Week of 11/27 Other Games

[Leebo]

EDIT: Now 3-4 with the Marq loss.

Obviously, I should have made it clearer.

It seemed fairly clear. Marquette hasn't played in the battle yet.

Does Jay Wright consider unretiring?

He might to finish the year if they make a decision to let Neptune go soon. While I am sure Wright is loyal to Neptune, he is also one of the best coaches of all time and he has to see that Neptune is not cut out for this. His loyalty to Villanova may trump his loyalty to Neptune.

Villanova has to make a move even if Wright won't do it. Neptune is no longer viable as a head coach, and therefore is no longer viable as a recruiter. A roster can clear out very quickly in the NIL/Transfer Portal era, so Villanova shouldn't wait until the end of the season to address this.

Arkansas might get ranked next week because of their win, but as it stands they just lost consecutive games to unranked teams including a REALLY bad Georgia Tech

They're #7 now, you'd have to think that they are at risk of dropping out of the top 25 completely. Best case scenario in the 20s. They get Baylor in a few weeks, otherwise they don't have an opportunity for a good win until February

Kentucky would be in deep trouble this year without Reed Sheppard. With him, they’re a dangerous team

 

[Palatine]

How many spots will Duke move up after their two losses on the road?

 

[REB1094]

Kentucky is down 6 to UNC Wilmington at home with 9 minutes to go..

Still down 5 under 1 minute

UK forum is a fun read right now

Kentucky can't complete the comeback, and UNC Wilmington wins it at Rupp Arena!

Wire to wire win for UNCW. They led for about 35 minutes today. Who saw that one coming? lol

It looked like Kentucky players’ NIL checks cashed before this game. Played apathetic and got out hustled & outmuscled. The UNC-W guard was out rebounding Kentucky’s trees.

How the hell did Nova beat Memphis??!?

Hardaway doesn't coach. He let his team repeatedly try to ISO and dribble drive Nova in the first half. It was pathetic. Villanova was feasting with the help defense, since they were telegraphing it a mile away.

KY was barely in it. Yikes. I didn't know enough about the non big east teams but it seems like a case of 'big name recognition' in much of this year's early top 25.

They are done with Cal it seems.

Watching the game I actually thought UNCW was a good team…then I looked at what they’ve done in the rest of their games thus far and it’s very very ugly

Any day that Kentucky and Duke flame out is a good day.

They were taking, and making, a lot of really tough shots down the stretch. If you simulate the last 5 minutes 100 times, Kentucky probably wins 70 of them. Unfortunately for them today was one of the 30

When the Cats briefly took the lead (over a CAA team!) in the last 10 minutes, the fans in Rupp celebrated like they had just made the round of 32. How the mighty have fallen.

That dude White was taking it to Edwards

 

[jibsey]

There seems to be a lot of big losses with highly ranked and notable teams, way more than usual?

Kentucky was special when Calipari was willing to cheat at a level that other coaches weren't. Now that it isn't cheating to pay players, Calipari is not that special anymore.

Throw in the implosion that is Syracuse, and it feels like it’s my birthday.

Yes, you are the 2nd poster that misunderstood my comment. I was just stating that while Marquette lost to Wisky, another BE team, Providence, had already beaten them.

Obviously, I should have made it clearer.

I was responding specifically to your post about how the big east is "now 3-4" in the big east-big 12 challenge "after the Marquette loss." Marquette hasn't played in the Big East-Big 12 challenge yet.
