Big Sky Championship
No Colorado (25-8, 15-3) vs
Montana (24-9, 15-3)

That's the marquee matchup we coveted.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Welcome to the Dance Party.
Patriot--American (22-12)
Southland--McNeese (27-6)

 

[PhilSimms11]

Oklahoma (20-12) defeats Georgia (20-12) 81-75. Word is that gets OU in. It plays Kentucky (21-10) next.

Very happy for coach Moser.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Could these two be related?

[TheGoodMan19]

Oregon slaughters Indiana. Did we hear a bubble burst

BYU takes out Iowa State. They look good

The CBB would looks to Cooper Flagg's ankle. The 2nd UNC game showed that Duke isn't the same without him

 

[redseat]

Duke needs to worry about Flagg and Brown's health.

 

[redseat]

Duke actually played better without him today.

But to be fair with him in they were 0-12 beyond the arc

 

[TheGoodMan19]

But to be fair with him in they were 0-12 beyond the arc

I was watching mighty St. Bonaventure beat the lowly Duquesne. VCU gets a thrashing next

 

[TheGoodMan19]

This Marquette-Xavier game is a hoot. Both teams trading blows

 

[PhilSimms11]

HOLY SHIT!
Kentucky 85, Oklahoma 84
Oh well. Wildcats damn near choked. That was too easy of a path for Oweh at the buzzer.

 

[TheGoodMan19]

The Louisville-Stanford game was a heartbreaker for the Cardinal (not the Cardinals). Stanford clawed its way back to tie and got a defensive rebound with two seconds left. Louisville defender knocks the ball away, right to the wide open Chucky Hepburn, their best player. Who sinks the game winner.

HOLY SHIT!
Kentucky 85, Oklahoma 84
Oh well. Wildcats damn near choked. That was too easy of a path for Oweh at the buzzer.

They had a little help. Did you see the continuation basket the refs allowed for Fears? No flagrant call on Carr being midair and thrown to the ground? And maybe the worst, Carr getting mugged by 3 guys trying to intentionally foul him that became a turnover? Ball don't lie
