It has to do with TV deals. CBS has a commitment to airing the news on Sunday nights, so they get their game allotments early without competition so they don’t lose viewership by not having the “prime time” games. 
 

Things revert back to normal tomorrow.

Thx, Sarge.

Two more B10 teams go down today...

Solid win by Baylor.
I'll be happy when Michigan gets beat.

Are we going to get a rock fight with SU/WVU coming up next?  We'll all doze off like a post thanksgiving meal.

Did Syracuse get those stupid uniforms at Benetton?

['stache 22117]

At least the pundits will stop overrating the Big 10, at least for the next few hours. Then it’ll be the same  crap.

Is Rutgers the only thing left to overrate? Cougar High should end that, but who knows?

Here’s hoping WV gets blown out by 25

Originally figured they were the most vulnerable Big 12 team in the tournament since they are so whistle dependent. But then Texas Shaka'd itself.

Still hate WVU's style of play.

[Brian Fantana 6856]

Not feeling great about our game vs. Arkansas today. Not sure why.

It's a little childish and stupid, but so is high school.

This mouthy stickman playing for 'Cuse almost makes me want to root for WVU

[Jhawk 1075]

This cuse/wvu game is hard to watch. Such bad offense being run and somehow cuse is scoring on it. 

[WhatTheBuck 28904]

The Sonic mesquite butter bacon cheeseburger looks disgusting.

[Beau Vine 55827]

Can we get the "all but Texas" out of the thread title?

[Machinator 32102]

Done.

That’s right.  My mistake. I forgot

Rooting for Syracuse in this one

Can someone explain how Syracuse seemingly surprises teams every year with the same zone defense and 3 point shooting offense?

Girard played HS ball just up the road from, Jimmer Fredette territory.  Good to see him bust out some today.

I'm guessing it's because very few college basketball teams run a heavy zone defense anymore and it's hard to game plan for what you rarely practice/play against.

[ztejas 44114]

Tech is so fucking well coached. Beard is at that level where he's almost impossible to overrate. This should be a down year for them and they are looking primed to make another Sweet Sixteen.

At least you don’t have to worry that Beard sought advice from Shaka ...

[Brian Fantana 6856]

It's amazing we manage to have scoring droughts when we're getting 3 shots every other possession lmao

[Brian Fantana 6856]

We must have set some kind of record for consecutive missed FG attempts in a half and somehow we're only down 2

[ztejas 44114]

The end of that half was... something.

[Brian Fantana 6856]

I usually don't say this but we are pretty clearly the better team, IMO, and if we lose it's 100% a mental breakdown.

[Underdog 29104]

Jimmy B gonna fuck everyone over and sneak a FF run in here?

I'm not seeing that. I think you're pretty evenly matched. Maybe a bit more disciplined than Arky.

There needs to be a posrep frowny face ... cuz this makes total sense but now I has the sads again.

[PittsburghTiger 6320]

Don’t fuck this up Syracuse 

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

I'll say it--Culver has had a terrible tournament and has some 'splainin' to do.

[Sal 1101]

Jarreau swats Jacob Young 🤫

[elfenix 34658]

I hate syracuse so much

[Pancho 46057]

I just want the state of texas to get a NC in basketball.  If it’s not us, then I don’t care who gets it.

 

With that said, Houston looks fucking good.

[pops 7121]

2nd half adjustments coming for beard.

Same. But begrudgingly respect boeheim. And not just for the fact he's like 90 with a 21 year old kid on the team.

There was a time I rooted for them because I felt sorry for them, seems they got close a few times but never over the hump.  But then JB turned into such a whiny fuck and I enjoy seeing them suffer, sort of how I felt about Duke back in K's early days and now.

Texas Western - 1966.  

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

At least the Mountaineers went out to an underdog that is playing very, very good basketball.

[Pancho 46057]

I want the state of Texas to get a NC in basketball that is RECENT.

Yeah you could be right idk

We went 3-19 to end the half and were only down 2 so it felt ok

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

Tech cannot throw it in the ocean today.

Started great, have been real bad ever since. Our shit shooting and FT shooting was bound to catch up to us sooner or later and it's probably going to be sooner.

Time for Beard to do some Beard shit...
