Very hard fought win in Charlottesville today.
Our first win in Charlottesville since 2012 if I'm not mistaken.
Very proud of my Heels. Anytime we can beat Tony Bemnett & UVa. That's a great win.

Alabama coming to town and, imo, its a must win for us.
Good luck Larry ! Dan
Impressive win by UK today. Had a 35 point lead with 8 minutes to go (104-69) before we let off the gas and shot crazy percentages through out. 117-95 at the end.

Really don't know what to take from the game because we've been so shacky of late and inconsistent. Fun game but it almost felt like a bad match-up with bama.

Illinois and NC took care of business today too!

Feel same way about Illini . Seems like underwood is making some changes and moves that could help or hurt team chemistry. Our defense has to to get back on course or we will be one and done . Dan

Thanks Dan!
My man had a record game!
He beat Tyler Hansbrough's record of 40 points!
Got really hairy there at the end.
But, Miami has a great Coach in Jim Laranega!
I hope I spelled his last name correctly.
That caps off an awesome day, as I got my Carolina Blue Shirogorov F3 in today!

So dominate! Opponents will be glad he's gone I'm sure.

We were down the entire game and fought off several 10+ point leads. Definitely a nail biter.

A good hard fought win.
We had one in Charlottesville Saturday.
Those type wins are mighty satisfying!

I caught the Wisconsin / Indiana game , which was a Big 10 classic . Ware was unstoppable first half for Indiana as they built a 14 point lead but Wisconsin had grit and clawed back and briefly lead to lose 74-70 . Game was crazy exciting with even a building evacuation because a fire alarm went off ! I did catch the announcer ar last seconds of UK game have a meltdown wish I could have listened to that game . Illinois tonight against Minnesota at home . Need this win ! Dan

Illini over Minnesota 105-97 in a wild shooting game . By halftime 5 ties and 14 lead changes . Together there were 24 three pointers made and shooting percentages were : 65% Illinois and 67% Minnesota . Minnesota surprised me , tough hard nails team with Hawkins running point and Christie hot shooting . Weak bench is probably their biggest weakness . Dan

Fellas do you think that now that the Duke player got a booboo from the court storming we'll see the last of it? Miss State on Tuesdays game had extra security and made big announcements on the jumbotron with 5 minutes left not to enter the area.

Few years ago Indiana beat us and they stormed the court, hurting a couple people and that's the reason we don't play them anymore. Indiana has too big of a history for them to stoop that low.

Don’t be surprised if NCAA shuts down storming the court and fining home court if it happens . Players at least deserve to safely get off the court after playing regardless who it is which bothers me . This only was brought up after two star players were affected . IU fans have the Bobby Knight Syndrome ! :winking-tongue Dan
