    There are a few guys on the UK board streaming it. This is a great feed...

    Missouri also misses having a head coach. I still contend that Frank Haith will be gone in less than three years. With a sub-.500 record in the ACC and 1 NCAA tournament appearance in 7 seasons at the helm, he somehow negotiated one of the most mediocre hires at a major basketball school in NCAA history. Baffles my mind still.

    KU back up after a McLemore oop.

    I bet Gene Keady doesn't even care. Along with Pittsburgh, Purdue is on my list of most unwatchable teams in college basketball year in, and year out.

    Agreed

    Self just straight outcoached Barnes...which isn't that hard to do so don't take this as bragging from me.

    I think you're seeing the value of a guy like Patric Young coming back to school. 5-star, top 10 player, could've gone to the NBA after his Freshman year and been a first rounder. Kept coming back, twice. Playing at a very high level and not being asked to be the man. Potential to dominate the game at some point if they had to go to him though.

    Similar story with Jeff Withey.

    I wish Brandon Triche always played this aggressive and with this much confidence.

    Louisville's press has the Orange out of sorts now.

    Id have NO problem if Louisville was the 1 or 2 seed in my region come March

    They're a tough call. Good enough defensively to beat anyone, inconsistent enough offensively to lose to just about anyone (tournament caliber).

    Agree. They can't score. Sure, they have some guys capable, but Russ Smith and Wayne Blackshear can also go ice cold. Their defense will keep them in a game, but they are on upset alert against a lower seed who gets really hot.

    I'm far more impressed with Kansas and Florida, who play great D, but can also score a ton of points if their opponent wants to play that game with them.

    He's single-handedly keeping this close...

    Agreed. I'd bet Southerland doesn't play again this year so Triche's play and leadership become that much more important.

    I was saying the same thing to a buddy this week. They don't scare me like Kansas or Indiana. They're a very good team, just more beatable than the other top teams IMO.

    Awesome 1st half though

    Triche is ballin out
  • killer_ewok
    What a half by Brandon Triche. 38 all at the half. If Syracuse can take better care of the ball in the 2nd half I like their chances.
  • Azubuike24
    UCLA is actually fun to watch when they don't try to keep it in the 50's...
  • Pick6
    Should be a good ending on ESPNU if anybody is interested. 1 point game with 2 and a half left.
  • Azubuike24
    Turned it there. Thanks.
  • killer_ewok
    Syracuse falling behind now. Triche cooling off. Someone else needs to step up. Looking at you, CJ Fair....
  • Mulva
    I don't know what to watch. Too bad none of these games was at 2.
  • Mulva
    Dieng should never be allowed to shoot.
  • Ironman92
    Cuse up 2
  • killer_ewok
    He hasn't been great but I like Jerami Grant. Young but aggressive. Not tentative.
