on Wed, USF/Auburn and UT/Charleston UC Irvine/LSU on Thurs, great baseball showdown maybe not basketball Sat = KState/Bama (), Ohio St/So Car, Vandy/IN St, Detroit/Miss St, UK/UT Chatt, Florida/Aggies, Ole Miss/USM, Southeastern Louisiana/Arkansas, UGA/USC, Auburn/North Florida....big day with Bama/UF/So Car playing big time teams
jesus we played like shit tonight and moultrie didn't play bc of his "knee" but a win is a win and ill take it improving to 10-1
Actually now that I look at it, you may be right. I think that Auburn and Ole Miss can be N.I.T teams though.
LSU is terrible (6-3) Tennessee is terrible (3-6) South Carolina is terrible (4-5) Georgia is terrible (4-5) Auburn is terrible (4-1); they haven't beaten anyone, regardless of what their record is they're bad Arkansas hasn't shown how terrible they are yet (7-3), but they haven't beaten anyone good yet Ole Miss could be halfway descent (9-1), I'll give you that, but they still haven't beaten anyone good and I'd be surprised if they made the tournament. oh and they got blasted by 30 to the only good team they've played
I wouldn't say we're terrible. We're actually 5-1 with a win over USF last night. We're about to get Clemson transfer and former high school standout Noel Johnson in the lineup and that will be a huge help. I realize the wins have come against inferior opponents, but we have won each of those games by double digits. I think we have a good shot at making the N.I.T this year.
espn early bracketology came out today with SEC having 5 teams in the tourney bama 5 seed, Vandy 9th, MSU 6 seed, UF 4 seed, and UK 1 seed
IN St @ Vandy at 4:30 CT IN St was a tournament team last year, really really like how our OOC schedule is this season
USC beating OSU today would not surprise me at all.Yes I know they have been awful 33-29 USC, 40 secs left in the 1st
It's college basketball, crazy shit happens. John Wall and crew (ranked #1) lost down there to a shitty team. I'm sure you can appreciate how inferior teams can provide unexpected results at home.
Sure. You could argue Barnes foul trouble had a significant impact on the outcome taking it from from a normal/expected result. OSU is lucky this is not the normal top 5 game atmosphere at USC.
whoa thank God we pulled that out 80-75 in Detroit. Moultrie had 17, Bryant had 17, Sidney had 16, and Bost had 13
the Big Ten is a vastly superior basketball conference and it would require wayyyyyy too much variance for this Ohio State team to lose to South Carolina Deshaun Thomas and Sullinger both needed to leave the game and Aaron Craft needed to foul out
that post wasn't even directed at Vanderbilt. It was directed at the fact that early season upsets happen ALL THE TIME. Already this year, Long Beach St beat Pitt, Presbyterian beat Cincinnati, Harvard beat Florida St, UCF beat Uconn, and UNLV beat UNC. Yes, Ohio St shouldn;t lose to South Carolina, bu you act as if this is the upset of the century. This isn't football where an upset like this is monumental. I'll give you another example in a sport you are more familiar with. In 2009, LSU was swept by Tennessee in baseball at home. LSU went on to win the CWS. Tennessee went on to finish 11th in the conference. You're acting as if this is Memphis beating LSU in football. But they didn't even win, so it doesn't even matter. Even if they had, it wouldn't have been that big a deal.
no, no it wouldn't. at the end of the season, no one would even fucking care. UNC already lost to UNLV and they're still ranked 6th in the country. No one cares about one game in mid December.
so what. upsets happen early in the season ALL THE TIME. they are not as crazy as you're making them out to be. and unless a team makes a habit of losing games, upsets like that won't even matter later in the season
since when does sec get respect in bball rankings like they do in fball? Does vandy really deserve to be the only ranked three loss team? After losing to indy state tonight they shouldn't see the top 25 for a loooong time
