College basketball discussion 12.4-12.10 2018

[Paesano]

This is where I hoped to be in early December ... but expect to be much better by March. We have had key players out. Once Sid is integrated, Diarra and Whaley are back and maybe Akok can play, Alterique gets used to the college game, the players get used to Hurley and used to executing together, we could improve quite a bit.

The difference between #80, where we are now in Sagarin, and #45 which should make the tourney, is 4 ppg. You can't tell me we won't improve by at least 4 ppg over the next few months.

I hope you are right but we will see. I just want to see upward movement.

Tulsa beat OK State. Decent win for the conference. Wish SMU or Temple could have pulled the upset.

Kind of was wishing for temple to lose in a close one. I think UConn can beat Vill. But SMU losing to TCU sucked.

Temple played a good game. It was anyones game with 4 minutes to go and Nova the home team wound up winning. No shame in their performance at all. They led for half the game.

Texas loses back-to-back games to Radford and VCU. Rough.

Remember when once upon a time we thought Shaka would be the guy to replace JC....

[UConnSwag11]

That’ll be big if he plays

 

[UConnSwag11]

Carey to Duke

Did anyone else hear an ESPN announcer say that he thought Temple was going to do well in the A10 this season? What a laugh all these Cuse grads are!!

We moved up one spot to 79 after the latest win. Moving up slowly.

Arizona was down 41-29 at the half against Utah Valley but have closed the gap to start the second half.

Iowa with a solid 98-84 win over Iowa State. Tyler Cook with 26 points and 10 rebounds on 12/16 shooting

Imagine having one of the best teams in the country, Nevada playing ASU midnight EST. I wanted to watch that so bad

We should just invite Nevada and Gonzaga into the AAC for basketball. Does it even matter at this point where these programs are located? Let’s just bring in all the best conference misfits possible.

Can we ban this joker until Providence has as many championships as UConn. That is four in case the math is too hard for you. PC is in absolutely no place to talk, dominated by UConn in the 90s and early 2000s and four less 'ships. Not clever enough to figure out the celebration was about Hurley's first win. Bye now.

I'll do you one better. Since we won our first title in 1999, Providence has ONE win in the NCAA tournament. ONE. A 1 point first round tournament win.

 

[Storrs South]

Agreed, let us all laugh together now.

 

[HawkHusky]

UMass comes back from down 20 (18 at the half) to win at Providence, 79-78. LOL.

This has now become my new favorite account. It reads as a parody.

Cooley acting like a maniac after the game thinking his guy got fouled. Not even close. PeeCee is the classic "take your foot off the gas" team. This is a real bad loss.

 

[A10 fan]

Ouch! Blowing a 20 point lead at home has got to sting, especially to them.
