You could call a foul with edey every play Legit. He is either fouling somebody or is getting hacked
Both are terrible defensively, and aren't great enough to overcome prolonged shooting slumps against more stout defensive or balanced teams, as we've seen throughout the year.Also bama is worse defensively than Kentucky is and doesn’t have the elite playmakers Kentucky does
Ugh. I just can’t stand Purdue.Agree here. A Purdue loss right now does nothing to their 1 seed line chances. But IL losing helps us tremendously, especially if we win Saturday at UT and take out a couple more in the SECT.
Yeah this would be a massive resume booster for Illinois. Would like to see them jump Puke though.I'm actually pulling for Purdue. If Illinois wins, they could keep us off the three seed line (IF we were to beat UT).
Miami made a final four last year with a worst defense than Kentucky hasBoth are terrible defensively, and aren't great enough to overcome prolonged shooting slumps against more stout defensive or balanced teams, as we've seen throughout the year.
Trends don't bold well for us with how bad our D is.
Puke has no business being No 9. They’re gonna get a damn 2 seed. Watch and see.Yeah this would be a massive resume booster for Illinois. Would like to see them jump Puke though.
Outside the Carsen Edwards run...can't recall ever caring if Purdue won or not. Solid program tho.Ugh. I just can’t stand Purdue.
If EKU wins I’m good with the mid majorsCleveland State up 75-49 in the 1st round of the Horizon tournament I am sure all you were wondering !
Would have should have been a nice feather in our cap to have swept them (and we would now have a top 3 seed locked up in the SEC tournament assuming a Vandy win)Florida is a scary team in the tourney. Solid guards. A good big, and 3 energy guys off the bench, also the potential of kugel
South Florida in a dog fight with Tulane in a must win game to have any chance at an at large bid with a really weak profile
Or if Rob holds his follow through on the ft and puts them up four they win as wellWould have should have been a nice feather in our cap to have swept them (and we would now have a top 3 seed locked up in the SEC tournament assuming a Vandy win)
Sigh just foul up 3 Cal..................
This is true but if they win their next 2 that will be winning their conf by 3+ games that has FAU and Memphis in it and they will have won 22 out of their last 23 games.They have zero chance at an at-large IMO- happy to be proven wrong since they are the hometown team but their schedule was abysmal.
Of if they would passed it to Reed or Reeves for the FT's (can't say that for sure of course but I would felt much better if either of them shot those FT's)Or if Rob holds his follow through on the ft and puts them up four they win as well
That to especially reeves since Reed takes the ball outOf if they would passed it to Reed or Reeves for the FT's (can't say that for sure of course but I would felt much better if either of them shot those FT's)
They better step up down 1 with 50 seconds left in their 1st tournament game.If EKU wins I’m good with the mid majors
Wut?Georgia about to beat Bama putting Arkansas 1 step closer to our possible opponent on Thursday if we end up the 5 seed.
Wow. They are playing a 10 seed too.They better step up down 1 with 50 seconds left in their 1st tournament game.
I believe Kolek is out again for Marquette.I am pulling for Florida, since Alabama is a team we are seed-battling with. And I think they have a good chance. Nelson just doesn't impress me. He's ok, but that's it.
Other "big" games tonight for us I think are:
Purdue at Illinois. Hopefully being a home game, even though Purdue is top 3, an Illinois loss lets us slip ahead of them. Illinois along with Duke and Auburn are the 3 teams ahead of us that just don't make sense. Couldn't believe hearing Lunardi saying Duke could be a 2-seed along with UNC. I mean, yeah maybe if they win their next 5, but otherwise hell no.
K St at Kansas. I know, it's at KU so should be a win. But in rivalry games, you never know.
Then tomorrow:
UConn at Marq. Should be a good game, espeically if that Marq guard can play, but I think they have cemented themselves to at least a 3 seed, but probably a 2.
UT at USC. Had UT beat them at home, I would have given USC a better chance in this game. But I think UT wins, big. But if USC can pull off this upset, and then win at MSU Saturday and do well in the SEC-T, they may be in contention for a 3 seed.
BYU at Iowa St. Hoping BYU can pull off another road win after winning at KU last week. Like USC, they've done well in-conf, but not impressive non-conf, so anything to drop them off the 3-line.
Purdue is going to win. But wow, I hope we play them as the 1!! We would run their guards into dust.
If Arkansas beats lsu tomorrow which they should, they would be tied because they are both losing SaturdayGeorgia about to beat Bama putting Arkansas 1 step closer to our possible opponent on Thursday if we end up the 5 seed.

Braden smith is solid and a gamer, but the other guards are not very goodPurdue is going to win. But wow, I hope we play them as the 1!! We would run their guards into dust.
Georgia has the edge on the tie breaker to be the 11 seed since they beat South CarolinaIf Arkansas beats lsu tomorrow which they should, they would be tied because they are both losing Saturday
