2012-13 College Basketball Running Cordial Discussion

More miraculous shit from Butler. And this time while playing without their best player, Rotnei Clarke, who's out with injury. They're now 3-0 against Top 10 teams this year.

 

There are three - maybe four - good teams, and then a lot of detritus.

Did not see the game, but to hear the GU radio guys call it, Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk was pushed out of the way by Jones, who then grabbed the inbound pass and cruised down the court for the game-winner.

Having tracked down the replay online ... a good no-call.

Be stronger, GU big man. Hold your ground. And Stockton, if you're going to throw it up for grabs, at least throw it toward the basket and make Butler go the length of the floor.

 

Roosevelt Jones is their best player. Rotnei Clarke was their best scorer.

 

So similar to the CU-Arizona game, down to the camera angles and time on the clock. Tad Boyle is pissed at Pac-12 officiating.

 

In the last 48 meetings between Kansas and Kansas State, the Jayhawks have won 44 after tonight's win.

Also, since Bramlage Coliseum opened, Kansas is 23-2 there. K-State has actually beaten Kansas more times in Allen Fieldhouse since Bramlage opened.

 

Going back to the Ahearn Fieldhouse days, Kansas has won 28 of the past 30 in Manhattan.

 

In other news, the unstoppable, just-hand-them-the-trophy-now juggernaut that is Louisville has decided to lure the rest of the country into thinking somebody else has a shot at the NCAA title.

 

Rick Barnes should be fired unless he somehow pulls this season out of his ass. It won't happen. It's been a long time coming.

 

Duke down 14to Miami with16:00 to go.

 

Always a good time when Duke gets crushed.

 

La Salle beats Butler on a last second shot.

Hofstra apparently got beat by Drexel on a contested half-court buzzer beater.

Larranaga's boys ransack Duke.

Those last two remarks mean BYH had one of the worst days of his life. The first one means I'm going to get a pretty nice game Saturday in Richmond when I sneak over to cover VCU.
