Unfortunately they lost their second leading scorer and possibly best player in January, this one will be tough...

Definitely their best player. He was at Kansas for the summer going into his frosh year but realized he wasn't gonna play, so he came back to Chicago. Very good all-around player. He has a sweet last name too...

Oh dang, Milton Doyle is back now. That's a game changer.

Didn't know that, did he play last night?

Didn't know that, did he play last night?

He came off the bench for 21 minutes. The game before that he played 9 minutes in his return.

In other news, the Cincinnati women's team was really close to pulling the upset over Connecticut losing 93-34.

Lasalle beats dayton

I'm not sold Dayton has 100% clinched

What a finish! What was Kansas doing there on defense? Wow. Good game.

This UVA/Louisville game has been great. Louisville just went up 1 on a jumper by Mathiang with 2.5 to go after a 3 by UVA down 2 right before it.

Poor Murray State...they had their 25 game win streak snapped and they are now likely going to the NIT.

They freaking had it too! What a day in college basketball.

The Ivy is always fun. I really like that they do not have a conference tournament but instead a one game playoff at the Palestra in Philly if there is a tie. I know conferences get a lot of money to put on a tournament for tv purposes but it is more beneficial for the league to get in a team that actually can win a game. Hell, I remember when Cornell made the Sweet 16 in 2010, it almost swayed my decision enough to go to school there!

Illinois State off to a fiery start!

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Redbirds up 13!
