OT-Saturday Hoops Open Thread

Submitted by MGoBeer on

Some solid games on today
Pitt is up two going into overtime over Syracuse. We're definitely pulling for the upset here.
Miami-NCSt should be a good game at 4.
At 7, Florida should kill Ole Miss and Marshall Henderson will throw a temper tantrum.
Lots of other ranked teams playing before our game tonight.

Syracuse is 9 of 24 for FGs so far in this game (37.5%), but Pitt is 1 for 9 from three-point land (11.1%), which is a large part of the reason why Pitt, despite shooting 10% better than Syracuse overall, is only up by two.

Pitt rebounding half their own missed shots.
Edit: They also have 15 turnovers now. You'd think a team that could rebound like that would put a focus on ball security. Just chuck threes and put back the misses.

Big win for Pitt means Michigan shouldn't drop below five even if they lose tonight plus it puts a little more luster on our win over the Panthers. Hopefully, NC State can beat Miami later.

SEC basketball...SMH.  Boring and pointless. Watching the Tenn-Ark game made me wonder something - is this what people around the country think about watching B1G football?

Not getting the game, but it looks like Tyler Lewis the MCHOBBIT is having his best game of the season with Lorenzo Brown out today. I don't think he started but he has 14 pts (4-7 from the field), 4 asts, 1 TO. MCHOBBIT.

Anyone know if there's any way we can find out who tonight's officials are? There must be some sort of way to find out. I'm sure TV Teddy begged and pleaded to work tonight's game.

Unless refs are allowed to work two games in one day, we won't be seeing Eddie Hightower as I'm almost positive I saw him working the Purdue/Northwestern game earlier today.

This of course leaves things wide open for Teddy.  Oy.

The officials in this OK State/Kansas game are trying their hardest to make KU the winner.  Some really questionable calls going against the Pokes.
