Dookies lose again. 4 of 5.

Side note...Miami is a good basketball team.

I expect K to come down with a back injury any day now.

Not anymore.

Kansas is just not a good team away from AFH.

Calipari's halftime interview last night was great.

When asked about Skal Labissiere, he simply stated "I ruined the young man. I was trying to play him inside and that's not what he does. I'm going to let him do what he does well."

Pretty ballsy to admit your prized recruit stinks because you were too stubborn to use him right.

Of course, Skal looked great offensively last night. Hit 4 or 5 face up jumpers and was a monster on defense.

They looked great last night, but it was still Mizzou. I'm excited to see how they play Saturday against Kansas.

The team looked great, which they are going to when everyone is hitting outside shots. It's the games they are cold where there's really no options inside that it's a struggle. KU has been reeling, it's going to be a very tough game.

I think, from looking on Yahoo, he hurt his arm somehow (or banged it up) and then tried to shoot the free throw a bit later in the game and comically missed.

No one apparently knows for sure if getting banged up had an effect on the shot (and he sucks from the line regardless), but it was thrown out as a potential reason for missing it by that much.

This Virginia/Louisville game has been unreal. Just a dominating performance from the Cavs.

Also Azu looks like your lack of talent comment sunk in with the Spartans, they have looked terrific the last few games. Defense has improved quite a bit while Forbes and Costello have really came into their own

They can win 20 games in a row it doesn't change the fact that they don't have top 25 talent in college basketball.

We'll see in 2-3 years how many Spartans circa 2015-16 are in the NBA...

Oklahoma truly does live and die by the 3. The problem with LSU is they never play like this unless the opponent is big. They will lose to teams like Alabama, Auburn, Missouri or Mississippi State.

Buddy Hield!!! So smooth. What a great comeback by OU. These last 4 minutes are going to be awesome.

I agree with Dick and Brent.

Simmons has to be more aggressive getting the ball

Also LSU'S coach sucks.

I've missed a lot of college basketball this year with the move and being on the west coast. So tell me, is Hield a real star? Like NBA star potential or a kid just playing with incredible confidence?

Has been true for years. Top 3-4 talent in the conference for the last 4 years or so.

No clue what the hell Hield just said during any of that interview lol

That being said, he's your POY.

He has always been good just taken it to another level this year. He can easily play in the NBA.

Just a great game.

Yeah know they'd had good athletes and done nothing. Though that seems to be true about a lot of sec teams, just some bad coaching.
