Week of 2/26 Other Games

[Tyler2Rings]

Xavier looks terrible, Gtown shooting like Creighton did with us

Entertaining game. Fanta on the call

 

[storrsroars]

Wake goes down to Tech. Huge for the Big East bubblers. Wake now only has 3 wins away from home @#92 Boston College, N-149 Towson, and @130 Georgia Tech. Major blight on their resume.

Meanwhile Pitt annihilated BC @Conte by 25. That gives Pitt an 8-5 record away from home (7-4 in true road games). Pitt is also 3-6 vs Q1 and 5-8 vs combined Q1/Q2. Wake is now 1-6 vs Q1 and a combined 6-11 vs Q1/Q2.

Neither should be in

Someone check if Sean Miller is selling his Cincinnati house

86 possessions in regulation lmao. Games are normally 60-70, quicker paced games in low to mid 70s. 86 is wild.

111 in 86 is like 83 in 65. So it's not necessarily that their offense/defense is that good or bad, it's that they play so crazy fast that both teams are just getting a ton of shots up.

The over/under in this game was like 170 and they hit 190. Kentucky overs are a money factory if the opposing team has any interest in running.

Nice math….:they hit 213

2 minutes ago, Georgetown was up 10. Now it's a 2 point game

 

[alphasigko]

Claude exploding w/32 pts so far

 

[jleves]

Something really has to be done about officiating - with 4 minutes to go Georgetown/Butler has 41 fouls called. In the Marquette/Creighton game there were a total of 19.

There's no way there is that much difference between the two games.

Not sure what the solution is, but something has to change.

 

[alphasigko]

Claude exploding w/36 pts so far

 

[REB1094]

Desmond Claude is on a 10-2 run down the stretch. Xavier up 4 with 2 and a half minutes left. Claude has 36 points

40 FTs for Xavier tonight. Didn't watch until about the last 6-7 minutes so can't say if they were good calls or not, but X is in a good spot to close out the comeback

 

[UCTitleTown]

I could definitely see Creighton making the Final Four.

I think 190 was when I checked to see if I had won the bet and there was 3 min left.

The bet was over at halftime: I had it as well.

Houston and Purdue both up 10 ish in 2nd half, so looks like we're not moving up this week.

Their offense has definitely awakened from the sleep it was in during January.

 

[auror]

New Mexico getting beat pretty good on the road. I love their talent, but they've just lost a ton of games. I don't know if they make it.

 

[gsmooth]

Gotta give Marquette a ton of credit. On the road against Creighton without Oso and the illiterate kid, and they are only down two at halftime.

I just saw the highlights. Marquette put up a valiant effort missing arguably there two best players.
Why are you calling Kolek the illiterate kid? I am genuinely asking.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Same. Any of their top-four can carry the team as they’ve gotten a new extra year with Ashworth playing more consistently. Balanced O and D too.

Boneyard curse almost worked.

Someone said it once and everyone just ran with it. Just one of those random viral meme heckles. There's no basis of truth. I think it started because Marquette posted their guys with 3.5 GPAs and it was everyone on the team except Kolek.

 

[ToolzieFan]

Houston escapes Oklahoma with a victory thanks to Jamal Shear’s last-second follow-up to his own miss. Even Oklahoma’s mascot was shocked.

 

[Dibbie]

Houston wins on last second put back by Shead. Number 0 couldn’t pick up loose ball, giving Shead the gift free ball

This about covers it

See spot run

Edit: it won’t let me link it

It’s hilarious that the Marquette compliance officer fell for it.

That shot of the mascot was amazing comedy.

I know Stevie Mitchell has a 4.0 and Oso Iguadharo is like Okafor and graduated in 3 years and is already working on his MBA in his 4th year at Marquette.

 

[NowInStorrs]

BYU was down 17 at the half to TCU but they're now up 10 with 3:30 left.

 

[auror]

Virginia has scored less than 50 points in 4 of their last 5 games.

Houston is going to finish the regular season #1.

I did try.
