Week of 1/6 Games & News Thread

[derrick6]

We should have beaten Tennessee.

We pissed that one away.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Pitt about to get destroyed, will get destroyed at cameron. duke should honestly run the table the acc is so bad

good news is that if they do, we'll have another opportunity against No. 1.... and a relatively unproven one.

Tonight's slate of games might be more intriguing than Saturday's.

Tennessee @ Florida
Pitt @ Duke
Kentucky @ Georgia
Arizona @ West Virginia
Clemson @ Louisville
Cincy @ Baylor
Nebraska @ Iowa
Auburn @ Texas
Texas Tech @ BYU
SMU @ UNC
Michigan @ UCLA

That's 11 games with NCAA tournament implications for both teams. (well, except for Iowa )

Well, the games have stunk so far.

Georgetown is up 9 on Marquette at the half, in Milwaukee.

Not a dykes fan but at the end of blowout loss to Florida / said before tonight Tennessee’s win at Illinois was the best win this cbb season

We just got a nice compliment at the end of this clunker for Tennessee, announcer said he thought Tennessee had the best win in college basketball when they beat us, and that we were the best team in the Big 10.

[AyoDos11]

Iowa's paint defense is not good

 

[kyillinifan]

Watching Ia.vs Nb. Ia. Def is terrible and just out of synch against Nb.

 

[Chillinini]

Tenn gets spanked. KY close to losing. Here is hoping Satan gets destroyed next.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Nebraska's a good team.

 

[whatahack]

What's happened to Xavier...lost at home to st johns

 

[mysterio2525]

Is Nebraska good? I don't even think mast has played this year and I like his game. I just have hard time buying into a team with Connor essegian playing a big part being good

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Arizona just beat the crap out of West Virginia on the road despite Steph Curry suiting up in place of Sencire Harris.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Marquette just winning the same exact way damn near every game against bad Big East teams. Down at half, blitz and blowout in 2nd half.

Auburn is a much better team than TN

He is injured for the year

What's happened to Xavier...lost at home to st johns

St. John's was favored, I believe. They're a top 25ish team.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Mizzou up 31-17 on LSU with 5 to go in the first half

 

[NarrowJ]

Auburn, Duke and Alabama are the 3 best teams I've watched this year

Florida looks great also, just beat #10 & #1

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Peacock can't even show a replay correctly. For those who hate ESPN, the Peacock broadcast is comically bad.

The refs just missed a blatant double dribble on Iowa with 10 seconds left in the game.

 

[kyillinifan]

The Santefort kid gas gone nuts from 3.

 

[TheodoreRex]

We are significantly more talented and tougher than Iowa. Their defense is awful.

 

[battle]

Horrible turnover by NB and the blind refs miss the double dribble. 7 secs left

 

[From the cheap seats]

Watching TN and KY on the road, I have even more appreciation for what the Illini did on the west coast trip. The road is rugged.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Tennessee is 7-47 from the field.

Jordan Gainey, the hero against us, only shot 1/11.
