Week 2 play

[Psolo12]

I’m surprised LSU agreed to go to VCU. Look at this environment that they walked into

Will Wade and Mike Rhoades coached together at VCU. I live in Richmond and everybody and their grandmother was heading to the Siegel Center for the game, crazy hype for this game.

Matthews looking good for WVU tonight against Pitt. Tshiebwe is an absolute monster.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I wanted to watch this game live, but after getting my Florida/UConn tickets for tomorrow, I'll be watching Vermont @ St. John's at home after finishing up lawn work.

It'll be Vermont's biggest test after beating two solid teams in St. Bonaventure and Bucknell plus a cupcake win vs. BU. Gotta love Anthony Lamb and he has a much better supporting cast this year with John Becker playing 10 each game and now three legit frontcourt players who are 6'8 or taller, two of which are former B5 players (Giddens, Demuth).

St. John's gets a lift with today with former St. Francis (BK) standout Rasheem Dunn making his debut after getting his waiver granted after transferring from Cleveland State. Dunn's sophomore year #s at SFB: 15.4p, 5.7r, 2.3a, 1.4s, 4.5 fta, can't shoot threes. Profiles as a slasher, basket driver and good defender.

If leaves are finished early, will catch end of Buffalo/Harvard.

Friday

Xavier escapes Missouri State by 3

Florida State beats W Carolina by 5
(For context Fla St also shredded Florida @ Florida)

Bama gets destroyed by URI

Gonzaga tops Texas A&M by 30 (yikes)

And biggest of all...

BYU tops Houston 72-71

Last second buzzer beater @ Houston

BYU is now 3-1 with its loss to a good San Diego St
Wins against Texas Southern GCU and now Houston

This opens up the American completely. AAC would be blown open if James Wiseman happens to be suspended indefinitely.

Down goes #20 Washington by 13 to Tennessee

IMO Becker is the best pure basketball coach (X’s and O’s) in the northeast sans Jay Wright. I don’t think he’d be a great recruiter, but the guy just wins and wins.
