Week of 1/21/24 Other Games

[JustbrewitMan]

Mich St. Just keeps racking up quality blowout losses to support the “final four contender” claims by some idiots in the media…but Borges is not impressed

I've noticed that ESPN has done this before, where they post a story a day too late, and it makes them look pretty stupid. Today's example: Myron Medcalf predicting a big win for MSU over Wisconsin. Or maybe not.

Why you should pay particular attention to Michigan State, Houston, Kansas this weekend

 

[Tenspro2002]

Arizona has got a couple of bad losses

The list of teams that could plausibly knock us from the #1 or #2 line grows thinner by the day.

 

[runner11]

You don't see the extra hop step there?

He gathers on the jab step, left foot becomes the pivot, he lifts it and hops left and lands with both feet.

Simons gathers after the step back.

The classic “Harden step back” will never not look like a travel to me and seems like a hack more than anything. You can play this shot on .25x speed and see clearly that it is not a travel. I think he could have gotten away with this move even without his last dribble technically even though it looks BS.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

For the NYC area folks on the 'yard, Penn visits Columbia today at 2 PM.

Columbia opened conference play with a gauntlet facing Yale, Cornell and Princeton, who are clearly the best three teams in the Ivy.

Ivy Madness only has 4 seeds and Columbia is hosting this year, so it'll be a fun battle to see which team secures that 4 seed. Columbia's roster is finally showing signs of synergy after years of rebuilding, as they are led by 3-star recruits Geronimo Rubio de la Rosa, Blair Thompson and CT-native Avery Brown.

I'll be covering the game at press row.

 

[REB1094]

Houston is shooting 40% and has 9 points after 5 minutes

They’re up 9-0 on Kansas State

Just killing time until 12:30!

Very audible and very clear “Love Ed Cooley” chant on the Fox broadcast

 

[TRest]

Richmond didn’t travel to Marquette, saw one rumor on twitter it’s because of NIL, which would suck.

 

[storrsroars]

Houston is shooting 40% and has 9 points after 5 minutes

Just killing time until 12:30!

Still the one team I hope we don't face in FF. Their D is for real.

[WeAreUCONN]

Kansas not looking good against Iowa state. Down by 4 at the half and self was T’ed up for crying about an obvious flagrant 1 against his player. Kansas scored a whopping 26 points so far.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Texas losing to BYU. Bad for us. KU down at half @ Iowa State.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Georgetown chokes. Well, that would have been fun.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Kansas getting hammered.

 

[drayenob]

15-2 Villanova at Butler 8 minutes into the half. 2 points in 8 minutes at home.

 

[aceboon]

Kansas down 5 with 30 secs left and their PG Harris passed up a layup to kick it up top to Dickinson for a 3 at the top of the key, he missed and game is over.

 

[HitDog]

Texas is pathetic.

 

[uconngb]

Richmond didn’t travel to Marquette, saw one rumor on twitter it’s because of NIL, which would suck.

What does that even mean

 

[alexd]

Richmond didn’t travel to Marquette, saw one rumor on twitter it’s because of NIL, which would suck.

Coach says it's "soreness".

 

[Dove]

Texas is pathetic.

Why couldn't they just me made to switch up their positions?

 

[storrsroars]

There's a rock fight in Starkville. Auburn/Miss St tied at 21 at half.

 

[Matrim55]

Five minutes into the second half and Indiana are 0-for-3 from 3 against Illinois. Just regressive hoops out of a different era.

Thank god Hurley had his come-to-Jesus moment about running a modern offense last year.

 

[auror]

Brickfest for Nova vs. Butler. Butler has 37 points 31 minutes into the game.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Kansas down 5 with 30 secs left and their PG Harris passed up a layup to kick it up top to Dickinson for a 3 at the top of the key, he missed and game is over.

They don’t have enough shooting, even with Furphy starting. Timberlake being a dud makes such a difference. Give them Cam and they’d be very very good.

Indiana beating Illinois on the road. That should help us right?

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Neptune stinks

 

[aceboon]

Nova was playing overly aggressive due to the foul situation, no? Nova defender was handchecking the hell outta dude the whole time and on the drive but no foul called
