Running 2011-12 College Basketball thread

I know, I know ... and it's a tragedy that Jim Nantz and Billy Packer aren't there on either side of Dickie V. to make it complete.

 

Colorado State beating Stanford on ESPNU. Just saying ;D. Seriously hoping the Rams and Oklahoma State meet up in the next round. My parent's alma mater vs. mine.

 

And WOW! Stanford just hit one helluva shot 3/4 court at the half.

 

I'm suuure it was juuust as riveting the second time as the first.

Kansas could have went into the half up double digits if it converted around the basket, but instead it was tied. Kentucky opens it up early in the second half and wins by 10. I think both teams are going to be really tough to beat by February.

I was surprised there was a McPoyle playing for UK. [/It'sAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia]

 

Really UCLA? You follow up an 11-point home loss to Loyola with a 20-point home loss to Middle Tennessee?

 

That's Pac-12 basketball for ya.

 

We have our first eyebrow raiser of the year.

Long Beach St. 86, Pitt 76

 

Has a team been more overrated year after year than Pitt over the last 10 or so years?

Every year they come in highly ranked, pad their record with horribly soft non-conference schedules, get a high seed in the NCAAs then disappoint once the dance begins. They did it under Howland and they've kept doing it under Jamie Dixon.

When will Pitt stop getting this undeserved hype?

 

When it becomes another orbiting moon in the Dook-Carolina galaxy.
