This week: Michigan State(RPI of 47) and @Purdue(RPI of 11)

Texas:
22-3
RPI: 8
SOS: 20
W/: vs RPI top 50: 7-2
Best wins: @Kansas and North Carolina. Kansas #2 in RPI, UNC #10 in RPI.

if they both win their games at the end of the week...Ohio State should be #1 because of the Purdue game

Even though we kick that @$$ back here in Columbus I am concern about the game.

Purdue will be motivated:
- At home
- Revenge for earlier game this year
- Revenge for us beating them on their home court last year

St John does it again. They just beat #4 Pitt at home. Hardy hit a gw lay-in(tough shot) to win 60-59!

They've now beaten - #4 Pitt, #5 Duke, #8 ND, #9 GT, and #12 UCONN.

Give Lavin COY now!

RaptorsandBuckeye FaN · 02-19-2011, 04:01 PM

Down goes TEXAS...to Nebraska. 70-67

Nebraska almost gave Texas the game. They were up 11 with 1:40 to go. Texas would go on a 12-1 in 40seconds of play!!! Yes 40seconds of play a 12-1 run. Nebraska missed 5FT and had 1TO during that stretch. They also foul Hamilton on a 3point shot(he hit all 3). Texas would tie it at 65-65.

Then Texas foul Nebraska on a drive with 40seconds left. Hit both. Hamilton for Texas missed a 3. Nebraska rebounded it and hit 1 of 2FT to go up 68-65. Then Nebraska AGAIN foul Texas on a 3point shot(he hit 2 of 3). Nebraska hit 2FT to go up 3 and Texas missed a 3 for a chance to tie it.

In a little over a min of play Nebraska missed 6FT, 1TO, and foul 2 3point shooters. That is how you almost blow a 11point lead with 1:40 left in the game. Lucky for them Texas missed one of the 3 FT at the end of the game.

I am ridiculously ecstatic over the Red Storm winning.

No one saw this coming. I always liked Lavin when he did ESPN games(My favorite) and was hoping he would do well at St John. He has turned that team into a pretty tough team. Now they just have to find away to do it away from home.

They could be a 4-5 seed in the NCAA tourney with the way they're playing!

SoGood · 02-19-2011, 05:18 PM

I don't understand how even before today's game...St John's isn't even a ranked team even though they beat all those ranked teams... did they have bad beats to unranked teams?

tough break for Texas losing...ouch...

Yes they did.

They loss to st. Bonaventure(14-10 A10 team), Fordham(6-17 A10 team). Two games they should have not loss but that was earlier in the year. They really are peaking right now which is good for them.

They're 17-9 now. Before this week(when the last ranking came out on Monday) they was 15-9 and not many teams that are 15-9 at that time of the year will be rank(they did get votes though). Now at 17-9 after beating Marquette and Pitt I will guess they will move up in the top 25 to about #20 when the new rankings come out on Monday.

**Claudius** · 02-20-2011, 09:29 AM

Yep. They're a really tough home team and all it speaks to is how difficult the Big East is to play in. The teams are just so difficult and even your 'mid-tier' teams are not cake walks.

RaptorsandBuckeye FaN · 02-20-2011, 03:08 PM

Ohio State goes down @#11 Purdue.

Nothing like letting Moore score 38points(13-18 shooting, 7-10 from 3, and 5-7FT).

That means so far 8 of the top 10 have lost this week. Crazy.

SoGood · 02-21-2011, 12:25 AM

should Kansas still be #1 this week?/??

It will be Duke most likely.

Right now I guess you can say 4-5 teams really have a argument of #1.
