bad week for OSU

 

[Gorillaz]

Been telling people our boys bb program has to be full of underachievers and coaches that don't understand a thing bout conditioning

The motto probably is "As long as we make it to sweet 16 we are happy......"

Damn, just checked the OSU/Minnesota score.

I still think OSU is very good. What's wrong with them?

 

[Fjordson]

Nice win for Minny.

Hey, the B1G is far and away the best conference in college basketball. Every team in this conference gives their best week in week out. tOSU went undefeated OOC, and now have a losing B1G record which just shows you how tough the conference is. Compare that to the Big 12 where Kansas had 4 OOC losses, and now they are running away with the Big 12 and undefeated in conference. The ACC is pretty good, and tied the B1G in the B1G/ACC challenge, but almost all of the match-ups were favorable for the ACC team. The Big East was disbanded and now irrelevant, the pac-whatever has Arizona and a bunch of scrubs and don't get me started on the SEC. What a joke. tOSU will go far in the NCAA tournament, as long as they don't face a B1G team in their road to the final 4. tOSU is a great team, and Aaron Craft is one of those rare undersized scrappy white guys we can all root for.

 

[Gorillaz]

As a division B1G is pretty solid I will say that

Big East collasping like it did hurts tho. I did enjoy it for awhile

 

[DominoKid]

OSU isn't going to the F4 whether they run into a Big 10 team or not.

 

[dmag1223]

This team is absolutely painful to watch right now. Im pretty confident Matta can still right the ship and turn this team into a sweet 16 caliber club though.

You've been taught well

Big XII actually had the best non conference RPI and schedule. I realize those are flawed metrics but I don't think it is fair to say that Big Ten is "far and away" the best conference and the Big XII is a bunch of scrubs. The Big XII is looking at 60% of their teams making the dance. KU also had 4 loses in the non-con because they "far and away" played the hardest schedule in the country. The difference between KU's #1 schedule and the 2nd place team is the same as the difference between the 2nd best schedule and the 83rd in the RPI. The schedule was just ridiculous.

Truthfully, OSU just didn't play anyone in the non-con. KenPom puts them at the 125th hardest schedule (including their most recent conference games).
Edit: The 279th hardest non-con schedule. Haha.

 

[Servbot24]

Definitely looking like a 3 man race in the B10 now. That said any team could win on a given night.

 

[bucknuticus]

Fell asleep on the couch before the game and just woke up. Thank god I didnt sit through that shit show game

Are you telling me that an Ohio sports team is letting people down? No fucking way.

 

[inm8num2]

Did Minnesota fans rush the court?

 

[Servbot24]

nope... though they would have (rightly so) if OSU hadn't just lost the 2 games before I'm sure

 

[NaturalHigh]

Almost game time here at Rupp. Let's get some redemption here.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Saw a "up-next" banner on SportsCenter that said ACC Powers Collide. Immediately above it, I see Syracuse and Pittsburgh's logos

smh

Duke, UNC we gotta do better yall

 

[Servbot24]

Go Pitt. OKSU vs KU probably won't have any effect on Iowa's ranking, as I'm guessing whoever wins that will be ahead of us. And none of the other top 15 games are likely to be upset, though it's of course possible.

I know ranking doesn't matter right now, I only care because just a couple years ago we were a complete joke, so making the top 10 would be a big deal for us.

 

[jjasper]

Looks like this might be good Tennessee today but like the A&M game showed can't be fooled until it is over.

This is a big game for Stokes Maymon and McRae though with all the scouts watching Kentucky hopefully they play up for them.

 

[jjasper]

Randle is pretty good off the dribble and attacking.

Fun game so far hopefully 2nd half is as good.

 

[NaturalHigh]

UK getting destroyed on boards. 23-10.

Not many happy fans after the swinging elbow no-call. What actually happened there for them to dismiss it?

Replay showed he didn't touch him. It was a flop.

Our shooting shows up and our rebounding goes away.

[jjasper]

McRae blowing the game. Bad decision on the fast break and a missed FT otherwise it could be a 2 point game.

And Harrison with the opposite. Big play on defense and then the dagger.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Former President George H.W. Bush in Durham today.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Parker is much more aggressive today.

 

[Servbot24]

NW 17 - Indiana 8 with a couple minutes left in the first half. Lol.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

This is easily the best Duke has looked in a while. 76-48 with under 8 to go against State.

 

[DominoKid]

state is trying so hard lol.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

On the road and just saw the Duke-State score.

Damn

 

[Coldnoodle]

Smart, Wiggins, Embiid.

Here we goooooo

 

[Randolph Freelander]

95-60 win for Duke. Duke's best game in a while, Parker's best game in a while, pretty balanced scoring for everyone else. Up next is a road game, where they're 0-2 in the league, against Miami. The Hurricanes hung in there against Syracuse and beat North Carolina, but they're still just 10-7 overall.

 

[jakncoke]

Damn Jamie Dixon is 10-4 and 5-1 inside the dome against Cuse. Much success

 

[Coldnoodle]

Forte, dear lord.

 

[jakncoke]

Why is Memphis playing a team like Lemoyne-Owen at this point in the season

 

[devilhawk]

Smart with the most hilarious flop there. It was like he just died. From a slap handcheck from the tiniest guy on the KU roster. Haha

 

[jakncoke]

sloppy, missing some easy looks, lamar patterson slow as fuck 1st half. we're still in the game, so things arent look so bad.

 

[Servbot24]

I wouldn't be bothered if technicals could be called on blatant flops.

 

[devilhawk]

I wouldn't be bothered if technicals could be called on blatant flops.

The problem is he was fouled. He was handchecked. But the acting on it was hysterical.

And then he just tried the Dwayne Wade leg out jumper.

 

[Coldnoodle]

OH MY GOODNESS

TARIK BLACK GOING HAM

 

[jakncoke]

lol fuck the refs

 

[devilhawk]

Smart with a sneaky flop again to get Wiggins a foul. Dude is relentless.

 

[SyNapSe]

There was reallyno reason for that double T. Just the random get stuff under control call I guess

 

[KingGondo]

We suck.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

They might as well rip the ACC stickers off of the court for this Pitt-Syracuse game.

This is BE through and through. First one to 60 wins

 

[devilhawk]

"Selling the foul."

It's called a fucking flop.

 

[Coldnoodle]

LMFAO

 

[KingGondo]

"Selling the foul."

It's called a fucking flop.

Correction: a flop is when there's no foul. Smart has been fouled a lot this game and he's smart (no pun intended) to exaggerate it in a road environment.
