Week of 12/11 Other Games

[gsmooth]

Go Carolina. First half was entertaining

 

[HuskyHawk]

Kansas is good. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise.

I just don't think they're Title Tier this year.

It’s hard to know. I think their depth is an issue for winning 6 games, but if the kids start contributing that can change and those three seniors know how to win.

Still lots of season to go, some other teams may still emerge. Freaking San Diego State got to a title game last year. They sure weren’t title tier.

Whenever Seth Davis is on TV I wonder why he chose this life? He really knows nothing about basketball.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Providence's OOC schedule has been dogsh*t

 

[Bazz4A]

Probably 5?

You'd think it should be something like:

1. Purdue
2. Kansas
3. Houston
4. UConn
5. Arizona

I'd swap UConn and Houston, and you can't put UConn ahead of Kansas yet with the head to head.

Been thinking about this a lot - I’d be surprised if we jump Arizona. We should jump Houston but idk. Unfortunately we might stick at 5

A fine showing at Purdue for Zona but I guess it shouldn’t be that big of a surprise they were down double digits at times. Zona was hanging its hat on early wins against Duke and MSU which have turned out to be very mediocre.

I would've completely agreed with you this morning, but Michigan State looked INCREDIBLE vs Baylor today

Baylor hasn’t beaten anyone good yet either. Same with Houston.

still #13 on Kenpom after today's loss.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yes. It's horrible for college basketball.

Probably why some people are saying it's the penultimate year.

 

[JohnnyJr]

The AP should be interesting next week, is Houston the new number one while having not played any top teams? I’ve seen voters say they don’t want to punish teams playing these big non conference games.

 

[Jimdish255]

Northeastern leads Virginia late but a phantom foul just took one of their players off the court.

 

[Jimdish255]

Arizona's going to have to get it together quickly because FAU isn't going to roll over on Saturday.

 

[BGesus4]

aside from uconn, im taking fau and memphis over anyone else in the church league in march. american pow6r!

Not the team who smoked your daddy on a neutral?

Who knows. We beat a Top 10 team by double figures on the road and they lost a not super close game to the #3 team. I think it would be pretty silly to keep them above us, but I've been wrong before, particularly around Arizona's ranking this year relative to us.

Good news @kobe. Cincinnati is at least third best in state behind X and Dayton.

Do you guys play Bowling Green? Toledo? Cleveland State? Youngstown State?

Is there an Ohio team out there that you guys can beat?

 

[87Xfer]

Boiler Up!

that's embarrassing.

Add Akron and Ohio U.
Maybe even THE OSU.
Lots of opportunities.

 

[superjohn]

They're nowhere near the third best team in Ohio. They went with the wussiest OOC schedule I've ever seen. Their next three opponents are Merrimack, Stetson, and Evansville.

That will give you something to watch in March since once again your lame excuse of a squad will be at home. Or maybe they will accept that CBI bid this year???

Yeah I wrote that wrong I think. I meant because they don’t play anymore games against Ohio teams.

 

[caw]

Not sure Creighton or Alabama play defense.

 

[TheChamps990411]

I tell you this im not worried about either one of these teams. The team that worries me a bit is UK. Their guards are really good and only freshmen. They have some athletic talented bigs. Guards that can attack the basket and athletic bigs who can run the floor and defend is trouble for us. DC would have to be at full strength and Newton would need to be at his best. AK and Spencer may see the bench because they are going to have trouble with UKs athleticism. Not saying they beat us because we present a ton of problem match ups also and we have the better coach but they do worry and they are the first team this season ive seen that does. And no i dont care they went down to the wire against UNC who we beat rather easily. Its about matchups.

UK has good depth at guard also. They are almost all one on one though. Not saying they don’t get assists but it’s drive and kick or drive and dump off.

I think they will
