Grand Canyon basketball's Oscar Frayer dies in car accident, just days after playing in NCAA tournament (espn.com)

Frayer's older sister, Andrea Moore, and a third person [his girlfriend, per another article] in their vehicle [2021 Suburu SUV] were also killed in the crash, the school confirmed Thursday...

...According to local authorities, a California Highway Patrol vehicle was struck from behind by the car Frayer was in as two officers were assisting a stranded vehicle on a highway near Lodi, California, around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Frayer's vehicle hit a tree and became engulfed in flames. The officers were transported to a local hospital with "major injuries," according to the California Highway Patrol, but both are expected to survive...

...Frayer was raised by his mother after his father died in a car accident when Frayer was 7 years old.

damn..

Oregon state with 3 points with 10mins left in the half

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

some level of upsets are good and fun

then there's when you have Oregon State-Loyola in the Sweet 16 

[elfenix 34171]

I was told there would be no offense

[Js1 85110]

Nice Beavs run to end the half.

How the hell does Baylor have a good women and men's team? Ridiculous. Damn Holy Rollers.

Bc Texas fell apart at the end of the Conradt tenure and then hired Goestenkors, who was a bad fit, and Baylor took up the slack while we wandered the wilderness. 

Same for the men’s side. A 10 year lost decade for men’s hoops let Baylor become a destination for Texas talent. 

[WBT 20422]

The announcer just said Thompson passed A.C. Green for #7 all-time in scoring at Oregon State.  I though A.C. Green didn't score at all in college?

[Sbbruin 21734]

Let’s go Beavs!

[Machinator 32097]

I'm sure Oregon State fans love hearing their players compared to Dan Fouts.

[elfenix 34171]

Getting good

[WhatTheBuck 28711]

Dagger. 

[WBT 20422]

Damn, they needed that 3

[Underdog 28456]

Dammit, thought the Ramblers panicked a bit too early with some of their shot selections.  The Pac train looks to keep on rolling. 

[Sbbruin 21734]

Nice Beavers!

The bar has been set low in Corvalis. 

[Sbbruin 21734]

If we had made a free throw iat the end of regulation, we knock out the Beavs in the first game of the PAC tourney and none of this happens.  Instead we lose in OT and the Beavs make an historic run.

[HtownHorn 14487]

I really like Porter Moser, but his offensive style leaves him very little wiggle room. Same with Sampson at UH, and Beard at Tech. Be interesting to see if Houston can handle the 2-3 zone from Syracuse tonight.

Northwestern just made their first and only NCAA Tournament appearance in 2017. Just getting there was kind of a big deal.

Maybe. I'm waiting for the in game moneyline on Baylor to swing greater than +100, and I'll take my chances on Baylor figuring it out.

This is the correct answer, but I took Baylor @ +125 to win because I think they are the better team.

Damn to hell everyone involved with that chick juggling iphone/speed babbling singer commercial.

[Mdhorn 5911]

Officials not letting Villanova foul and this is the first tournament I've seen in awhile where they let players roll over with the ball without calling a travel.  

[Mdhorn 5911]

But it is Baylor so let the chips fall where they may.  

[Mdhorn 5911]

Ok, refs don't call shit either way.

You guys enjoying basketball again now that shaka is gone? This nova baylor game is real good.

Too bad it’s over. 

[Mdhorn 5911]

Sucks for Villanova that they've played such a perfect half that now they can't foul enough to get a chance at a missed FT.  

[Blotto 23434]

I'm glad he pointed out that a .699 is a 70% ft shooting team. That mention of a decimal point had my head swimming.

[El Diablo 4232]

Flagler was clutch down the stretch.  He came thru too vs ISU when the team came back from the COVID break and they looked like they'd all been sick. 

[Pancho 44477]

What a weird call to get angry about and get a T by the ORU coach.  I wonder if that was planned to hype up his team.
