Some ranked teams didn't dodge the upset

The fan base I miss least after the shakeup. The arrogance and general attitude of their fan base was horrible. And Boeheim is an assclown

As much as I love the general comraderie with the current Big East, I do miss just really hating Cuse and Louisville

[Pakuni]

Boeheim was so excited by the win, he pissed himself.



Also, Syracuse beat Duke, Buffalo beat Syracuse, MU beat Buffalo ... so MU the new #1?

Depends on what?

Reminds me of the old Bob Dole joke:

#10 loses by 21 tonight

Buffalo, Auburn, Texas Tech, Mississippi State, Mississippi all went down last night.  Michigan barely survived.

Tennessee got so lucky Vanderbilt p*ssed themselves in the last minute and a half of regulation and then couldn't hit a clutch free throw to save their life

Heard they benefited from a flagarant as well

Not sure if it was a good or bad call

Williams harnessing his inner Markus. 43 points and 23/23 from the line.

Not an upset (at least not yet), but I've watched the better parts of Nevada conference games and I just don't see it. Best wins are Utah St and ASU.

Struggles with Air Force and currently sloppy against Colorado State, both games at home.

They remind me alot of New Mexico from 2011 or 10. Whenever we lost to Washington in the tournament. Everybody new that they were so over ranked with a 3 seed and that they would get upset in the second round. Well that happened by Washington. They might be protected with a 3-4 seed come tournament time but eventually you play a team that belongs and there season will end the first weekend.

I remember being so disappointed with the loss because of that exact thing. We would have had a clear path to the S16 playing the winner of New Mexico/Montana. Pac12 teams knocked us out with buzzer beaters 2 out of 3 years... Theo would have blocked both of them!

I remember wanting us to have a second crack at WVU so bad after that Ebanks buzzer beater and it was pretty clear that if we get over Washington we get that. Of every tournament loss I've been a fan of us for that might be the most painful one... mostly because Missouri was our own fault.

Think it was Desean Butler, but same exact thought.

No. 21 NC State actually did dodge the upset at home against Clemson, but needed to rally from 6 down with 35 seconds left to do it.

Clemson helped NC State rally when leading scorer Marcquise Reed missed 4 straight FTs.

It's comforting to know that kind of thing is unlikely to happen with our leading scorer (or No. 2 scorer or No. 3 scorer) on the line.

BTW, the winning 3-pointer was made by Braxton Beverly, the kid who enrolled early at Ohio State to start schoolwork but then decided to transfer to NC State after OSU canned Thad Matta. The NCAA initially said Beverly would have to sit out a year but after much protest common sense prevailed and he was allowed to play immediately at NC State.

He also committed to Miami(OH) then ditched them during the summer before he enrolled cause he had a good senior year so then went to prep school before settling on OSU. Clearly a good player but was al over the place and rubbed some people the wrong way

#7 Purdue beat #6 MSU. Oh wait that’s unranked Purdue who is just another slow tempo darling ridiculously overrated by KenPom

That he rubbed some people the wrong way was no reason to deny his request, so I'm glad the NCAA didn't. I'm glad he was a case of an athlete who actually was given a little freedom. I've noticed a few others the last couple of years. It's a positive turn IMHO, but still too rare.

I don’t disagree at all. Just acknowledging all the variables in his situation

Wild ending to tonight's Virginia-NC State game. NC State threw up a desperation 3 ... and Va fouled on the play. So the guy goes to the FT line with 0.9 left with a chance to tie the game ... but he missed the first. After making the second, it looked like he was trying to miss the third on purpose but accidentally made it. Va held on to win by 1 because they didn't do what Creighton did against us.

Meanwhile, the Fightin' Shakas might have saved their season by beating Kansas. The game was in Austin and Kansas was without its best player, but still a meaningful win for a Texas team that already has 9 losses, including several to teams that would have had Scoopers screaming, "Fire Shaka!" if he were here.
