College Basketball 2023-24

Watching LSU /Alabama women's basketball. Tight game, I didn't know Jay Barkers daughter was a star guard for the Tide. Good looking young lady as well as a player

 

On this day in History, 50 years ago, the Irish ended the UCLA 88 game streak in South Bend.

 

I remember it well. My 3 year old daughter was on my lap when the game ended. I jumped up and gently tossed her in the air, almost hitting her head on the ceiling.

 

That Purdue Boy could coach!

 

Speaking of Alabama, and basketball...it was just announced that they will be honoring a new inductee into the Alabama Men's Basketball Ring of Honor...my old hero Kenny Lofton;

Ex-Cleveland Center Fielder Named To Arizona Basketball Ring Of Honor

 

Stu, I think you mean Arizona, not Alabama.

 

Yeah...that's the one! Duh!

 

Final senility note; when I skimmed that article (it really talked more about his baseball achievements) I really thought it said "Alabama". Then I thought I never knew that Lofton was a basketball star in college.

Then you corrected me and...geez...I remember definitely knowing that he had been a star at Arizona.

Cognitive decline? I think I'll ask Dr. Jill. She seems pretty lenient along those judgements.

 

West Virginia took down KU today in a close game in Morgantown.

In another close game the Longhorns go to Baylor and win on a coast to coast run ending in a game winning layup as the clock expired. When ever I see that I always wonder how the defense allows it, especially in an EOG situation.

 

Ohio State finally won another game vs Penn State today 79-67.

 

Here's my buddy yesterday after the NU game. Anybody remember the first and last guys?

 

Terry O the ladies did pull it off over Iowa and Clark in OT 100-92

 

No.

 

Court rushing big victory Don, I hope though that Catlin wasn't injured in that collison.

 

Coach Danny Nee...and Eric Pietkowski

The girl is Harper from NU VB, and the other guy is Heinrich Haarburg, the NU QB...replaced by Chubba Purdy...since transfered...because the #1 QB recruit in the land is now here!

 

After Nebraska beat us one of Painters concerns was for the NCAA to somehow stop the court rushing before someone gets hurt. He didn’t blame Nebraska for it but brought up that the juniors on our team have never lost a road game without the court being rushed.

 

Me too Terry, that looked like an accident, but she was hit pretty hard in the video.

 

Looks like she is OK per 11 Warriors. com

"I'm OK, thank you," Clark said after the game. "Great environment, obviously. These are the kinds of games you love to play in, 18,000 people here. I can see they're storming the court, which was fine. Good for their students, great win for them. I was just trying to exit the court as quickly as possible so I started running. I was just absolutely hammered by somebody trying to run onto the court and basically blindsided."

 

She did get 45 points today. I just remember watching the OSU/UCLA game and was impressed with 2 of your players. Don't remember their names but they were really good, UCLA just had too much size on you guys that day.
