Are we still talking about college basketball?

Oklahoma State had some of the worst end-of-game possessions I saw last night. At the end of the second half and the second overtime, the guard threw up some wild, contested turnaround jumper from half a step inside the three-point line. The first overtime wasn't as bad, but Marcus Smart takes a pass with three seconds left, walks it up two steps and throws a three-quarter court heave (that surprisingly almost went in). In all three instances, they had time to get a much better shot off but they settled for the most difficult one possible.

Fun game though, considering the low score.

one of the most prestigious honors colleges. nice usage of context clues tho wisconsin. 0/10 again

So what you're saying is that going to this "honor's college" at ASU is like winning the special Olympics?

The best honors college of all honors schools = winning special olympics?

0/10 try again wisconsin

Oh so now it's the best? Well I guess most schools don't need an honors college because their regular admission standards are higher then Barrett's.

Is there really a case for Villanova to make the tournament? Besides back-to-back wins against at home versus Louisville (who just came off a tough loss to Syracuse) and in overtime against the Orange, their resume is complete and utter garbage.

Look at these losses and tell me that this is a tournament team:
- 22-point defeat on a neutral court against a bubble Alabama team
- 18-point beating at home against the worst team in the Ivy League, Columbia
- losses to A-10 teams LaSalle and Temple, the latter being a 15-point rout
- 18-point loss to a "meh" Cincinnati team (I understand why Cincy's safely in and won't argue as such, but I'm never impressed when I watch them)
- swept by Providence, of all teams

I understand the entire college basketball landscape is down this season, but it's gonna be awful when these fucks steal a bid from some other bubble team just because they play in the Big East.

Fuck Alabama, too. They will finish second in SEC and win 20 games, but their resume blows and they suck using the eye test too.
