They better rebound than they did at Vandy or they won't go very far. That was awful.

Second time lately they've blown a 9-point halftime lead on the road.
But we've moved into the time of year where pretty much every game, especially in the SEC, is very much a crapshoot.

I don't care about the home court thing, but Mizzou absolutely should not have lost that game. And you can't let a team like that score 97 on you.

Yeah but 16 came in OT, not that that's of comfort.

Behold the power of Memorial Magic.

Was curious about this, but teams who are unbeaten at home this year:

VCU (15-0)
Duke (16-0)
St. John's (18-0)*
Yale (11-0)*
Akron (15-0)
Southern (10-0)
St. Thomas (14-0)
Utah Valley (12-0)*

*-denotes home schedule is complete.

St. John's would be the only team playing at home in its conference tournament. I thought the Ivy went to the top seed but it's at Brown's home court this year.

Also, that fun monstrosity that is the Sun Belt Tournament begins Tuesday. The top two seeds won't tap into it until Sunday, the tournament's sixth day.

Funny thing, I find myself watching a little Ivy League because they play happy hour games, and I don't remember seeing an all-white starting lineup out there.

Tell me you never watch Iowa play without telling me you never watch Iowa play.

I totally get one-bid conferences protecting their top seeds. But maybe they should just not have a full field. Like top six go or something. I'm sure the coaches want everyone in though for at least one more game or whatever.

Yeah, but Iowa started three black guys on Friday night at Northwestern.

You can't spell "Iowa Men's Basketball" without the letters N-I-T.

That may be a pipe dream this season, Coco

How are the Fightin' Falwells allowed to have a fan with a cowbell in the stands for basketball? Even Mississippi State can't get away with that one.
