Some ranked teams didn't dodge the upset

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The seventeenth ranked Texas Fighting Shakas lost at home to Radford. It was the first game after being ranked #17, the highest ranking achieved by Texas under Shaka.

At least when Wojo lost his first game after achieving his highest ranking it was to a high major and on the road!

Buffalo on CBSSN from Belfast on Galway Eagle time.

They've been marketing this all over the country as if its on par with the NIT tip off or Maui Invitational. Really feel bad for any locals that think it is the actual top level of college basketball in the states.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Radford with wins at Notre Dame & Texas.

[4everwarriors]

Highlanders r da bomb, aina?

[brewcity77]

Kansas in danger. Down 8 at home with less than 8 minutes to play against Stanford.

[tower912]

K-State not immune, losing their first road game of the year.  Though they were 1.5 point road dogs.

[brewcity77]

KU went on a 14-3 run the next 4 minutes. Not done yet, but leading 68-66 with under 4 to go.

[brewcity77]

KU built a 5-point lead, Stanford rallied to take a 75-72 lead, then LaGerald Vick hit a three with 6 seconds left to force overtime. Good one at the Phog.

[brewcity77]

Kansas escapes 90-84 in overtime. Vick is tough.

Ouch. Miami has lost to Penn and Yale back to back.

[brewcity77]

Watched Miami lose to Rutgers. They are not very good. Definitely a miss in terms of preseason hype.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Yikes. Bama was up 21 with 14 minutes left.

22 actually. Didn't watch the game but it seems like Bama got called for a technical and then the entire momentum shifted. In those last 14 minutes GAST had three separate runs of 10-0, 9-0, and 10-2. That last one included the game winning three pointer at the buzzer.

[MU82]

Happens on all levels. The girls HS team I asst coach just won by 5 last night against a team we're much better than. They had one player who was hitting step-back 3s like she was Harden! Our head coach wasn't pleased after the game, but the other asst and I reminded him that any win is a good win, we took their best shot and prevailed, etc.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Ouch. Miami has lost to Penn and Yale back to back.

Or the Ivy looks pretty good this year.

VCU shot 28% but still upset their former coach at Texas, the Longhorns' third straight loss.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

#17 Buffalo was tied with D2 Le Moyne at halftime before demolishing them in the second half.

#19 Ohio State was trailing 2-7 Illinois at half (and well into the second half) before a late run led to a 10 point victory.

St. John's trailed 0-8 Mt. St. Mary's for most of the first half and the game was within 3 with 8 minutes left before pulling away late for a 14 point win.

#100 KenPom VCU beats Texas in Austin despite being held to 28% shooting

South Carolina loses to 3-6 Wyoming by 7

March darling Loyola (IL) loses at home to KenPom #99 Ball State

#1 Gonzaga needed a last second shot to beat a solid (but definitely inferior) Washington team at home

Yikes bikes.

This is easily one of my favorite threads.

That's a Shaka.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

That's a Shaka.

Three loses in a row is referred to as a "Shaka" much like three strikes in a row in bowling is called a turkey?

[tower912]

Read it out loud.    Think 'shocker'.    You rock, warriorchick.   I am seriously jealous I did not think of that.
