Week of 2/5 Other Games

Brutal final 30 seconds for Timberlake. Turns it over, leaves his man wide open for a three, and misses the one and one. He's very lucky Baylor missed both of them.
Leaving his man wide open for a three with Baylor down three, less than 15 seconds to go, and the player you're guarding is a 41% 3-point shooter is just the lowest of IQ plays. He's very fortunate.
 
Four victories notched by the team less associated with non-stop physical contact Big East basketball today.

Does that favor Villanova tomorrow, or is Kyle Neptune the X favor for Seton Hall?

Biggest story: DePaul will make it through the weekend without a loss.
 
oops, Timberlake chucks it out of bounds w 13 sec left
Watching it live, I thought to myself that he must have had the Baylor moneyline. Just a complete meltdown.
 
Yikes, Indiana can’t hit the broadside of a barn today. Plenty of open looks and just brick after brick.

Watching the Purdue game and they are having technical issues so there is were no announcers for a few minutes, only crowd and court noise, it was incredible - have always wanted to be able to hack the sound to watch like that

And then they ruined it by piping in audio from the studio with Donny Marshall….
 
Don't look now but Tennessee is in a bit of trouble.
 
Over the past week the tally now runs all teams (aside from ISU and South Carolina at 13/14) 10-24 picked up a loss, so far. In addition 3 and 4 each took one. 25 in a dogfight now. And 6 getting crushed.
 
These games are insane. Auburn blown out, TN smokes a few good teams then blown out by average teams… NO ONE is any good.

Also, 2 of the worst beats of all time today gambling between KU -3.5 and Timberlake bricks the FT (they were up 12, they left their PG who couldn’t walk in to play D on a game tying possession) then had Illinois +6.5 and dude missed an uncontested meaningless layup with 2 seconds left down 8. They were up 8 with 6 mins left.

Can’t make it up, every team is awful but UConn!

The Mich St victory over Illinois means it’s about time to kick off the annual late season Izzo fawnfest by every college basketball pundit and their brother. If you decide to take a shot every time a talking head says “Izzo has his team coming together at the right time” just be sure to make arrangements for getting to the hospital in advance.
 
Was there some type of delay in this Tenn vs A&M game? Tuned in to watch Zona vs Colorado and this Tenn game is running over 30 minutes later than the expected end time.

Edey knocks down his first three .....and when opposing team misses two consecutive free throws it's free chicken sandwiches for every student ticket holder.
Good night in West Lafayette

Colorado's talent better than their record, they got multiple NBA guys in their starting 5, they should be better
 
Colorado doesn't have enough impact size at the 5 and their guards aren't quick enough to slow down Boswell, Love and Bradley. It's a total mismatch. They are getting schredded like they did at the McKale Center.
 
Arizona coming off a 3OT game 2 days ago travel up to Colorado (Colorado stayed home) 5k feet up in elevation (the reason Colorado has a top 5 home court advantage as measured by KenPom) in a huge home game for bubble Colorado on a Saturday night and they win by 20 and put up almost 100 points. Extremely impressive. 5 guys for Arizona between 14 and 19 points.

Probably time for Calipari to expand the playbook

Hmm it’s almost like they have a coach who doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing and just prays his embarrassment of talent riches pulls him through

Oh wait we’ve said this his entire tenure
 
Nova is heating up and pulling away from Seton Hall. Up 15 at halftime

If they win, it's looking like a 2 team race for the top of the BE with those 2 teams playing a top 5 matchup next weekend
 
The way the middle of the pack BE teams are completely balancing out it may be tough to get five teams in the tourney. This is a big game for Seton Hall at 8-4 in conference 9-4 in the BE starts to get you in lock position. With a loss the start to get closer to bubble. If season ended today UConn, Marquette, Creighton, Seton Hall and Butler. After that it is kind of dicey for the other teams. I think 12-8 conference record has you in for most of the teams left and 11-9 may be iffy.
 
Seton Hall costing me some money today. Their defense was extremely porous. Nova shot 47% from 3 and 8/11 from 2 plus perfect at the FT line.
 
Auburn is #7 in NET yet has only TWO top 50 NET wins, one of which is #47 Texas A&M.
So they are missing something in the data. Or they are really good when the win and not that bad when they lose but they have fooled me a few times this year. That inconsistency is what makes them intriguing. But to your point #7 kind of shows that the data or algorithm is flawed to some degree.
