Good slate of games, should all be interesting day one games aside from UAB/Wisconsin

Pray for gtown....

Pray for gtown....

Pray for the Gators,

They have much, much more to lose and they aren't looking too good as of late. An upset is likely, and that'll likely drop Dlorida from the rankings for a while if it were to happen.

Georgetown really has nowhere to go but up

 

[tabascojet]

Hard to look too good with three starters on the bench. Not sure if carter smith and walker are back for this game but I wouldn't be surprised if gtown was the favorite.

 

[elijah]

Butler's offense is moving the ball really well to start the game. If they can keep getting the open 3's, they'll make this a damn good game.

 

[tabascojet]

What channel you watching on?

 

[elijah]

It's on ESPN2

Pray for gtown....

Not the way Florida has looked thus far.

 

[elijah]

Butler isn't slowing down, looking extremely good. 55-45 with 9 minutes to go, would be a huge win for the Big East

UNC actually sucks ass.


Not surprised they are losing. But didn't think Butler would own them.

 

[Jim Rome is Flaming]

Wow, UNC looks terrible.

So true though. They are always tough out of conference. Whether in the non conference or tourney.

Last year they were pretty f'ing bad but played some tight non con games before tanking in Big East play.

In the Horizon league they would lose a head scratcher or two and play some tight games vs bad teams...but make March runs.

Capable of playing up to competition. And I really don't see UNC as a top 5 team probably even top 10. People are banking on Paige being a unanimous player of year with that ranking.

 

[elijah]

I don't understand all the love for UNC, they've given us reason after reason not too trust them. So, why are we going too?

Paige just looked awful on that possession, too uncontrolled.

 

[podsox]

im expecting an entertaining up and down game between Oklahoma and UCLA

 

[jontaejones]

Whoa. Big East represent!!!

Roy gave 12 players minutes today. Maybe they're just burnt from all that class time and homework ?

I missed the game but how the hell do you dominate 10:1 shotblocking, but get out-rebounded by 13 boards? Too many 2nd chance opportunities for Butler?

Honestly, I think it's as simple as Butler's players had a better understanding of how to take the angles to get the rebounds.

Very impressed with Oklahoma early on.
