Agree about Kansas. No way are they top 10.

Well, Purdue doesn't play Rutgers before they play us, so I think they'll still be #1 when we beat them.

If we actually make it through this non-conference schedule without loss...I mean...it would be up there with Tommy's biggest achievements so far at AZ.

That was an amazing tournament in Hawaii.

I think that all four of those teams are really good, will likely be even better in March, and we will/would face a serious contest against any of them.

I'm really looking forward to the (first?) Purdue game, but MSU first!!!

Both FAU and aTm say "Defense? We don't need no steenkeen Defense!!"

I was actually impressed with FAU. They will be no push over when we face them.

FAU plays that small ball line up and can shoot it. They shot 53% from the field, 53% from three making 16 of those and 87% from the line. Going to be a fun game and we will have to see who dictates the line ups late

C’mon Duke get your shit together you private school fucks.

The Iowa Crackers seemingly average about 6'8"

They were down at the half to Southern Indiana?

Who tha fook is Southern Indiana?

Herb Sendek and Santa Clara just beat Oregon 88-82. First win over Oregon since 1997. We are now the only undefeated team left in the conference.

Does anyone aside from us have a good win? Every time I look at scores Pac schools are either beating crap teams or losing.

Great stat line for Adama Bal: 10-14FG; 2-5 from 3; 5RBs; 4Ast; 1Blk; 1Stl; 0TO; 25Pts

The pac 12 doing preseason pac 12 things. Gonna have to go 20-0 to get a 1 seed.
Oregon, USC, Furd, and OSU all lost.

Any losses in conference are definitely going to bite us in the ass bigly. Can’t wait to join a real conference.

I really can’t recall a Pac hoops season like this one we’re having in football. 5-6 teams ranked most of the season, meaning ample opportunities for quality wins from Jan to March. More often (especially recently) it’s been that our only real opportunities for good wins happen in Nov/Dec, with the occasional match up with a lower ranked Oregon or ucla or Colorado.

It’s gotten so bad that we now have to root for all these non-conference opponents we defeat throughout the season. This year, it’s go Duke and MSU!

I refuse to ever type those words. I don't want them to have bad losses, but I wont outright cheer for them.

I hear you, but the reality is that the better they do this year, the more it helps our cause.

Same. I can never root for Duke or the Illini in any situation.

My approach is: "Fuck off you entitled pissants, you gotta be good for something!"

TTech vs Butler was a great basketball game.

Hurley v Self. Groan. C'mon Hurley.

Miller had a legit chance to beat Sampson.

I thought ASU was playing Kansas for a second and was worried you were being held captive somewhere.

My brain is never completely free of some delusion.

Wildcats are tied with Purdue

Hurley ties Self. Self technically loses.

ASU has the wrong Hurley

Nah. They have the right one.

Purdue is preparing to hand Az the number one ranking without a fight.

I don't if we beat them as a 1 or a 2 just so we beat them.

Fuck UCONN

Pur-don't going to OT

I can’t believe how bad Purdue and NU are at FTs.

Purdue can't handle the pressure of being #1. That's okay, we'll show them how it's done.

Hehehehehehe

As an aside, we're totally going to be paired with Xavier for the Big East/Big 12 battle next year, aren't we?

Yes

Next week say hello to the #1 ranked Arizona Wildcats.

Purdue losing that game actually moves the pressure off of them to beat us and puts the pressure on us to win that game.

So that's a good thing, these guys will have to go to Indy with a target on their back as the hunted instead of the hunters. It'll be good to be hunted by a non con, this will have some final 4 feel. That is considering we win the next few games til then.

Thanks for fucking up 1 vs 2 Purdue

I’m not counting a win against an Ivy until the final whistle sounds and we are ahead on the scoreboard.

Beat Colgate

It’s a Little Ivy (or Hidden Ivy) and I’m not counting my ascot-wearing chickens until they hatch.

If it was hockey I’d be more concerned.

No way are we losing to a toothpaste at home.

Iirc the last time a Patriot League team played in McKale they won.

Colgate is an Ivy in the same sense that Bobby Hurley is part of a great coaching family. They each claim membership, but the other members disavow their affiliation.

Fucking Wisconsin. I want Badger blood.

And I want them to win so that when we destroy them everyone has to talk about how they were coming off a huge win and got humbled.

I know that makes me a “bad fan” but fuck it. Go Badgers.

Oh don't get me wrong, I want them to die on the highest possible hill.

Kentucky got smoked by uncw!!

Big weekend for ranked upsets
