College Hoops Open Thread

Not too much going on tonight, but a couple games of interest to Michigan.

Pitt is up 18 playing @ #19 Georgetown with 15 left to play in the second. A great showing by them after their 0-2 start to Big East play, which is obviously goood for Michigan.

The other game of interest for Michigan is #15 Ohio State @ Purdue. With 10:20 left in the second, Ohio State is up 59-50 with a 1 and 1 coming up for Purdue. Hopefully the Boilermakers can mount the comeback.

I like how the announcers said that there is not a better facility in the country than Purdue's.  Then he corrected himself and said "except maybe Nebraska."  i thought that was odd since I heard the announcers say the same thing about Crisler Center on Sunday.  Are they just being nice to their hosts or are these facilities really better than our newly remodeled one?

I can't figure out Pittsburgh. Lose to a fairly lousy Rutgers team a couple days ago and now are killing a good Georgetown team. 

OSU looking like mediocre at best again. Will be tough playing in Columbus but if we play our game I think we should win Sunday.

I still think they are a maybe fringe Top 25 team, but tonight's win didn't change anything.  I think Georgetown may be the most overrated team in college basketball.  They are like Wisconsin, but have found a way to score less. 

Georgetown has scored less than 50 points four times this season already.  They beat Tennessee 37-36.  They are an absolutely horrendous offensive team who beat an overrated shorthanded UCLA team and took Indiana to overtime.  That's it.

It's a "good" win for Pitt though, which is good for us.
