Awful choke job by Minnesota. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Coaching malpractice not advancing the ball when they had the chance — you’ve struggled to break the press all day!

Both teams doing everything they can to lose the game.

@Rooster1 whereabouts in Maine? That’s where all of my mom’s side of the family came from and I used to spend my summers up there. I do a work stint up and down the coast every summer and I love it. Bar Harbor is one of the few places I’d like to retire … in 25 years. 😂

Mixed feelings about Ole Miss winning. On one hand, I am a Notre Dame hater for life. On the other hand, Coach Q is on the bench for Ole Miss. 🤢

Was hoping for an upset today but none so far.

Auburn @ Syracuse about to heading into overtime. 52-52. The crowds here are usually bad but with a 5pm weekday start time this showing is particularly lackluster.

You make good points, but ... There was a time, back when UConn won their 2016 title, when I was sitting with someone and boasting about how great UConn was that they could win 5 (or more!) in a row. And the team was on cruise control for most of the 2016-2017 season, with only 1 or 2 close...

And Nova is doing it on WVU’s court, no less! Currently 75-53 with under 7 minutes to go in the game.

Agree with you. It worries me as well. Some of the players we've brought in have not lived up to the hype just yet. I am hoping we can see some improvement between then and now. I guess the one "benefit" of playing in a conference like the BE is that you have plenty of time to experiment and...

No, I definitely wouldn't have dropped SCar further than #3. I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. Just commenting on it. Sometimes the voters have punished teams more harshly for a close loss, is all. I'm certainly not handing UConn any NC trophy, and neither should anyone else, especially this...

I imagine it's the grace that's usually extended to all #1 teams .... until they lose a game, they stay #1. One could rightly make an argument for Texas to be #1. Interesting that SCar only fell to #3. So the loss was good enough to jump Texas ahead, in the minds of voters, but not that good...

Expected but still unfortunate. 😔

Or maybe they’re thinking they can be the ones to turn it around (playing Devil’s advocate here). I guess we will find out.

Do the AP voters catapult Texas to #2 now? Assuming UConn holds at #1.

SCar pulled away at the end but Duke gave them a good fight. I respect Kara Lawson. I don’t love the style Duke plays but they might grab some big wins later on in the season. Gamecocks v Longhorns should be an interesting matchup.
