... As a possible neutral party, what did you think? ...

I had it on while on the computer, but was not watching close enough to have an opinion. I see that KY was called for 20 fouls vs 25 for Auburn, but that doesn't tell us what the calls should have been.

I hate that we didn't have our big guy and our other sort of big starter, McLemore, who usually shoots 3s didn't score.

One more question, don't you sit after 2 flagrant 1s?
Second question - what about actively bleeding?
Everything I look at says that you do. Maybe I'm looking at a different league.

Your game is tight

Idk, here are the rules:

I found that a "flagrant 2" is an ejection, but then got confused with whether a 'flagrant 1" is also a technical and how that relates to ejection after multiples, got bored, gave up. I suspect your local sports writers will let you know if the refs screwed it up.

Second question - what about actively bleeding?

Supposed to be covered, if the refs see it.

Lotta back and forth with the lead, maybe Duke has the margin it needs now - 5.

He had a leg injury in practice. Too bad we didn't have him for a big game like this.

Your favorite team, #21 NCSU, just came back to beat Clemson in Raleigh with a long 3-pointer at the buzzer. Not sure if they allowed warm-ups.

Good luck vs. Miss St.

We can both hate #1 Tennessee.

We have the bammers tonight

We have the bammers tonight

Good luck. You're on the cusp of whether it'll help get you ranked again. #2 Duke at #3 Virginia in a week. It's beating up St. John's right now. Good news for you: #12 Virginia Tech 47 at #23 North Carolina State 24. :confusion-scratchheadblue: I thought it was the halftime score. 2nd lowest Wolfpack score ever!

... This is interesting, Michigan was poised to possibly take over #1 from 2-loss Duke.

Wisconsin hands No. 2 Michigan first loss of the season

(Unranked) Iowa, Luka Garza stun No. 5 Michigan (74-59)

Davison, Happ, No. 24 Wisconsin beat No. 21 Maryland 69-61



The Adidas, etc. corruption saga goes on:

NCAA suspends Kansas center Silvio De Sousa for two years

I don't think I've heard of a two year NCAA suspension before, Kansas says it's "shameful". His Wiki page doesn't say whether he's good enough to jump to the NBA. He could probably play pro in Africa or Europe.

Congrats, rout.

Arkansas upset #19 LSU at LSU, good for you in the SEC. Might create the space for you to get ranked again.

Indiana upset #6 Michigan St at Michigan St in OT. Good for all other ranked teams, and for the female gymnasts.

We have the bammers tonight

You're not ranked yet, even dropped a couple of slots - which says more about Bama than it does Auburn - but NC St didn't get any votes, congrats.

Bammer by 21

And Florida by 13.

So fun to watch Pearl. The kids love him.

@ #21 LSU 83, Auburn 78, too bad. Making the NCAAs might be at risk.

No. 1 Tennessee beats Florida 73-61 for 18th straight win

No. 2 Duke hits 13 threes en route to (81-71) win at No. 3 Virginia

Worse, we were up 16.

Ugh. Next year.

[billy.pilgrim]

I turned it off during halftime

(am I turning into a bammer - they only exhibit spirit when winning)

Ouch. It's a 2-way street and WDE ain't holding up its end.

#2 Duke just squeaked by #16 Louisville on Tuesday, 71-69. Your favorites North Carolina State on Saturday.

#1 Tennessee @ #5 Kentucky on Saturday.

UNC has sneaked up to #8, O Really.

[billy.pilgrim]

May you kill them - by at least 50. Watch out for the sneaky stuff.

[O Really]

UNC has sneaked up to #8, O Really.

Yeah, getting ready for the start of the real season.

[Vrede too]

Yeah, getting ready for the start of the real season.

It began 2/11 with the loss at home vs. #4 Virginia 61 - 69. Probably will drop from #8.
Polls

Then, there's:
2/20 at #2 Duke
2/23 vs. #17 Florida State
2/26 vs. 17-8 Syracuse
3/2 at 15-9 Clemson
3/9 vs. #2 Duke again, regular season closer
19-5 UNC

Ut-oh.

Doesn't matter. If they win half of those, they'll still be alive on March 17 when the real season starts.
