Ha, btw I thought Bob Thuggins left Cinci. They should have played this at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Indiana upsets Kentucky! Great game and what a finish. Only caught the last few minutes. Was watching the Nova/Temple.

Indiana-UK was a great game. just an awesome finish. it's games and finishes and atmosphere's like that that make college hoops so awesome.

X-Cincy not so much. why is Tu Holloway still in a 21-point game with 9 seconds left? and where are any comments from Chris Mack? at least Mick Cronin seemed generally upset after the game about it. Gates has to be gone for at least 5 games at the least. and the dude stomping on Frease needs to be done too. crazy

Agreed, save this thug ball for the NBA. I love college ball because it usually isn't like that. The cincy coach said it best when he said he may take back some scholarships because it is a PRIVLEDGE to get a scholarship while other kids can't afford college. Couldn't agree more, hope some of these players get kicked out of college, what a complete disgrace.

Conference play time!

This is when the excitement begins in college ball. How anyone can say the NBA is better than college ball must be on drugs.

Got my OSU at Wisconsin tickets for Christmas, also going to Indiana at Wisconsin. Nice start for my Badgers giving Nebraska a rude welcome to the Big Ten in another sport tonight!

Robbie Hummell has to be pushing 40 years old. Guy was at Purdue when Drew Brees was playing there

Seriously, I can't believe he's still around.

Anybody that says that either doesn't really like basketball at all or worships Satan.

I can handle NBA playoffs(though most of the first round series are pretty crummy), but it just doesn't compare. Even those really stacked HS teams they show on ESPN are better than 98% of NBA games.

Agreed.

Plus the NBA playoffs last for two months, which is way too long. At least make the first round and possibly the second round best-of-5 series instead of 7. Nothing compares to the entire month of March, with conference tournaments and then the NCAA Tourney.

Yeah, NCAA Basketball in March and early April is about as good as it gets. It helps that UConn is always so awesome, but I love watching those games no matter what.

The conference tournaments-the first weekend of the tourney pretty well trumps everything else in sports. What else is on that level consistently? Totally loved watching the Mavs dismantle the Heat and as a Cards(and by most accounts any baseball) fan that WS run was unbeatable, but on a year to year basis March Madness can't be matched.

Good call on the first weekend of the NCAA Tourney, that is great basketball right there. That weekend and the conference tournaments weekend are two of the main reasons why college basketball trumps the NBA. And agree that March Madness can't be matched.

To be biased, UConn's run last year, winning the 5 games in 5 days and winning the NCAA to end the season winning 11 straight games was pretty remarkable.

The Cardinals' run this postseason was pretty damn good also.

Rambis35

Yeah, watching UConn win 11 games to end the season was great. What a season!

Medical red shirt last year, so it's basically his 5th year.

As a Purdue fan, that killed me last year. We were all thinking they were going to be a final four team that season for about two years previous.

I don't watch much NBA, but I'll pay attention to the Celtics with Moore and Johnson on the team, who were in Hummel's class.

Zing! Actually they both had minutes yesterday, and probably will get more if they keep losing.

Hoyas! Big comeback last night.
