I hope they figure out the defense because I have drank a season's worth of booze these last few games and there are still 13 games left in the regular season!

Yep. Should be a good year for carpet sales in Cincinnati too as I'm wearing mine out pacing the floor twice each week in front of the big screen in the family room when our Bearcats are on.

Tulsa up 9 at UCF at halftime

There were some phantom fouls called against Tulsa at the end there...but I guess it's good for UCF's NCAA bid to win that game.

I found todays games entertaining, but tough at times. Still glad I watched it and that Gregg Marshall blew a gasket toward the end there.

WVU beats KU w/o Konate. Good win for them, badly needed.

Yep.

SMU looking like a high school team today. Temple getting beat by 10 to an Ivy League team. Both UCF and Tulsa both looked crappy today. Conference championship comes down to UC and Houston. These other teams just don't have the experience to keep their intensity and poise over an 18 game schedule. That's why UC and UH will be the survivors of the 18-game grind.

Really looking forward to Duke v Virginia

Temple loses to Penn at home. Lol AAC magic. 2 bids

Just like in football they’ll still find a way to beat us

One of those bids will be the Bearcats.

In the Houston vs South Florida game there was a total of 62 fouls called

The conference race will be a very Darwinian affair. I hope we can do it again this year.

Penn has had some bad losses but they also beat Nova and Miami FL.

Ivy league is 10th is the RPI, 12th in the NET. Ahead of the Mountain West, C-USA, and Missouri Valley in both rankings. Ahead of the A-10 in one.

The MAC is 8th rated league this year. Best Mid-Major rating. American is 6th ahead of the PAC-12.

It's too bad that ESPN has deemed Dook-Carolina as the ONLY rivalry in college basketball.

UC-X, Indiana-Purdue, UK-L are just as compelling... but anyone under 40 will never know that.
