Still hilarously awful at 3 point shooting.  Might be last in the nation by the end of this game

Sadly up to 5-19 now which actually improves their season average

For the first time in years I am actually excited about the upcoming Basketball 🏀 season because my school isn't handicapped by bad coaching. I say that not knowing who the Ohio State coach will be but thrilled to know that it will not be Chris Holtmann!

Just to update, 3-1 ties Chris Holtmans worst start, and he only once had a loss by November 15, so

Yeah but with Holtmann you always knew January was coming.

Always tough to tell what a new coach is trying to do, but the Buckeyes are contesting shots. They are #1 in the land in efg percentage defense.

Then they are poorly equipped to play MSU who will miss unchallenged shots

Last night's Purdue-Marquette game is the perfect matchup to burn a Tuesday evening during college football season.

Purdue was overwhelmed on the inside, especially to start the game; the Boilermakers have yet to fortify the paint without Eddy.

On Marquette's end, Kam Jones achieved the third triple-double in school history, and the first since Dwayne Wade's Elite Eight game Vs Kentucky in 2003. We hear plenty about triple-doubles in the NBA occurring quite often, but Marquette only has three in their history? I hadn't considered how the triple-double translates to college basketball with a higher degree of difficulty.

They are WAY less common for a couple reasons.

1.) The game is only 83% as long.

2.) There was no shot clock at all until the mid 80s, and initially it was 45 seconds.  A decade later it was reduced to 35 seconds.  20 years after that 30 seconds.

So the game is shorter, and there are fewer possessions.  In the history of the NCAA Tournament, there have only been 10 triple-doubles, and two of them belong to Draymond Green, who is a triple-double machine in the NBA.  He is the only player ever to have multiple NCAA Tournament triple doubles.  He got his in 2011 and 2012.  In the 12 years since then, there have only been 2.  Ja Morant in 2019, and Marcus Domask last year

To add, the NCAA career leader has 12.  The NBA season leader has 42

This Alabama-Illinois court in Birmingham looks like an NCAA tournament court from the 90s.  I hate the standardized courts, even though I get it.  I lived recognizing games on common courts based on the floor

Drake upsets Miami.  After Indiana State's quick success last year, if Drake follows, I wonder if the D2 ranks start getting raided for coaches more often.

Although Drake has some real hateable potential.  Up 12, they scored an uncontested layup rather than running out the clock.  Then when Miami was going up for a layup, one of their guys pushed him in the back, up 14, with under 10 to play, on a dangerous possession.

Oh man didn't realize we have some daytime basketball
