South Florida crushed Ohio State

[Buckaroobanzai]

An apparently easy 71 - 47 win. USF freshman Beatriz Jordan : 17 pts; 10 reb. Ohio State replaced all starters from last year.

Not a surprise. Ohio State lost a lot from last years roster.

Detroit Mercy is licking their chops.

I see that USF had two freshmen in double figures. It’s a good sign that they won so comfortably despite cold shooting from Laksa. Ohio State may be a bad team but a win’s a win.

Houston gave 24th ranked CAL a game 80-79 a good strong 1st outing at CAL. I believe they are projected to do well in the conference this season.

I would have liked OSU to have a better team to give our game one some luster. I guess I have to hope USF is for real and can give us some conference competition.

 

[MikeBlue]

I watched the first half of this game, they both looked like bad D2 teams. Dint let box score or final score make u think otherwise.

 

[MSGRET]

The way that USF handled OSU it may look like the first game in which we might play that is competitive will be against Purdue in the Paradise Jam.

 

[ucbart]

USF looks to have some really impressive freshman.

 

[triaddukefan]

Yawn... the real USF probably could have beaten Ohio State too.

I used to enjoy watching SFU, but not during the Jesperson/Laksa years, when they have been overly reliant on two players that, IMHO are talented but one dimensional. So in this case, thankfully, there is no Jesperson because she has moved on and Laksa had a bad night (not her first, for sure), and SFUI was on fire. Good. A strong SFU is great for the league, such as it is.

The real USF did beat them

Depends on who you ask. Once upon a time the San Francisco Dons were a powerhouse in men's hoops. It's been a few years ago though...or decades. Some guy named Bill Russell. I think he was pretty good.

Different sport and ancient history at that.

Triad just gets a kick out of trolling South Florida, and so I like to dish it back a little.

LMU beat UCLA in opening game. Doesn't speak well for UCLA's future in this season.

From media reports the clergy that ran U San Francisco folded the game for financial reasons. Oh, that guy mentioned: He was mediocre or absolute amazing (my belief). I loved his commentary once he stopped playing. He originated the phrase: I knew where the ball was going, for a rebound, as it left the shooters hand (not an exact quote, obviously). As many game commentators say: Players get 5 fouls--Russell says NO! they get 4 fouls on 5 they are out--subtle but accurate.

Yeah, they're all chanting "Get some - get some".

I'm hoping UConn comes away from this game with 4 things:
1. A convincing 30+ point win, giving them a confidence boost for the Vanderbilt game going forward.
2. The starters play well like a fine tuned/in sync unit, especially on the defensive end, keeping the Buckeyes under 50 points.
3. The reserves get a second chance to make a first impression, in that they ALL play well, and redeem themselves for the awful showing they made against Vanguard. They win "statistically" across the board during their time on the floor on both ends of the court.
4. No one gets hurt or aggravates a prior injury. Everyone walks off the court healthy and happy (especially Luigi).

Thank you--I'm forever mixing up all of the AAC's florida teams. Sf USF UCF etc--wouldn't it be nice if they had just Florida and Florida St like real states??

 

[huskeynut]

We'll be at the USF game tomorrow night. I'll take notes and names on how they look.

Pretty nice wish list.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like Laksa must be an 8th-year senior....?

You are on the wrong track with that Casey Jones fellow. He played for the Illinois Central. However, the homophonic K. C. Jones was indeed a Don.

Soon to get an exemption transfer to ND.
