Wofford up 11 in second half against UNC at chapel hill

And wofford with the big upset

Oh great. Now we get to be their revenge game.

While Wofford on offense was pretty good, lotta dumb shots but spread the floor like crazy and moved the ball around, on defense it was really confusing why they were giving North Carolina such fits.

 

Anyway makes me feel even better about a Mizzou win over Stephen F Austin where they played an incredible game we were able to eek out despite not playing that well.

 

Missouri has a big weakness with ball handling, and they've had to play the top 3 teams in terms of forcing turnovers (WVU-L, St. Johns-W, SFA-W), going 2-1 and frankly should have beaten WVU. After Illinois, they get to ease up on that with the exception of Arkansas.

Forgot there was a kid from Plainfield North on Wofford. That was cool to see.

Trae Young is simply incredible

I’m in absolute awe of this kid.

OU just destroyed Northwestern...Young is like a combination of Curry’s release with a bit of Nash and Lillard to his game. Should be an even better defender.

 

Kruger is definitely headed for the Hall of Fame. One of the most underrated coaches the last 20-30 years.

 

Pretty crazy to have the Heisman winner and POY for bb the same year.

Buddy Hield, Wayman Tisdale and Hollis Price probably the best three OU players since the 80’s.

You mean besides Blake Griffin (Bradford also won Heisman that year)

I'm excited to watch Trae and Wigginton go head to head this year. Iowa State might be a top 60 team and go 4-14 in the Big 12 this year.

Dosunmu dropped 60 tonight.

We need to set up an Iowa State - Illinois home and home the next couple years for him and THT to keep going at it.

Oops....well, Griffin was completely dominant, albeit one dimensional offensively at that point.

LoLz! Tilmon made wrong choice!

Illinois always gets up for this game. What is definitely a bad team is playing what is definitely the best game they will play all year. Ahh well

I like Missouri's strategy of picking up the dribble every possession 40 feet from the basket. More teams should try this.

To Illinois' credit they came out playing super hard on D. Coupled with the refs not calling much early, they got away with a little and Mizzou panicked. Awful reaction to an eager team.

Don't you worry, it will be close at the end. And this year Illinois has pissed away close games better than anyone.

TV Teddy!

College basketball games with more fouls than minutes are the worst.

This game is unwatchable. College basketball refs continue to be absolute gutter trash.

Given the style Underwood preaches, gonna be a ton of Illinois games like this.

Jontay Porter is having an amazingly bad game

Trent Frazier looks like he's going to be a good one.
