Methinks that if this continues, our RPI might just go up a couple of slots.
And I now love Bill Walton ... when he's not doing CU games and talking about everything but the game.
15-20 from 3. They don't have an offense rebound because they basically haven't missed.
Ya think?

right? But you gotta admit - they ooze with talent, and when they're on...they're on.
Oregon's court may be my least favorite design. I love the outdoors and think it's cool they tried to incorporate nature into the court...but it's really distracting and odd imo.
I concur with that. I like our rather reserved and stylized portrayal of the Flatirons much more.

I understand perfection is not possible, but I think that was as close to a perfect game as I have ever seen. 16-21 from 3 and at that point they had only made 2 2-point jumpshots. I would hate to be the next team playing Arizona as they are going to take out their frustrations on them.

Tonight is clearly a bad night to be a top 10 team.... This is why College basketball is so much better then NBA because every team has a chance to win every night.

This was Oregon's best game of the year. You may recall that when UCLA beat us, their fans said it was their best game of the year. When very good teams are "on," they look unbeatable, but next time out it's a new game, 0-0, no guarantee what level of play will occur. I doubt we win at Oregon, but expect we'll be closer than today's game.
Not a college score, but I noticed a high school game report tonight.
UCLA may not be slipping as much as we expected on PG play if Lonzo Ball leaves for the NBA after 1 year as expected.
UCLA-bound PG Melo Ball scored 92 points in his game tonight.

I suppose Melo will also require only one year of college before he "graduates."Not a college score, but I noticed a high school game report tonight.

There's 3 Ball brothers, and apparently Melo is the youngest, rumored to potentially be the best at this stage of his career. The younger two are also committed to UCLA, but Melo is only a sophomore.
I hate ESPN, but sometimes CNN in the morning sucks too. Anyway, SC led off with a segment on that game, and the highlights were pathetic. Melo was cherry-picking hard - after scoring, running up to half court, not playing any defense, or even an attempt at guarding anyone, and then running out for a fast break layup. He shot the ball all the time - terrible example of how to play bball.
The reason for him trying to score so much is that there is a female classmate of his that is in the hospital, and he dedicated the game to her.
So that's a nice reason and all... ...but the manner in which the impressive stat line was achieved was extremely weak. It reminds me of that guy that rebounded his own missed layup, on the wrong basket, in order to get a triple-double...forget his name, but it was in the NBA, not college. Melo Ball is only 15, so I can get how he can think this is cool. However, the Chinos HC should be ashamed for letting that happen. The highlights I saw were pathetic. Melo apparently has the talent to have an impressive stat line without cherry picking and mocking the concept of defense.
Edit: Apparently Chino plays a cherry picker regularly... ...so that definitely changes some of my chagrin at watching the highlights. Still, it's a very odd way to play, and apparently Chino players were fouling to keep the game going to get Ball more shots... ... ...really odd.

I hope that girl is okay. That didn't look good.
Yeah. I need to know before I feel comfortable laughing. Cheer is a really dangerous sport. I've known several girls who shattered ankles or tore knees from being dropped.
I saw this on TV news last night and they said she was not hurt (by either of the falls) so it's OK to chuckle.
