It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

ISU moved up 2 spots despite losing to Kansas, but I imagine a 2 point loss on the road to #2 isn't exactly considered a big loss. Helps that a ton of teams in the top 25 also lost this week. FAU made the rankings for the first time ever.

Just because Edey is 13 feet tall doesn't mean you can hook him on a rebound attempt and get the call. Shut the gently caress up Tom Izzo

Hell yeah man, they deserve it. Weird seeing us as the only two ranked in the B1G

Edey scored 32, the rest of the team scored 32 and it was just enough.

Because variants, as I've learned from first-hand experience, can be vicious even if you are fully-vaccinated and up to date on booster shots.

Kentucky erases an 8 point halftime deficit to beat Georgia by 14. Oscar Tshiebwe had 37 and 24. That second half might be the best they've looked all season.

Sahvir Wheeler can stay hurt. Cason Wallace is the better point by a mile.

We were due for a no-call to end the game going the other way. I'm not even mad, winning like five games in a row that go down to the wire is a ticking time bomb and a big loss helps re-set the mentality.


That being said I really don't know how a ref can be staring at this and not call the guy out of bounds. The game depended on it.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I'm going to be in Austin the week of 1/29 for work and I thought about seeing Baylor play at Texas on 1/30, but the cheapest tickets I can find are $100. Not paying that much for two teams I don't root for. If anyone knows of a cheaper place to get tickets, let me know. Maybe if I just wait until the last minute I can get something that's not super expensive.

For a single ticket, I wouldn't really look until two or three days before the game. You don't want the tickets that haven't been bought yet, you want the last minute "something came up and I can't find anyone" prices.

Yea, I'll stick to that plan. I'm not even sure I can make it to the game anyway, so I might as well just wait like an hour before tipoff and see what I can find.

Don’t think that’s actually how this year’s UVA works though.

A&M teaching everyone why you hold the ball on a late breakaway and waste time rather than dunk it when you're up and they have to foul

e: thankfully Florida has no idea how to run an end of game possession apparently

This has been a physical game but I’m not sure it’s been a “19 fouls in 12 minutes” level of physicality

Edit: it seems like Arkansas always has an opponent that has never hit a 3 pointer in their life just become a sharp shooter

Oh man that's a shame for Mizzou in what should be a nice night for them if they close this out.

Like that kinda screws their season probably.
