BYU ends No. 7 Kansas' 19-game home win streak, 76-68
Dallin Hall and Jaxson Robinson scored 18 points apiece as BYU rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat seventh-ranked Kansas 76-68, ending the Jayhawks’ 19-game home winning streak in their first matchup as Big 12 foes.
I probably WOULD hate to see Kentucky as a FOUR or FIVE seed in Illinois's bracket (with us the other).
That was former Beaver Jarod Lucas. He had a rough second half. Think he was 1 of 9 from field in half before hitting the game winner. He did finish with 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and only one turnover. So not too shabby. But love to see him get the redemption.I didn't but my friends told me about it. 90% free throw shooter misses 3 of last 4... Only to make a 44ft 3 point shot to win it.
I have been really contemplating, now that we are preparing for our annual Family Tournament with our own made up special rules and bets. I have decided it really does not matter what seed we end up with. I am willing to guess that any team we would be afraid to match up with, is also afraid to match up with the Illini.

A win vs Minnesota coupled with a Maryland win would put us in good shape for a Top 2 finish in the B10 this year
Add a Michigan State win over Purdue and the roller coaster hits a crazy turn.

Last night during the Texas @ Texas Tech game, Brock Cunningham body checked a Tech player out of bounds resulting in an ejection and Tech fans throwing trash onto the court. https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/s/0bkaDJyLJo
If that happens, it would take a complete meltdown by us and a complete uptick by others to not be in the top 4.

That's quite a hip check Cunningham threw.
The hurling of water bottles and trash onto the court would be considered demure garden party behavior at an English Premier League game c. early '90s. Talk about rough crowds.
Hard to say if he was being a jerk or just being way too aggressive after a loose ball but a hard foul in any event.
Honestly kind of love that Kentucky team. Dillingham, Big Z, Reed Sheppard, all fun to watch

Xavier-DePaul is one of the games on my YouTube quad screen, but I don’t have the volume on that game. I thought to myself, “Hey, it’s 6:20, DePaul should be down 12 by now.” CLOSE!! It’s 16-6 Xavier.
This Northwestern/Maryland game is very reminiscent of a game I wish I could forget.
Gosh where are the Md. fans. Lot of empty seats.

They’re a fickle base. 7 pm tip on a weeknight in DC and they’re under .500.
but they might sneak into the 2 seed for the tourney. Their remaining schedule is not nearly as tough as the others' at the top.
By doing the exact opposite of what NW is doing to them. Double Reese and he wilts. Keep Young in front of you and he can't torch you all night.
