St. John's at West Virginia, ESPN2, 7:00pm- Chuckie Kempf, Chris Spatola
Line: St. John's -4/146

Iowa State at DePaul, FS1, 8:30pm -Eric Collins, Dicky Simpkins

4 UConn at 5 Kansas, ESPN2, 9:00pm -Dan Shulman, Jay Bilas and Kris Budden

huge night tonight. Xavier with their loss the other day really needs this win in a really tough situation. St John's with a win would really position themselves nicely to finish OOC play at 9-2 with you'd figure 3 Q1/2 wins. And of course UConn playing a gigantic game tonight.

And DePaul with the lotto ticket game.

Damm. ESPN2 dumped St. John's/WVU to ESPNEWS with 4 minutes left.

Ok. A rant. Why in the ever loving f&$k, did I have to sit through the end of a 30 point blow out HIGH SCHOOL basketball game on ESPN2 and miss the first 4 minutes of the SJU game but then they have no qualms about moving that game off to show the start of UConn/Kansas?!?! Look, I get that that game is way more intriguing but I would think the SJU/WVU game would be more interesting than a high school blowout. ESPN really sucks. And the announcers on the game were absolutely AWFUL….

OK….rant complete….Johnnies won….I’m better now…..

Cougars went more than six minutes without scoring and the Musketeers took advantage with a 10-0 run.

With Houston leading by nine, Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson was whistled for a technical for his reaction to a foul call.

Claude hit two free throws, and Gytis Nemeiksa's jumper cut it to 46-41.

Two free throws by Claude put the Musketeers ahead 52-51 with 6:47 left.

Xavier faded late. Damm.

Shit. I forgot. Stupid high school game went forever. Shocked a 4 point game with 4 minutes left got moved. I never seen that before.

Early this week Tennessee/North Carolina was basically over. Last forever. Duke/,Arkansas was on ESPNNEWS for the 1st 8 minutes.
Chris Spatola is trash.

Just awful……I really hope we stick with Fox for our next contract……

No wonder it's hard to win @Kansas, it's 5 on 8.

Totally. Besides the sh-tty foul calls, seems like there were a half dozen balls that went out of bounds off Kansas, but KU was given the ball. I forgot the rule on when the refs can double check their out of bounds call?
