Louisville with a whopping 13 points at halftime

 

[DICKnaggie]

Louisville with 13 points in the first half vs. Virginia. Man, that is ugly.

 

[RockfordIllini]

So Houston is legit again. Maybe the only team I’ve watched so far that really scares me. I wish we played defense like that. We have the athletes.

 

[kyillinifan]

They are terrible. Living in Louisville Uof L is a joke.

Louisville with a whopping 13 points at halftime

How is it possible to be that bad ?

 

[BretMyBeachHouse]

You're Louisville. You're at home. A firing at half time could be justified.

The skyy is the limit!!

4 conference games today to go along with ours. Here is who to root for in terms of NET rankings.

Nebraska @ Maryland - you could root for Nebraska to get in the top 30 (currently 47) to give us another Q1 game at home, but I don't see that happening. Need Maryland to get into the top 75 (currently 93) to get rid of that Q3 loss.

Iowa @ Michigan - could root for Michigan to get into the top 75 (currently 96), but they are a dumpster fire. So I'm rooting for Iowa to stay in the top 75 (currently 64). We still play them twice and it would be great to rack up Q1 and Q2 wins.

Minnesota @ Penn St - doesn't matter.

tOSU @ Northwestern - really need both teams to stay in top 75. Ohio St is in a free fall down to 57. Northwestern is at 69 and has been hovering around that 75 line for most of the season.

Ok. I don’t get how MSU is looked so favorably in the NET compared to Maryland
MSU has the better resume but is it 70 spots (23 vs 93) spots better. I would say MD should be around 65-70 and MSU around 40-45

This list doesn’t include MD game against Nebraska

MSU has a top 10 SOS but MD is top 50

Quad 1
2-7 best win neutral court Baylor
2-4 best win against us

Quad 2
2-1
0-2

Quad 3/4
8-0
10-2

 

[BackThatPassUp]

RJ Melendez is cooking!!! He's got 28 with 2 minutes. Georgia is down to Florida 80-85.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

The skyy is the limit!!

Lol

 

[JSpence]

6 seconds left in OT against Florida, Melendez up to 35 points.

 

[HailtotheChief]

As far as B10 goes the Badgers have a favorable schedule not having to play the Illini, NW or surging Maryland on the road. They are gonna be tough to catch
We gotta beat em in Wisconsin and hold home court. As for as this weekend go Rutgers and Buckeyes.

Your are welcome for the set up line )

 

[WeWillWhen]

I caught the 2nd half. RJ was unconscious. Has to be the best game of his career, if not life. Good for him.

Love to see it, really wish it had been in a win.

Georgia's bench had 62 of their 98 points today (in 115 of their 225 minutes).

 

[azillini1]

Iowa State beating Kansas in 2nd half... 46 to 35

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

RJ is 26-38 from the floor & 9-16 from 3 his past 4 games.

 

[thefalcon5]

RJ is 26-38 from the floor & 9-16 from 3 his past 4 games.

He’s also shooting under 25% from three on the year.

Really the only transfer out that I think would play somewhat meaningful minutes is Epps. Hes shooting well on volume and distributing it too.

 

[azillini1]

Kansas losses to Iowa State

 

[Chad Fleck]

RJ is 26-38 from the floor & 9-16 from 3 his past 4 games.

Super happy to see RJ do better.

 

[jumpingjack]

Let's go, Clemson

 

[illiniswish09]

Won’t be surprised if Ohio State wins in Evanston tonight

 

[azillini1]

Illini win an ugly game and Satan/Auburn lose their 2nd game of the week. Makes our performance today seem OK

 

[jumpingjack]

Huge bailout call with 15 seconds left for Duke

 

[jumpingjack]

Wow. Duke getting Duke calls.
