Okay, who had a worse week--Georgia Tech, Iowa or Florida St. (getting a little ahead of myself on that last one, but they ain't coming back from 57-27!)? None of them had much fun.

No, not in spite of the stats. They won thanks to a massive differential in shooting percentage, as I pointed out, which overcame their deficit in turnovers and offensive rebounding. The stats don't lie; you just have to know how to analyze them.

Forgive me, but isn’t shooting % one of the recorded stats? Or should we throw that one out? You tell me plebo, you are the expert on analyzing, so analyze yourself out of this one, you know, where shooting isn’t part of the game but boards and turnovers are……#smh

UNLV ran away from New Mexico in the 4th quarter. Like I said a week ago or so, they own the Mountain West until someone proves otherwise.

That was an intense game. New Mexico made a game of it in the 3rd but UNLV was too much in that 4th quarter.

Hey, they came back to win today so, that's a positive. Not familiar with Canadian Mist, but I'm going to bet it goes well with Cheerwine. ;)

He's the reverse @nwhoopfan - if he's not proclaiming how "his" [fill in the blank] will dominate, their shooting totally disappears. Help them, @triaddukefan, you are their only hope!

Still my Blue Devils...... but watching them lately hasn't been good for my health. Had to eat a Grilled Cheese Birria Sandwich and 10 Buffalo wings just to settle me down this afternoon. I just hope we can recover in time to qualify for the ACC tournament.

None of these losses are terribly surprising. They're not losing to bad teams. I'll be surprised if they lose to the likes of Wisconsin, Rutgers and Purdue.

Wow, they are frustrating to root for. They get behind early, claw their way back and then can't close.

Coach Jensen is also giving big minutes to the freshmen, which is great for their development, but there might not be a tourney to develop them for....

Today both Olson and Stuelke also had off games.

They still have not played the top of the league, so it's going to be a real challenge.

SMU should qualify for mandatory mental health counseling. That was traumatic.

Ohio St.went on 27-0 run against Oregon in the 2 quarter but they ended up only winning by 9 (69-60).
 
I'm not even going to look at any stats, but Syracuse has to be near the bottom in rebounding and defense. They can barely outlet the rebounds they get without fumbling.

Georgia Tech when you consider they were the highest ranked and came into the week projected as a potential host in the NCAA tournament first weekend.

I'm hardly distraught that Tennessee's only two wins of remotely any quality have been exposed as soft.

Ain't you from Canada?? They might revoke your citizenship if the government officials reads this board :eek:

Nope. With a list of Canadian distilleries longer than the US-Canada border, it's easy to miss one, two or twenty ;). Also, I'm not much of a whisky drinker, but seeing this place is located in Collingwood (approx 2 hours), it may be worth a trip out to see what they have.

My jinx tried to work in Berkeley today, but it was just too much for even me to overcome. I think Florida St. was down as much as 32, final margin was 12. But that was probably just window dressing and never really actually close.
 
Katy bar the door.... cause my Spartans are in first place in the SoCon.... Kicking arse and taking names is on the menu this season.

It wasn’t. Bears took foot off gas at end, played bench players some but I’m sure Charmin will be talking to them regardless. Overall very happy with the win. These home wins are crucial in the ACC.

Syracuse is having a rotten season, but close to picking up a win over Miami. Season going south for the Canes in a hurry. If this holds both will be 1-4 in conference. Everybody should thank Wake Forest for existing, they could be keeping FIVE other teams out of the basement. That is a Herculean effort.
