Thanksgiving week games

[ousdahl]

for CnB!

anyone seen anything good? Anyone plan to?

(1) Duke vs. (8) Auburn could be fun...

[NewtonHawk11]

Potential and likely matchup of Gonzaga and Duke would be a blast to watch.

KU with Marquette and Tennessee/L'Ville is good on Wednesday.

Michigan State/UCLA might be alright on Thanksgiving night. As is Texas/UNC.

[PhDhawk]

I'm interested to see how OU performs. They have Florida tomorrow and then either Wisconsin or Stanford. Should give some indication about how good/bad they are.

This week is a treasure trove of awesome college basketball.

I am attending Texas Tech vs. Nebraska this evening. They are practically giving away front row tickets.

I know it would not really work with how things are currently set up, but: wouldn't it be cool if, in Thanksgiving week, football and basketball had the same opponents? So (and of course this assumes you'd care to do this), you could travel this week and see KU play (for instance) Tennessee in both football and basketball.

[ousdahl]

That would be rad.

I wish more such thought was put into matchups and scheduling.

I’m in the break room at work and Xavier-SDSU is on. Woo workday basketball!

The best part of it is Bill Walton on the call, as he raves about the “exquisite” basketball being played.

Bill Walton is never anything but the worst part about a broadcast. I'd rather listen to Vitale call every game, ever, if it meant never having to hear Walton again.

Duke/Zags would be a dream early season matchup had Gonzaga's best player not be hurt. Duke/Auburn tonight will be an exciting up and down game though. It's weird looking at the Maui bracket and not seeing Chaminade in it. Makes for better matchups, but still kind of liked the Cinderella aspect of them in a tight game. Missing them is almost as weird as changing the name to Maui Jim Maui.

Las Vegas Invitational is usually a fun even to watch. Another test to see how the Big 12 will be when Texas plays UNC, then Michigan St vs UCLA.

Love Feast Week!!

Whoa, didn't notice Chaminade missing. Wtf?

Throw it down, big fella!

Duke Auburn apparently a whistle fest so far...3 auburn players already with 3 fouls apiece

[ousdahl]

Bruce Pearl and K in Maui polo shirts is a battle of man boobs

[ousdahl]

Duke shoots 20 free throws before Auburn shoots 1

These refs in Maui are whistle happy. I'm watching the Zona vs Zags game and it is brutal.

[ousdahl]

Zona was up double digits for much of the game, but Zags score 52 in the second and win handily.

Dukies Zags tomorrow! Top 3 matchup!

What I learned tonight:

1. Jarrett Culver is the latest example that shows Beard can find and develop talent.

2. Since they left the Big 12, Nebraska fans have learned absolutely nothing about basketball. Booooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

It's not just a Nebraska thing or Iowa State thing or West Virginia thing. It's a redneck thing. I've talked to rednecks in Iowa who think that you're supposed to boo anytime a call goes against you - it's part of going to the game.

Arizona - Gonzaga was interesting. Kids were playing their hearts out, but the refs seemed to think the game was about them. Different crews would have produced very different results. Really seemed today that zebras were in on a Duke - Gonzaga final.

Interesting. No one cared to post about TCU last night.
Was last night more of a case of TCU being overrated or shit happens?
Not that Lipscomb is a bad team. Heck, they may end up being the 2019 version of the 2018 Loyola Ramblers.
