Mid-pack bloodbath continues with Minnesota beating Rutgers.
Also, Nebraska Ohio State postponed. I didn't see that announced earlier - looks like COVID is in Nebby

ILLINI76 · Jan 22, 2022

Minnesota had only 7 scholarship players for the game.

Looking forward to him, an improved Hawk and Rodgers turning our 4/3 into a strength next year.

Wow guys, Kentucky’s best player got injured and then they started to struggle, who would have thought that was possible?

Please tell me you're not trying to equate playing at Maryland vs. playing against the number 2 team in the country.

Please tell me you’re not discounting what losing 22 and 12 means for a conference road game.

Auburn is good but not dominant. I can’t understand why the talking heads praise Bruce Pearl and never discuss how shady he is. I guess if you don’t talk about it it never happened

Look up the Titus & Tate episode on you-tube where they discuss Auburn and its ascension... they are always vigorous in saying that Pearl is a scumbag, going back to mentioning the Deon Thomas affair... but of course, you are right that most of the media just thinks about who is winning... of course, it is also true that being a scumbag and being a good coach are not mutually exclusive (witness Rick Pitino)

KSU is up late against KU

hoopsfan47 · Jan 22, 2022

First upset of the day was Army...down 27...coming back t beat Navy in OT. Was stunned to find out the two have 51 players on the roster between them.

Then the Missouri State Bears hand #22 Loyola of Chicago their first home loss in 30 games. Isiah Mosley scored 40 for his second time this year...43 against N. Iowa. Coach Ford described him as a "walking basket" who could make any shot at any time....and he has pretty much proven that this year.

As I type, Kansas State leads Kansas by 4 with 3:35 to play in the game.

Being an old Field Artillery Lt., living in Springfield, Mo., and having served at Ft. Riley while living in Manhattan, Ks., this is a pretty good day for an old hoopsfan. Go Wildcats!!

But it was deserved after a horrible day yesterday for a 65 year Illini hoopsfan.

BashCtIllini · Jan 22, 2022

That was some classic Weber unbelievably bad end of the game coaching. I like the guy, but closing out a lead has always been a major weakness for him.

Chieeeeffffff · Jan 22, 2022

Could be worse, folks. Bruce Weber is still snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Major flashbacks watching the end of that game.

L$U looks bad and seems to play dirty

And all of them on scholarship!

DePaul scores only 15 points in second half on their way to 47 points in loss to Creighton.

The Galloping Ghost · Jan 22, 2022

We're dropping out of the top 25, so none of this really matters, but thank freaking goodness Loyola lost. If we're not in the top 25, I sure as heck don't want to see them in there.

We lost to a dumpster. Cannot recall by how much. If that at all matters. (THAT was a bad loss)
