Barves down 8 at half to the Redbirds

Wardle don't want to come home, what is his Willard Bradley nickname?

[tower912]

How many tries to figure out Wardle?

I don't remember who it was that said they'd love to get Mizzou in a second round matchup. Count me as a hard, hard pass on wanting that.

39 pts in 13 mins is pretty good.  That team is explosive.

Coaching Changes on X is saying Anthony Grant is rumored to retire at the end of the season and Wardle is a primary focus to replace him at UD.

And he will beat his Alma Mater next year

You dont even attempt to hide your live for Red on here.

Viper is actually jealous of his brother in law.

Can we get a #worried at least.

Too worried about how bad of a matchup Wisconsin is for Marquette.

[MuggsyB]

Something has to be done about the review system for college hoops. I think they need to go to the challenge like the NBA.

So long as Chase plays, it is a fine matchup.

[GoldenEagles03]

Caleb Grill playing for Mizzou...like the same crazy kid that got kicked off the team at Iowa State?

Is this like his 7th or 8th season?

[PGsHeroes32]

I cant be anymore clear on this

If you want to make money. Whether you gamble normally or not

Just bet mass amounts on the over in Alabama games. Its the most fun betting youll ever have.

Sears is on fire.

I checked Team Rankings and it says they are 13-11-1 when betting the over. Is that right?

I have no idea. I might be really lucky but I've done it on like 7 of their conference games recently and I've hit every time.

Could also depend on some lines(even tho mine usually clear by a ton) today I got 150.5 and I see a lot of people saying 153

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Switched to Ark/Auburn and Mizzou went from +6 to +15 in like two mins. 

[rocky_warrior]

The one constant. Pounding overs in Bama games.

Haha.  Indeed.  Good tip.  I even took over 173.5 in this one.  No problem, lol

[MU82]

Tonje for UW is what, 24, 25? All their big guys are true or 5th yr seniors. I mentioned here prior that Tonje could ball and RED signing him was big for Gard after losing Hepburn...but it's not just that. He's experienced. Doesn't get rattled. I've noticed the same w/Auburn. Their game at 'Bama? Took the crowd out for the most part. Contrast to Duke. They start 3 fresh, I believe. I don't see Duke going deep for two reasons...ACC is a mirage. Weak. And, experience (age) at tourney time is huge.

Duke will have the best player on the floor in every NCAAT game they play, and lots of other real good players, too. And they'll be 35 games in. They did just lose a rotation player to injury, though.

So we'll see.

[MU82]

Gates called TO with 1.5 seconds left in Mizzou's win over Bama so he could get on a microphone and tell fans to not rush the court.

And the fans listened.

[MuggsyB]

Missouri is not a team you want to run with. 

[wisblue]

Maybe they should study more data before answering.

You can't really tell from this article how much actual data there is to support a conclusion relating to fouling up by 3 with 10-20 seconds left in the game. He says that there were some cells in his graph where there were no actual game results that fit them.

Also, if the difference between expected win percentage for the two strategies is just a couple of points, I would think a coach would want to rely on how he feels about his own team and his opponents that day.

Man if that happens, Reeker will be so unhappy.

[Uncle Rico]

Terrible loss for Bradley last night at Illinois State.  The Barves drop to third in the Valley and probably lose a spot in Milwaukee.

St. Thomas also lost.  The Tommies loss dropped them into a tie for first with UNO in the Summit.  South Dakota shakes things up by holding serve at home against St. Thomas and puts a dagger into them playing in Milwaukee next month.

Thanks, Wingdings.  I will be.  Marquette will regret not bringing Wardle home.
