Does Iowa losing 19-2 at the under 12 minute timeout help us? 

 

I'm going to vote "yes".

The ice rink underneath overheated and players started slipping

Who in their right mind thought that this was a good idea?  Do they play all of their games there?

Quite a few teams play over ice rinks - I believe they have an insulating layer they place between the ice and the bottom of the floor. 

 

Occasionally, it can cause problems with condensation on the basketball floor if something malfunctions.

 

I doubt they have ice under the floor at Century Link anymore, but they did when UNO played hockey there. And they always have ice under the floor at Baxter Arena for the Mavs. I want to say Wisconsin hockey plays at the Kohl Center too.

Just about every city that has both an NBA team and NHL team. I remember it being a concern years ago leading up to an NBA game (Celtics maybe?) but I think they resolved it before tip off and the game went on as planned.

It's been unseasonably warm in the northeast recently - Providence had a high temperature around 70 today.  Normally it hovers around freezing from mid November until the end of April so it's not a huge concern during hockey/basketball season.  Believe it or not air conditioning is not very common up there, so it wouldn't surprise me if Dunkin' Donuts arena has inadequate or no air conditioning.  (Having lived in Boston for a few years I can attest to this fact)  Warm humid air near the floor could cause condensation on the court similar to the sweat on a cold beverage on a hot humid day.

 

But I could be totally wrong and it's something completely different.  I'm only guessing here.

By default you can root for Iowa to lose all of their games

[hskr4life]

I guess I did not know that.  Seems like a bad idea to me, but who am I to judge....

Man, I hope we weren't counting on Colorado State to give Boise State anything even remotely resembling a fight.  Sheesh!

At least a couple other teams of concern are getting boatraced themselves.

Pretty good night thus far.

 

Auburn killing Bama.   Duke killing Louisville.

 

Need KSU and Tennessee to hold on and for Colorado to come through for us.

A Colorado win would do wonders tonight.

John Crispin and whoever is doing PBP tonight (maybe Dave Revsine) for this game were talking about the B1G standings and what a great story Nebrasketball was and Crispin said (paraphrased) "they had all those transfers after last year and people were wondering what was going on, and I think what was going on was those dudes saw the talented transfers coming in and saw the writing on the wall..."

Colorado up on USC by 3 after 25% of the game.

During the Colorado/USC broadcast: "I'm going to go with five (Pac-12 teams) at a minimum (come Selection Sunday)."

I could see it.  Doesn't the NIT show come on after the regular selection show on Selection Sunday?

The other night I think I was watching Oregon play and Bill Walton said that 9 PAC-12 teams deserved a bid. I know he's way out there but he was serious and he actually said those words.

If the Pac-12 wasn't so prominent on the bubble these past few weeks, there is no way I would deal with listening to Walton for more than 30 seconds.

I know that was the last update up there but during the Syracuse-UNC broadcast they threw up a graphic with the last four in and first four out and we were no longer in the first four out. He had (at the time) UCLA, USC, Penn State, Washington. 

Of course that was before PSU went down but I was thrown off that he had switched things up without an official update of his bracket on espn.

I think he usually does Thursday updates.  So that might be his change for tomorrow.

Well... it was looking like USC was going to take over this game, but Colorado came back from 12. They now have a 2-point lead over USC with 12:00 to go.
