College Basketball 14-15

[snoodmonger]

The Big 12 is just a bunch of pretty good teams that will be lucky to get to the second weekend.

[abuck1220]

yep. up 12 with the ball and 10 min left and you lose to a foster-less kstate team. sounds like a team that won't get past the first weekend.

 

iowa st is a scorer short and they were counting on dejean-jones to be that guy. first whiff by hoiberg on the transfer market. 0-4, 0 points in like 12 minutes today.

[kujay]

Hawks win ugly and lose ugly.

[bukie]

Today, Illinois looks like a dangerous team.

Who knew a team that averages 80 points a game and has 6 players averaging double figures in points would be a scorer short.

And then there is Texas. From an outsiders perspective is Texas even an attractive basketball job? Arena kind of sucks, plenty of recruits but most of them go out of state. Excited to get a new coach regardless.

Looks like a #1 seed could have just opened up with Gonzaga losing

He only got 12? Damn.

 

What was Niang doing with arms up in the air for like 15 seconds after he threw that ball away? What did anyone else do wrong there?

Of course it is. People have argued that it could be THE best job or at least an elite one. Tons of resources, tons of talent, you'll get paid a ton and you won't have the pressure you'd have at UNC/KU/UK/Duke, etc. Downside is you don't have the support you'd have at other elites. Flip side, you don't have the pressure/accountability you'd have at those places.

[shnsajax]

The lack of pressure and accountability is what has lead to Barnes demise.

There's no talk about the embarrassing home-cooked whistle swallowing at the end of the KU Texas game? I guess its not surprising at all. That guy was absolutely mugged in the lane down 2 with 12 seconds left.

[Guest]

Why is everyone still being weird about a regular season game from 2 days ago?

 

We're you expecting anything more from illini fans?

 

They are still stuck on something from 1980s

Oh [expletive] whodis?

The officiating was terrible the whole game. I'll take that one as payback for juwan Staten getting to run to the basket from half court without dribbling and lay it in against us.

 

 

On a side note, Illinois really dodged a bullet with Cliff Alexander. Not only has he been really erratic all season, now his eligibility is up in the air.

Purdue is the #1 free throw shooting team in the B1G. At OSU we were outshot 35-13. At Wisconsin it was 31-7. Honestly what the [expletive] can you do?

Sadly we're 11th in FT shooting percentage. Not in attempts.

[hawkeyecub]

Sounds like Hartman is out for IU tomorrow. Should be a fast paced, high scoring game. If Iowa can pull it off it should make them a lock and give a great shot at the double bye as long as they don't [expletive] the bed at home against Northwestern on Saturday.

[abuck1220]

lol rick barnes, nice final shot.

[abuck1220]

full steam ahead on an iowa st end of season collapse. wow.

[CubInOK]

Then Kelvin Sampson started coaching OU again.

Wow. Thanks for this cyclones.

[snoodmonger]

Boy, ISU was KU's best friend this last week. Lost 2 games to allow KU to keep a one game lead in the conference, then beat OU to ensure we get a share of the title. Thanks Clones!

[abuck1220]

18 pts in first half, 59 in second half.

 

iowa st has played three of the weirdest games I've ever seen in the last 6 days. college kids...

[abuck1220]

22-0 run after cousins' technical. thanks dummy.

OU has to be absolutely kicking themselves. What a collapse. I didn't see the game. Did the kid deserve the tech that kicked off the run?
