Opponents not looking great of late

UMBC just completed the season sweep of Vermont. They are a game back in the standings but have the tiebreaker. Them and Presbyterian have been solid buy games.

Impressive sweep of Vermont. Maybe they make the tourney this year without the buzzer beater.

A Kstate win tonight would be nice. It was a long shot coming in. But if Dean Wade is gonna play like a 10th grade boy..they in big trouble. Horrible shots, TO's, foul trouble and Kansas had half their pts with him on defense.

Would be nice to keep improving the Kstate win and to keep Kansas behind us in seeding.

I wouldn't count on it.  KU @ Phog is a very tough team to beat.  They've been atrocious at times on the road.  In hindsight, it makes our blown 2nd half on a neutral court sting even more.  Personally I'd much rather have that one back than Indiana, who ran us out of the gym.  We had our foot on KU's throat and forgot how to step.

KSU looked bad tonight. And yeah, it's at the Phog, but they just struggled the whole night. I've seen them play four or five other games this year, and I've never been all that impressed. Their defense is good, but their offense seems too stagnant. They're probably going to win the Big 12 this year, so they're clearly doing something right, though.

Maybe I'm just too used to a high powered offense. Or maybe losing a few bets has just soured me. It's probably the latter.

Old timers help me .. is phog pronounced fog? Or what

[Carl]

Phog Allen Fieldhouse.  Pronounced Fog, you have it right.  Phog Allen is an old OG Kansas legend, any fan of modern college BB should tip their cap.

Thank you Carl sir

Put it on your bucket list to go to a Big 12 game there.  It is quite the experience.

Some would argue you’d have to pay people to go to Lawrence, KS, but not so much other places, ai’na?

Yeah they have a lot of veterans so they can make some timely plays on offense. But they are also very inept at times that the game can be over before they can make the veteran plays down the stretch.

Wisconsin @ Indiana. One of the worst college basketball games I have ever seen. Just atrocious basketball from both sides.

It’s a travesty that one of these teams gets to leave with a win.

[cheebs09]

That was brutal to watch. UW tried to draw the foul on the inbound again.

That was truly hard on the eyes.......

Holy sheet.....that was just brutal to watch.
Terrible basketball.

No one wanted to win.

Wisconsin 2/8 from the FT line in 2OT...yiiiikes

[JakeBarnes]

This has to help us at least from a "worst loss" perspective. IU was definitely trending to our worst loss of the season, so it looks a little stronger. I personally am intrigued to see if they can win out and make the committee make some tough choices.

[MUfanatic45]

Lol Wisconsin 2/8 to start the 2 OT from the line.

Race Thompson who has no experience at the line isn't fouled by Happ because he doesnt want to foul out. Indiana keeps passing to waste time and eventually get an And1 lay up to go up 3.

Dude misses the free throw.

They foul Trice shooting 3.

Wisconsin lets langford do the most predictable drive ever

Great game!

[Oldgym]

It just felt that way.

As a reward, Ken’s algorithm will probably improve Uw-madison another few spots.   Ugly hoops

“Wisconsin was very efficient in such a loss. Getting to the line 8 times in the second OT shows smart attacking basketball, makes no matta. Fantastic use of all 5 fouls by runaway POY Ethan Happ. Wisconsin moves up to 12”

In other news, Jesse Newell moved Marquette down to 28th in his poll cause they scheduled both these teams

Compared to Duke, yes.  16 home games at Phog doesn’t overcome the other 250 days you have to be there.  I like the Baseball Hall of Fame, doesn’t mean I want to live in Cooperstown. Etc etc

I hate their resume so much. The top of their resume has more win depth than some teams pushing for the top lines (Tennessee, Houston, Texas Tech) and they don't have any terrible losses, but there's just so many. If they get to 17 wins & add a scalp or two in the B10T, they have to be considered.
