Wyoming at 8-1 plays California tomorrow.  The only other time the Cowboys ventured away from Laramie and the comfort of the arena at 7220 feet they lost in a not so good way.

I fear that Berkeley with its temptations and its riots du jour will be the undoing of my beloved Cowboys.

This morning Mike & Mike made the Appy State analogy when talking about the Michigan loss to NJIT.

Nice to see Michigan was able to use the embarrassing loss to NJIT as motivation and kept it close against Eastern Michigan.

Meh, just tells us that Michigan isn't very good yet.  Ice-cold shooting.  Beilein will figure it out.  That'll definitely sting when it comes to tournament time, though.

It does put the NJIT loss inperspective, though, much as the loss to Oregon put the ASU loss in perspective.  Neither of those upsets was nearly as big an upset as the emos thought at the time.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Wow, Michigan just looked terrible today. I mean, no defense at all.

That didn't look like a Big-10 basketball team.

WVU beat Marshall 69-66 Sunday.  Marshall's coach said after the game that WVU would be afraid to play them again and further suggested playing a ridiculous two games per season.

Huggins was not amused.

http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/16/west-virginias-bob-huggins-torches-marshall-after-coach-calls-huggs-afraid/

QuoteHuggins: Do you want to get into it? Let's be honest. I have all the RPIs of all the people we've played this year. Going into the game Marshall was 270 in the RPI. After playing us they jumped all the way up to 237. Now, you know what that would do for us if we happen not to win? We were 36 I think it was coming into the game.

You try not to play anybody below 200, you know that. And now they want to play twice in a year? Are you kidding me? It's like I said: Why don't we do what's best for West Virginia University and the state of West Virginia. I don't think it's my job to support them. I don't think that's part of my contract.

He can say I'm afraid all he wants to say I'm afraid. I've probably coached 1,116 more games than he has. It's ridiculous to say something like that. We're afraid. Yeah, we're really afraid. It's crazy, we've beaten Duke. Mike's a pretty good coach. Was I afraid? I don't think I was afraid playing Duke. Played Boeheim. Used to play him every year. He's a pretty good coach, I wasn't afraid. Why would I be afraid?
[...]
VMI's RPI is better than Marshall's. Come on. It doesn't help us. From a pure basketball standpoint of where we want to go it does not help us. Now it helps them. I understand his point, it helps them. Oh, to get us to come in, fill their place with 7,000 people? That's a big thing for them. It's not my job to do that. That's his job.

Tony: Will you make any move not to play them in the future?

Huggins: I think if this kind of thing continues, why would we? Why we want to sit here and hear we're afraid? Go find somebody else to play.

Huggins should say he is fine with it so long as Marshall also agrees to play Kansas twice a year.

I finished what was hopefully my last final exam ever yesterday so now I can check to see who Rick Barnes beat 40-39 while I wasn't able to pay attention.

LOL I said that, and went to check the scores, and saw that in the game I missed they beat Texas State 59-27  :lol:

I saw that score at halftime.  Texas State had 9 points :D

Now you had better stay focused on Lipscomb tonight.

Meh they are just padding their record until conference play begins.

Texas fans are well trained now, everybody understands it is all fun and games until conference season starts then we really see if the team is any good.  Especially this year, so many great teams in the Big 12, Texas could easily finish 4th or 5th.

Well ok there is a game against Stanford coming up.  That should be fun.

Man even the team most of us just pencil in as the worst team, TCU, is freaking 10-0.  Maybe they can improve on their 2-34 conference record.

They haven't really played anyone yet.  But 10-0 is a good confidence booster, I'm sure.
