College Basketball 1.12-1.19

[polycom]

Duke season is all for not is Jones doesn't come back this season.

Cuse is going to win. Chukwu has been huge. Battle too.

They were dead in the water when Tre Jones went down. Huge swing. No Reddish either. Still, massive win.

 

[mrl2016]

big win for cuse even w/o reddish

 

[zls44]

Jack White should keep shooting...in practice.

You mean that Duke is getting to see what it feels like to be us the last 2 1/2 years? Makes me almost feel bad for them...

On second thought, no it doesn't.

Agreed - that was a huge win for Syracuse, even without Reddish and Jones in the game.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

So based on this win alone, Cuse is a tournament team.

So based on this win alone, Cuse is a tournament team.

When the committee first meets...Syracuse is in, then conference champs, then at-larges, etc. This win over Duke just seals it.

 

[Mano]

Big finish at the Phog... hopefully.

Big East is still the best conference to watch in college hoops. Love what Ewing has done with this G'Town team. Cooley, getting burned left and right.

The NBE is the #5 ranked conference in the NET and the AAC is the #6 conference in the NET.
It’ll be interesting to see those rankings once the new AAC coaches at UConn, Memphis, and Wichita State get their 2019 recruiting classes.
Besides Wiseman and Jeffries, there is talk that Trendon Watford and maybe Anthony Edwards are all considering playing together under Hardaway.
Dan has built a similarly impressive national class and he’s far from done.
I expect this years NET ranking (which is the new standard) will trend sharply upward.

Eric Ayala looks really good IMO. Even though he's playing off ball more than ever before, he's been a really solid player for Maryland.

The leprechaun just got ejected from the CIN-USF game. Had to be held back by some of his players. Good stuff!

 

[JustbrewitMan]

USF proving to be a scrappy PITA team this year. Going toe to toe with Cincy only down 63-60 w/ 8:22 to go. Entertaining game

 

[UconnU]

Lots of talk lately on this board about player rankings. Interesting to note that Tennessee, maybe the best team in the country, doesn’t play a single player who was ranked inside the top 150 in their class on 247. Their best player, schofield, was ranked well outside of the top 200.

Wow. That's pretty crazy.

Not that anyone here really pays attention to Jerry Palm, but his current bracketology has Houston as a 3, Temple as a 9, UCF as a 10 and Cincy in a play in game... along with Pitt.

And you thought you couldn't feel worse about this season. PantherLair is patting themselves on the back tonight for not pursuing Hurley.

Time will tell...

What's his reaction for the zero commits Pitt has for 2019?

 

[HawkHusky]

Palm is a loser. He picked UConn to finish 10th in the AAC.

 

[superjohn]

Man, we missed out on Xavier Johnson. He was Kenya Hunter's recruit at Nebraska, tearing it up at Pitt.

I don't get how that makes him a loser?

UVA shooting 12-18 from 3 in a 25 point blowout against tech

 

[BFieldHusky]

Yeah he's turning out to be a stud. Problem is no way gaffney would have come here if he was here.

 

[HawkHusky]

UCONN won't finish 10th, therefore making him a loser.

 

[Slasher]

UCONN won't finish 10th, therefore making him a loser.

Palm is also one of the worst bracketologists out there. And he gets paid to do it! He's ranked 82nd out of 127.

 

[superjohn]

UCONN won't finish 10th, therefore making him a loser.

There are 7 AAC teams with a better record than us and 2 with the same as us.

There were a bunch of people on the board picking us top 3 in the conference and some even had us finishing #1 in the conference. Are they all losers?

 

[superjohn]

Mac McClung tearing it up again.
