It is getting interesting!
  • #4 Gonzaga is tied up late and
  • #16 Penn is still within striking distance (4 points) of #1 KU about half way through the second half.  
Nevermind.  Gonzaga won and as soon as I typed that Kansas went on a 24-9 run to put their game out of reach.

No upsets in the first four games:
  • #3 Tennessee obliterated #14 Wright State
  • #1 Kansas pulled away late for a comfortable win over #16 Penn
  • #4 Gonzaga got all they wanted from #13 UNC-Greensboro but won
  • #7 URI needed OT to beat #10 OU
As I type this:
  • #2 Dook is up big on #15 Iona at the half
  • #6 Miami and #11 Loyloa (IL) are tied at the half

SDSU is almost not even guarding the three point line, with good results for them so far

Bucks average 19 triple attempts a game.  They have 12 attempts in the first eight minutes.

So far, I'm getting a distinct chalky taste in my mouth so far.  :)

I like in that picture how Purdue Pete looks like he is about to deck the NC ram....or maybe pull off a "This is Sparta!!!!!" moment.

Dakich playing very well for the Bucks.  Daum for SDSU is a scorer.  He's got an NBA offensive game.

Daum could be thinking about a graduate transfer if he's not headed for the NBA

Bucks were rolling, but SDSU hit  couple deep threes and now Andre Wesson and Kam Williams look to be out with sprained ankles.

43-43 at the half.  No real qualms with how the Bucks are playing.  Announcers talked a lot about the Bucks' threes, but they were mostly wide open looks.  SDSU did not have wide open looks and still shot 56% from three compared to 37% for the Bucks, each hitting nine.

These experts are killing me. Criticizing OSU for selling for wide open threes. Saying SDSU should shoot quick, instead of going through their NBA caliber player
