Go Big Red!

Go, Buckeyes! O-H-I-O!

[Handy Johnson]

Creighton SHOULD have lost to E Tenn St, they won’t be so lucky on Thursday.

It's early, but Wisco is laying the wood to X on the road.

[Cowboy Kermit]

Really think the Big Ten will only lose to Nova and St. John's. We should finally win this event. 

[Crush78]

Why do they only play 8 games? There are 10 Big East teams

Only three guys have scored... are they that one dimensional?

[hskr4life]

Wisco does look improved... though I don't know how good Xavier is this year.

[Cowboy Kermit]

Wonder how Xavier always manages to find a big ugly white dude to park in the post. 

[throwback]

Kind of surprised X hasn't tried the infamous Hack a Happ game plan yet. Better than letting him lay it in over and over.

 

[HuskerFever]

All I want for Christmas are all of the wins against Brad Davison and Matt Haarms.

I’m assuming Twitter Trey graduated from Georgetown and didn’t transfer to another school?

Maybe it was the same place Iowa found all those lanky, ugly, white guys. Which was in fact Iowa

I just realized can anyone explain to me how the rematch of last years national championship is at 5:30 and on FS1. Probably should have hyped that up a little more!

Because it's gonna end up being an ass whoopin just like the original matchup was..

[NUtball]

Watched a good bit of Georgetown-Illinois.  Not sure about the quality of either team, but the game was fun to watch - quick pace and back and forth until the last couple of minutes when Illinois couldn't make a play.

 

One thing, which most already know, Illinois will be extremely pesky.  They're pressuring style is such that they commit a foul against the opposing ball handler every time but they typically find the sweet spot where the refs aren't willing to blow the whistle.  Hard/frustrating to play against that - you get sliced by a million paper cuts but can never get a call.

 

I think NU's defensive length will give them problems, though, if NU can shut down driving lanes.

Anyone notice we were relegated to the BTN
