Wisconsin
#4 Houston @ #8 Kansas
#5 Tennessee @ #10 Kentucky
#7 Duke @ #3 North Carolina

Honestly, a loss anywhere in the top 10 isn't going to move the needle. But for us we got to be big UNC fans.

 

[ihatepants]

Northwestern lost in OT in a game in which the free throw disparity was 46-8.

Scott Van Pelt said that it was the biggest free throw disparity in a game that they could find in the last 25 years

 

[BigTenFan]

Great job coaching and getting T'd up by Collins. My son is in Paint Crew and he said Mackey was electric and I think a lot of Purdue fans have the utmost respect for Northwestern and their coach
Northwestern probably should have gotten the W
Buie was incredible

 

[Karmacop]

But for us we got to be big UNC fans.

I get your point (UNC being good helps us since we beat them), but there's also the fact that we're competing with them now for seeding.

Wouldn't we rather UNC lose another game or three along the way to clear the path for us to get a #1 seed? Them losing to Duke won't change the fact that they'll be a Q1 win for us, but it would help us gain clear light between them and us seeding-wise.

Part of the news here is that ESPN considers 1998 pre-history. Works out well for UConn when it comes to national titles.

 

[huskyharry]

Northwestern lost in OT in a game in which the free throw disparity was 46-8.

sounds like the Big Ten really, really, really wants Purdue to be a one seed

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Big game on ESPNU on Friday - Princeton at Yale.

 

[runner11]

AJ Storr was a kid we all liked last year and he is in a great game right now v Nebraska. Gotta be up there with Spencer as the most impactful transfers.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Wisci goes down

 

[Kolumbo]

Wisci goes down

Nebraska is all over the place. They could get blown out or beat the likes of Wisci and Purdue. Go figure.

 

[HooperScooper]

Why did Pitino run this kid out of St. John's? When he took over he said all the players, except Soriano, couldn't play for him. Storr looks pretty good at Wisconsin. I'd imagine St. John's would be better if they had him.

Purdue is going down on Sunday.
