Providence puts a curb stomping on Creighton with a 81 - 68 win. That's big Big East win right there.

A couple of upsets yesterday. But IMO, none more a shock than Wisconsin losing to NW. Man bball is brutal.

doh! Amazing....one drink of coffee and you start to think.

How bout IU losing to NW. Wisky did lose, but you guys knew that.

And you people thought I was crazy earlier for saying that you shouldn't write off Michigan just yet.

I'm bowing cause I'll admit, I wrote them off. w/o McGary, I thought they were toast. But what is that like 5 in a row and in conference no less? This team is coming together.

I never thought they were going to be a juggernaut, but they took AZ down to the wire, and when they lost that game, everybody just gave up. Since then they've been undefeated, and I've heard nothing but negativity about them. I still think they have a decent shot of finishing in the Top 4 of the B1G. Time will tell.

Nice win against Pitt btw.

They're getting to the meat of their schedule...Wednesday vs. Iowa should be a good one

Based on what's going on so far this season, I'm guessing March Madness will be wild

Iowa drops 94 on minnesota in a 21 point win. Even more impressive when you consider that they almost hit 100 and their 2 leading scorers combined to score 1 point in the first half. Man this team is deep as hell

There are some young teams out there that started rough but have really come on (e.g. Kansas) and scare the hell out of me.

Yeah, definitely a flop. UK is making the Vols look like an NBA team. And I've never seen such a poor freethrow shooting team who appears to have the singular focus of drawing fouls to get to the line.

I think one of the reasons {for UK getting to the free throw line more than the other team} is the emphasis that Cal has put on avoiding fouls.....the fouls that the NCAA told refs to start calling this year. From the start of the season the players practiced that way. Does UK commit those fouls? Of course they do.......usually {but not always}when the refs let the teams start playing rougher.

No...I'm not trying to say the UK players don't do it otherwise. I'm just saying that's what Calipari emphasized before the season and during practice.

Baylor and Kansas tonight! Let's Go Jayhawks!

UK started rough and is still playing rough.......they are slowly learning to adapt and make changes on the fly...and mostly making the right decisions......gotta be able to see the floor to do this; and I think Andrew Harrison is finally starting to see and do it.

Their crappy defense still makes me hesitant on them once March rolls around but man if Creighton is on...they will run some teams out of the gym.

Lighting up Nova right now. Wragge probably best shooter in the country.

Nova isn't that good, it's as simple as that. I thought that at the beginning of the season, and then they won so many games that I decided they HAD to be good to be able to get some of those good wins. Right now I am struggling to understand how Iowa lost to this team. (Kansas, I can understand since it was the beginning of the season and they are such a different team than they were then)

Nova is very solid and very good at home.

Creighton would beat any team in college basketball by 25 tonight with the way they are shooting.

CBB is too wild for me

suggest valium with your vodka drinks...

CBB is too wild for me

It's only gonna get wilder..."Madness" might be too tame a description for this season's finish.

Creighton hit 21 3s!
