I know this is a men's hoops thread, and I'm not going to pretend that I have a sudden interest or even watched the game, but the Cal women's basketball team beat stanfurd in maples yesterday, 67-55, ending an 81 game conference winning streak by furdettes (sorry even women's teams will get no respect from me). A streak that is actually bookended by Cal victories.
Anyways our men's hoops stink, so might as well have something to cheer about.
I'm cool with talking women's basketball. For one, I have a daughter. For another, Texas A&M has one of the best women's basketball programs.
No shame talking women's basketball. I too have a daughter and Iowa State isn't too bad at WBB either. My daughter and I watched the Cal/Stanford game because my daughter was at a sports camp last summer and #33 from Cal was her instructor.
Subject change:
I know Texas is not the Texas of old, but I'll take a victory over them any day. In reference to ISU's 20 point win this past weekend.
That's cool, I celebrate all longhorn losses!
#10 Florida comes to Texas A&M tonight at 6pm, ESPN2.
We're undefeated in SEC play so far, but now that Kentucky is looking like a mess, this is clearly the biggest game so far. A win here would auger great things for the season.
And...down 17 at halftime.
BUT! Johnny Manziel is being interviewed at halftime!
Nice road comeback victory by Kansas today. They were down 49-41 in the second half at Texas, but finished by outscoring the Longhorns 24-10 to win 64-59. It wasn't pretty, but that is some grit to pull it off on the road.
Louisville/Syracuse is turning into a hell of a game. Syracuse looking to beat a #1, up 4 points with 4 minutes to go.
Wife called yesterday to remind me that KU was visiting K-State and be sure to be home in time to watch. Looking further I discover that the Wildcats are ranked #11 (what?). Then I find out they've hired Bruce Weber to replace Frank Martin (WHAT?!). Man, I gotta keep up better.
Michigan may get it over KU, although I think the Jayhawks resume is slightly better. They beat OSU in Columbus, and while they didn't be KSU by as many as Michigan did, KU beat them in Manhattan.
But I don't worry too much about #1 at this point. For one, it's all about being Top 4 and getting a #1 seed. But really, the odds are, everyone will los games in conference. So even if KU gets #1, in all likelihood, someone will take them down.
Today's win over KSU makes the loss to Tech earlier this week more frustrating. I think our road play is going to hurt us when it comes to tournament time. Hopefully we can win out at home the rest of the season.
Tubby's blaming his players again for his piss poor coaching. Just like last year. And, the year before that.
Or how about #15 New Mexico coach Steve Alford saying "We weren't who we were," and blaming their offense for getting trounced by SDSU 34 - 55. With that win, I'm eager to see where we end up in the rankings after being deservedly dropped from the Top 25 last week.
Michigan and the Knicks playing sweet sweet basketball in the same year? What is this nonsense?
Don't worry though, Michigan's win on Saturday will cement us as the true number one.
Sigh another road loss. I guess I shouldn’t feel bad ISU hasn’t won in Stillwater since 1988, when I was in High School.
Aw, man. This is what happens when I go play board games instead of watching the Jayhawks.
This is quite possibly the most bizarre game I've ever seen KU play.
