Around the NCAA - weekend of 12/14

Were you expecting Buffalo to be a Top 50 win?

Hurley thinks it's a really good win. Said they are a tournament team and will win 25 games. Depaul win is solid but Buffalo just doesn't look all that good.
 
Memphis wins @ Tennessee without Quinones or Wiseman
OU up 5 @ Wichita St at half
Xavier loses to Wake Forest
Seton Hall loses to Rutgers
 
Tennessee had it's 31 game win streak at home broken. Barnes denied his 700th win. A good days work :)
 
Wichita looks like Wichita again. Not peak Wichita but the program looks back on track. They have an extremely young team and look to be a yearly tournament presence. Not that it matters to us but considering we have to play a few AAC teams going forward, I wouldn't mind playing them.
 
Cincinnati just lost to COLGATE. Yes you read that correctly Colgate lol.

It's all gone wrong for Seton Hall, they blew two games to MSU and Oregon and now their two best players are out. Their next game is against Maryland which could be a blood bath.
 
Kevin Willard is just not a big time coach. He picks up too many bad losses despite having really good teams, ends up with a lousy seed, and gets bounced in the first weekend of the Tournament. Wash, rinse, repeat.
 
That near-comeback that Arizona just pulled on Gonzaga was insane.

I'm actually looking forward to watching Sacred Heart (194 Ken) v UCF (103 Ken) today.

Less to do with AAC scouting, but more to do with Sacred Heart having their best start under Anthony Latina and a potentially winnable game against a better-than-expected UCF team.

SH could end up around an #8/9 seed and fully healthy by March. They will get shipped out to Spokane and play Gonzaga in the 2nd Round. Seton Hall +6.5/-310 ML in that game. That could be an upset.

8-9 would be a total failure when they were being talked about as a final 4 team with POY candidate powell throughout the preseason. they could still get a higher seed but need to finish in the top 4 of the NBE

NBE Tourney teams:
1. Nova
2. Butler
3. Xavier
4. Hall
5. Marquette/Creighton/Depaul???

They would sign up for an 8-9 seed right now. With Powell out and Sandro out for two months they have a guaranteed loss next game against Maryland. That will be 5 losses heading into Big East play with their second best player gone for 2 months.

And he hasn't parlayed that huge Isaiah Whitehead Angel Delgado class into any further recruiting juice.
 
Is this the year the Zags win it all??? They sure looked good against AZ.

As much as I despise Miller and Zona, they almost came back and won that game
If it had been played later in the season with the same players - Zona would probably win
Zags are banged up-IF they had full squad this game would not have been close
With full squads - Zags are better
 
Houston loses to Ok st at home. Ok state without Littleton and we’re 0-2 without him prior to this game
 
Is Drexel the Philadelphia school that is too irrelevant to be one of the Big 5?
