I only care of Indiana, Maryland, or Dayton are close with low majors. Please alert me with this news!

The court in the Bahamas is completely unacceptable. I remember our guys slipping last year there.

Is it just me, or would this game be more satisfying if played in a church hall with a carpeted floor?

I agree with this analysis

[Uncle Rico]

Get to ESPN+, Kean and Delaware State are tied at 64 with 1:42 left

[Uncle Rico]

Delaware State wins 66-64

Thought I'd tune in to catch the end of regulation for USC vs Troy. Game ended up coming down to a 3OT buzzer beater from deep. Absolutely insane game.

Troy's offense also looks so much better than Marquette's it's unreal. Wouldn't be surprised if they bounce someone in the first round of March.

...from 2.5 years ago:

Ps- Terrence brown, FDU. Could make big noise in the future

Now he's playing in the Big 12 and is a top 5 scorer nationally. Playing 80% minutes, some stats: ORtg of 123.1 on Usage of 32%; eFG% of 53.0% is low due to 1/15 3FG start in first four games, but is 7/13 in last two; 23% assist rate; sub-9% turnover rate; 2.8% stl with 1.9 FC/40; 56% FTrate.

Plays on a bad team (Utah) but is super fun to watch. Will push his team to an upset(s) in the Big 12 this year.. you shall see highlights, and can say, 'oh that's another kid Jay Bee was talking about before bro played a college game'

Given that we're not gonna win another game this season, it's OK to root for the Weasels to get their teeth kicked in today, right?

Yes for two hours, we shall stand with the mormons and cheer for them to defeat the morons.

I hope you are wearing your magic Mormon underwear for the game. I'm wearing mine in solidarity with the Mormons.

The Weasel motto: If you suck at basketball, do some flopping.

[MuggsyB]

Nice. Just checked the BYU/Weasel score.

Richie Saunders is absolutely awesome. So controlled, such a smooth operator, finding loose balls. We need to find our Richie Saunders. Just an awesome college basketball player.

Badgers finally play a good team and get smoked.  Its almost like they arent very good, just like a lot of us thought.

They'll be fine.  BYU is very good and might be an offensive juggernaut this year.  Wisconsin should be fine offensively (they can make shots which is helpful) but I don't think they'll be confused by anyone as a very good defensive team.

Sure. But as JTJ3 said, it is funny that they finally play someone better than the Sisters of the Poor and they lose by 644 points. Breaks my heart!

still makes one's day to see Bucky get smoked...  at least for those that have Peacock...

Oh, don't get me wrong.  It's a nice afternoon bonus

That BYU put the game out of reach while the potential #1 overall draft pick was sitting on the bench for 10 minutes made it even nicer.

I also got a kick out of BYU dunking on the Weasels in the final seconds instead of just holding the ball and letting the clock run out.

[CountryRoads]

BYU looked fantastic. Was surprised the spread was only 5 or so (I know BYU was missing a guy or two), but they easily made road kill out of the badgers.

Perhaps we could exchange DMs regarding your understanding of basic math. I hope my pointing this out does not embarrass you, but I have noticed that frequently you have just a slight tendency to exaggerate numbers. For example, Wisconsin lost by 28 points. How did you calculate that they lost by 644 points? And what is a "Bazillion?"

I look forward to your DM on this matter.

28 times a bazillion = 644. Duh!

Now go DM yourself!!
