Upset of the year : Illinois has 2 block calls.

Great start. Playing hard on defense, going to the rim, and getting to the free throw line. Perfect recipe for the rest of the year.

Watching the Alabama and Georgia game, I didn't realize I would get the Alabama feed on CBS. I swear anytime Alabama does something good, Gary Danielson has an orgasm. He seems dejected anytime Alabama does something bad.

The key to the season is Roby and Allen taking some pressure off the Big 3. We saw in the Texas Tech game that if the Big 3 are off, this team can be beaten handily. Allen needs to hit 40% from 3. Roby needs to drive against his defender, and hit open 3's. I watched some highlights, and he was taking the 5 to the rim a bit.

All I know is next Saturday, there better be ZERO blue in PBA!!

I think the difference is Clemson fouled our guys going for the ball. Creighton fouled a guy who was not anywhere near the ball. Creighton started 6 of 9 from 3. Hit 8 of their last 23.

It will be an interesting match-up. A great 3 point shooting team against a team that guards the 3 very well.

I agree Georgia would not get in. I was just thinking they have a better resume than OU and OSU. I would give the nod to OU if they win.

I don't understand the love for Ohio State. They loss by 29 to a 6 win team. They beat a 5 win team in OT. They beat a 4 win team by 5. It says more about the play-off teams. Alabama and Clemson are head and shoulders better than everyone. Notre Dame has beat everyone on their schedule, they will be the 3rd team. Oklahoma has no defense. They haven't done much to deserve a shot. Georgia even with a loss might be more deserving than OU and OSU.

I just researched that. We beat them the next year on the road, but they weren't ranked that time. Combined the two.

I thought Nee or Collier beat Minnesota?

That I will give him. The other 3 have been total BS.

I'm trying to figure out these refs. Roby drives in the lane, 24 hammers him and no call. He waves in front of a jump shooter and it's a foul?

Need Roby to not get called for non existent fouls. He has to stay on the court in the 2nd half.

It only took 13:14 and about 20 moving screens.

As soon as I say our defense is playing well, we give them a run to cut it to 18.

The area I was most disappointed with Tuesday night was the defense. Tech got whatever they wanted. Looks like we either match-up well with Western Illinois or we have put some emphasis it the past few days.

I was pessimistic earlier in the year. But, I came around to this team and the future. This team has a great chance to win the west as early as next year. Have some work to do in the off-season.

Iowa better enjoy this win. It might be awhile. This team needs some time in the weight room. Especially, the DL. They were blown off the ball at times today. The OL had little push at times also Add to that depth on defense, and some playmakers at WR and DB's.

I thought Palmer leaving the game with his 2nd foul was the turning point, and it was a bad call. One thing I would like to see from this offense when we struggle is ball screens with Roby for Palmer. Spread out the other 3 at the 3 point line to receive the pass from Palmer if he gets cut off in the lane. On defense, we need Palmer, Copeland, and Roby in the lane at all times. They are long enough to recover on their man to affect the 3 point shot. Get back to love the rim, like the 3.

Or maybe have all conferences play 9 conference games. The SEC is the only P5 conference with 8 conference games. I think you eliminate a game and conferences go to 8 games, 11 overall. Each P5 conference sends their champ. One G5 champ goes, and 2 at large bids. It will be tough to pass as AD's and Presidents don't want to eliminate the revenue from an extra game.
