Big upset in Evanston today as Northwestern knocks off #1 Purdue.

Remember a few weeks ago when Mike Brey announced he'd be retiring at the end of this season and held a whole retirement press conference? Apparently that's not happening anymore. He may be leaving Notre Dame, but he told Jeff Goodman he plans to keep coaching. Georgetown would seem to be a likely destination with all of his DMV ties.

Jalen Pickett who was held to 15 at Maryland on Saturday, went off for 41 in Happy Valley in a win vs. Illinois. Still contend they are a scary team.

Meanwhile, New Mexico about to hand Wyoming their first road win in over a year. And their first win at The Pit since 2016. Wyoming improves to 8-17, while the Lobos have dropped their 4th in a row and have now lost 5 of their last 6 games. House did not play for them tonight, but they are in quite a slide.

Providence improved to 14–0 at home this year by surviving a 2OT thriller vs. Creighton whose 8 game win streak was snapped. What a terrific game.

Also, fresh off Porter Moser announcing he was not going to entertain the Notre Dame job and intended to stay at Oklahoma, the Sooners decided to show up for the 3rd time in conference play this year and handily beat Kansas St. The’ve beaten Alabama and now K St in the past couple weeks. Texas Tech has beaten Iowa St., Kansas St. and Texas the past couple weeks. Crazy conference. Their doormats would contend with a lot of ACC and Big Ten teams IMO.

It’s weird to see the ACC suck like this. Maryland would be at the top IMO.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Haha. Where are the old guard ACC guys telling us how they miss MD in the ACC and how is just such a superior brand of basketball. That was the mindset. All arrogance and fake hurt that MD left

[Mackus]

I'm still here. Would much rather still be in the ACC. Get why we're not, and everything is gonna be gone in a few years anyways.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

ACC isnt special in any way anymore. SEC and B12 likely will be the top bball conferences for awhile. B10 in the mix too

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I dont begrudge Terps fans for the nostalgia. Its the fans of teams on Tobacco road that acted like they cared MD left and were critical of what was obviously a wise decision to leave

There are some...things going on inside Alabama's basketball program. Darius Miles was dismissed from the team after killing a woman outside a strip mall last month, and now it comes out that Brandon Miller brought the gun that was used in the shooting. Nate Oats says that Miller was just in the "wrong place at the wrong time" and isn't at any risk of being dismissed from the team.

 

It's always been known that the way Oats runs his program is a little shady, but this could really derail things.

“ Darius Miles was dismissed from the team after killing a woman”

Ya don’t say

Seems wild to me that its not a crime to loan a gun to somebody who basically immediately commits a shooting with that gun.

Hey we're not Baylor, we've got standards!

[BSLMikeLowe]

Retrieving a gun and giving it to someone who goes on to commit a murder might not be a crime, but it sure ought not be dismissed with "wrong place at the wrong time." While MD never really had a chance to hire Nate Oats, I'm glad it didn't happen after reading that.
