Cool...you going Sunday? 

No, I want to but I have to work. 

I think OSU can and probably will beat Houston. OSU won’t be able to beat a high scoring team, but that isn’t Houston. Houston can D up, but I think OSU can grind it out with them.

Bucks will have to play a near perfect game to beat them, but I agree. Especially if they can ride the high from yesterday. 

Houston is really good. And has a really good, experienced coach. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if they can knock them off. I think Houston was under-seeded and should’ve been a 2.

Houston hasn’t looked quite as good since thrashing UC at UC. OSU will have to play really well again but they look pretty loose.

Not saying Houston isn't good..just saying it's a good matchup for OSU

Hasnt happened in a few games, at least the ones Ive watached, but the OSU scoring droughts have been bad this year. Houston can D up, as you mentioned, so that would be my one concern. Going like 10 minutes and only getting single digit points in that timeframe. 

Of course, if they play defense like last night, they will be within striking distance regardless.

Either way...please knock out Kelvin Sampson for me.

What hasn't happened in a few games? All I said was it's a favorable matchup for OSU

LSU shooters have lost their touch against the Md zone in the 2nd half.  LSU has given up their halftime lead, which should have been bigger, due to clock mismanagement.

Skylar Mays gets  his shooting touch back and gives LSU a 3 point lead with 40 sec left.  Then Smith matches the trey from the corner to tie with 20 sec left.

Waters cavorts in the lane and lays one up for the win for LSU, thru the net with less than 2 sec left.

Great finish. Big time drive by Waters. 

Very enjoyable game.  Hopefully that's a good omen for today.

The LSU clock management at the end of the 2nd half, getting the 2 for 1, was excellent as compared to just the opposite in letting Md get the 2 for 1 in the first half on two treys by Wiggins in the last minute to put up the last 6 points of the half for Md.

Am I correct that in the last minutes of the 2nd half they stop the clock when a made FG goes thru the net, but do not stop the clock in the first half?  By not doing it in the first half they create a loop hole for a perfectly managed shot at about 40 sec that goes thru the hoop and the other teams fools around with the ball long enough to get the game clock down around 30 sec so that when they do throw the ball in bounds, there won't be enough time for there to be a 2 for 1 for the team that executed perfectly!  Need to make both halves end the same way on clock timing.

UK pretty fortunate 

McGee is 0 for fucking 11 from 3...my god man

Fletcher MaGee has single-handedly lost this game for Wofford. Keeps chucking up fall away 3s. Meanwhile his teammates are killing it. 

Terrible defensive foul call on Wofford with 16 sec left.  Ky makes two FT to put them up 4, instead of a Wofford rebound and a chance to win it with a trey, or tie with two.

Had Wofford +5.5...awful lol
