OT NCAA Basketball discussion

Didn't take UConn too long to battle back; they now lead by 1 with 10 minutes to go.

UConn is going to hold on. I have a feeling they'll be fired up on Saturday after another poor offensive performance. Gotta run those boys off the three point line.

TJ Warren hits two free throws with 1.5 seconds to tie the game against North Carolina.

Wow, NC St really blew it in OT. Up 6 and lost. Paige is the man.

UNC is one of those teams I'd rather not see in UC's region come March.

#10 St. Louis just lost at home to a 12-15 Duquense team. They are clearly a fraud...

19 straight wins is impressive, but the fact that none were against a ranked team shows that they probably aren't ready for the big boys.

OSU and UK also both had pretty bad losses tonight. OSU at a 13-14 Penn St. team, and UK at home to Arkansas.

They lost at home to Wichita State and on a neutral site against Wisconsin. Those were their two chances for a marquee win. They also had two near losses to George Mason, Lasalle, Duquense.

They are a top 25 team, but in the 20-25 range...not the top 10.

Every ranked team lost tonight except for Louisville so we will defiantly move up 1 spot with the saint Louis loss that is when we win on Saturday.

I'm not sure about others, but I will forever associate SLU basketball with "Spoonball" (Charlie Spoonhour).

I can't hear Saint Louis basketball and not think of Kenyon...

My mind goes straight to Larry Hughes, for some reason. Dude was good. (although I believe he was a one and done)

What about H Waldman and Speedy Claxton?

What about H Waldman and Speedy Claxton?

Waldman was a little before my time (I was around 5-6 when he was at SLU) and it doesn't look like he was all that good anyway. And I'm pretty sure Speedy went to Hofstra?

I confused Claxton with Clagget I think it was. Speedy did go to Hofstra. As for H, that's just what I think of when I hear St Louis basketball. Always thought it a strange name. He wasn't great, but google says he went on to play pro-ball in Israel. FWIW. Those were the early to mid 90's Spoonballers.

Memphis up by 6 at the half...

Go tigas!!

 

[CaptDale]

What happened to BearcatMick? He sure has been scarce.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Geez Harrell is a freaking man, he is what I wish Justin Jackson would be...

 

[UCalum08]

Looeyville is tough. They are doing the same thing to Memphis that they did to us.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Like I was saying, Harrell is the difference. Playing like the senior version of Eric Hicks.

 

[UCalum08]

Hey the refs taking their time to review a play when home team has the momentum. What is Pitno paying these refs? Oh my god....what a terrible call to call a flagrant there.
