Thanksgiving week men's basketball games


Recommended Posts

Memphis won by 8.  Former Big 12ers scored 55 of its 71 points.

Houston-Alabama game just had a play ending with 4 guys on the floor and Houston getting credit for a timeout.  36-34 Houston with Alabama ball and 19 seconds left.  22 fouls called so far.

What a war going on in Vegas.  56 fouls called so far, and nearly all of them deserved.  Houston up 2 with 4:30 to go and ball.  Make that and ft coming after foul 57 called.  Both teams in double bonus of course.

ISU pulled it out last night.

A lot of good games today, starting with UConn playing for 8th place in the Maui tournament.  Hurley's head will explode if UConn loses again today.

A&M faces Creighton.  Will be interesting to see how well they defend Kalkbrenner with Payne/Coleman. 

Memphis-Auburn will have bigs galore on the court, and Tyrese Hunter is on a hot streak, being 12/20 bta in the tournament.  Memphis as a team is hitting 45.3% bta, and that has been against a very tough non-con schedule.  Baylor, San Diego State, and Alabama are the only teams in the Pomeroy top 50 to have faced tougher competition so far.

OU will start playing in the weirdly lit arena in Nassau in the Battle4Atlantis.  I always hated that place for games on TV.  Gonzaga and Arizona are the heavyweights there.  OU plays Providence today.   Other schools in the tournament are bigger in name than talent this year, but Louisville, Indiana, and WV are considerably improved from bad 2023-24 seasons.

Future patsy opponents New Orleans and ArkyPB are playing at Baylor and Pacific.  That'll push Memphis's NCSOS above Baylor's for sure.

Louisville 89 Indiana 61.  Indiana went 10 possessions without a score in the second half before a Cardinal retaliated after being clobbered while making a layup.  IU hit the technical ft.

As a result of that game, Louisville and IU exchanged positions in Pomeroy.  Louisville moving from 58 to 38, and Indiana dropping from 38 to 58.  They will jiggle around a little as the day goes on, but that was kind of unique to see. 

Colorado tied with ISU in an all-Big 12 5th place game in Maui.  22-22 with 7:51 left. 

WVU trying to hang with Gonzaga.  27-23 Zags with 5:46 to go first half.

So other teams that are ranked can go long stretches without scoring? I thought that was just RT and his lack of an offense.

41-11 run by Louisville at the start (and a lot of the middle) of the second half.

Mark Few angry, just not Hurley angry, about a foul call on a Zag player when he bit on a fake and the WVU shooter then jumped sideways to make contact.  Three ft for DeVries.  Teams had been trading single point leads.  DeVries missed the first, so they still can.  2:50 left, WVU up one.

DeVries hit a three then got a steal and was fouled on the breakaway.  He hit both ft, and this game is tied with 5.9 seconds left. 

Rather than save the timeout in case it couldn't inbound the ball, Gonzaga called timeout after the made ft.  I thought that was dumb because WV called timeout after the first made ft, and Zags could have called their play in that huddle.
