Iowa, are you going to gently caress this up? Because you are kind of really getting my hopes up here.

edit: yep, here we go. Right on schedule.

I have never smoked a bowl and then watched a game that Bill Walton was announcing, but I imagine it would be an amazing experience.

Soon I will be leaving to see the poor Drake Bulldogs get slowly choked to death by #23 UNI. Looking at the odds (Drake +13, O/U 116.5), Vegas seems to think Drake will score around 52 points. Personally, I'm not sure how they will even get to 40...

NCAA basketball is pretty much the same as football anymore, there are fouls and traveling on every single play, so anyone can find an unlimited number of reasons to complain about the refs.

If NC State blows a 19 point lead with less than 5 1/2 minutes left, then they can really just go gently caress themselves.

Did they just say that 9/10 Big 12 teams have been ranked at some point this year? When was either Kansas State or Texas Tech ranked?

Per Pomeroy - this is the first time since February 19, 2005 that Ohio State and Kansas both lost on the same day.

You can thank the state of Iowa for ending our long national nightmare.

I generally agree, and also dislike the new practice of fouling late when up 3. It is the optimal strategy, but sucks the fun right out of the game. I'm just not sure how to fix the issue...

Additionally, something needs to be done about the excessive number of timeouts. I'm pretty sure that between Baylor and K State yesterday, five timeouts were called in the last 30 seconds of the game. What should have taken a couple minutes tops ended up taking about 15.

edit: I was wrong, there were five timeouts called in the last loving 17 seconds of the game. Seriously.

Every time I have seen Oklahoma this season they have looked lovely - are we sure they are actually a good basketball team?

The games stuck in my mind are the home lose to a Bruce Weber team and losing to a Greg McDermott coached team. (only excuse for losing to Greg McDermott is if he had Ben Jacobson or Doug McDermott with him)

I generally root for Iowa State in basketball, but it is hilarious to see Kansas State in first place in the Big 12 after their nonconference results, so I am conflicted...

It appears that Huston-Tillotson is still beating Baylor, now with 6 minutes to go in the first half. What a hilarious upset that would be...

Jesus Christ Virginia... they held Georgia Tech to 28 points. The third team they have held to under 30 this season.

edit: and all three of those teams are top 150 kenpom, so it wasn't against completely dogshit teams.

Oregon's website says

MATT ARENA LOGO
Unique letter forms spell out “MATT” in a toothy grin reminiscing Matthew Knight as a child.
A smile, and a Japanese-inspired Torii gate shape, (A Torii gate is a symbol of a sacred place in Japanese culture).
Curved arena forms that connect the Oregon Graphic Identity with the heroic proportions of the arena architecture.
