Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
I'm not one to complain about the refs but these Purdue-Penn State refs have been real bad so far.

Not that it matters, Purdue gonna lose anyway

also Wichita State beat Cincy at "home" (they're playing at NKU's barn this year due to renovations at Shoemaker, remember--personally I would have preferred they use the Gardens but that got closed and torn down last year), which is good because it made Mick Cronin madder than he usually is

Gutsy win for Purdue, especially with no Vince Edwards in the lineup. Eifert played well in his place.

I also enjoyed the karma of Watkins missing that late FT.

There is no such thing as Big 12 refs. I should make it my signature.

When it is West Virginia it just means a ref actually had the stones to call more than 10% of their fouls.

Yeah, I'd feel bad if it were any other team, but it isn't, so I'm not.

What is the point of ESPN having their own streaming platform if they don't show the games that are being overrun by an earlier game going long? I had to guess that the Mizzou game was on ESPNews channel.

lol ole miss is shooting way loving above average from three, always love to see mizzou get hit with that

mizzou going to lose at home to the worst team in the league, great job guys

Why am I watching this LSU-Vanderbilt game? At least Tremont Waters is pretty fun to watch. Will Wade appears to be a good coach getting this group of players to the record they have.

Oh, hey. Waters just got his 159th assist to pass Ben Simmons for most LSU assists by a freshman. It was a highlight worthy one, too. He rocked the baby going to the rim, got two guys to jump, then passed it around them to a diving cutter for an open dunk.

Mizzou keeps coming up with ways to trick me into thinking they might not fall apart down the stretch

Figured things were trending in the right direction as they comfortably outplayed Ole Miss for most of the second half, and yet, here we are

Big win for Kentucky on the road at Arkansas. Probably the most complete game they've played this year, despite being down 11-0 to start the game. Great movement away from the ball on offense, and solid defense.

One thing I will point out is that Tilmon and Porter are both still in the game, in overtime. Having played a lot.

Just noteworthy since it would have been unthinkable like 3 weeks ago.

Hey, gotta take the good with the bad.

Missouri is truly impressively awful at finishing games.

I feel like Geist is probably not the guy to be taking all the late game shots but whatever. :rip: SEC tourney bye, hopefully they still sneak into the actual tourney.

Pretty ugly de-rust game for Virginia after the weekend off, but a win's a win.

edit: oh, and that's the 1 seed in the ACCT wrapped, even if Duke wins out and UVA loses out the Cavaliers would still have the tiebreaker.

Next season will be slow, but if the touted incoming class develops going into the following season, CEd's senior year with a junior Haarms could be extremely fun.

I have hopes for them as a sleeper next year. The incoming class is solid and the red-shirt guys have some promise. There will be growing pains, but they'll be tough by the end of the season.

Honestly it's a fun season when you can be competitive with grit and defense and surprise some people, even if a championship is way out of the question.

True, but Painter's going to steal Romeo Langford from IU and win the 2nd of back to back titles.
