Week of 11/27 Other Games

[Tenspro2002]

Thanks for this. Now we know Texas will win by 20.

This was a really bizarre game.

Texas jumped out to a 25-4 lead in the first 8 minutes.

Texas State went on a 46-24 extended run over the next 21 minutes -- dominated for half of the game -- to lead 50-49 with less than 11 minutes to go.

Then Texas finally asserted themselves and closed on a 28-8 run.

Man, Houston is a scary, scary team this year. They're up 16-4 on Xavier after 5 mins. Claude looks good, but you can definitely tell Xavier don't have Freemantle or Hunter this year.

 

[Huskiefan23]

Xavier can really rebound the ball.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Xavier can really rebound the ball.

They have made a nice comeback in this game looked like it was going to be a blow out. He is not one of my favorite coaches and he annoyed me when he played for Pitt but Miller can coach. Sampson is also a very good HC, but the Big 12 is going to be a whole new ball game for them. They are still good but they are not going to have the same type winning percentage that the had in the AAC. KenPom still loves them though.

Houston v Xavier is a foulfest. There is a price that is "sometimes"(i.e who's are the ref's) paid for such great defenses.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Neither Houston nor Xavier look good this game. Yikes.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

New Fairfield arena is pretty spiffy:

Tonight's loss wasn't bad. Imagine if we lost to Northwestern for example... cough ... Purdue .... cough....

I saw the ending...#1 Purdue loses in OT to Northwestern. BTW, Zach Edey is college basketball's Ivan Drago...just sayin'.

North Carolina hosts Florida State at 2 PM today.

Outside of the Villanova game, I haven't caught UNC much, so I'm curious how UNC will play against a team like FSU: they've got similar size to us in terms a big point guard (how will their 6'0 and 6'1 point guards play against FSU's 6'5 and 6'7 guards?

UNC will be tough. They score alot and like to run. Scoring 100 vs Tenn and beat Arkansas. Guards look fast ... i think we should slow the game down a bit. They probably will have a bunch of fans at MSG as well. Castle ?

Virginia embarrassing the Orange and Marquette struggling first half with Wisconsin. Guessing they make a run 2nd half.

Wisconsin has a really high ceiling when they play well, and they can also suck. They are a bit like Villanova in that way.

Exactly I agree. Virginia too. They’re making shots they’re good, if not it can get ugly fast for them. That’s what I like about our team, we can not shoot it well but still muck it up and compete most any time.

 

[BugsyCT]

Marquette right back in it - good one going at Wisconsin now

 

[SoFla Steve]

Virginia crushes the 'Cuse 84-62. The final score was not indicative of how lopsided the game was..

 

[Revrat]

Marquette is really struggling to get shots and Wisconsin is playing really tough.

 

[mauconnfan]

AJ Storr nice addition to the Badgers. They’re tough and the PG with the fro and blonde blotch is very disruptive.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Things looking grim for Marquette. Did Wisky just break out the "Overrated" cheer? PC beat these guys at the AMP.

I think The Battle is tied at 3-3.

 

[BugsyCT]

Wisky storming the court after beating Marquette? Hmm...

 

[aburks41]

Wisconsin and Purdue both destroyed Marquette in the rebounding battle. We should hopefully be able to do the same thing against them

Speaking of Villanova...they're down 26-25 at the half to Drexel.

 

[SoFla Steve]

GA Tech leading Duke at the half, 35-31.
FSU up 13 on Carolina, early 2nd half.
Bucknell beats Penn St.

Could be another crazy day in CBB.

Also, CCSU beats Holy Cross!

 

[superjohn]

Anyone know why Primo Spears hasn't been cleared to play this season at Florida State?

 

[HooperScooper]

Speaking of Villanova...they're down 26-25 at the half to Drexel.

Villanova doesn't seem to like these Big 5 (6 really) games this season. Penn, St. Joe's, and now Drexel.
