Ramsay B. Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Thanks! Damn that win felt good. These guys look like new players under Hurley and I couldn’t be happier with how things have started. Just the energy and confidence, it’s like a total 180 from the last two seasons. Jalen Adams kinda struggled tonight too, which would’ve meant a blowout 9 times out of 10 in recent years. They outrebounded ‘Cuse by 14 and shot 12-21 from downtown. Love it. Hurley is a wild man too, he goes crazy(in a good way) and the players seem to feed off it. Nice to have a respectful team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I agree with Hurley, that's a bullshit flagrant foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Annnddd back to reality. That was an embarrassing half of hoops. I had to turn it off at the 6 minute mark. The refs were awful too but I’m not using that as an excuse, it just adds to it. The fucking turnovers are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Aeternum Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 No big surprise - James Wiseman chooses Memphis over Kentucky. Thus far, Penny is doing everything they hired him to do. Will be interesting to see how it translates on the court, but he will definitely have pieces to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Carolina v Texas turned out to be a better game than I expected. I have been very critical of Shaka at Texas, but they played a great game and held on at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedGhost Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Nova-FSU actually ended up being a pretty good game. Maybe Nova was only mostly dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The first of the NCAA's new ranking system to replace the RPI is out... And that's a thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 In light of the basketball team being ranked #22 (now #21) and the football team going 10-2, Buffalo has announced... they are going to start selling beer at the games. Just like a real sports team. Actually, I don't know how common alcohol sales at college games are. I know a lot of attendees are alumni and locals, but it does seem a little odd selling alcohol at an event that is ostensibly intended for students who are mostly under age 21. As for the team itself, after two beatdown wins, I was hoping they'd move up a little more in the rankings; but I really don't want to be greedy considering its the first time ever there. And any loss right now, other than maybe the Syracuse game, will cause them to drop out immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Over the weekend, former UK signee and current Memphis signee DJ Jeffries says that if Memphis plays UK next year, the result will be like the Duke game this year. Meanwhile, Memphis under new head coach Penny Hardaway is 3-3, just lost to the College of Charleston, and has a brutal stretch coming up with games against Tennessee. Penny has shown that he can certainly recruit at an elite level (at least with kids he already coached in AAU); has yet to be shown if he can just roll the ball out there on an elite level. (Bit of an inside joke there as that's all Calipari is ever credited as being able to do...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 If you call yourself a college basketball fan, learn the name Ja Morant. Racers lost by six at Bama last night. He had 38 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. If he had anyone that could finish a play at a high D1 level, he would have easily had a half dozen more assists.

Ramsay B. Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 So basically this is really gonna help just teams in weak ass conferences!? Long live the NET! Uconn beat a high school team yesterday and moved from 63 to 47. ETSU beat Georgia Southern and moved from 102 to 48. Michigan St. lost at Louisville in OT and dropped from 7 to 24.

And encourage strong teams to schedule shitty teams they can run the score up on during their non-con. Definitely been enjoying the B1G-ACC challenge the past two nights. Most of the matchup have been pretty even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This 30 for 30 on Bob Knight has served to remind me of the myriad of reasons why this man is such a singular piece of shit, and a stain on not just college athletics but sports in general. When the world is finally shed of him it will be a better place for his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
