B1G game officiating in progress at the USC-Drake game.

Call a little reach-in right after an exchange of wrestling matches and hacking shooters at both ends.

Sturtz is excellent as a garbage man reserve in the MVC. He’s just way over matched athletically here.
Exactly.
He's fine as an 8th man to give a few minutes against the likes of bradley and indiana state. No chance against guys with the size and speed he's seeing today.
 
Refs called a pretty straight game and tOSU did not know what to do on defense without the rough play. A lot of good B!G teams have lost for that reason through the years. tOSU didn't get the second half bail out from the officials they frequently get in conference games either.

This is just so laughably stupid, even by your usual low standards. The Buckeyes held them to 64 points in regulation and 35% shooting for the game. They lost because they turned it over 16 times vs one of the worst defensive teams in the tournament, shot 9-18 on free throws, and Duane Washington chucked up an endless amount of bad shots en route to a 7-21 outing from the field. It had absolutely nothing to do with their defense or the officiating.

Creighton survives.


Am I the only one thinking that if UCSB had pulled off the upset there, McDermott probably would have gotten the axe in the offseason?
 
Iona is one scrappy bunch of hustle. They've got some athleticism, too. Bama playing sloppy and half-assed. Iona looks like a more mature team.
 
Yup, you are. Pandemic year, no need to cut ties when your team makes the tourney. Duh.

Considering the ramifications of his words involving racial injustice - even if just accidental - I wouldn't have been surprised if it were to happen. Could see the university wanting to distance itself from the situation he created a few weeks ago, and still dealing with cause the reporters & announcers can't/won't stop talking about it.

That's right, forgot about that. Completely different situation but since Creighton is private, he might survive it. But holy hell it was a damn stupid thing to say!

He said the word plantation in a non-racial connotation. The woke mob will still want him fired this offseason. One of his assistants even tried to milk it for all it was worth in an effort to take his job...

The horror of it all, many millennial and gen-Y snowflakes may never recover.

Not the brightest bulb here.
 
We sure get a lot of drama in sports nowadays. I'm not up on any of the Creighton stuff though.
