Good slate of games tonight. OU/UNC, of course the Baylor game, Nova/Creighton, Bama/Zona, Northwestern/AzState.
-
Seton Hall beat UConn by 15 tonight.

I don’t think Bilas is bad at all. Have never minded listening to him. Knowledgeable, professional.
bad tonight his favoritism was very obvious. most of the time ok but not tonight
-
@jayballer67 I generally like Bilas, but he’s a Dukie and it shows through from time to time.
-
Confirmation bias.
-
Bad night to be ranked Big East team as Villanova also knocked off Creighton tonight.
Oklahoma is no longer undefeated after losing to UNC.
There are now only 3 undefeated teams left in CBB. Houston, James Madison, and Ole Miss.
-
And Seton Hall beating UConn, Radford beating WV, these pre-holiday upsets should be a warning to our guys. That Temple beat down years ago still stings, so I hope KU doesn’t take Yale lightly.
-
@stoptheflop Bill gave Furphy the night off, so I don’t think the team exactly has this one circled. Definitely could be a trap game in the Christmas lul (asu comes to mind), but I don’t think this team tolerates losing. They seem to hate losing more than they love winning - a good thing in my book.
-
@dylans - I’m really glad KU isn’t playing the standard road game just before Christmas. Seems like KU has lost several against lesser teams.
IIRC, the team could play for player’s flights to home towns after such a road game. I suppose with the advent of NIL money, it’s no longer a big deal.
-
Watching TCU vs Old Dominion in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic. Udeh is again getting significant playing time.
-
@Gorilla72 Is Udeh doing anything with his time tonight? His season averages are not great.
-
@dylans - 6pts, 4 rebounds 2 assists in 17 min. Looked slow and was beat offf the dribble several times when forced to guard outside. Dixon keeps starting him although his backup looks pretty good. And O’Bannon had 25 off the bench.
-
I suspect that that was the deal promised to him and his mentor to start, but did not specify the majority of minutes. Dixon is upholding his part of the agreement. He is the starter with the least amount of minutes on the team.
-
Zuby Ejiofor at St John’s is not starting but getting almost 11 minutes per game. Averaging 4.0 pts, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Also, 2 fouls and 0.7 turnovers per game.
-
Some guy on Maryland had a line of 0 points, 0 boards, 0 blocks, you get the idea, and 5 fouls.
-
I honestly wish one of them stayed but I got ridiculed pretty hard on here for saying neither one was ready to be a major contributor at a power school. Looking like a very true statement, tho I think they both will be good players by the time they are thru.
-
@kjayhawks would they if they never see any time but mop up mins? Hunter could stay. I don’t think they improve if they don’t get valuable time and I wanted to see them developed.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think they would get 10-12 minutes a game, Braun probably wouldnt be here tho.
-
@kjayhawks hey did you know the ag teacher that died from your school? So sad!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not personally but yes very sad deal
-
@kjayhawks so young! So many deadly wrecks on that rd. I take that way to Lawrence.
-
FAU and Arizona coming down to the wire in Vegas.

Going to OT tied at 73 after FAU tied it with 7 seconds left.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Been out all day for family matters and just got home, looked at ESPN for scores and saw that. Shocker, but of course I’m still trying to get used to the idea of them being a national power in basketball. In a strange kind of way this validates their run to the FF last year.
-
Watching that FAU vs Arizona game, man we just look so unathletic compared to top teams right now.

ya I’ve thought the same. Even though Arizona got beat I think they would give us ALL kinds of trouble,-- I also think Kentucky is really improves, gonna be if not close to thee now gotten a lot better, just quick athletic - -Another team that if we played now would give us fits - - -Deep bench, of course anybody has a deep bench compared to us lol… Still like our group though , just afraid gonna get really wore down later.
-
Haha, just saw that Arizona lost again.
-
@wissox love how everyone just thinks they are going to come in here and dominate us and the conference next season.
-

Dam Serious ? -I hadn’t seen that , who did they lose to ? - - Read an article where some and I think it’s a pre mature for this , but some saying they don’t think Gonzaga will even make the tourney, I have my doubts about that but they are 9-4 right now
-
@jayballer67 Lost on the road by 18 to Stanford.
-
@kjayhawks is anyone really thinking that? Youd think they would learn.

WOW sTANFORD ? -WHAT THE HECK
-
@jayballer67 Then Haase told his team to enjoy it, will be their biggest win of the year.
️ never admit you won the Super Bowl. 
-
@dylans that seems like smart reverse psychology to me.
-
Watching the Indiana @ Nebraska game. Hoiberg has them playing well!
-
@Gorilla72 They play Wisconsin next. First tough game Nebby has all year. Their schedule strength is bottom barrel.
-
In the first 8 minutes, both NC and Clemson have played 9 players. That seems like a lot of subs so early in the game. Many teams aren’t playing 9 during an entire game
-
Not only are the officials bad sometimes, but announcers playing officials can be worse.
Watching a minute of NC vs Clemson.
Carolina guard drives right side of lane, guarded closely, extends his left arm and elbows the defender in the gut. Defender goes down. Refs call a defensive foul. As they show the replay with dudes’s elbow clearly extended and whacking the dude in the gut…the announcer is like Yes, that’s a good call. If the offensive player would have extended his elbow, that would be offensive. But he didn’t, and kept his arm tucked.
I’m like, huh?
-
Kentucky & Florida up and down the floor, pretty good game
-
Looks like UCF will start their Big12 membership 0-5. Being blown out by K-State tonight, followed by games against 4 Top 25 Big12 teams. KU @ UCF Wednesday. It will be a nice respite from the cold for KU men.
-
Ou isu is really good! Espn+

UCf just looked God Awful
-
BYU, computer favorite, loses at home to Cincy. The NET moved them down 1 spot from 3 to 4 for their loss.
-
KU moved down for winning yet again. LOL
-
Big 12 currently sitting at 9 teams inside the top 40 of the NET rankings and 5 teams currently in the top 15.
Iowa St. is the team that baffles me the most as far as its NET ranking. They are sitting at 12th, just one spot behind KU and we’re in the top 10 before their loss to Oklahoma yesterday. They’ve only played 5 games against non Quad 4 teams are just 2-3 in those games.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 There’s so many oddities in it. Bama it says is 0-5 against quad 1 teams but is ranked 6th in their rankings apparently because they scheduled tough teams I guess.
-
ISU and Houston tied. It’s now a 36 second game.
-
ISU freshman coming up big. Wow. Welcome to the B12 Houston.
-
ISU wins the last 36 seconds and the game! Welcome to the Big12, Cougs.
-
I think Houston is gonna get woke up a bit this season. Sorry playing on the road at Rice, Wichita state and Tulane ain’t Jack compared to the road in this conference.
