OT: NCAA Basketball 2019-20

[laker]

I get a little bored with retirement, too. But not 260 miles away bored.

Worth every mile. I worked for Bill Fennelly for several years at his summer camps. Great guy to work for. His players were friendly and genuine. One player who was my assistant at camp saved two people in a car crash, Dragged them out before they burned up. Pretty electric atmosphere as they kept hanging in there against superior personnel. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Oh, I can cross the Big 12 off of my list- Baylor was the last team I hadn't seen play in person. College # 491.

Woke up early- drove 260 miles one way to Ames to watch Iowa State women upset #2 Baylor by a point on a free throw with one second to go. Needless to say, Kim Mulkey was furious. Cyclones slowed the game way down. I got a free ticket as I went to the ticket booth. I think that has happened a couple of dozen times at different venues.

Utah State punched their ticket over San Diego State, but Baylor also lost today to West Virginia. Will one or both drop to the 2 line and can Kansas and Gonzaga distance themselves now?

Big game in the Pac-12 now is Stanford/Oregon with USC beating UCLA earlier.

West Virginia's second half come back win after being down by 20 points was awesome. Let's Gooooo Mountaineers!

Seems so early.

Boise State women beat Fresno State 80-76 in OT in the MWC title game, head to the NCAA tourney for the fourth straight year.

And their men beat UNLV in the men's tournament, the only team to beat San Diego State so far.

WAC statement on Chicago State & KC calling off their games.

Has a D1 team ever done this. Apparently Chicago State Men and Women basketball teams are refusing to play against conference teams in Washington or Utah due to the Corona Virus being present in Washington. They're also considering sitting out the Conference tournament in Vegas. Not like they would win anything as both teams are at the bottom of the conference..

Do they realize how far Spokane is from Seattle? Western states are much larger than those in the East and the drive is over 4 hours if they wouldn't be willing to play Gonzaga in the tournament for example. My city hasn't had any cases and I'm not really worried as Seattle again is about 4-5 hours away. For Utah, most of the teams are in the Salt Lake City area so it makes more sense, but Dixie State is over an hour away. The virus has also been found in Oregon and a Middle School gym has been closed down.

Pac-12 teams of course are still playing the cellar dwelling Fuskies in Seattle as an example. Also remember, Spokane is host to 1st and 2nd round games this year.

UMKC canceled Saturday's game at Seattle.

The WAC should give Seattle and Utah Valley forfeit wins over Chicago State (as well as their first round WAC tournament opponents if they don't attend the tournament). Also, Chicago State is struggling as a school and should highly consider dropping down to D2 or NAIA. Nobody else has complained about playing any other Washington schools

Wow. I wonder how much longer CSU will stay in the WAC. Bottom dwellers athletically, trying to recover from enrollment problems and now this.

Hard core Gopher fans are now blaming Brenda Frese for running up the score and leaving her starters in the whole way. 9 players got at least 15 minutes in so I posted the box score for an answer. Why can't fans just admit it when their team sucks? They played with no hustle and yes they did give up. It was embarrassing to be there on the home floor.

Because most are delusional and living in the 40s/50s/60s glory days for sports. Gopher fans are some of the worst in the country, they can be unbearable like some of the truly hated fan bases nationally. They for some reason think their teams are relevant in all sports, despite the constant losing.
