This game is going to be televised by Fox and this is just stupid scheduling Gene Smith must have gotten involved.

The football team will have things well under control enough for me to flip back and forth.

I'm sure the football team will have things under control by then, but I'll DVR the bb game. Don't want to miss any of either.

I watched a bit of the game and heard that Grambling hadn't won a game since March 2012. Yeah. Grambling: not a good measuring stick.

Not to pile on (late to the conversation) but 117 points is a one game sample. Their first game they only beat Southern University by 7 at home. In that game they only made 13 shots from the field (36% shooting) compared to Southern's 21. The score reminds me of the OSU games vs. VMI... shoot the ball withing 10-15 seconds of your possession and put up as many shots as possible. I'd be Marquette's shot chart was predominantly in the paint vs. Grambling.

EDIT: Yep, Marquette scored 76 points in the paint. Box Score

The way these games are being called and played early in the season, if they can hit their free throws at a 70-75% clip like they did the first two games they'll be ok. As a point of interest... both OSU and Marquette have played two games each and all their games have been on their home court. OSU is 54-73 from the free throw line (74%), Marquette is 52-84 (62%).

And I just checked, Grambling is currently #351 in KenPom. There are "only" 351 teams in major college basketball now. I do think Marquette is at this point overrated somewhat.

 

[MD Buckeye]

SportsBook event up. Just pick the winner @ even odds.

 

[scarletmike]

Supposedly the game is on FOX, but nothing but football is on the local FOX station and all the other FOX Sports channels. Anyone know what's up?

 

[buckeyemania11]

[jlb1705]
