Upsets! / Surprise results.

[Billy Hoyle]

In no way do I think we deserved to win that game vs. Madison, but their outrageous 3pt% that game vs. their average this season is really upsetting to see.

Might have been the defense they were facing

Might have been the defense they were facing

Way too many open looks for Wisconsin v MU. In Brooklyn many of their shots were contested. Wisconsin turned the ball over 29 times in two games. Wisconsin was able to slow down the pace of the games but they couldn't protect the ball and they did not get many open looks on offense.

Let me state the obvious.  Wisconsin is not good.

[Cheeks]

They are 4-0 at home, 0-3 away from the Kohl hole.  Different team at home, 9th best (I believe) in ncaa last 20+ years.

They will get plenty of scalps, especially at home.  How is Evansville?  Jayce Johnson?

[MuMark]

I watched the game...'UW got plenty of open looks...they missed shots they made against us.

At the college level most 3 point looks are not contested. 3 point shooting percentages have a high degree of variance.......Pomeroy has done the research on it.

For those with access to the Athetic..   KenPom: Shooting and defending the 3 is random business (i.e., relax! It's early)

One of the worst looking teams I've seen out of Madison in some time.

Jayce Johnson is bad at basketball.

[Cheeks]

3 point line change already taking its toll early this year.  Percentages down as predicted.

[Cheeks]

Jayce Johnson is bad at basketball.

Ok.  Thanks.  My guess is he is average and will help us with fouls, rebounds, minutes.  But ok, you say bad.

[Oldgym]

Barnburner at Cameron right now.  Under a minute, Duke ahead of Stephen F Austin by one.

Dukescoop gnashing of teeth right now, surely

[Mr. Nielsen]

Going to overtime.

[MuMark]

Duke clearly overrated

[GoldenZebra]

When was the last time two #1 teams lost AT HOME to a mid-major school?

[PGsHeroes32]

That was an incredible ending

Down goes Duke

[MUEng92]

I base my opinion on watching a grand total of 5:45 of Duke this year but they apparently have no one who can make a jump shot. 

[Big Papi]

Stephen effin Austin baby!

Great finish.

[MUEng92]

6 total point in OT?  Offensive powerhouse

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Wow. College basketball is always unpredictable, but this is something else. It might be recency bias, but I can't remember this many major upsets this early in any recent seasons.

Thanks madden 

[MuMark]

Duke was a 28 point favorite.

[MU82]

Stephen effin Austin baby!

Great finish.

Well, what did you expect? I mean, just a few days ago, SF Austin was almost good enough to win at Rutgers.

So of course they go into Cameron and beat the Dookies!

[Mr. Nielsen]

Man, that player with the game winner parents are from the Bahamas. They lost everything. Emotional post game interview with the great Dan Bonner.

Wasn't SFA that school that lost that heartbreaker to ND in 2nd round couple of years ago?

[Cheeks]

Thanks madden 

In my opinion our own fans have forgotten the line moved back.  Shooting percentages are going to be more inconsistent.  I say this because some here are comparing this year to previous year's percentages as if it is an apples to apples comparison...happy to provide the public service message.
