I didn't think WVU played as good as they could have, but I can live with a 10-point victory.

Mississippi had about five air balls in the game. That was surprising, though I'm sure it had to do a lot with WVU's defense.

Illini seems ill prepared for pressure D from Mizzou. Down 10 with less than 2:00 to go in half.

41-34 at the half.

You know it's bad when Alex Legion is in the game, 5 minutes in

Just a terrible game by the Illini. They looked soft at times. No inside game at all.

Great job by Mizzou of enforcing their pace on the game. They dominated all phases of the game.

I totally forgot this game was on and that's not a bad thing by the looks of it. Congrats to Mizzou on their first win in 10 years for Braggin' Rights.

I'm so sick of NC State basketball.

Oh, and that Cole Aldrich guy. He sucks too. It doesn't matter that he's had bronchitis all season long and his Grandmother is dying, dude should be out there putting up 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 15 blocks every game. Sorry, I thought I was on a Kansas forum there for a second. /end random rant on the stupidity of some Kansas fans. And yes, I feel much better, thanks for asking.

Haha, those are the types of numbers our 7-foot, 250-lb Croatian frosh (who has yet to debut) averaged in high school.

Man, I've hit the jackpot this year with all the games I've picked to go. Double OT with UNLV, ridiculous shot by Wise to beat Lipscomb(they got screwed) and now this one. That was a much higher quality game than Lipscomb the other night though. Thankfully NC State's best player was suspended for that...

That ACC ref, we had do one of our games in Maui, and he T'd up Miller during the game, and Miller's been on a crusade to get him off this game for months because he said the guy's had a problem with him for years, so I was sort of expecting them to screw us at some point. They definitely didn't get on anyone's good side with some of their decisions, but with about 4 minutes to go, I'm just sitting there thinking, oh man, they're gonna give everything to NC State here, then all of a sudden the last 5 minutes the give Arizona all the questionable calls. Whew. That miraculous Lipscomb win apparently kickstarted Arizona, can only hope the BYU game next week will be as good. This was the first game Arizona was at full strength, albeit 2 guys were still dinged pretty good, but if they can keep riding this momentum to take out BYU next week, they should only be getting better in an overall bad conference up to this point. Need to get a lot better and go about 12-6 or 13-5 in conference to maybe keep the tourney streak alive, but looking like it's win the PAC 10 tourney or else to get the streak to 26 years in a row.
