    Florida had over a 20 point lead with 6 min to go. Coach White substituted liberal and Vandy got hot and actually pulled within 4. But Gators held on.

    Scotty Pippen Jr plays for Vandy and is a heck of a player.

    Hope our coach doesn't pull the plug to early in another game.

    Rutgers all over MSU this evening. Izzo is experiencing the worst year of coaching with poor play and the COVID-19. He definitely is not a happy camper. MSU will visit us here Sunday afternoon on CBS.

    Add him to the list of great coaches who are having uncharacteristically bad years, Calapari at Kentucky and Coach K at Duke.

    Illini defeat Iowa 80-75 in Champaign. Michigan now in driver's seat for conference title. This was a nip and tuck game all the way.

    Gators shocked me and we beat West Virginia.

    Purdue may be the most dangerous team in the B10 right now. After being down by 14 points in the first half, they hung a licking on Minnesota 81-62. They're the youngest team in the B10 and one of the youngest in college basketball. They've gone from 7-5 and 1-3 in the B10 to 12-6 and 7-4.

    You may be right Sid, the remaining games should be very interesting.

    I certainly think Purdue might be the best team not ranked in the top 25.

    Gators are an enigma to me. We have beaten two highly ranked teams recently and I am optimistic about about the rest of the season.

    Purdue seems to create a lot of matchup problems for other teams and they are very patient for a young team.

    What is with Sparty’s uniforms today? All black. No logo. No “Spartans” or “Michigan State”. No stripes. Only numbers and players names. Izzy wearin a black “Coaches vs Cancer” mask and all black outfit. Maybe something to do with that. Of course they have the Nike logo.

    One turnover in the first half, but 7 in the second half. We win by 17 points, but I am not confident we deserve our current ranking. Iowa should tell me more later this week.

    Today was another disappointment for him and his team. Give credit to OSU. They played well from the start.

    Great game to watch this evening with Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Close game all the way between two evenly matched teams. TT prevails but the game went down to the wire.

    This late night game on Animal Planet just is not very competitive after the third player on the yellow team fowled out. They all can dunk though.

    Shaka Smart is out of COVID-19 isolation, said that he does not want to talk about it other than he had a pretty rough time.
