Nice 96-85 Texas win over LSU too

Baylor is taking a whooping reminiscent of the one MU put on them last year.

[MuggsyB]

Will A&M/Buzz take out Houston?

Do we want Zona or Purdue?

Yes, I think Scott Drew will no longer schedule December games in Michigan. This years game vs MSU, and last year's game at Marquette.

Looking forward to seeing which clueless voters use this game as an excuse to put Michigan St back in the top 25.

Is cheering for teams we've played and lost to (Purdue, Wisconsin) and/or played and beaten (Kansas, Texas) even relevant?  Like, these teams are going pretty assuredly going to be Q1 wins or losses. Saying we beat a probably 1-seed is cool, saying we lost to a 1-seed is fine.

But with MU where its at, does it even matter?

I think it's mostly about moving up in the T25 even though it doesn't mean all that much with seeding in March.

Baylor lol

Again. Resumes matter.

Overrated as sh it

Damn straight.  I mentioned this a few times weeks ago.

It doesn’t make much difference but it’s always fun to take a rooting interest in games that I wouldn’t care about otherwise.

Well played.

That was a long drive getting to that game in the UP last year.

[MuggsyB]

I would like to see UCLA improve their resume.

Ugly ugly game.

[Milkshakes]

I’d love for Buzz to do us a solid and beat Houston. 

[MuggsyB]

Ugly ugly game.

True dat. 

[Tyler COLEk]

Sending condolences to anyone else who tuned in and experienced Buzz's goatee for the first time.

[MuggsyB]

Really surprised Purdue has put up 46 in the 1H on Zona. 

[tower912]

Why?  Purdue is a good team.

So like others said, not a big deal. And I don't root for UW. But as someone else said, it gives me a rooting interest. I especially don't like OSU so want UCLA...doesn't look too promising right now. Rooted for Kansas but then I thought, will we compete with them for a 1? Georgetown over ND because BE resume helps us more I think in long run. Always want to be thought of as a better conference than not.

But biggest game is Tuesday @PV. We have to win all of these away games against even the decent teams.

[MuggsyB]

Why?  Purdue is a good team.

They're really good when Loyer has 18 at the half.   If I was Zona I would ball pressure much more. 

[MuggsyB]

You've gotta hand it to Purdue but I'm totally lost about what Lloyd is trying to do defensively.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  This game has completely flipped.  Somewhat reminiscent of our game vs Purdue in Hawaii. 

[1SE]

It doesn’t make much difference but it’s always fun to take a rooting interest in games that I wouldn’t care about otherwise.

Doesn't really matter but my heuristic is root against any team ranked/NET above us and for any team below

[Uncle Rico]

Purdue might be good
