Games of Interest (2015-16 Edition)

[WSUwatcher]

I didn't watch the Kittens play Texas tonight, but I did just see in a "highlight" their last possession (down 71-70) after the missed Texas FT gave them a chance to win with 13 seconds to go.

All I can say is, Wow. If you ever want to watch a video of a bad possession in which a team doesn't turn the ball over, find that one. No attempt at penetration by the guard or even any apparent look for it; no serious attempt by Johnson to make a quick move to get himself open underneath or for a lob; no attempt at cutting to the basket by anyone; Wade turning away from the basket on his "move" with the ball, thus ensuring that he'd be unable to do anything constructive -- what a fiasco. And yet Wade actually got himself a halfway respectable-looking and open shot for three, although either it was out of his range or he was out of gas, because it barely reached the rim.

NOT a good look at the end by our brethren from the Little Apple. Texas just about made me look silly twice in a row for complimenting them recently. At least it was a quality loss for K-State, though -- as it presumably would have been regardless of which team ended up winning.

K-State found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

And what the hell is wrong with George Niang hitting that dude in the junk? Seems to me that should be just like a punch and he should be suspended just as if he had punched the kid in the face.

How does it compare to the 2005 NIT WSU v. Vandy game?

Going to go off ESPN's bubble watch instead of Lunardi's bracket. Here is the link: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bubblewatch
Games tonight * team on bubble:
Temple *@ Tulsa* -6.5 Need Tulsa to win to help out WSU's loss
Clemson* @ Georgia Tech -2.5 Need a Georgia Tech win even though Clemson is 16-11 with RPI of 98
Michigan St @ Ohio St* +6 Need a Michigan St win to move Ohio St to 10-6 in Big Ten and RPI is already 73
LSU* @ Arkansas -3 Arkansas win would send LSU to 16-12 and possibly out of the discussion of bubble
Vanderbilt* @ Florida* -4.5 Florida win might kill Vandy's chance at a at large with a 8-7 SEC record as of today
Alabama* @ Kentucky -13.5 Alabama win will help their 7-7 SEC record and help WSU's loss as their RPI is 41

Excellent choice of polar opposites, DU -- Vandy had about 1/13 as much time, and got a 100% better result. Every Man a Commodore!

Temple @ Tulsa 25-12 then GHurrs go on 11-1 run

Ulis for UK is really nice player, I guess you are either a point guard or you are not a point guard. There ain't no in between.

[WSUwatcher]

Going back mentally a few years (easy to do when you have as many to go back as I do), or even just looking at the geography now -- doesn't it seem just weird for Temple and Tulsa to be facing each other in a conference game?

[shoxilla]

Tulsa 60-46 my my my oh myyyyyyyyyyyyy

Interesting you would root for another team on the bubble who could possibly take your spot just because you lost to them earlier this year.

The Flagship trails Baylor 37-45 with 14 minutes left in the second half.
