Week 10 - Other Games

[Hey Adrien!]

For those with ESPN+ who'd like a UConn/Marquette appetizer, there's a very good 6 PM between two of the top teams in the America East:

UVM visiting the surprisingly good UMass-Lowell River Hawks, my current pick to win the conference (great length and good guards and tons of depth).

I would rather discuss the wonderful season that Kentucky is having.

Good call this is a good game to watch thanks for the heads up. 2 teams which could scare someone in the round of 64.

I’m even more intrigued by the CofC vs UNC-W game tonight. I know they were without a few players when we beat them this year but they’ve turned it on and are a force. A team most of us were thinking would be a Q4, 300ish NET team actually has a chance to jump into a Q2 for us with a win tonight (they’re 85 right now). That will be big down the stretch with Nova and Butler consistently dropping tiers

Heck yes, but the freakin' CAA has almost all their games on FloSports, which is $30/month. Absurd.

They've been back and forth all season between Q2 and Q3. It's a better win than we realized at the time.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Hats off to the UNCW students:

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Minnesota beat Ohio State at tOSU. This is a bonkers win by the worst team in the Big 10, who incidentally lost at home to DePaul. Strange that the Big East doesn’t have any results like this.

Amazing that you would put this out into the world. Georgetown plays at Xavier in a week.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

FAU has a tall challenge on Saturday defending their 14 game winning streak: North Texas.

The defensively elite Mean Green force opponents to take tough shots and are lead offensively by cold-blooded pint-sized scorer Tylor Perry. They currently have the slowest tempo in the nation and that’s how they like it.

Tonight, Yale visits Cornell. 5 PM. Game on ESPNU.

 

[Kolumbo]

Iss no one watching the Friday night lights fight out in Indy? It's a good one.

 

[UconnU]

How is Nova this bad? They returned a good group and have 10 total 4 star recruits on their roster.

 

[Kolumbo]

Lukosius! Gamer!

He'd look good in Husky Blue right about now. I think Newton may have more talent, but the Lit kid can take over at crunch time. Hoping Newton can still be that guy.

Jay Wright left...

Collin Gillespie left...

And they made the mistake so many top programs make hiring from within instead of getting the best coaching candidate.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Is anything that happens in the ACC this season really a "national" statement? That league has 1 team in the NET Top 20, and is probably of a 5 bid league of mostly bubble-ish teams. As of right now, Clemson has ONE win, NC State, over a team that would be in the NCAA Tournament if the field was picked today.

Neptune coached one year at Fordham and was 16-16. Awful hire. It didn’t make any sense to me when announced. So many better options.

This Tennessee Kentucky game looks like a total mismatch

Clemson is like PC - weak season opening league schedule except PC did beat a nationally ranked team

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Obviously hope all the best for Nelson, but looking forward to Evans getting a head coaching opportunity tonight:

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Yes, he's a fifth-year senior, but still pretty cool for Antoine Davis quietly scoring up a storm in Detroit:

 

[SoFla Steve]

Kentucky holds on to beat #5 Tennessee at Knoxville 63-56.

 

[auror]

Kentucky holds on to beat #5 Tennessee at Knoxville 63-56.

Just like we all expected after Kentucky's last 2 games.
