It’s stunning how bad of a product college basketball is. 15 points at half. How can people with a serious tone say this is better than the NBA.


I generally agree with this...people say that the NBA has no defense but it is really that the rules are setup to keep the game flowing and not to allow teams to slow the game down to crawl and lose flow.

I think someone put a hex on these Tennessee players. They can't make ANYTHING.

Alabama had five threes by halftime against Duke. They were worse in the second half.


Alabama was within 7-10 the entire game until the last 5 minutes or so. These games are not comparable

Milicic is a horrible basketball player. Throws balls away for no reason, losses possession for no reason. If he’s not hitting from 3 he’s the biggest liability in the SEC.

They tried, and Houston said get out of my house (aided by a loose whistle that lets them foul half the time).
Houston is pounding them in the paint. And getting rebounds when they miss. This game in this arena will be won and loss by 2 pt shots, not 3 in this cavern. Always bet the under in these football money grab stadiums. Next week is at the Alamodome. Under, under, under…

Barnes and Sampson have productive careers, helped a lot of young men develop into pros or get a degree, etc. I am not attacking them as men.

HOWEVER, their brand of basketball is borderline nihilism but the NCAA rules and enforcement makes this style of ball viable and they are good at coaching it up.

Auburn should wipe up MSU. I live in Bog18 country and have seen them too many times. If Aubie plays their game, they'll roll Sparty! Tenner has nothing to do with their game.

Okpara has been open on the roll for most of the game.

They haven't been able to see him due to the smothering defense on their guards.

Signs of life but we have dug a giant hole against the worst sort of team to do it against.

Yep, you'd think ZZ would be able to step through the double.

Unlike DK, Lanier has cold games. DK would go cold for a few mins. Would love to have DK with this group.
