Purdue looked pretty tough getting a win at Alabama.

Yeah, gotta give them credit. I had them pegged as a paper tiger, but they played like a #1 last night. Tough win.

I agree - I miss the days when players who played different positions had different skill sets. Watching a Patrick Ewing or JR Reid or Brad Daugherty or Eric Montross play center or power forward as it was meant to be was something. Now even centers and forwards spend much of their time just jacking up threes. Those days in the late 80s/1990s were special. As you said though, I guess I'm just getting old.

Agree, but at least this years' Heels team is passing and moving without the ball. What I hate are 4 guys standing around while one guy dribbles mindlessly around the half court - eventually shooting a contested shot.

dook, in the midst of the most brutal regular season schedule ever, is playing Indiana State tonight.

Good luck, fellow brothers of the light blue.

University of Virginia scored 61 points today.

In the first half.

In men's basketball.

I gotta say, for all the suffering they experienced having to watch Bennett's snooze fest all those years, I'd feel happy for my UVA friends if Odom could make them good AND exciting.

Georgetown beat Clemson today. Georgetown also won AT Maryland and beat Kentucky in a scrimmage in Lexington.

Georgetown needs to be in the conversation of tough non-conference opponents with KU, UK, Mich St, and Ohio St.

Maryland's top scorer had a dunk and then landed awkwardly and messed up his hip.

Warning: Do not look up this video if you're at all squeamish. It's really rough.

It looked like he could have injuries to at least 4 parts of his body the way he landed.

Impressive second half by a short handed BYU last night

Demary is tough. Really wish UNC could’ve landed him

Rock Chalk JayHawk!​

I'm with you, but with no Peterson, it's going to be a very tall task.

MSU - Kentucky will be interesting since we face MSU on Thanksgiving, followed by Kentucky on December 2nd.

Yep. Even with our game against Navy tonight, I wonder if there's anyone from the staff attending that one in person.

 

[Heelsandeers]

Of course Duke gets a Petersonless KU

There's a certain hilarity to it that would be gold as a cartoon. Or if the player was a bad person who you didn't mind getting hurt.

 

[Enigma94]

That sucks Peterson is out.

 

[BillyL]

MSU having a good game thus far versus Kentucky . .

 

[Centerpiece]

That sucks Peterson is out.

A dookie win will be tainted with Peterson missing the game for KU.

 

[Peppers49]

Michigan State is absolutely mauling Kentucky.
