Great game, especially if your team is ranked 12th. Kentucky won't be #10 for much longer.

Gotta imagine UK fans are growing impatient with Cal.

#3 #5 lost and #4 plays #8
A couple other teams have some tough games left this week also. Beat Baylor on the road and I think we get close to top 10

Seems to be using youth as an excuse a lot

Purdue,the Big 10s best team, gives up 15 points, in OT, at home, against Northwestern.

 

[twincyties]

We win Saturday we’re top 10.

 

[rosshm16]

Purdue shot 46 free throws last night (eight attempts for Northwestern).

I remember when Kelvin Sampson complained his team only shot 12 free throws compared to our team's 22.

 

[NWICY]

The fighting Steve Prohms blew a 23 point second half lead on Saturday in a loss to SIU and followed it up by blowing a 15 point lead with 9 minutes left tonight in a loss to Illinois State. Both at home.

Murray is now 8-14 and 5-6 in the Valley.

Woof.

Glad he is Murray St. Problem, hope he is stacking cash between ISU and this contract, maybe he can become a SAHD after Murray St.

I hate it when teams use free throw discrepancy as a way of saying the officiating was one sided. I don’t think that tells the whole story.

I care less about rankings than anyone in the world. Just want to win Saturday.

The voter polls are such BS. Don't worry, I would like to see a little number by our name.

I agree...however. I seem to think that of many MVC teams and they actually haven't done great in the tourney recently.

• 2023: Drake lost first game as 12 seed
• 2022: Loyola lost first game as 10 seed
• 2021: Drake lost as 11 seed
• 2020: COVID
• 2019: Bradley lost as 15 seed

But don't forget that in 2021 Loyola made it to the Sweet 16 by beating 1 seed Illinois. Drake did also win a play-in game that year.

I do think Indiana State is legit this season.

Drake beat Wichita in a First Four game in 2021 as well.

Per CBS, this will be the first time ever that four top-10 matchups occur in a single regular season weekend.

Saturday:
(4) Houston at (8) Kansas
(5) Tennessee at (10) Kentucky
(7) Duke at (3) North Carolina
Sunday:
(2) Purdue at (6) Wisconsin

--> Granted, UK might not technically be "top 10" after losing to UF, but ... that isn't how weekly ranking works.

To me it's usually one team being able to assert itself for positioning etc.
