College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Houston having a tough time right now doesnt surprise me. Texas A&M gave them all they could handle early in the year. The conference schedule is going to be tough for them now that they're in the Big 12.

Iowa St leads Houston 31-21 half.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Iowa St leads Houston 31-21 half.

First time they’ve trailed at the half this year.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Houston had 3 points in the first 9 minutes, I thought good teams didn’t have scoring droughts?!

 

[Lukusw]

KY drops 47(!) On Mizzou in the first half...but, um, only lead by 5.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kentucky is going to win this game. They’re the much better team. Wild that Mizzou is going to fall to 8-7 after what they did last year. Tough times in Columbia.

 

[Lankykong]

Houston’s just gonna win this anyway :/

Kentucky is going to be a handful this year.

Not necessarily. While close,Iowa St is making Houston play ugly and that's not their game. It's been an enjoyable game.

South Carolina getting blown out by Alabama. USCe went in to game 13-1 maybe more who they played than being good.

 

[VolGee4]

At 13-2, George Mason was inching up some metrics and rankings (58 in Net), but they just lost to a below average VCU team at home. Shot 0-15 from 3. It will still be a good midmajor win, but it would nice for them to stay top 60.

Exactly. I don't think Mississippi St is good either.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Houston down 2 decided to take an off-balance 3 early in the shot clock with just 30 seconds left and missed. Weird decision. Iowa State is going to win.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Iowa State up 4 with 10.7

 

[chuckiepoo]

Cyclones gonna hold on in Ames! 57-53, 10.7 left, UH ball out.
Final

 

[ttocswob]

And then there were none... Iowa St upends Houston 57-53

 

[Volprofch05]

Houston goes down!

Welcome to the Big 12!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Welcome to the Big 12, Houston. It’s only going to get tougher from here.

I'm sure @jeff1cougar is burning up the Houston boards

 

[chuckiepoo]

Do we have to play down on the Plains this year? That place is nuts.

No

 

[Lankykong]

Nice, I really thought Houston was gonna pull it out but I also like jinxing

 

[CornbreadVol]

I don’t understand why Auburn feels the need to showboat after ever single play. It’s corny. KD Johnson will literally make a layup and then stare down the opposing bench. Idk, it may just be me

 

[chuckiepoo]

Purdue is next on the upset agenda! Cornhuskers up 41-30 at the half!

 

[walkenvol]

#2 Houston trails Iowa St 3-14 12 min remaining in 1st

10+ minute scoring drought - has is that possible for the #2 team?
