Helluva game by Allen...his post game interview was the first time I’ve heard him talk, and I’ve come to the conclusion he’ll be coming out soon.

Lol. I kind of always thought he sounds like a red neck that likely chews Copenhagen

I had never thought of that but I just heard his interview again and you may be onto something.

Vitale’s commentary is like a shitty liquor you haven’t had in a long time but you decide to drink on a whim one night. At first it’s okay but after a couple hours you kind of regret it and are good without it again for a while.

Nice win for Kansas even without Billy Preston. Kentucky should be really good by the time March rolls around.

Duke was like an NBA lineup tonight, they rebound the ball incredibly well and have terrific size. State was too lackadaisical against that zone, gotta move the ball much quicker or else Big 10 teams are just going to sit in that all winter. Also Bridges is the best player in college basketball, almost unfair to have that shot with his athleticism. And defensively some of those blocks were ridiculous

Kansas with another big time commit tonight. Quentin Grimes
Next year's class is loaded. That's a lot of free cars.

Kind of like scotch....tasted it once and never have a desire for it again.

You need to buy better scotch.

After Ohio State's win over Texas Southern last night, the SWAC currently has a record of 1-26 this season.

Remember this when it comes bracket-picking time, so you know what low seeds to definitely NOT pick for upsets! Not that anyone would pick a 16-seeded SWAC team that probably wouldn't make it past the Tuesday/Wednesday round...

And the one win was against a D-III school

Texas Southern probably plays the toughest non conference schedule in the country though. They might start 0-13 but I respect them for it.

If they do make the tourney, they shouldn't be intimidated.

After opening their season by blowing out Indiana, Indiana State is now 1-3 after losing in 4OT to Ohio in the 7th place game of some tournament.

Can't shoot the ball and are playing mainly zone.

Texas has thoroughly outplayed them. Have a feeling they will come back though.
