Baylor is playing NAIA school Huston-Tillotson tonight, for whatever reason.

How does that happen, especially in the middle of the season? Wouldn't your players be better off just having the day off?

Tulsa hosting Memphis tonight. The UConn win was huge, but the Memphis win would be more satisfying, and they may not get a better chance at it.

While together in C-USA, Tulsa went 1-15 against Memphis; the lone win was in 2011 against the worst Memphis team since Kenpom started measuring. It wasn't any coincidence that Tulsa only got back to the NCAAs once Memphis left the conference; the Tigers pretty much were a lock to win the automatic bid every year—even that 2011 team won it.

Now they've been thrown back together in the AAC, and Tulsa's actually a better team, by the numbers. A win would get that monkey off the back, as well as preserve a spotless conference start.

Leading us to the promised land (i.e., one tournament win in five years)
And another Illin guard down. An IU player evidently detached his retina. Out 1-2 weeks.

What a dumpster fire.

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...

Tulsa ends up winning by 18 and the game wasn't even really competitive the second half.

6-0 now in the AAC, though the schedule's really backloaded. Could be 10-0 when SMU comes to town in February.

baylor is resting 2 starters. gathers just set the big 12 rebound record and might beat the school record as well (26 is where he is now, 27 is baylor record).

im not sure why they scheduled this, but its a local texas college so hopefully they got a nice payday

ESPN doesn't even have a logo for Huston-Tillotson. What a ridiculous game to schedule in the middle of conference season, there's got to be a story behind it.

Best guess I have heard is that Drew wanted to keep the normal game preparation rhythm going during their bye so they scheduled a total bodybag rather than sit idle.

Great end to the Purdue-Illinois game. Two great passes from Nunn, Hill buried a 3 at the end to give us a lead, 32-30 over Purdue at halftime.

I'm pretty excited that Hill/Nunn/Tate/Black will have 2 more years (theoretically) to play together. Sky's the limit there, we'll know exactly what we have with Groce by the time that soph class graduates.

So it's actually way odder than that. Like, odd to the point that Samuel L. Jackson was nearly involved.

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.
