Phog could be an interesting read.

Blue Jays are giant killers 2 years straight.

Lmao....elite court storm preparedness in Omaha

Watching AJ Storr brick shots for Kansas makes me feel our coaches made good decisions this past summer.

I don't think they made the decision. It always seemed like Storr did. Yes, we decided not to give him what he wanted, but by all appearances, we wanted him. I never saw the attraction so I definitely feel vindicated.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

if some of these scores hold, we could be top 15 maybe top 12 next week hosting #1 Tennessee.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

First media timeout between Oregon and USC. Each team is 1 of 7 from the field. Tied at 2 with 15:45 to go.

Is it wrong while I’m watching Duke / Auburn to root for injuries?

If it's injuries to the coaches, then no.

All that matters is Beat The Nerds! (Pound table)

Didn’t watch game; how does Hunter only take 4 shots in 25 minutes?

Only took until the 5th game of the night for the ACC to be in a close game with an SEC team. Texas still up 2 with 20 seconds left.

I'm still praying for that meteor strike I asked for earlier . . .

 

[mysterio2525]

If it's injuries to the coaches, then no.

Injuries to the egos of the players and fanbases, then no

Lol that meme never gets old everytime I see it.i get a good laugh

For all the hype Flagg has gotten, there’s nothing he does on the court that wows me. He’s very fundamentally sound and he will be a productive NBA player, but I don’t think he’s on the level of a Lebron, Jokic, Durant type of transcendent player like he’s hyped as.

 

[Piotyr]

Duke holds on to beat #2 Auburn, resulting in a SEC 14, ACC 2 challenge, and also paving the way for Tennessee to be ranked #1 next week when Illinois plays them (and keeping Duke near the top for an anticipated February matchup).

 

[blife]

Oregon looking nothing like an 8-0 team. Maybe it is a clunker for them, but not looking good

 

[ChiefKingfisher]

Tennessee is pretty much guaranteed to be #1 when we play them now. Also, lots of teams ahead of us losing this week, and it’s only Wednesday. Could move up big in the rankings if we win on Friday.

 

[kyillinifan]

We have to come sharp Friday after being off for a week.

[Second place is 1st loser]

22 points
11 Rebounds
4 Assists
3 Steals
2 Blocks

He's 17 years old, playing arguably the best team in the country, being the focal point of their game plan and still delivering.

I enjoy seeing Duke lose as much as the next guy, but that kid has the weight of the world on his shoulders and he just handles it.

Oddly, when he was practicing with Team USA before the Olympics, it was Durant and LBJ that went out of their way to give him his flowers.

 

[Chillinini]

Eff Auburn and Satan. His man boobs can bite it.

 

[Oranges]

Just need the boys to take care of business against the kitty cats and Wisky first

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Good God, DePaul shoots the three well. They're shooting 40% from three as a squad and when they need one, they get it. They're going to lose more than they win this year, but they're infinitely better than they were and much more watchable.

Agree, especially as to “watchable.” Turned on game and they were already down 14-0, and I thought “here we go again.” But they battled back and were fun to watch. I only watched about first 8 or 9 minutes of second half, and they weren’t as good. But still a much better watch than last year.
