Gafford 2 NBA, aina?

This is a fun game to watch. Langford is a monster as is the big guy for the Razorbacks

[ATL MU Warrior]

I4 goes down on the road thanks to a super questionable foul call with 2.5 and the game tied.

Not a Big East score but South Carolina and GW are playing in the consolation game in the same tournament with PC.

Current score:

South Carolina 49
George Washington 8

GW in all kinds of hurt and a former Marquette administrator was their AD and involved in some shady stuff at GW.  Resigned middle of last season after he fired the coach.

That was a really surprising foul. I'm surprised by how many late, game-deciding questionable fouls we've seen refs call in the first couple weeks of the season. IU played tough to battle back and took the lead a few times after being down double-digits in the second half. Shows how tough it is to win on the road.

Watched the Indiana/Arkansas game. Indiana was really hurt by Juwan Morgan picking up two early fouls. Think he played two minutes in the first half. They also had no answer for Gafford at all. Gafford was scoring at will, at one point they showed a graphic that he was shooting 9/10 in the second half and the rest of Arkansas was 4/20. I don't think Archie sent a double to Gafford once, Scoop would have lost its mind.

How did Indiana miss that no footer to win the game?  Wow.  That will sting them for awhile.

Yep. Two good shots to win it and couldn't get it done.

X hanging with a good Auburn team over in Maui.  Down 5 at half.  They'll have a shot if they can get anything from Goodin.  Currently 0-8 from the field.

Goodin really sloppy in the 2nd half. Lots of terrible passes.

Xavier in overtime with Auburn.

It's almost like college basketball teams are sometimes inconsistent in November.  Crazy.

Auburn themselves were inconsistent and mostly terrible down the stretch.

Clamped down hard in OT

X is a very physical team.

[Its DJOver]

Goodin with a very "bad Markus-ish" game.  Scored 13, but shot 3-19 from the field including 1-7 from 3, to go along with 7 TOs.  X needs good Quentin, the same way we need good Markus.

Right.  Good teams will struggle with low majors (see Clemson today, Kansas earlier this week, Nova, etc. etc. etc.).  Bad teams will play great and catch a better team on an off night.  Etc.  There are very few teams that play consistently great or consistently bad throughout an entire season, and especially in November and December.

X shows they can compete

Must fix the turnovers.

[Jay Bee]

Must fix the turnovers.

Meh. They're fine. That's what Auburn does to you.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton comfortably ahead of Boise State. Up 18 with 6 min left. The Johnnies are up by one with 2:33 left

[Herman Cain]

Johnnies beat Cal. Ponds is fun to watch.

[brewcity77]

St. John's comes from behind to pull out a win. They are unbeaten, but have really struggled with some mediocre teams so far. Good chance to go to 5-0 tomorrow against Temple or VCU, who also don't look very good.

At this point we want them to win as many as possible

Yeah, I'm cheering for all Big East teams at this point. But so far, the only Big East team that really looks convincing is Butler, albeit against marginal competition. The league really is wide open. Just pointing out that St. John's in their own backyard really struggled with what looks like a pretty bad California team and needed Shamorie Ponds to go God Mode to escape with a win.

So you are finally coming around to give Kamar a little love.

My goal is to always get as many Big East Team with 10 wins going into conference. DePaul is only playing 11 games non con, but they have a shot at going 9-2.

Kamar was terrible during non-con last year. He had only a single game over 100 Adjusted ORtg against a team in the kenpom top-100, which was #95 Furman. He played very well during conference play and based on that was deservingly first-team all Big East this preseason.

Doesn't take away that he was freaking awful for two months last year, only that he turned that around.

Well lets hope he stays strong, of course until he plays us.
