I know I'm a cliff's notes hoops fan, but games like this continue to cause me to lose interest.

Nobody but Jay Bilas thinks that a game where a team shoots 48 FTs is a good watch

After a bad start we've had a couple of good days, hopefully we can stretch it out to a full week!

Monday:
Purdue and Wisconsin beat ranked Gonzaga and Virginia teams and nobody lost.  

Tuesday:
Purdue beat Tennessee and nobody lost.  

Today:
Purdue is a slight favorite over Marquette in Honolulu and Michigan is a slight underdog to Memphis in the Bahamas.  Wisconsin has SMU in Florida.  UNL and has a home game that should be easy.  

Thursday:
Penn State has aTm in Orlando.  Michigan will be playing Stanford or Arkansas in the Bahamas.  Iowa and MSU have Oklahoma and Arizona out in California.  

Friday:
Ohio State will be an underdog to Alabama in Florida.  PSU will have (I think) FAU or Butler in Orlando.  Iowa will have Seton Hall or USC in California.  Michigan will be playing UNC, UNI, Nova, or TxTech in the Bahamas.  Illinois has a home game that should be an easy win.  

Saturday:
Maryland has what should be an easy home game.

SMU is really athletic and will be a challenge for UW. 

They are the anti-Virginia.

Purdue pulled out the Maui classic with the most stacked field in an preseason tourney ever ... things to work on for sure, but hard to complain when you are beating some really good teams out there.  Marquette is a really good team and going to be top 5 all year long.

Despite the 101 foul/ft semi, bt Purdue and Tenn, that was a pretty outstanding series of games by some pretty diverse and high quality teams.

Maui obviously is the premier ooc tournament.

Weird game for UW. They seem to be playing pretty solid ball, but every time they got close, SM you would slash in for a bucket or hit a three. Wisconsin also seemed very interested in having good shooters spray open threes into the front row.

And then right at the end, they pulled it together and closed it out. Aided by actually hitting threes.

This team feels a little weird because it has a shocking amount of depth. By that I mean, basically every starter has a competent backup. It doesn’t seem like there is as much mixing and matching. There is a slight concern that both back up wings probably need more playing time, but there’s nowhere for it really to come from. Neither of them is strong enough to play a super small lineup. And the backup point guard has been shockingly solid of late, which means no need to play three of the wings at once.

I went to bed at the half. It's nice to wake up to a win.

I read that UW was almost at 1.5 PPP in the 2nd half last night.

Bonkers!

Well too bad.
For a minute there it looked like MSU might be able to pull it out but after their humongous run to take the lead I think they just ran out of gas.

I think PSU, Iowa, and MSU were all underdogs so none of those losses are surprising but I was hoping we would pull one of them out.

Pretty clear to everyone that Purdue is the class of the conference and one of the top, if not the top, teams in the country.
