Colgate about to dump Syracuse at Syracuse.

 

[best4heisman]

Colgate dropped 100 on Syracuse. This coming after Syracuse beat Lafayette by a larger margin than we did.

So what you're saying is Colgate is better than Duke or Kentucky.

 

[rome8180]

Looking at Holmgren's stats, and so far he's been everything you would expect. He's shooting 68%, including 80% from two-point range. Per 40 minutes, he's averaging 17.8 pts, 11.5 reb, and 5.5 blocks. His PER is 30.5. His offensive rating is 129 and his defensive rating is 77. The only things holding him back are his relatively high turnover rate and his 20% three-point percentage.

I don't see how you draft Banchero over him at this point.

Damn, Purdue has just annihilated Nova in the final 8 or so minutes of this game.

 

[dukebluedevils05]

Yeah, that was a great game. Purdue controlled the beginning, 'Nova had its way the middle part of the game, and Purdue dominated the last 10 minutes or so. Nova helped them out missing an absurd amount of important free throws during that stretch. Think they said they're a 90% team from the line on the season, yet missed over and over in the second half.

Purdue feels like a 2 seed we'll be talking up all year, only to watch them lose in the second round.

#14 Illinois was up 15 against unranked Cincinnati and ended up losing by 20.

Gonzaga is favored by 5.5 over UCLA in their titanic 1 vs. 2 clash on Tuesday night. The entire nation will be watching.

 

[rome8180]

Oscar Tshiebwe is averaging 16.3 rebounds in under 28 mpg. That breaks down to almost 24 rebounds per 40. I can't remember anything like this.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Top of Gonzaga's conference is comparable to the top of the ACC this season. Both conferences have 4 teams in the top 41 of Kenpom (St. Mary's is 41). Gonzaga will have a few more in-conference tests than they normally do.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Gonzaga is up to a 7-point favorite over UCLA. With a dominant win tonight, Gonzaga could plausibly be favored by 8-9 over Duke. It may be the biggest non-conference underdog spread for Duke since 1995. The biggest I recall is 8 at Sullinger’s OSU in 2012.

 

[Pantone287]

We're all rooting for a dominant Gonzaga win tonight, I assume. A loss would be such a nightmare setup for our game.

 

[aiw]

He might be a hack, but I will always love this guy

 

[rome8180]

Agree. He seems like a genuinely wonderful person with a real enthusiasm for what he does.

I saw some people bashing him for being emotional. You have to be a real piece of shit to come away with that as your reaction.

 

[TS9]

College basketball as it exists now really isn’t worthy of the support of someone like Vitale, a good man who truly wants to believe the game isn’t a cesspool. It’s been sad to see his commentary deteriorate to the point of worthlessness over the years, but there’s no denying that he was a major contributor to the game’s heyday.

Mainly, though, he’s used his fame and platform to advocate for good causes. Considering that, how anyone could dump on the guy as he battles cancer is beyond me.

Love Dickie V - him being too excited is more enjoyable to me than listening to Bilas constantly try to prove he's the smartest boy in the room

'BilasSmug' should be an emoji.
