First a bad loss then this.

Scary crap right there. Can't imagine being a part of something like that.

12 minutes to go from 35,000-10,000 feet.  Wimps, I've done it in about a minute.

Honestly, though probably terrifying for them.

[GGGG]

I do hope they find what caused the cabin to lose pressure. Should give EVERY D1 team pause when flying charter until the know what happened.

Every team?  Why?  It happens...thankfully very rarely.

I think we need to mention Archie the human wakeup call that graduated last year. Real name Ryan Arcidiacono - I swear I thought his name was really Archie Diacono Diaganeau for a long time.

FIFY

I'm watching the Xavier/Gtown game. Are the Xavier player wearing pantyhose?

[BM1090]

Only one half but Georgetown looks way better, and Pryor has been quite. They've had  2X as many successful backdoor cuts in one half today than in a full game vs. MU

Yeah, Peak looks good today.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Yeah, Peak looks good today.

Yup, and didn't he come out in the 2nd half of our game and take like the first 2-3 shots?  Makes me think he wasn't so much hurt against us as completely shut down and frustrated.

Whoever at FS1 updates the score really needs to be replaced, it seems like it is wrong as often as it is right.

Was gonna mention the scoreboard part


It's getting sad

Especially frustrating when you bet on the game 

[TSmith34, Inc.]

X's has hoisted some awful 3P shots this half, including 2 air balls. Very beatable

I'm watching the Xavier/Gtown game. Are the Xavier player wearing pantyhose?

When worn during a sporting activity they're compression leggings.
When worn for pleasure they're pantyhose.

It's all in the positioning.  Guy in my running group wears them and we're relentless on him.

Edit: G'Town is playing pretty good today.  From what i've seen it looks like as long as keep X on the perimeter we'll have a shot (i've watched a total of 15 minutes of them though)

[nyg]

Tough game to watch. 61 fouls called, was free throw contest.
X had 38 attempts and Geo had 23. Believe Geo was 2 for last 9.

But is their defense lazy?

[MUBigDance]

I am throwing all my pre-conceived notions out the door...about STJ, about DP, about X, about Butler, about NOVA.....and even about MU. Lets win the BE.

The BE might be a crapshoot all of a sudden.

How long would a player typically be out with "tendonitis?"  I'm not even sure tendonitis of what, but that's what Booth is out with.  He was a solid glue guy for them last year, and they're still up 5 at top 10 Creighton, where UW got shellacked.   Nova is tough, both physically and mentally.

Oh, and Creighton hasn't forgotten how to flop.

Tendonitis and tendonosis can take up to 6-8 weeks to heal if it is severe.  I've had tendonosis in both my knees and ankles and it is a weird injury in that it can linger for weeks but then suddenly clear up almost overnight.

[PGsHeroes32]

If nova had spellman idk how they would lose

[tower912]

Nova is the defending champs and undefeated for a reason.

DePaul / SJU in a battle w 10 to go.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Butler up 19 on PC at half.

DePaul / SJU in a battle w 10 to go.

SJU grabs 6 point W at DePaul.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

SJU grabs 6 point W at DePaul.

By the transitive property of basketball, SJU is three points better than Villanova. #mathdon'tlie

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

After Novas loss to Butler, looks like GT is about to drop one at Providence.

Winning in the road in the BE is hard to do.
