Didn’t see a second of it, but Duke got murdered by 22 at NC St. 

Lost some money on that. +400 for duke at half. Figured they’d cut it to 10 in the first couple of minutes but they couldn’t hit anything. State couldn’t miss.

61.5% from three.  Is that good?

Heard the tail end of ESPN this evening that Walton and Pasch are going to be joined by Frank Caliendo on a game broadcast?

Please say this is the truth.

Its actually pretty funny. His Walton is almost indistinguishable from real Bill.

Colorado Buffalos should be our standard. 

The coach appears to be a Boulder, CO lifer, but I would take a team like this Buffs team in Austin. 

Fun to watch. All on the same page. The crowd was loud and into it... or at least in the 2nd half (didn’t watch the first half).

The color announcer mentioned 2 to 3 times that Colorado had 5 guys on the floor who could score.

Bruins have quietly won 8 of 10.  Probably still need to win the P12 tourney, but they are at least showing signs of life under Cronin.

I noticed that when I was looking around the standings. Hopefully Cronin can keep improving the team; I've always liked UCLA hoops as opposed to Duke, Kentucky, KU, and UNC.

Yeah, just needs to recruit like a madman.  We just don't have talent.  Highly rated kids, but they all pretty much suck.  Alford was a lazy evaluator.  Got the #1 PG coming in, but need more.

They're the best team in the Pac-12 right now. I think if they win out in the regular season, they're in, regardless of the tourney.

Familiar name... 😀

UNLV hands No. 4 San Diego State its 1st loss, 66-63

9:14 PM CT.      Associated Press

SAN DIEGO -- Elijah Mitrou-Long scored 19 points, including two free throws with 11.5 seconds left, and UNLV handed No. 4 San Diego State its first loss of the season, 66-63 on Saturday night to end the Aztecs' 26-game winning streak.  San Diego State, which had been the nation's only undefeated team since Jan. 15, erased most of a 14-point deficit when it pulled to 64-63 on Malachi Flynn's 3-pointer with 14.5 seconds left. Mitrou-Long was fouled by Matt Mitchell with 11.5 seconds left and made both free throws.  Flynn missed a contested 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds left and the ball went to the Runnin' Rebels. After a long pass down the court, Mitchell ended up with the ball and his desperation shot at the buzzer fell short.

SDSU (26-1, 15-1 Mountain West) unveiled the regular-season conference banner before the game and then looked nothing like the team that raced to the best start in school history. The Aztecs trailed by 14 midway through the second half and were down 11 with 4:32 to go.  They were uncharacteristically porous on defense and sloppy on offense, missing easy shots and committing careless turnovers.  SDSU had been projected as the No. 1 seed in the East in the NCAA Tournament. Providing the Aztecs don't stumble again, the loss could keep the Aztecs in the West as the No. 2 seed. Gonzaga is the projected No. 1 seed in the West, where the regionals will be at Staples Center up the freeway in Los Angeles.  

Amauri Hardy scored 17 points and Bryce Hamilton added 11 points and 10 rebounds for UNLV (15-14, 10-6).  Flynn scored 24, Mitchell 13 and Jordan Schakel 10 for SDSU.

SDSU pulled to 62-60 on Flynn's two free throws with 1:47 left and Arop Aguek's layup with 25.6 seconds left. Mitrou-Long then made two free throws with 19.9 seconds left for a four-point lead.  Hardy's jumper gave UNLV a 44-30 lead three minutes into the second half before SDSU pulled within seven, thanks to Flynn's layup and Jordan Schakel's 3-pointer. But Hardy then made a jumper from the free-throw line and a layup to put the Runnin' Rebels back up by double digits.  UNLV took advantage of numerous SDSU breakdowns to take a double-digit lead midway through the first half and pushed it to 37-25 at halftime on a steal and slam dunk by Mitrou-Long.

SDSU had the lead just once, at 14-13 after Flynn's 3-pointer, and then allowed UNLV to go on a 10-0 run. Mitrou-Long started it by converting a 4-point play when he hit a 3-pointer and was fouled by Flynn. Cheikh Mbacke Diong scored inside and then Hardy hit a floater and Mitrou-Long made a layup.  SDSU's only points in a four-minute span were two free throws apiece by Mitchell and Flynn. UNLV kept connecting, though, getting a bank shot by Hamilton and a 3-pointer by Mitrou-Long to take its first double-digit lead, 28-18 with 7:12 before halftime.

POLL IMPLICATIONS

The Aztecs will drop from their No. 4 spot in the Top 25, which matched the highest ranking in school history.
