Week 5: Other Games

Some favorite protection by Big 10 refs, especially on an obvious turnover by Purdue’s Loyer that is erased by a friendly whistle.

checked out the Huskers message board

"Two games in a row the big ten will need to apologize for a blown call to decide the game."

Big Ten admits its officials shouldn't have allowed Ohio State's buzzer-beater vs. Rutgers​

Buckeyes guard Tanner Holden was clearly out-of-bounds before he caught the ball and made the shot of his life.

[Hey Adrien!]

I moved onto the Kansas/Missouri game.

I posted a bit about them over the summer when I first learned Dennis Gates became their new coach. Easy team to root for with so much mid-major talent on their team transferring up to the SEC. Pretty cool they'll likely be rated on Monday.

Bill Raftery is doing Washington State/UNLV. How many games does he do a week? Impressive at his age.

 

[SoFla Steve]

SJU at home leads New Hampshire at the half 25-22. Hmm.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Butler wins at Cal 82-58.

Today so far, the Big East is 4-1 with four games remaining.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Cam Whitmore is a top 10 pick. I think they will be one of the better teams in the big east by the end of the year. Thinking 2nd above Creighton

So Alabama handled Houston, that helps UConn. No mention here?

Kansas is crushing 9-0 Missouri on the road. So the cream continues to rise.

Give me Kansas in the NCAA Tournament. I want to see where your allegiance really lies.

I guess because the Alabama game has its own thread.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Auburn loses. Based on their 1 point win over Northwestern and 5 point win over St. Louis, they are not done losing in the OOC portion of their schedule with a trip to USC and Washington coming up.

Auburn basketball is learning what Auburn football has already discovered. Auburn's sole competitive advantage was its willingness to cheat shamelessly and at a level that other schools were not willing to do. In an NIL world, paying players isn't cheating anymore, and Auburn's competitive advantage has vanished.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Surprised to see Houston favored by 9 pts over Bama, even if its at Houston.
Ark only 2.5 over Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
Auburn only 2,5 over Memphis at Memphis.

Is it an anti SEC thing or bigtime home advantage or something else?

What a freakin day!!!! So many easy wins. Usually Saturdays are harder. The only one to go sideways was Auburn and I broke my golden rule of not betting Memphis games. Bama, Arkansas, Kansas, Arizona (so far) all crushing their lines. Xavier, Penn St, Miami, WV, tight but picked up as planned. Handicappers putting way too much credence on home advantage. Stupid easy lines.

@August_West did you get paid?

All I had to do was look at Mizzou's roster and their schedule to know to load up Kansas at -3.5.

 

[MexicoHusky]

First time watching Zona. They have some size. Maybe enough to limit our inside dominance. I've always liked Jackson Davis as a player, but he looks a bit outmatched at the moment.

Gonna need a refreshed undefeated map with Mizzou and Auburn going down

Not to mention Houston.

Unfortunately, our territory won’t expand until UVa loses. They’re blocking us into the Northeast. Hopefully Houston knocks them off next weekend.

I agree Arizona matches up the best with us of any team.

 

[UofCT]

Has anyone checked out Memphis roster? They start three seniors and two super seniors. The bench has two more seniors, a super senior and a junior.

I assumed they were reeling in good freshman. Did I miss something?

Nice win over #11 Auburn

Ballo is a grown ____ man. I knew Trayce would have a hard time with him, but I think Sanogo and Clingan can manage plenty like they did against N'Faly.

Will be interesting to see if Arizona doesn't collapse like they did against Creighton.

I thought Bama +8.5 was a stone cold lock

It’s happened once. I’m a Husky till I die.

You thought wisely.

But you're right, Tubelis will eat us alive. We don't have the muscle at the 4.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Casey Jacobsen on Fox Sports just said incase there were any doubts before, Arizona has the clear best frontcourt in the country. Can one of you UConn twitter peps please @ him ?
