Curbelo looks like Markus's brother.

Wow.   Michigan has 14 points with 5 mins to go in the first half??  WTH?  Shocked. 

I missed the Baylor/WVU game but this are two really good teams.  Hopefully Huggy doesn't consume too much food after the tough loss.

[Mr. Nielsen]

So #3 Baylor is playing #6 West Virginia at 4:00 PM Central Time on a Tuesday so that they can have 8-14 Kentucky vs. 13-10 Ole Miss (playing in the Eastern Time Zone, so could flip those two and that game would be starting at 5:00 local time) at 8:00 PM on ESPN?  Awesome.

It's a make up game. That's the reason for the early time.

Ah got it.  Thanks.  That makes sense.

I blame Wojo.

[MuggsyB]

I blame Wojo.

Did J. Howard have a conversation with him or something?

Illinois is also missing their best player. 

[GooooMarquette]

During last night's OK vs. OK St game they showed a graphic that Cunningham's 40 points against OK on Saturday was the 1st time a player has scored 40 against a top 10 team since Novak vs. UConn.

I still have the baseball caps from that night.

Very cool! I still have my t-shirt.

[wadesworld]

This is a straight asswhooping by an Ayo-less Illini team. Impressive.

[MuggsyB]

All teams have dud games but Illinois can really defend. 

[Dish]

UWM/Wright State has been insane. Panthers were down 24 at the under 8 timeout, go on a 35-11 run to tie it at the horn on a last second 3.

UWM just won it.

[Mr. Nielsen]

UWM just won it.

On to the Horizon League semi finals. It must be March!

[Dish]

The entire Horizon League tournament tonight has been utter insanity. I love conference tournament week.

[Dish]

Cleveland State banks in a 3 at the horn to go to triple overtime! There's never been a better four quarterfinal games of a mid major tournament than tonight.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah there was a moment a bit ago.

Where one game was over. WIth a 1 pt win.

THe other 3 were in OT or the final two minutes of regulation and all seperated by 1 point.

CSU just banked in a 3 at the horn to send their game to.......Triple OT. Bonkers tourney.

[MuggsyB]

Some positive news....I see that Duke and Wisconsin lost.

[shoothoops]

Game on the line in overtime, opposing team inbounds. How do you defend?

You have your 7'2 bench player, Mabor Majak, guarding the inbounds pass, steal the ball, win the game, all while your entire bench jumps up and down in unison with your inbound defender.

Cleveland State:

Shades of Mbao.

[Galway Eagle]

Shades of Mbao.

Sounds like the name of his RnB album

[PGsHeroes32]

I will say, love Wojo or hate him.


His guys dont completely quit on him like the Gophers with Pitino.

[MuggsyB]

How good is Belmont?  I haven't seen them play. 

[JWags85]

How good is Belmont?  I haven't seen them play.

They are pretty good, but it's hard to tell cause they've played literally nobody, the OVC is rough. The next best teams after them are barely top 150. They have a HORRIFIC loss to Samford.  Their very best wins would be like beating DePaul.

[Dr. Blackheart]

If Stanford is a bubble team, MU has hope.

Looked at their nitty gritty. Literally 0 games against Q1 or Q2 opponents. They are 2-1 against the the top 150. 3-2 against the top 155.
