Week of 1/29 Other games

[superjohn]

Kansas now smoking Houston by 20

Nick Timberlake 0 points

He came in first half for 5 seconds and chucked the ball into the crowd.

 

[brihman]

Houston is still going to be number 1 on KenPom by a lot while we just nudge up. I don’t get it.

 

[UConNick]

Don’t know if I’ve ever made a bet faster or with less hesitation than Kansas +100 ML

I’ve always loved their “rock chalk, Jayhawk, KU” chant at the end of a game. It’s such a mystical serenade.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

It's about time Houston got exposed. Currently, Kansas is up by 19 with 17:00 to play.

I don’t know about exposed. I’d put $$ on Houston handling them in the rematch. Just one of those nights, KU played great and put it on them.

 

[BigTenFan]

Looking at the KU v Houston boxscore
Houston heaved 29 three point shots- that is a crazy stat

 

[UConnRock]

Yes, some crazy stats. KU with 18 turnovers and Houston with 3

 

[gsmooth]

Yes, 7' of talent in a big body.

He is ripe for the picking for a high major team, especially if he voluntarily goes to the transfer portal.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Nice win by Kansas.
Definitely pulling for UNC.

 

[Rocktheworld]

If Carolina wins the committee will care more than us beating them

If Puke wins they’ll treat it better than our win over UNC

Given we are competing with these two teams for a protected seed (respectively fairly and unfairly) I just hope a sinkhole opens up

 

[REB1094]

George Mason intentionally fouled Rahsool Diggins with 1 second left in a tie game (???)

Game winning FT for Sool

 

[HuskyHawk]

Don’t know if I’ve ever made a bet faster or with less hesitation than Kansas +100 ML

I’ve always loved their “rock chalk, Jayhawk, KU” chant at the end of a game. It’s such a mystical serenade.

It’s actually what they do before the game starts.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

I haven’t watched Tennessee much but how do they have 5 losses? Team looks like a bunch of grown men. Kentucky trying to hang in but Tennessee is impressive. Definitely not a potential #2 I want to see in our bracket.

 

[caw]

UK is a dangerous offensive team but they are making Tennessee look competent offensively. That is how bad their defense is.

 

[superjohn]

The fruit from Canada getting absolutely destroyed by Wake Forest.

 

[superjohn]

The fruit from Canada losing 94-61 to Wake with 4 minutes left. Lolz

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The fruit from Canada losing 94-61 to Wake with 4 minutes left. Lolz

So do Cuse fans still believe they're on the bubble or are they now first four out?

 

[uconngb]

The fruit from Canada losing 94-61 to Wake with 4 minutes left. Lolz

You hate to see it

 

[mike012]

They are now considered only last 4 in. Close but tough loss.

 

[superjohn]

They are now considered only last 4 in. Close but tough loss.

Last 4 in for what? The NIT or CBI?

 

[How Sway?!]

George Mason intentionally fouled Rahsool Diggins with 1 second left in a tie game (???)

Game winning FT for Sool

This is what I hate about sports betting. The focus is not on the fact that the foul cost George Mason the game, but that it robbed UMass the chance to cover.

 

[alphasigko]

Ktky does not know how to play defense either

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

They are now considered only last 4 in. Close but tough loss.

Last four in what? They’re a long winning streak away from being a long winning streak away from being on the bubble.

 

[auror]

I haven’t watched Tennessee much but how do they have 5 losses? Team looks like a bunch of grown men. Kentucky trying to hang in but Tennessee is impressive. Definitely not a potential #2 I want to see in our bracket.

They were in Maui and hit a brutal schedule stretch where they played Purdue and Kansas on neutral courts and then at North Carolina in a 3-game stretch. Lost all 3 by single digits looking pretty good. And then they picked up a couple close losses in SEC play (one to our old NMSU friend Chris Jans at Miss St).

 

[Karmacop]

Man, Kentucky plays zero defense.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Kentucky’s defensive discipline is a couple of steps ahead of Wednesday night pickup at the Y.

 

[navery12]

 

[runner11]

Last four in what? They’re a long winning streak away from being a long winning streak away from being on the bubble.

I think he was being sarcastic. Cuse fans had been optimistic about getting onto the bubble up until this week.

 

[Tuna]

Too bad we couldn’t have one of our super bowl, early season msg games with cuse this year. I don’t think there could be a worse matchup for them. 80-40 would be a good result for them.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Man, Kentucky plays zero defense.

Kentucky doesn’t seem to know what they are doing. Tons of talent but that’s about it. I think we are way more physical and bigger than Kentucky and would hammer them. Tennessee would worry me a bit.

 

[alphasigko]

Tenn plays a decent game
