Who's pumped for the Big 12/SEC challenge today? I'm glad all 10 games happen on one day.

I sure am Gators get their signature win for the season beating WVU. Hopefully that win will help their chances of getting to the NCAA tournament. Way to go Coach White and Gator basketball!

edit: So far the challenge is tied 1-1. UF beat WVU and Texas beat Vandy.

The O'Dome was rockin' for sure today Hopefully the Gator recruit Kodye Pugh (2017 SF) who was visiting for the game today enjoyed the atmosphere.

edit: Nice little look after the game https://twitter.com/FloridaGators/status/693515225476251648

Not a pretty win today against PSU but I'll take it. Every one they get without Levert is big. Especially going into back to back games against IU and Sparty.

 

[perfectchaos007]

The home teams have all won their games so far in the Big 12/SEC challenge (5-0). Not surprising.

edit: 6-0 to the home teams

 

[Grover Cleveland]

This season kinda stinks (and I'm definitely mostly saying that because Duke is down).

You can just tell that its setting up for a 6 vs. 8 national championship game that ends 54-49.

 

[perfectchaos007]

OU finally bucks the trend and gets a road W @LSU. However, Georgia leads @ Baylor.

Ben Simmons looking real pedestrian. Still not totally sold on him being the next Lebron.

By Australian standards, he is the Australian Lebron

He might not be the next Lebron, but he definitely shows flashes of being really really good. He has all of the attributes to be elite at the next level. He obviously needs to work on his jumper, as well as get a feel for when to put the team on his back and when to defer. At the moment, he definitely lacks that killer instinct and intensity that someone like Lebron would have. He's by far one of the most polished rookies we've seen in years, and he should definitely be the number one pick coming out of this draft.

He's definitely good, but I'm always hearing a lot more than good. Once in a generation, next Lebron, more athletic Magic, etc. Just not sure I see all that yet.

Kansas and Kentucky game is kinda ugly, but also pretty hype. Not sure we can hold on here down the stretch, but I'm glad we're playing well.

 

[iamblades]

refs are garbage.

 

[perfectchaos007]

refs are garbage.

Why do you think Kansas has won so many consecutive games at Fogg. You have to beat both Kansas and the refs.

 

[iamblades]

That block was fucking nasty.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Half court shot almost dropped. OT it is

 

[Fjordson]

Have to give it to Self, adjusted well with his D playing basically triangle and 2. Only dependable offense we have right now is Murry and Ulis. Just isn't enough against good teams.

 

[MisterR]

Tough to beat a good team that gets about 50 FTs

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, college whistle is rough with any game. UK really needs some more balance on offense though. The load is on Ulis and Murray way, way too much.

SEC doesn't basketball.

 

[perfectchaos007]

SEC doesn't basketball.

It's too bad the Big 12 no longer plays the Pac-12 in a challenge. That one was more competitive.

 

[DominoKid]

Gave the OU LSU highlights a run just now. Not gonna lie Hield is a frightening player. We dont have anything for him on our roster.

 

[Silkworm]

LSU and Kentucky games could have gone either way IMHO, so a 7-3 mark is a little misleading for this year. I think the SEC is getting better and should offer more of a challenge come next year. I look forward to next years Big 12-SEC Challenge

 

[DominoKid]

hey it did take the Big 10 like 10 years to get a win over the ACC.

So the sec needs to take a page from the B1G and poach a couple of basketball schools from the big 12? Kansas and OU to the SEC confirmed

 

[Randolph Freelander]

It's over. Sell your possessions and head for the hills. Duke is unranked in the AP for the first time since 2007.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Time to fire K

I wonder what's the buyout on a lifetime deal

holy hell does pitino teach his boys offense at all

well fuck guess we can kiss any look at #1 goodbye for the rest of the season. louisville just wanted it more.

Duke being unranked means god is on our side.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

It's a sad day for Duke fans when the only thing we have left is laughing at UNC losses. Living life just as straight up haters is some Maryland shit.

Even Maryland is doing well this year.

Can't believe the shitshow that is Duke bball right now. We need to get rid of K stat. Game has past him. He should have never signed up for the Olympics.

I worship the Blue Devil so no thanks.

Coach K is sick and won't coach Duke tonight against Georgia Tech.

Entering tonight's game versus Georgia Tech, interim head coach Jeff Capel is four victories behind Pete Gaudet on Duke's all-time win list.

We all know the deal tho.

A win goes to K
A loss goes to Capel

 

[truly101]

Amile is back in a boot. Thats it folks, its a wrap.

 

[Fjordson]

Kentucky had a 21 point lead at Tennessee and they're about to lose. Man we're shit.

 

[DominoKid]

so is this Capels audition?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Vrankovic getting run now?

Capel playing dudes that K shelved for 20 games

If Duke loses to Georgia Tech tho

 

[Randolph Freelander]

so is this Capels audition?

Basically. Word is that he has already agreed to change the spelling to Kapel if that would help with branding.

 

[bronkonagurski]

25-0 IU run. No biggie.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The Capel Era >>>>

Leave K at home

 

[Brian Fellows]

25-0 IU run. No biggie.

Good game. Feel free to keep Harbaugh too. Fucking traitor.
