    Tbf to Virginia they’ve had more success. Iowa St basketball feels like a more appropriate comparison.

    Basketball fans from Indiana suck. I thought it was just Indiana and Purdue but even Indiana State fans cry about obvious out-of-bounds calls that go against their team.

    Definitely noticed the same when they were in East Lansing earlier this year. They whine about every call.

    Somehow, they've taken the worst court I've ever seen, and made it worse.

    I think it’s better than before, but it’s still a very bad court.

    The next step in Oregon basketball joining the B1G will be a Michigan fan coming up with a hilarious quip about Oregon‘s yellow uniforms burning their eyes, without a hint of self-awareness.

    This is a reference to like 2014, their uniforms have been nice recently. You'll be interacting with a lot of MAC alums so that should be your angle :thumb:

    Gophers are trying their best to score in the single digits in the first half. Just one made field goal in the first 15 minutes of the game.

    Came to post this and you already had.

    My son said, “we are only down 9 which is 3-3’s. That will probably take us 30 shots.”

    We crushed them 4-2 over those final four minutes of the half, so things are looking up now.

    What is this 7 points in 3 possessions to start the half?

    Edit: 14 points in the first 20 minutes. 13 in the next 4:04.

    That lineup was our most effective last night which was cheeky and fun against FDU, but is ultimately very concerning for the rest of the year.

    Also, it had the crowd in a frenzy seeing 5 small white guys on the court at once, which is also concerning but for much different reasons.

    If you're gonna play a bunch of white guys, they should be tall lumbering oafs.

    Considering throughout the history of the program, the opponent has scored immediately after each time we've done that, Duke can keep it.
