Fun while it lasted, good effort cats!

Welcome to watching OSU-NW games. Always close, grind em out affairs. NW plays OSU tough for some reason. A few years ago a 2-3 zone would have been a disaster as Lighty, Buford and Diebler would have shot them out of it. This year, it was brilliant. Plus making 50+ percent of your 3's is always good.

Is Kentucky still a tournament team without Noel? They were fringe top 25 with him. They just lost by 30 at Tennessee without him. Given their overall resume resembles an 8 or 9 seed as is they will probably need to get a quality win without him to show the current team is worthy.

Not without beating Florida or perhaps Missouri. The SEC sucks this year so the number of wins isn't a good barometer. Right now, Kentucky's best win is against Maryland. @ Mississippi was a decent win only because it was on the road. But Ole Miss is a house of cards, as we've seen lately losing 4 out of 5. Ole Miss' ONLY quality win this year was at home against Missouri, who was without Bowers.

 

UK will be lucky to win 4 more regular season games, likely 3 or less.

Rivalry games are supposed to be exciting. That was a total snooze fest. Purdue never had a chance. Tuesday night will be much, much different. Whoever wins Tuesday night is certainly in the driver's seat to win the Big Ten. I'm assuming Oladipo will be fine.

 

They beat Purdue by almost a combined 70 pts this year.

Now that Iowa State won again, I can finally like basketball again.

 

 

I still have zero clue how TCU beat Kansas. Should be a fun ending to the year with the top 6 teams all within two games of each other after tonight. The top two teams have yet to go to Ames yet, where I'll just mention that ISU has a 21 game winning streak. :)

SIU is not good this season, but they are scrappy. They have lost a lot of close games that they should not have even been in. Ultimately their lack of size has really killed them, only having Dantiel Daniels and Davante Drinkard as true big men has really killed them. Especially given the fact that Daniels has been injured a lot this season.
