Another big Quad 1 road win for Maryland, beating Iowa.   Previously went on the road and beat #10 Illinois

 

We may be already on the phone to Detroit Mercy and Pacific for next year's schedule.

Wow huge upset by Oregon St 

South Carolina won again, they are 17-3.  They've continued to steam roll through the SEC 

30 points 4 steals and the game winner for Jameer Nelson Jr as TCU beats #15 Baylor on the road, a massive Quad 1 win for TCU as Jameer's team solidify their tourney resume

Houston beats Texas on the road

Lunardi has Texas in his last 4 in.    Incredible what a gap there is between Texas and Houston

As for Kelvin Sampson at Houston, what a job he's done there.  A Final Four, an Elite 8 and at least the Sweet 16 every year dating back to 2019

Incredible upset tonight! one of the biggest of the year

#237 Rice goes on the road and beats Memphis, a brutal Quad 4 loss for a now bubble Memphis squad 

Speaking of great players turned Head Coaches, Juwan Howard's Michigan team is 7-14.   

Siena lost to a 7 win Rider team by 41. 18 FGs made, 21 turnovers. Sean Durugordon (who I think we recruited a bit when he transferred sometime back) had half of their 50 points. Imagine what things would have looked like had the NCAA not allowed him to play since he's transferred multiple times already. Siena may not have money for the buyout but Carm has been a disaster there this year. Virtually no D1 talent on that team.

The #1 team in the nation, UConn picked up their 8th Quad 1 win today

Danny Hurley's defending National Champs are 20-2 and looking like the #1 overall seed for the Tourney 

It was nice seeing GW beat him a few times while he was in the A-10. Was always a great experience to see him stomp around on the visiting sidelines, glaring at the officials. He has never changed.

Saw that GM-Umass ending.  Have to feel for Hall.  No game should ever be won or lost in this manner.

Two other games worth discussing.  One goes back to last Wednesday when Purdue held a 46-8 advantage in free throw attempts against Northwestern.  The kicker though was when NW executed a perfect trap, down 3 in overtime with seconds left, only to be called for a phantom foul.  It cost NW any chance at winning, and Chris Collins knew this, so he strolled out onto the court to let the ref have it.  He was ejected (2 techs).  Just a blatant example of a ref calling what he was expecting to see rather than what actually happened.  This happens way too frequently in college basketball.

On Saturday night, Baylor held a comfortable second half lead over Iowa State when the refs unbelievably tossed Scott Drew for having his body breaking the plane of the coach's box, for the second time.  We've seen coaches walk onto the floor, practically interrupt the action, with no such calls.  Scott Drew has coached over 700 college games and it was the first time he had ever been ejected.  On the next possession, the Baylor bench was called for another technical for likely voicing their displeasure with how Drew was treated.  From there, Baylor could not do a single thing right for several minutes and ISU went from 11-14 down to up 5.  Baylor did come storming back and took a 2 point lead with 1.7 seconds left.  ISU had to go the length of the floor and had no timeouts left.  They missed a 3/4 court heave but wait...there's more.  It was ruled that the clock had not started properly.  Rather than a do-over, they took .5 seconds off the clock and ISU got to inbound from just beyond half-court.  1.2 left.  They passed to a guy at the top of the key who flipped the ball behind him to another player who banked home a three point shot.  ISU wins...or did they?  After review, it was ruled that he did not get the shot off in time (correct call) and Baylor ends up winning.  Perhaps the wildest game of the season. 
 

Kansas St beats Kansas!

Court storming!

Wow 38 points?  GW I take it still holds the record by holding Saint Louis to 20?

I believe they had 7 at the half!
