Running 2011-12 College Basketball thread

I literally laughed out loud at this.

I'm not sure when it's going up on the Jobs board, but they're in need of a functional human being to run the clock at Cassell Coliseum.

 

I'm wondering if it was the clock itself that was malfunctioning and not the human. Weird that it would just stop for five seconds in the middle of the action.

 

Could very well have been the clock itself, I suppose. Ridiculous either way. Four official time reviews in the second half?

 

I was actually referring mostly to VT getting the timeout when nobody had the ball, but the clock thing was weird too.

 

That was a terrible crew in Blacksburg tonight. And aside from the Jontel Evans end-of-shot-clock prayer 3, nearly all of the bad calls favored the Hokies.

 

Yeah, those guys weren't good. The Evans 3 and the timeout were both really bad. Karl Hess has done a good job of distracting people from how bad Jim Burr is.

 

Puppies cough up 13-point halftime lead to Kentucky at the Hump and lose by 9. That's four straight losses for State. Can you say NIT, Stans? I thoughtcha could.

 

Colorado State upsets No. 18 New Mexico, snapping the Lobos seven-game win streak. Second win vs. a Top 25 team this year for the Rams. Welcome back to the good side of the bubble.

 

I was disappointed to see that, too, because I wanted to see KU-Mizzou on Saturday with as much at stake as possible. I know it's going to be crazy anywhere, but the thought that the game would be between two teams tied atop the conference ... that doesn't always happen in this rivalry so late in the season.

As it is, if KU wins tomorrow night at Texas A&M, I like the thought that KU could win Saturday and build a two-game advantage on Mizzou with two games left on the Big 12 schedule, meaning the inside track on a No. 1 seed.

 

It didn't help their cause that this year's Big Ten is clearly the strongest top-to-bottom conference in the country THIS SEASON, and there's no debate about it.

 

Yeah, that was an awful call. All you had to do was watch Erick Green going back to the bench after the timeout, with a look on his face like he just got away with something.

 

Allen Fieldhouse will be eardrum-popping loud, even with the Missouri loss last night. Even if Kansas wins tonight, still a ton at stake Saturday.
