Week of 1/26 Games Thread

[Fighter of the Nightman]

There absolutely has to be a rule written that deals with this TTU/UCF situation. “In situations where it is determined by officials that there is less than one second on the clock and the team with the lead is winning by more than 6 points, there can be a time runoff that ends the game.”

This is so dumb, lol, and hiding behind technically “following the rules” can be avoided by adding a damn rule to address it!

Narrator: They didn't.

They didn't. But i think that one is pretty set in stone as an awesome win at this point.

That said, what a gauntlet they got left. At Arizona, At Iowa State, at BYU and they've already been at Houston.

Just watching Duke and I'm so happy that Dame Sarr's price got too high . . . money was better spent!

agree - maybe we get him for cheaper next year if he's still in college.

If they were following the rules, why didn’t they call a T on UCF?

Quite a first half.

But:

1. At Home
2. He's a Sophomore
3. It's not against that good of a team.

I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone with how hyped up Noah Eagle is as a broadcaster. I think he has such an infuriatingly weird accent that is not based on any geographical location, he just chooses to pronounce and annunciate certain words in super irritating ways.

“And count the BEH-shkit with the FOA-ull for an EHND-one!”

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Tre White shooting 43% on 4 attempts per game from 3.

That spacing and shooting would have been quite the help last year...

TNT analyst’s Rose, Mashburn, Satan we’re talking about the best freshman players in the class and named Peat, Peterson, Wilson, Dybantsa, Boozer, the top 5 and them started talking about the depth and named 3 or 4 more and no mention of Keaton Wagler.

TNT analysts in order: Dislike/ could care less / Loathe entirely

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

45-24 Kansas over BYU.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

It's weird to say because it's BYU. But given the resources spent, is this team not disappointing?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Northwestern might be a fine team by the end of this. No, they’re not making the tournament, but they’re up to 66 in the net (for context, Mizzou is 76).

Big one today against Washington.

 

[AyoDos11]

Indiana finally gets to double digit points at the 8:46 mark lol

And somehow only down 4.

Edit: and now with a 2pt lead. 8-0 run.

And somehow only down 4.

Edit: and now have a 2pt lead. 8-0 run.

both teams really struggling to score

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

BYU’s beaten no one. Their best win is Clemson — game they trailed by 21 at half and needed a buzzer beater to win.

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Who’s the sixth best team in the big ten? I think right now it’s the winner of this IND-UCLA game.

ESPN just did the same thing. Brady Bunch grid of 8 great freshmen, minus Wagler. To his credit, Jay Bilas mentioned the oversight and talked about how good Wagler has been.

It's not an oversight when it happens more often than not

I was just looking at their schedule and the best I can say is that they only lost to UConn and AZ by a few points.

Arizona they were completely dominated for 99% of the game. That ending was the most insane thing I’ve seen this year (other than Keaton’s game @Purdue).

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

Just wanted to say belatedly, Tom Izzo is a b---h.

As you were.
