Kentucky is number one of course, with Maryland #2 with their glorious four-point win over Georgetown. Yeah, okay. Wisconsin lost to Western Illinois, NC State lost to William and Mary, and UCLA lost to Monmouth and looks bad in general. Cheick Diallo will finally get to play, Marcus Page is coming back, while Tyler Ullis is day-to-day. Ben Simmons good, LSU, not so much. December basketball - GET EXCITED.

Lots of folks saying that London Perrantes will be out for tonights UVA game at Ohio State. People are blaming appendicitis but the school hasn't said anything one way or the other yet. If it's true, I would think Darius Thompson would get the start at point, with Devon Hall getting some good minutes in backup.

Sucks but always glad when stuff like this gets caught.

Perrantes is confirmed as out due to an appendectomy. We're deep at guard, fortunately. Thompson or Hall is likely to start (maybe both).

Purdue has Pitt tonight. Purdue has started the season 6-0 and is up to #11, but I expect Pitt to win. Purdue is without the Big10 defensive player of the year and their captain, SR Raphael Davis. Purdue plays big, they start a 7'2 center, 6'9 forward and 6'8 forward. They are freshmen and sophomores though. Pitt starts seniors and grad students. Pitt also gave gonzaga a game in Okinawa before it was cancelled. This is purdue's first road game. All in all I think pitt's experience wins this one. Either way excited for it!

Purdue has won 7 Big10-ACC challenge games in a row. The last game they lost was the home game to Duke in 2008, and I was there, feeling like I had been punched in the gut. Might be time to give Purdue another shot at Duke or UNC in Mackey. Just sayin' for next year, ya read it here first.

Kind of wondering whether UNC will jump both ISU and Kansas to #3 after beating the Terps, or if KU moves to 3rd, ISU to 4th, and UNC to 5th. That win has to give them a big bump.

I've hated Syracuse since Carmello and nothing has happened in the intervening years to change my opinion. If their fans around the country resemble the ones out here that might be the biggest group of Chachs in any single fanbase.

The Great Autismo! posted:Boy it sounds like Crean is having issues in Bloomington. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy It's bad--really bad. I don't see any fans still supporting him. The only debate at this point is whether he should be fired mid-season or not. Personally, I'm in favor of it. He's not going to accomplish anything this year, so let's move on and see if an interim can make the team at least watchable. The structure of the buyout means it's not as much of a factor as people make it out to be, so let's just get it over with and let the world know that the IU job is open.

I was told yesterday Crean is done. Figured it meant at the end of the year because the buyout drops considerably, didn't ask. Would be surprised if he is gone before that but these things can happen quickly

Robert Johnson would be a great transfer pickup for Virginia if Crean gets booted.

Skal looked completely lost last night, and probably would have played even less had Lee not got hurt. Really wishing Dakari had come back. I don't follow the NBA at all, is he even on a team right now?

He's only in the like 2-5 range now just because he's toolsy and it's not a very good class, but Simmons is a mile out in front of everyone else now when before a few people were pushing that Skal could challenge him.

With the talent on that roster there was a lot to look forward to. If it nets a competent coach then I guess it will be worth it. I just hope it's not another 3-4 year rebuild.
