Damn what a collapse by Murray State

[whygohome?]

Blows my mind that the Bryce drew buzzer beater was 15 years ago. I remember watching that live in class at middle school and it was amazing.

i dont count some of those game that far back as struggling. just because they lost doesnt mean they were struggling.

If you're under .500 over the course of 1.5 months, you're struggling.

Disagree, but ok

[whygohome?]

Ok, so what word would you give that stat?

[unccrombie]

Inconsistent. Ever since southerland was ineligible.

[FromTheMorning]

Syracuse is struggling in every sense of the word.

Struggling to be consistent?

Over their last couple, yeah

[jrod41]

so am I the only one keeping tabs on the Grambling St. game? last chance to win a single game this season. going against a team that beat them twice this season, each win by more than 20 points. grambling is actually winning right now. what i wouldn't give to see them win their conference tourney

[jrod41]

well so much for that. grambling goes on for the perfect 0-28 season. at least they only lost this by single digits for once.

[FromTheMorning]

That is unbelievable and so humiliating.

[unccrombie]

they detroit lions of basketball. even more impressive.

[MPizzle06]

Alright Illini, you fucking need this one. Badly.

Also very happy the B1G Tourney has returned to the UC. Much better site than Indy.

[SmoothG]

First time the pac 12 tourny is in vegas. First time ever for basketball games at the mgm. Arizona playing colorado. Zona really needs to win this one. Im not holding my breath though. This team has been such a let down lately. If they can win this one theyll probably play ucla who has already beat them twice. Not sure they could do it a 3rd time. Anything less than the championsip game, and the championship really, will be a bit of a letdown.

[K3nTaKa0s]

Cincinnati with more fouls than points.

[whygohome?]

Hopefully Syracuse doesn't inconsist today against Pitt.

i hope syracuse is not engaged in strenuous activity versus pittsburg, instead, i hope they play with chemistry consistent with their talent.

[MPizzle06]

Uuggh terrible start to the second half

Ha....That's extremely debatable. Both sites have their good and not so good.

Musburger: "It all came off the penetration."

Ya got that right Brent, ya got that right.

[MPizzle06]

BP3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckiest last 2 minutes ever Played like shit, but still got the win!!! I-L-L

[UNLTrpt]

Huge comeback by the Cyclones.

[Balor3012]
