Wish I had cable but looks like the Gophers are hanging in there only down 7 at the half.

Mbakwe has played 7 minutes so far out of 36...yeah, the Gophers aren't going to win.

Minnesota vs. Stanford in a rematch of last year's NIT championship game. Should be good.

Normally I'd root hard for Northern Iowa but I kind of want Louisville to win this one. I don't think Michigan needs to move up anymore. But I hope the Panthers make them sweat.

I wonder if he wonders why everyone screams his name so enthusiastically.

I'm one of 5 people with NBC Sports Network (thanks to having to get extra channels to watch a couple of the football games this year), so I'm watching the Battle 4 Atlantis.
VCU definitely put in work tonight.
We need so much work offensively...but damn, our D is looking fantastic.

Shame nobody can see this. UNI's making it a game. We had our subs in for a moment, now it's only a 5 point game.

I'm witching back and fourth between your game and Drake/Cal.
I'm on vacation. I've done nothing but lay around and watch college basketball all week.

Minnesota beats Memphis on the back of Andre Hollins' 41 points. =)

Hollins was in beast mode today. And Rodney Williams is a freak of nature.
In other news Indiana lost their appeal in the Perea and Handjob case.

Michigan has gone 11 deep so far against KSU.

I hate having to watch Bruce Weber face. Hopefully I won't have to see it again for the rest of the season.

I love how ESPN is still doing everything they can to convince us he is a good coach.

Michigan will probably be top 5 all year. A close neutral court loss won't look as good as a win, but it'll still look pretty good.

Has Weber had a funeral for Frank Martin yet?
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
He's probably too afraid of Frank Martin. I know I would be.

VCU just got slightly jobbed.
I won't complain though.

We always seems to play them when they're good and this is a good team.

VCU's shooting themselves in the foot with these missed free-throws.
I don't. These two teams are VERY very different than last year. And outside of UNC, no one's going to blow Duke out at home.

If you're talking about the Duke/VCU game, I've not heard a game called so one sided for one team. Its like its 2007 again in more ways than one.
Team looks gassed either way

Don't watch any Duke games, I see.
Of course we get all the calls! Duke is part of the ESPN, NCAA, Illuminati conspiracy! Why wouldn't we get all the calls? Actually I'm talking about the commentating, the refs have been a lot of contact go on both sides. I'd be embarrassed for the color guys even if it was UNC playing.

LOL, I was joking, but I was also talking about the commentating. Dukie V, ACCSPN, etc.

Jay Bilas was pretty much rooting for OSU against Michigan last year. But I haven't had the sound on for this one so I don't know which is worse.

Way to pull out a win against a good team.
I agree. They look like they'll be very vulnerable tomorrow no matter who they face.
Tbh, I'm kinda surprised that Curry even played today. the coaching staff doesn't look too worried about him playing three days in a row on his...whatever his injury is.

Please name me one announcer other than Vitale who's in the tank for us. Have you ever heard Mike Patrick and Len Elmore call our games? Jimmy Dykes? For a network so in our corner, they have a lot of fun painting us as the cheapest and cheatingest players on the court. Name me any other sports team thats had a poll on the front page of their website for that teams most hated player.
ESPN loves our games because of ratings but they absolutely pander to the masses.
Brian Fellows

They do like to play both sides.
I don't like sounding like I'm trying to paint Duke as some poor victim, they're not. But for every analyst, announcer, color guy, beat writer that seems to like us, there are 4-5 more praying for Duke to fail, especially K.
This game was really awful though. Any foul "DUKE FLOPS" any call Seth Curry was involved in "I wonder if his dad taught him to flop" Plays where there was no charge taken "LOL WHAT A BUNCH OF FLOPPERS" Its like he was promoting that notion that Duke is a bunch of cheating floppers, just in case any impressionable recruits we watching. Either way, if I'm Kevin White, I'm on the phone with NBC and that dude never calls our games again.
It didn't last, apparently State was turning the ball over while Asheville was hitting everything from three.
State needs to figure it out fast or they will be frauds. Maybe they miss Painter more than people thought.

OK. Mason Plumlee is beasting this year. It took 2* Plumlees and 8 seasons of combined eligibility, but finally, there is a Plumlee showing some consistency for Duke. Finally.
*MP3 has yet to take the court for Duke, so he still doesn't count.
Yeah, all the "flop" talk was kind of ridiculous. We get it, Duke draws a lot of charges. They step in, take the contact, and go to the ground. But I'll humbly reject that those are flops. They generally absorb a lot of contact. People might not like the technique, might think it is cheap, might think it does not reward athleticism, but they're going to have to get over it. It's not like this is new. Coach K has had his team drawing charges for 30 years. Pull up jumpers, learn to use them.

Looking at the Louisville - Mizzou box score, Russ Smith had six steals! I knew he had at least a few, but damn.
Getting worried about Kentucky's chances for their game in December. Especially if we're still short at point and Ryan Harrow hasn't worked out whatever it is he's dealing with by then.
