Texas Tech beat Iowa State by the same score 80-77 in Overtime that Marquette last to UW to in overtime. Not that it means much or anything

Why do you keep posting stuff like this

[brewcity77]

I have no idea how Baylor stayed in that game last night. It constantly felt like they were chasing the game and it was surprising they were keeping it to a couple possessions; it really felt like it should've been a double-digit lead for Texas all night. Too bad the Bears couldn't steal it, but good game.

From 10:10 - 4:20 in the second half, ISU had 8 turnovers and 0 (!!!) attempts from the floor.

Absurd.

I'd melt down if Marquette did this.

[tower912]

Sheeee-ittttt.   People here meltdown over one turnover.

[Uncle Rico]

Stuff happens

[WhiteTrash]

Damn, that was free money. Or did TTU get back a bunch of injured players?

This did not age well.

I guess that's why I don't bet on sports.

I mentioned it yesterday here about John Higgins insane late night cross country trip, and noticed he's in Austin tonight for Baylor/UT. This is his third game in 48 hours.

For kicks, I looked up his schedule for the last week.

Last Tuesday - Piscataway for PSU/Rutgers
Wednesday - San Diego for USU/SDSU
Thursday - Corvallis for Utah/Or St
Friday - Off
Saturday - 7pm PST Palo Alto for Cal/Stanford
Sunday - 12:15 pm EST West Lafayette for MSU/Purdue
Monday - Austin for Baylor/UT

I'd bet money if I could on him being in Lawrence tomorrow night. Just a ridiculous schedule.

Higgins is indeed working in Lawrence tonight.

Clemson is ranked

And in reality should not even be in the tournament.

Fordham blows St. Louis off the court in the second half.  If the Big East expands, this is a clear referendum on Fordham's worth vs. St. Louis

Buzz and Co missed a big bubble win opportunity.

Still in jepardy of another NIT post game rant....

7-1 in the SEC and on the bubble - Buzz must have had a terrible nonconference...

Yeah he had his insane rant last year. Then went with another brutal non con schedule.

Buzz just can't help himself with those brutal OOC schedules, it's become a staple of his.

What happened to Muss and Arkansas? Wasn't that team supposed to be elite this year?

It was awful.  Neutral court losses to Murray State and Colorado.  Losses to Boise State, Memphis and Wofford.  Best non-con win is DePaul

He should get to 20 wins and has home games against Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama.  Team has been much better in league play

Some injuries.

But also just not as good as expected. They really cant shoot at all. And not elite enough inside the arc to make up for it.

A Buzz team that can't shoot?  Never saw that before

[PGsHeroes32]

That was about Arkansas ha

[Uncle Rico]

That was about Arkansas ha

Them, too.  31% from 3 🥶

Didn't we want to be SLU at one point by people who know ball?

Vandy playing Bama very competitively.

This is the lamest thing I've ever seen a college athletic department do: https://twitter.com/theorangekrush/status/1620956279739916288?s=46&t=VWWBHd-Aztxv1-S89I1fLw

Read down into the thread. The group apparently ordered the tickets under false pretenses, claiming they were for the Boys and Girls Club. When Iowa found out, they canceled the tickets and then gave the seats to actual kids from the actual Boys and Girls Club.

If that's true, sounds like it was the Krushers who were the lame ones.

Yeah, I saw that after posting. Shitty on the college kids' part. I don't blame them for trying to swindle cheap tickets as much as I do for going public when caught. Stoopid.

OrangeKrush is a non-profit. Have to do so many community service hours and donations to charity to be apart of it.

It's clever wording from Iowa, group tickets for Iowa are the same no matter what they organization. They're being soft and trying to save face.

Well, we have some conflicting stories here. I don't know which is true, which is why I said "if."
