What a MBB night!

Love my Cyclones more than any other, but not a bad "Off Night":

Drake stomps Belmont (went to that game)
Alabama suvrives Florida in OT (Phone followed)
LSU comes from behind to beat Kentucky (watched on TV)

And that CSU\NM game that just finished was a great ending

Colorado State at New Mexico has been pretty entertaining. They are getting after it. Better than any B1G game I've watched this year.

I was there. My first college hoops game. Holy crap does the Pit get loud. I loved every minute of it, until after the game I found that someone attempted to break into my car.

I don't know who would do such a thing. But I'm sure the Hawkeyes would say it was a Cyclone that must have done it.

Makes Baylor a little more mad and desperate for a win Saturday against Houston though . . . .

That's what I was struggling with. Originally I thought I wanted Baylor to win because then they'd be playing for a tie for first place on Saturday, but now they absolutely have to win both to stay in the conference race and for the seeding.

Basically whoever loses on Saturday, we benefit: Houston loss + ISU win = back to tied for first in Big 12, Baylor loss + ISU win helps us for seeding (Omaha is also the closest region for Baylor).

I keep saying this but UK fans have to be ready to move on from Cal.

Kentucky now sixth in the SEC. Nine years since their last final four.

Cal to Texas in the offseason seems to be the most common rumor.

I had missed the finish to LSU-UK (beyond catching final score), watched the recap a couple of minutes ago. What a play!

Does Cal have a lifetime contract?

 

[Kinch]

A quad 2 loss to LSU for Kentucky.

 

[Kinch]

Does Cal have a lifetime contract?

Yep. This is the basketball version of Jimbo Fisher.

Calipari seals lifetime deal to finish career at UK

Kentucky has agreed to a contract extension with head coach John Calipari that will see him finish out his career with the Wildcats, a school official told ESPN.

[Kinch]

Calipari will make $8.5 million this year and $9.0 million next year.

 

[ClonerJams]

If you ever visit Rupp Rafters, you know there are plenty ready to move on from Cal.

 

[Kinch]

Calipari’s buyout after this season is $33 million.

Albuquerque is known for car thefts. But I'll blame it on a Hawkeye.
