Who was the genius who decided to schedule a Baylor home basketball game vs Arizona when their football team could have potentially been playing in the Big 12 football championship?

 

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

12/7 recap (Part 1: Top 25 results)

Who was the genius who decided to schedule a Baylor home basketball game vs Arizona when their football team could have potentially been playing in the Big 12 football championship?

Well, look on the bright side! At least Baylor defeated Arizona in that home game! Oh, and since I'm already here let's look at the rest of the rankings.

Kansas over Colorado 72-58
Maryland over Illinois 59-58 (Maybe the best game of the entire season so far!)
Ohio State over Penn State 106-74
Memphis over UAB 65-57
Butler over Florida 76-62
Villanova over Saint Joseph's 78-66
Utah State over San Jose State 77-70 in OT

Indiana vs. Wisconsin - Game Summary - December 7, 2019 - ESPN And I know that neither of these teams are ranked, but DAMN! I didn't see this type of result coming.

 

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

12/14 recap (Part 2: Games outside of the rankings)

And now, let's look at the big results from outside the Top 25. Pack a sandwich:

Indiana State over Wright State 84-77 in OT
Boston College over Notre Dame 73-72 (BC is 2-0 in the ACC right now)

Xavier over Cincinnati 73-66
Santa Clara over California 71-52
Navy over Marist 53-51 in OT

Missouri over Temple 64-54
Marquette over Kansas State 73-65

December 8th and 9th

12/8 and 12/9 recap

My apologies for not updating sooner; I was too busy trying to figure out why I thought the Outback Bowl [Auburn vs. Minnesota] was more appealing than the Rose Bowl [Oregon vs. Wisconsin]. That process is still ongoing, by the way. So, here's what happened in the CBB world over the last 2 days:

Sunday:

Air Force Reserve Jerry Colangelo Classic:
Saint Louis over Tulane 86-62
Dayton over Saint Mary's 78-68
Liberty over Grand Canyon 70-61​

Other big games:
Virginia over North Carolina 56-47
Gonzaga over Washington 83-76
Iowa State over Seton Hall 76-66
Florida State over Clemson 72-53
San Diego State over San Jose State 59-57
Houston over South Carolina 76-56
Wichita State over Oklahoma State 80-61
Texas over Texas A&M 60-50
Buffalo upsets DePaul 74-69 (So DePaul is able to bypass teams like Minnesota, Iowa, Boston College, and Texas Tech. And it was BUFFALO that hands the Blue Demons their 1st loss? How does THAT work?)

And yesterday... all we got was Iowa defeating Minnesota. That was it.

 

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

So in the Top 25 yesterday, we get UTTER CHAOS. Colorado blows it against Northern Iowa, Maryland's latest attempt at a comeback fails against Penn State, Baylor blocks Butler's last-second shot to win...

Texas Tech vs. Louisville - Game Summary - December 10, 2019 - ESPN ...and then I get THIS. Leave it to Texas Tech to FINALLY show up for this season!

St. John's over Brown 82-71
Temple over Saint Joseph's 108-61
UMass-Boston over Holy Cross 69-66 in OT (UMass-Boston is a Division III school, by the way)
