College basketball thread...

Not a prob, FB.

And I'd in turn like to thank Lester for filling us in on Rochestie.

 

I can't imagine what it must have been like in Lubbock after Texas Tech lost to Centenary on Saturday night. Louisiana Tech found out to the tune of a 42-1 Texas Tech run last night, and an 80-19 deficit at one point. La Tech went 19:30 without a field goal. 42 to 1 run. Not sure if I've seen that before.

Texas Tech's kind of interesting. They beat Gonzaga handily in Alaska, played Butler tough (shooting 60 percent from the field; Butler was 16-of-24 from 3), yet have lost to Sam Houston State and Centenary. They've got three really nice looking freshmen, the best young group Knight's had in a long time, including even his last few years at Indiana. They'll take their lumps in the Big 12 this year (that league looks good this year) but look to be decent if he can keep anyone from transferring.

 

Holy balls! A 42-1 run? That's unheard of at the Division I level.

I would have had fun writing that story from either angle.

 

"Coach, do you think that 42-1 run had a large impact on the game?"

 

Can you imagine Knight's reaction if you asked him that?

 

This S. Carolina-Providence game has drawn out tens of people to Philly's arena.

 

Even Knight would have to laugh at that. Saw a 33-2 run a couple of years ago. It got to the point that the entire press box had their heads down laughing.

 

I'm sure the LSU-Villanova game will see a few more.

 

Actually didn't draw that much more. And they missed a doozy. LSU leads by 21, dominating, blocking any shot within 8 feet of the basket. Then Nova goes nuclear over the last 5 minutes after the LSU center fouls out and wins on a putback with 6 seconds to play.

 

nice collapse by LSU

Was Leslie coaching the hoop tigers tonight?

 

well, brady did get T'd up for apparently counting 1-2-3-4-5 to the officials tonight trying for a 5-second call on reynolds.

 

When I heard about the collapse, my first question was: "What the hell is Dale Brown doing back on the sideline?"
