Saturday lineup (11/30)

[Sluconn Husky]

UCLA's five wins have come over Weber State, Loyola Marymount, Long Beach State, Yale, and Northern Colorado.

Doubt those games prepared them for UCF's tight, physical defense and annoying, plodding offense.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Is Kay Kay Wright even playing for UCF? She has 2 points on 2 shots and 1 rebound.

Box score says she's only played 4 minutes. I'm guessing she must've been injured?

 

[Plebe]

I'm catching the end of Michigan State - Kansas State, and I can't accept Mich St as a top 25 team. They will just barely survive this game against a mediocre K-State team that has losses to UT Arlington and Memphis.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

UCLA is going to survive. UCF could not score if their life depended on it in the last quarter.

Wonder how that games goes if Wright plays.

UCF had a very similar game last year against Syracuse, also on a neutral court. Low-scoring (of course), held a 4th quarter lead but just couldn't close.

 

[Plebe]

Texas is in a dogfight with North Texas, up only 2 points in the 4th quarter.

How ironic would it be for Aston to lose to the school she left to take the Texas job.

Collier having a monster game though. 21 pts (2 of 3 from 3pts) (of 54 total) 14 Rebounds (6 O Boards)

 

[LETTERL]

Texas survives...63-57.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just checked in on the Puerto Rico game. Surprised to see Washington up by 11 over Iowa in 4Q.

@nwhoopfan are you watching this?

Went for a little hike today. I didn't see any of their games in Puerto Rico, but happy they went 3-0. Particularly pleased w/ this win. Iowa is nowhere near the same without Gustafson and several other departed Sr. from last year, but I think they're still decent. Doyle is a baller.

 

[nwhoopfan]

No disrespect to UCONN or South Carolina, but Dayton is w/o question, probably the worst team I have seen on a broadcast this year (I have watched at least 25+ games). Dayton lack any semblance of basketball talent or skill.

You clearly haven't seen any of Washington's games. I suspect that their opponents Cal St. Bakersfield, Weber St. and Seattle U. all make the short list for worst teams in the country.

Maybe we should do a Boneyard poll for 25 worst teams? could be fun

Ha, that's funny! It might be just as contentious about who deserves to be bottom 25 as it is for top 25.

Without looking I'm going to say Chicago State and Mississippi Valley State make the cut.

Arkansas Pine Bluff is always down there too.

 

[Plebe]

Memphis is making LSU look like offensive wizards, giving up 50 points in the 1st half to a team that barely averages 60 per game.

THats easy, just list the teams on Miss State schedule

State is in a dogfight with the Rainbow Warriors

Today's been a weird day in the "offstage" tournaments.

Oregon State struggles to beat Liberty.
UCLA barely edges out UCF.
Texas struggles against North Texas.
And now this.

 

[militarydog]

Green Bay is giving Syracuse everything they can handle. For a good bit of the game they were ahead. However Syracuse has taken a five point lead with 1:42 to go.

They go to OT!!

I thought I just saw Syracuse win 64-62?

 

[militarydog]

Wow. They originally had Syracuse winning. Green Bay up 74-71 in OT.

 

[militarydog]

Green Bay beats Syracuse 79-73 in OT. The Boneyard Poll just got a lot tougher to figure out for Monday.

I saw the final score but haven't listened to the game yet. Maybe jetlag caught up with the team...or maybe the bad aura from the butt-whooping UNC inflicted on our hapless football program made it over to the islands.
