Bear Down Wildcats

Oh my. Checked in on that one and the arrows from Portland Bible only played or had 6 guys. They were down 63-9 at half.

Portland St of course played its entire 12 man roster and the last guy got 10 minutes. Three starters played 12 minutes. They went from playing the big boys and showing well to playing a team from a conference/level I have never even heard of

Portland Bible only has 6 players total.

What’s even the point of scheduling such a mismatch? Might as well play a high school team.

That school only has an enrollment of 220. It's part of the association of Christian College athletics...and it's not even division 1 there, it's a division 2 ACCA school.

Of course, Creighton shooting 1-12 from 3 in the 1h against Texas.

1-15 now, but remains very much in the game.

1-18 now, 14-40 overall with 12 minutes left. Can't hit the water from the beach.

Doesn't work that well, they're 4-6

Isn't that the team with the guy that scored 130 points in a game like 10 years ago?

If so, they try to shoot within the first 7 sec of the shot clock.

Legendary Louisville coach Denny Crum, age 85, has been entered into hospice care. Rumor has it he's pretty pissed about Louisville's 0-8 start.

'Sup Houston?

Well Creighton lost to BYU, 4 L's in a row, next 2 are at ASU and at Marquette, so, we could have started them off on a 6 game losing streak.

Sorry Creighton fans.

Already not a good win anymore

Good game between Memphis and Alabama on ESPN2.

Yeah Memphis came damn close to winning at Alabama.

Kansas mopping the floor with Hoosiers.

Creighton is broken

Grady Dick is unstoppable

Maybe Kansas has too many international players.

Did we break Indiana and Creighton

Hoosier fans were all "We match up way better against KU than UofA" after we beat them.

We demoralize teams.

The Arizona effect.

Brandon Miller is insane and unconscious.

All in a losing effort though

Nice win by the Zags vs Bama.

He sure stopped burnin' in the final minutes.

Virginia vs Houston makes me want to take a nap.

Houston is so tough

Except when they play Kent state

Zags' hangover is worse than ours. Go Griz!

Iowa chokes away homegame to Eastern Illinois - from CBS Sports:

"Eastern Illinois pulled off the biggest upset in men's college basketball in decades on Wednesday as it stunned Iowa in Iowa City, 92-83. The win for the Panthers, who were 31.5-point underdogs at Caesars Sportsbook, marked the largest upset by the spread in at least three decades, according to ESPN. Previous 30+ plus point underdogs in college basketball before Eastern Illinois' win in that span were 0-558."

"Even more remarkable an achievement for Eastern Illinois was the way in which it pulled off the unlikely and near-impossible. Not only was it a massive underdog, but it fell behind 18-4 just six minutes into the action, which made the uphill climb to an upset all the more improbable. By halftime, though, Iowa's lead was just six points before EIU outscored the Hawkeyes on their home court 55-38 in the second half."

Watching UConn at Xavier. It is amazing how Sean Miller's offense has changed. It is on Fox. I don't know if it is regional or not.

Does my dark heart good to see the man back and spitting out plays on the sideline.

CSM burnin' in the huddle!

Book Richardson, Xavier's Sean Miller end silence, start 'new chapter'

Myron Medcalf
ESPN Staff Writer

Dec 28, 2022

NEW YORK -- After No. 22 Xavier's 84-79 win over St. John's on Wednesday night, Musketeers coach Sean Miller and his former assistant at Arizona, Book Richardson, spoke for the first time in five years.

The NCAA hit Richardson with a 10-year show-cause penalty earlier this month for his role in the FBI's bribery investigation five years ago. The NCAA cleared Miller of any wrongdoing in the Arizona infractions case that preempted his dismissal in 2021.

The two had not talked since Richardson's arrest in 2017 for accepting bribes. But that changed Wednesday night.

After he completed his postgame radio interview, Miller embraced Richardson, whom he'd distanced himself from while the infractions case against Arizona persisted.

"He said, 'I love you,' and I said, 'I know,'" said Richardson, who was an assistant on Miller's staff during his first stint at Xavier.

Richardson also said he joked with Miller that he "nearly gave the game away" after St. John's had cut an 18-point second-half deficit to five late in the matchup. It was only the second Division I game the former Arizona assistant had attended since his arrest, he said.

Five years ago, Richardson was one of the four Division I assistants arrested for accepting bribes in what the FBI alleged was a scheme to funnel money between coaches, shoe reps and financial advisers to influence potential NBA prospects. Richardson was fired by Arizona in 2018, pleaded guilty in federal court to accepting bribes to steer players to what the FBI called "corrupt financial managers" and then served a prison sentence in New York two years later.

Arizona initially faced five Level I violations. In the Independent Accountability Resolution Process that adjudicated its case, the panel "found no violation" for Miller. The panel also penalized Richardson for "knowingly providing false information and refusing to disclose information relevant to an investigation of possible violations" before it announced a 10-year show-cause penalty for the former Arizona assistant. The penalty will greatly diminish Richardson's chances of working in college basketball in the future.

Richardson, who helps run the New York Gauchos grassroots program in the Bronx, said he attended Wednesday's game because he wanted to see Miller, his friend and former boss whom he's known for 20 years, so he can move forward.

Richardson had last seen Miller at a basketball event in 2019, but the two did not talk then.

After they hugged and briefly spoke, Richardson said Miller told him that he wanted to sit down with his former assistant in the future and talk.

Richardson said the meeting wasn't closure after five years of silence but an opportunity.

"I think it's a new chapter," he said.

Go Xavier!

UConn/Xavier is a really good game. Best of all it should be over when the UA game starts.

Fuck any team coached by a Hurley.

The refs are really on Sean's side in this game.

Not sure about that. A UConn flop wasn't called and the fouls on the 3s are questionable.

T

I love the Xavier fans. They are loud and passionate.

Entertaining game for sure. Go X!

Win or lose, Xavier should be top-15 next week and CSM should be in the conversation for COY nationally. He only brought in like 1 kid who plays regularly. Their turnaround is all coaching.

A Hurley getting a T at a critical moment… so predictable

There was a steal by UConn near the basket in front of the UConn bench at which a Xavier player grabbed a Huskie right in plain view of the ref. No call. Maybe the ref figured it's a steal and a bucket so I'll just let this go without adding insult to injury. Then a time out and shortly thereafter the T on Hurley.

Welcome back CSM!

Happy New Year Coach!
