Still, solid week for Ilinois after last week's preseason NIT debacle.

[SouthSideRyan]

Bizarre game between Illinois and VCU today, which is being played in American Airlines Arena in Miami for some reason, but not televised, and there are barely 100 fans there.

 

It was on CBS Sports Network

Did not expect to go into Rupp and win. Lonzo Ball has been a treat to watch.

I was in Vegas last weekend and got to watch, and bet on, UCLA a few times. They are really good and seem to have a bit of everything, I was able to still bet them at 25/1 to win it all before I left. Which I think is/was really great value. Considering most of the teams you'd think to bet on to win it all (Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc) were under 10/1 and a lot were inside 5/1.

I'll be impressed if an Alford team advances past the Sweet 16.

I think they looked good enough and I put enough down that if they can get to the 8 I should be able to start locking in some decent money betting against them.

it is very weird watching an iowa st offense that is this terrible.

[sneakypower]

teams 22/30 combined *on threes* in first half of UM-UCLA...

Crazy half. its amazing that one team can shoot as poorly as they did at South Carolina and as great as they are tonight.

I watched a bit of the UCLA/Mich game last night. Do I dislike little Alford because I know what jerk his dad is, or is he hatable on his own?

It's daddy.

 

Also UCLA fans hate Bryce because daddy keeps playing him over better players especially considering his lack of defense.

I think he's playing him in a role that is much more representative of his skill this year. Other than Holiday who is he really playing over? And Holiday as the 6th man/offensive minded bench player is a good use of him

I haven't watched a ton of CBB this season, but I don't know how there is a better player than Malik Monk.

Of course he left Arkansas to go to KY.

Is he related to this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Monk

 

I enjoyed watching him dominate garbage time in some shitty preseason game for the Bears that year.

 

Edit: yeah, it's his little brother: http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2015/nov/20/does-marcus-monk-owe-arkansas-anything/

Yeah, Marcus is a former Hog and pretty well schmoozed UA for 3 years before he announced he was going to KY. I never begrudge a kid for leaving the state to play, but it could have been handled better.

i remember when braggin' rights used to be a thing

[Guest]

Actually, Braggin Rights seems to be more of a thing this year than others, recently.

Grayson Allen suspended indefinitely (i.e. until Louisville for tripping another person). What a piece of horsefeathers.

 

In other news this is Grayson Allen as a cat:

Just saw the clip of his trip against Elon. What a wholly unlikable piece of horsefeathers.

Yep, I'm done with John Groce. This team plays too dumb and not nearly hard enough, especially on defense, for him to keep his job. Some pretty pathetic performances already this season, today included.
