Some ranked teams didn't dodge the upset

Anyone comparing Wojo to buzz as a head  basketball coach is going to be disappointed at this point. Maybe he catches Buzz someday but not yet

Well, I think the comparisons to Virginia Tech may go away in 6 months anyway. Looking at the start under Billy Kennedy and how Jeff Goodman is already firing up the "Buzz is God's gift" campaign in November, I think you might see Buzz in College Station no later than April.

Buzz had the team looking very good against Purdue. I watched the game and VT reminded me a lot of our 2011-12 team. Also worth noting the VT community is solidly in back of Buzz and he was out dancing on the floor again in one of his wins .

If anything, that convinces me more one of his legs is out the door.

Thank God we didn’t schedule Lipscomb.

Another sneaky good low major. Top 125ish type team that should win the Atlantic Sun with ease. That being said,  absolutely a game TCU should win

Why?

[brewcity77]

Why?

It's the type of attention getting behavior that draws attention, just like the Goodman fluff articles and tweets.

At this point in his career, Buzz doesn’t need tame reporters or postgame theatrics to get a job like Texas A&M.  He can just point to his tournament record at MU and his successful rebuild of the dumpster fire VT program and ask for $3.5 million per year.  I don’t think he will, though, because that job would be a step down and he’s not being forced out of VT like he was at MU.  If he moves again, it’ll be for something bigger.

#17 UCLA beat Presbyterian 80-65 lats night.  The Bruins led the Blue Hose 61-58 with under 8 minutes to play before UCLA put them away.

Ahem.

It would be a step down in terms of the level Virginia Tech is playing out now vs what TAMU is playing at now. But I would argue that TAMU are similar in terms of program history and TAMU dwarfs VT in terms of resources. Add in the fact that Buzz is local and that TAMU was his first high major coaching gig, and that's absolutely a job he would leave for.

Tech looked good, though with the game tied near the end that was one terrible charge call that led to 3 points for the Hokies.  Announcers got it right.  Big call down the stretch.  The hack at the end where VT wasn't called and the ball went off Purdue player's leg was another one that replay was not kind to the officials.  Tech looks athletic and can shoot the three, which I thought was inconsistent with his teams at MU.

Ok, that sounds familiar. Little things like that buoy my hopes a bit.

Gonzaga dissecting the Duke defense so far.......getting anything they want.

I wasn't impressed with the Zags before this game but they look great today. Up 42-31 with 3 minutes left.

Non stop.  Hope Zags destroy them.

Louisville does not look at all terrible to me.  But then again, Mack is an outstanding coach.  The idea that if we lose to KAN, we're run Louisville off the court...don't see it.

That was always inevitable.

Zags play almost a perfect game.....other then the missed free throws late that could have cost them.....win by 2.

Great game

[Jockey]

Barrett is as relentless going to the hole as anyone I've seen in college since Pearl Washington.

But, Hachimura was The Man in this game.

Zags were leading by 8 at half.

Marquette is leading by 9 at half.

F*CK MU IS NOTHING LIKE THE ZAGS.  FIRE WOJO.

Not ranked, but Wake Forest lost to Houston Baptist.

Hard to see Danny Manning surviving past this year at Wake if things don't change fast.

Vanderbilt loses at home to Kent State. Granted they lost one of their two 5-star freshmen to injury two minutes in.
