Heads22 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nailed it. Big flop by the Big 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) TCU is really making things difficult for themselves. Lon Kruger simply got outcoached by Avery Johnson and his 7 different defenses he threw at Young (looked like a high school game where you have one superstar and 4 other stiffs and the entire goal to the defense is to limit the superstar to 15-20 points and force the rest of his teammates to beat you). ISU is officially done. OkState lost a close one...they had two really tough losses after upsetting OU at home last weekend. K-State, on the other hand, is looking better and better. Same with Texas. WVU has now lost 3 games in the last month where they blew 15+ point leads. Pretty inexplicable to lose at home to a struggling KY team, but UNC and Duke both lost at home for the first time on the same weekend since 1973, so anything's possible in college basketball these days (at least until Duke runs out their McDonald's All-American team next year).

His tantrums are ridiculous. Some coaches get ripped for not having tantrums. He's a bit intense, but he's a good guy. Not only that but he's like, really smart. He went to Wharton you know.

Heads22 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Iowa State basketball is a social construct. Just handled #15 West Virginia 93-77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I guess ISU has a UVA transfer for next year and a pretty strong recruiting class. The problem is the Big 12...although OU and TX will lose Young and Bamba. ISU around 105 mark in RPI, will be in 95-99 range after tonight's win...but still need to win the Big 12 unless they can finish conference just 2 games under .500 and get RPI closer to the 60's/70's range.

Oh, they will in no way make the NCAAs. Goal should be to stay above water and get into the NIT. Next year they add Shayok from UVA and should only lose one starter. Horton-Tucker should be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 College basketball well on its way to being weird today. Oklahoma State up 72-65 at Kansas with 6 minutes left St Johns up 59-50 on Duke with 10 minutes left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got a ton of talent coming in, may need some time for Conditt but the other guys are so underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 For the 1 PM weirdness #20 Clemson tied with a bad Wake team at 61 with 6 left Mizzou up over #21 Kentucky 33-28 with 16 left Minnesota up 39-38 over #24 Michigan with 15 left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Would have been real hard for mizzou to be more than a 50/50 bubble team without that win. Huge. Now if a certain guy could come back it would be great. End of games without a ball handler is torture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty typical Illinois game. For 15-20 minutes they look like the best team in the conference. Then they look like the worst. They'll lose this in some hilarious way.

Jenksismyhero Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 lol, Black called for a moving screen to foul out. It's the right call, but christ, that happens 50 times in a game without getting called. Ludicrous to call that at this juncture and for that particular player. #bigtenofficiating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Illinois can find a big man transfer, they're going to be good next year. If they don't, they're going to suck again. They have Black and then no one else. And Black isn't great.

They really let them get away with it. They got called for 23 fouls and Ohio State shot 33 free throws. There was no getting away with it. And man Stephen Bardo is a terrible announcer for Illinois.

Dick Allen Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) when is the last time Illinois played a basketball game where the officials weren't out to get them? I used to here it when watching games with my dad an UI grad and fanatic. My brother is the same way.

Maybe both fan bases and reporters think they were out to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's complaining about the officiating. I let a lot of stuff go. It's a tough game to call and there are a lot of judgment calls that can go either way. What pisses me off though is the call like that moving screen against Black. That happens probably every single trip down the floor and it's rarely called. So why did that official suddenly decide to call it at that specific moment in the game? It's just poor officiating, plain and simple.
