Purdue looking better than when they had the tree...tonight anyway. Figured they would suck.

Maryland has Marquette locked in a close one. That has to bode well for us in few weeks when they visit Hilton.

 

[Nolaeer]

WVU down 22 at the half....looks like another long year in Morgantown.

 

[BigJCy]

Marquette @ Maryland starting now on FS1.

Maryland up 4 at the Half.

It is truly fascinating.... they are in an interesting spot NIL-wise definitely being in a pro-dominant sports city. I imagine it has to be harder to funnel money to both programs in a city like that. Especially both programs that have been as average as they are. But still mind-boggling. Maybe they should've kept young Pitino around to usher them into the new era

Biggest ticket when I was there many years ago was hockey. Now, that is before the Wild came back, but MN is a hockey state and the other sports struggle to compete. Also, UMN Twin Cities is a terribly run school, the whole UofMN system, really.

Iowa should play all their games at this arena.

 

[Helser 83]

Sooo, is Purdue that good or is Alabama just not that good?

It never fails. Iowa has the biggest collection of dorks you can get on a basketball court.

You're talking about the Sandfort to Sandfort pass arent you?

 

[JP4CY]

Wazzus guards are getting to the rim with Freeman out.

 

[JP4CY]

Wazzu has made some really really poor passes.

General observation, it would be cool if Big 12 could do a little better in the peer-to-peer matchups or high-level games.

KU has done well, but that's about it.

I realize we're only two weeks in, and I-State hasn't played anyone of substance.

Friendly reminder of what happened the last time a good WSU team took the floor

 

[FerShizzle]

Iowa waffles between looking dangerous and feckless as much as ever.

Sandfort is already a goofy looking bastard...then he applies sports tape on both his shoulders and takes it to a whole new level of dorkiness.

They will shoot out of their a$$ against us.

Actually, Iowa should play all of their home games at City High School (with only the lower level bleachers pulled out).

 

[Helser 83]

Did I miss a coaching change? Wisconsin had 36 points with 8 minutes left in the first half vs Arizona? Peacock with a couple of good games tonight.

Baylor won at Arkansas.

Badgers beating up Zona.

Up 14, 6 minutes left in Half.
