Week of 2/5 Other Games

Did the AAC move/prioritizing football kill Temple basketball?

Arizona-Utah a pretty entertaining one. Utah has cut a 17 point lead down to one by hitting their first 7 threes of the second half.

OT. Utah hit a tough transition 3 to tie. Arizona missed a buzzer beater.

Utah looks like they have a puncher’s chance against anyone. A lot of 6-7 to 7-0 guys who can shoot and are hard to match up with. Saw a little of them blowing out UCLA. Not sure I’d want to see them in our second round game (but I won’t want to see anyone by nature. I’d prefer a bye).

Triple OT. Caleb Love went for the hero logo three to win it at the end of the second.

This has been an entertaining game. Felt like Love could have gotten a better look than that but he's got range and I assume he's dead tired.

what's this game on?

edit: looks like I don't get Pac-12 network

FAU @ UAB is pretty good. If either of these teams played in the Big East, they'd get better competition and you'd figure while their records wouldn't be as strong, you wouldn't want to play either team as a 5 or 6 seed.

I love mid-major basketball.

That video's like the reverse of court-storming.

Gaffney has knocked down some big 3s to keep FAU in. He’s much less tentative than he was here.

Their big man keeps landing on his butt. Davis for UAB reminded me of Moses Malone just taking over the space with his hips.

 

[EnochRoot]

This game is nuts. UAB up 6 in OT with 31.1 left.

 

[EnochRoot]

76-73 13.2 sec left.

Still makes way too many bad decisions for a senior

 

[SoFla Steve]

I love mid-major basketball.

So who has the country's longest winning streak now?!

[auror]

They are 32nd in WAB and 28th in KenPom, so yeah pretty correct. Nothing about their profile is top 25.

 

[connVA]

Not sure if there’s ever been a team that can literally beat or lose to anyone on any given night the way that these guys can. Coach needs to watch how Dan Hurley motivates his boys to stay hungry against the abysmal competition coming up in the next two games.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Kentucky is ranked, and they can't play defense, at all.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Baylor @ Kansas is pretty big tomorrow. Hawks have been up and down. ESPN Gameday will be in Lawrence.

Gonzaga needs to beat Kentucky or they may be out.

Dayton and SDSU are ranked teams with tough matchups tonight.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

One of the easiest non-UConn games from a rooting perspective in years.

has literally nothing to do with my post at all and please tell me which teams should take their ranking

For Kentucky, right? I would like nothing more than to see Gonzaga fade away and to end any ridiculous notion of the Big East adding them.

No, we need Gonzaga to win to help our resume. We're locked in as a 1/2 seed barring a complete collapse but we need that Gonzaga win to look as good as possible to get the overall 1 seed

Not worried about our seeding. Would rather see Gonzaga removed from the elite tier of programs.
