Maybe I wasn't looking closely enough, but didn't Georget$%n have a 1 point lead with seconds to go?
 But the cowards wind up losing to a team we absolutely thrashed.
Makes the win on Wednesday taste even sweeter.

South Carolina was up 1 and missed the front end of a 1 and 1.  Georgetown then scored with under 10 seconds left to take a one point lead. South Carolina tried to rush it up the court and threw a long pass that missed and went out of bounds; but when the refs went to the monitor, it was clear that a Georgetown player grabbed the jersey of the player going for the ball so they called a technical or flagrant.  South Carolina made the first to tie, missed the second, and got the ball back but GG Jackson missed at the buzzer.  Then USC won it in OT because Georgetown stinks.

Also NOBODY is gonna talk about UMD kicking absolute ass so far????? I know some on here are still salty about the BB&T disintegrating but come on. Props to a solid team. Turns out the issue was the piss poor coaching from Turd-geon after all!

You're right, the Terps are way better than what people projected for them. I believe they were picked to finish around 9th in the Big 10, and they could be ranked 9th in the country in a week or 2!! The Charlotte transfer/DeMatha grad Jahmir Young (GW faced him once or twice in recent years) is playing very well for them. It's interesting that Georgetown and Maryland were in similar positions, in terms of being competitive but not being able to make the tournament over a period of years but Georgetown refused to look for the best candidate, they just brought in another John Thompson disciple, and they are getting worse and worse, while Maryland appears to have hit a homerun with their hire in Willard.

BC loses to UNH at home. Should help our KenPom lol.

Watching the Siena/Georgetown game and with the way Georgetown is playing I have no doubt in my mind we would hold our own against them.  They actually have some of the same issues we do in terms of sloppy passing, giving up offensive rebounds, slow rotations on defense, getting beat off the dribble, and a lot of iso guard play.

Georgetown's conditioning doesn't look all that great either.  Lethargic on both ends.

G'town beats Siena.  Siena has about the same as KenPom so as things go lately for Gtown that's a decent win.   When The Big East schedule beings things will likely get pretty ugly

Speaking of which, how about 9-1 St Johns! Destroyed DePaul today, KenPom is now 41.  Mike Anderson has fully turned it around in NYC something 20 years in the making

Hurley's UCONN team is blowing out Florida on ESPN2.  A  tale of two teams in different program stages, rebuilt UCONN top 5 and blowing out everyone, Florida beginning their rebuild under Todd Golden, an excellent hire.

UCONN wins this game 75-54   They are the #2 KenPom in the nation, the only team top 10 in both offense and defense

There's a 7'2 Center on UCONN who in 15 minutes had 21 points 11 boards 2 blocks off the bench tonight

17 points for Brayon Freeman.  Rhode Island beat 11-1 UMASS-Lowell who came into the game a top 100 KenPom
4 for 5 from 3 for Brayon 

Richmond had a 42-9 halftime lead on one of last year's Elite 8 teams, you can probably guess which one!

Fairleigh Dickinson reached the Elite 8 last year?  Fairleigh Dickinson AND St. Peters?  I would have thought that might have received even more attention.

I've got to respond to this again because Maryland looks as if they are about to lose their 3rd straight game as they trail UCLA at home 32-11 with 5 minutes left in the 1st half. Everything they were doing right (3 point shooting, defense, rebounding) are now weaknesses in their last 3 games. Did you post this as a way to jinx them!! LOL 

This game is on FS1

They will right the path, got 2 get right games in a row now. Other 2 games were close despite poor shooting. This was truly a gross game though
