Iowa only up by 3. Tight game

 

[whatahack]

K State losing at home to Fort Hays State 35 to 29 at halftime. Weber may not make it through the year.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Luka is the beneficiary of some really weak calls this half.

 

[kyillinifan]

He will get those calls all year.

 

[CHEEF]

As much as I hate both North Carolina and Iowa, this is a fantastic game

 

[LostinNebraska]

He will get those calls all year.

I don't disagree. Still hate it.
Tarheels imploding with turnovers now.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Iowa gives the Big a win.

K State down 16 to some team called Fort Hays State that's 0-3 against D2 teams

 

[Ga65]

Liddell would sure have solved our problem at the 4. Looking great!

[Miles Leonard]

Someone get that gif of Bruce Weber throwing a basketball and blowing up the K State program

 

[FightingIllini40]

Sorry K State fans, we warned you

[TheAngryBavarian]

There is one other team worth hating more...and we play them on Saturday.

 

[Ramrod2010]

So Penn State is going to be good too this year.

Fort Hays State wins. Up by 21 at one point. Good job BW.

Kansas St lost to Fort Hays by 13 at home.

Today's going to be a good day for Basketball. I'll be watching:
#8 Creighton @ #5 Kansas 4:00 ESPN , #16 North Carolina @ #3 Iowa 6:30 ESPN , and capping it off with the main event, #6 ILLINOIS @ #10 Duke 8:30 ESPN

Regarding the B10/ACC challenge games I predict 5-2 in favor of the B10 with the following outcomes:
Purdue @ Miami 4:00 ESPN2 - Purdue LOSE 64-70
Boston College @ Minnesota 6:00 ESPNU - Minnesota WIN 81-70
#22 Ohio State @ Notre Dame 6:30 ESPN2 - Ohio State WIN 71-68
#16 North Carolina @ #3 Iowa 6:30 ESPN - Iowa WIN 85-83
Penn State @ #15 Virginia Tech 8:00 ESPNU - Penn State LOSE 63-75
Syracuse @ #21 Rutgers 8:30 ESPN2 - Rutgers WIN 75-72
#6 ILLINOIS @ #10 Duke 8:30 ESPN - ILLINI WIN 76 - 70

Also, I'll be honest - the Illinois game is the one I'm the least confident in the outcome of.

Well Penn State surprised me! Good showing by the B10 today but not too surprised!

He got what he wanted, which was to play big minutes on a mediocre team where he could jack 12+ shots a game. Can't blame him if his goal is to showcase himself for the next level. Not sure how well that would fit on our squad this year though and we are stacked at guard anyways.

Liddell otoh would fit like a glove and make us Gonzaga/Baylor level but it is what it is.

 

[AirNeezy]

Iowa can't play defense to save their lives and needed a school record # of threes to beat a good but not amazing UNC squad.

Not afraid of them at all to be quite honest.
