Alterique and Wichita vs Houston

[GoDAWGS]

Didn’t Houston’s best player transfer mid-season? Forget his name...wiry, athletic, skilled

Caleb mills, idk where he ends up but he's a star

 

[GoDAWGS]

the bubble getting pretty crowded now

I think that USC win puts us squarely ahead of them, Nova on Saturday is huge

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Happy to see Alterique happy. He deserves it.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Happy to see Alterique happy. He deserves it.

This and Issac Brown: talk about making your head coaching debut in an awful environment to come into. Nothing but respect to him for how he steered the ship after the Marshall debacle and the exodus it caused.

Lil dude just loves the AAC.

 

[Jorgensen]

Caleb mills, idk where he ends up but he's a star

He went to Florida State

 

[Marat]

He went to Florida State

Any idea why he left ? Sampson is a good coach and the team was doing very well. Maybe he didn't like his teammates.

"The toughest defensive league in America" -Mark Adams on the AAC

I'm so glad we're out of this shithole.

I watched a few min last night just to reinforce to myself how good it is to not have to watch us in that conference any longer. It’s is night and day in the Big East

AAC = Rock Fights
BE = Not rock fights

 

[Hey Adrien!]

AAC = Rock Fights
BE = Not rock fights

Interestingly, this is statistically the strongest the AAC has been since the initial 2013-2014 season. Currently, no team is lower than 142 KenPom.

But it's a rock fight, indeed. Every team in the AAC this year is better than 112 KenPom D, but only THREE teams are in the top 100 offensively!

Alterique and UCONN battling for the last spot on Selection day??

Kind of like hoping your ex finds happiness but at the same time not too much.

 

[LIuconn]

UConn vs Wichita in a 7-10?

 

[coachn]

We might see AG in NCAA.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I'll leave the handwringing to you, I'm not worried about the tournament.

We probably need to go 4-2 or 5-2 down the stretch here.

It matters how other bubble teams do.

 

[tzznandrew]

Win and don't worry. They have a relatively high ceiling with regards to seeding if they play well.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

We probably need to go 4-2 or 5-2 down the stretch here.

It matters how other bubble teams do.

Which stretch? There's five games remaining in the regular season against Villanova, Marquette, Seton Hall and Georgetown (2x).

If we don't get out of that stretch 3-2 or better then it'll be hard to justify our spot in March Madness.

Of course the BET could play a factor too, but I do not want to go into the BET dependent on wins to justify our spot in March Madness.

I think we all take the bolded statement above for granted. If we go worse than 3-2, this team is way worse than we thought.

 

[Watchdog]

Could be 2011 all over again.
No losses outside the conference.
Win the conference tournament.
Win it all..........hey it could happen.

Wish Alterique the best but wouldn’t want him back on the team if we could. TO machine

 

[Jorgensen]

Any idea why he left ? Sampson is a good coach and the team was doing very well. Maybe he didn't like his teammates.

I had read somewhere he wanted to be closer to home. Looks like where he’s from in NC is ~7hr from Tallahassee opposed to 15hr to Houston. Maybe he reads the ‘yard and learned the AAC is hot garbage too 🤔

Think Cole has proven to be a go to guy as of late so all good there no doubt. Hate to say the one game Gaff played good isn't enough to sell me on him vs AG, AG can defend and did it again last night he's so tough down that end it more than makes up for what Gaff hasn't given us consistently.

But it's not real anyway so we need Gaff to find some consistency and at least learn to play much better D.

Critical that this sentiment is expressed as many times as is humanly possible.

 

[gtcam]

Looks like AG may be dancing in March. Good for him. He’s a great young man who has fought through much more than most any athlete. I am very happy for him and hope that the WSU dream lives on for him. We should all be happy for a true blue Husky

 

[gtcam]

I think were going to see allot of teams exposed in the tournament, covids made conference play the primary metric and Houston is running the conference, they have gotten anything since last year and they lost mills, no way this team makes it to the sweet 16, might be a good first round upset

You are under estimating Houston my friend. They have athletes who are ballers and shooters. The kind of players that UConn should salivate to have. If this was your first exposure to them you have not seen the real Houston team

F Wichita State, I want my guys in the tourney
