Kansas loses by 17.

Kansas overrated. Not the usual KU

USF hanging with Tulsa at Tulsa. Only down 3 with about 15 to go.

coogrr72 · January 6, 2019, 12:30am

USF has definitely improved but struggle offensively primarily because they’re atrocious at the line. If nothing else, make it a free throw shooting contest down the stretch

pray10 · January 6, 2019, 12:38am

Oof, you’re right. Looked it up and they shoot 62% from the line which is 332nd in the nation.

Anytime UK loses, it’s a good day. They jumped State in the NET after State had a road win against Miami Thursday night so this loss will undo that …maybe.

My older brother is a huge UK fan, so this loss made me laugh.

Rupp spent years refusing to play Coach Case because he was afraid. That’s mainly where my distaste for them comes from.

This USF-Tulsa game got interesting. Tulsa was up 11 with 1:12 to go, but have gotten it to within 1 with 28 seconds left. Currently down 3 with 11 seconds, but they have the ball.

I know you don’t mean it in a bad way. Please dont say that. I hope no one have to go through that…

pray10 · January 6, 2019, 1:16am

And they nail a 3 with 4 seconds left to tie it up.

pray10 · January 6, 2019, 1:18am

And Tulsa hits a buzzer-beater 3 to win it. Crazy game.

2002Coog · January 6, 2019, 1:19am

Yeah, I didn’t mean I hope he does. He just gets so worked up that I’m surprised he hasn’t yet.

coogrr72 · January 6, 2019, 1:30am

From what I saw today one huge difference in USF was their refusal to quit. In the recent past, they would have quit when they were down double digits and end up losing by 20+

New Mexico up 12 at the half against unbeaten Nevada.

shaggylives · January 6, 2019, 2:05am

Never underestimate playing in The Pit. Looks like Nevada did.

Progs · January 6, 2019, 2:09am

Yep, looks like they may be only 3 undefeated teams left after tonight. UH next real test Will be at Temple if they take care of business vs Memphis.

Progs · January 6, 2019, 2:10am

Virginia vs Duke will be a battle.

pray10 · January 6, 2019, 2:21am

Man, this wouldn’t be just a loss; this would be a massive upset. Nevada was favored by 14.5, New Mexico is ranked 190th in the NET and had lost their last 3 games at home.

If Nevada was looking for a top 2 or 3 seed, this will do huge damage to those hopes.

Packtex · January 6, 2019, 2:36am

Wolfpack involved in an upset in The Pit? Who ever heard of such a thing.
