Week of 1/29 Other games

[UConnSwag11]

Lots of wins against NY state D3 teams.

Not as of late

Not in their Top 25 (or 58) All-Time Players.

Must be a whole lot of voters who've either forgotten him or only link him to the point-shaving scandal (of which he was acquitted). Ernie is still #6 in career FGs made and in top 15 for career points. Ridiculous he's not in top 20 and absurd he's not in top 58.

 

[How Sway?!]

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

I guess you're right that the point is that they have no depth. I'm just surprised that their bench is that bad that he has to play at all. Isn't someone else at guard on their bench better? At UConn he'd be glued to the bench.

Two things contributed to it. 1. Arterio Morris transferred from Texas and was dismissed before playing a game. He would have been a starter playing 20+ minutes. 2. When they went after Hunter Dickinson, the backup 5 and 4 from the prior class (freshmen now sophomores) transferred out. Then Bobby Pettiford Jr. transferred, as did guards MJ Rice and Kyle Cuffe. The entire 2021-22 classes are gone except KJ Adams.

They returned 4 total players from 2022-23. So if you do that and (a) your 5 star guard is just ok, not great and (b) your capable transfer SG from UT is scum and you kick him off the team and (c) your supposedly good transfer SG from Townson stinks, you have problems. I predicted they would in pre-season, thought the #1 ranking was nuts.

They've been lucky that Furphy is better than anybody expected, and McDowell is looking ok.

 

[Palatine]

The top two are from Bridgeport and Hartford.

There's no chance this Xavier game ends by 5:30.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

It is like the Big East teams are deliberately creating game outcomes to minimize the number of bids for the conference. Xavier basically has no chance of an at large unless they win 13 games in conference, which is an uphill battle.

Does it matter that Cincinnati and Storrs are both in the eastern time zone?

FS2, here we come.

 

[87Xfer]

You do have to feel a bit sorry for them.

There are few things as dreary and depressing as Syracuse in late January. When observing their basketball program, their location is now the bright spot.

Summer is definitely the best weekend in Syracuse.

Laphonso Ellis is one of the best color commentators in college basketball.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Bonus and Double Bonus with 8 min to play?

[HuskyHawk]

FS2, here we come.

Just tuned in. Assumed 66-62 meant it was about over…7+ minutes left? This is insane.

 

[DisabledVet]

FS2, here we come.

Foul Fest! Destined for overtime.

 

[husky8273]

with 3 minutes left, Purdue has shot 26 FT to N'western's 2.

 

[JohnnyJr]

Purdue doesn’t look that impressive their whole offense is dump to edey then wait for the double

 

[crazyUCfan23]

with 3 minutes left, Purdue has shot 26 FT to N'western's 2.

that is absolutley absurd

 

[storrsroars]

with 3 minutes left, Purdue has shot 26 FT to N'western's 2.

You'd think with that disparity Purdue would have this in the bag instead of being tied at home with 1:30 left.

 

[Bomber36]

Fans look good though…

 

[Revrat]

Northwestern is gonna blow it but they played a good game. Good guard play will always give Purdue problems which is why they will lose early in the tourney

 

[Bomber36]

Finally some FTs for NW.

 

[UCOnions]

UNLESS............

 

[Chin Diesel]

7:45 it is.

 

[Bomber36]

8:45 tip for the only game that matters.

 

[his dudeness]

Sean Miller needs to get Abou Ousmane under control before he kills someone!

 

[husky8273]

with 3 minutes left, Purdue has shot 26 FT to N'western's 2.

33-5 at the end of 4Q.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Purdue and Northwestern going to OT.

Northwestern had a clean look for the win.

 

[alphasigko]

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