I watched ASU vs Georgia and thought I was watching Real Madrid - that team flops more dramatically than anyone I’ve seen. Any bump and they flail back like they’ve been punched, and sometimes after no contact at all. Was embarrassing tbh. The refs were continually fooled by it however.

wth, Colorado lost to Hawaii after losing to Indiana St, I thought Colorado would have an outside shot at an at-large with a strong Pac12 but guess that is done. Arizona St will be the only team that will have much of a shot at an at-large.

Juwan Morgan had a triple-double Saturday, second ever in IU history, pretty cool.

LolKenpom guy had Purdue 25

Lolololololololillllll

would have thought everyone could have figured out I meant that Colorado would need a strong Pac 12 record, as in 14-4, but they would need more like 16-2 now. Pac12 is dead as a 3 bid league and maybe only hope of a 2 bid league is Arizona St having a good conference season and not winning the tourney.

especially considering my second sentence in that message.

Anybody else on board the Marquette futures train? Backing one of the dookiest dookies of all time as a UNC fan feels lame, but Wojo has a squad that I can absolutely see a deep run from. Markus Howard is the #1 candidate I’ve seen to provide a potential Stephen Curry type deep run into the tourney. The two white brothers both spread the floor and rain 3s and they finally play good defense vs being pretty awful the last 3 seasons. I’m a full believer that they can go deep.

Shammorie Ponds is the coolest guard to watch play imo. Reminds me of 1990s NYC college pgs

Not going to lie, my hatred for Louisville is down from a 10+/10 to just a 9/10 now that Pitino is gone.

But **** the cards

I can be your Herro baby
12-29-2018 , 03:19 PM
Tyler Herro and Keldon Johnson should each play 33+ mins per game for UK.

Video above reminds me of a situation at work that came across my desk that I had to follow up on the other week. Basically at one of our locations an old guy claims another old guy came up and randomly hit him in his arm (fact: he brushed up against him by mistake). So he spoke to our employees at the location and we basically deemed he was crazy and old as **** but if he wanted to pursue the issue we told him to call the cops. He decided against that and waited outside for the old man that allegedly hit him and gives him a piece of his mind. Situation escalates from there and then the guy that claims he was initially hit ends up getting arrested. He now wants everyone fired and demanded a sincere apology. I've spoken to the old gentleman twice and yep he's ****ing crazy. Actually scary someone like that can vote but whatever lolOlds.

Turns out those were the glory days for the Pac12. Best team now is 42. Oregon.

Rough day for the B1G as well.

Wisconsin loses to WKU
Illinois loses to FAU

St.Mary's is 9-6 at 43*. Another WCC team is 44. Then you get to the 2nd P12 team.

*I have no idea why or how looking at their sheet they're even in the top 100

KenPom has a preseason component that doesn’t go away completely until January sometime. I would imagine that St. Mary’s was expected to be good as usual.

Same thing has been keeping Purdue up there.

I think the worst team has to be Arizona State though. No defense and the worst coach in the conference.
12-30-2018 , 10:42 AM
St Mary’s has gone from 75 preseason to 43 now.

I guess most of their losses are close but yeah it seems weird that they’ve jumped from mid 70s to mid 40s despite a very mediocre record.

I grew up a Marquette fan (raised in Milwaukee, dad and grandparents are Marquette alums) and even though I'm UVA#1, I've always still be a fan of my original team.

Ever since they hired Wojo, I've basically stopped paying attention to them. If I catch them on TV, I root for them, but it's been so hard to care with Wojo as coach. I know it's totally stupid, but I can't deny my feelings.

even ESPN has taken notice of the lolPAC12:

With five losses on Saturday's schedule, the men's college basketball season went from bad to worse for the Pac-12, which is assured of the worst December by a major conference in the past 20 years.

Coming off a winless NCAA tournament last March, the Pac-12 will be the first of the Power 5 conferences plus the Big East to finish December with a win percentage below .600 in the past two decades.
honorable mention for lols yesterday goes to San Diego St., who were down 28 at home to Brown at HT.
