College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

[firestorm]

Connecticut has made it a tough game early, however Creighton has shown the ability to comeback.

Syracuse-North Carolina State
A competitive game that might be won by the team that has the basketball last to make a game winning basket.

Looking more and more like A&M are going to lose 3 straight since they beat us. Down 10 to the Hogs with about 5 to go

 

[The Dog]

A&M cuts it to 3 with 2 and a half to go

Arkansas is going to beat Texas A&M. Of course the Aggies crush us and then rattle off 3 straight losses. They might miss the tournament….

Creighton looking great at half vs UCONN.

 

[BisonVol]

In honor of Creighton’s excellent first half, does anyone remember the time when Ethan Wragge knocked down nine straight threes against a highly ranked Villanova team? Fun to watch that was.

Izzo has surprised me this year with his really good wins and bad losses.

Creighton shooting 60% from the field at the half leading UConn 43-29.

You know they’ll have found their shooting again by Saturday. I think seeing orange automatically makes opposing teams shoot 10% higher than normal from three

I guess they emptied the tank against UT.

Well, we’re going to play yet another desperate Texas A&M team this Saturday. Our guys better bring it from the tip. Wade Taylor is bound to go nuts again. If they don’t beat us, there is a strong chance they miss the tournament, since they now have 5 Q3 losses….

Creighton is playing great, however the pressure on them to not choke the big lead in the second half.

Think Barnes uses tonight to humble his team with a very frank film session. I expect Tennessee to play very well Saturday.

Creighton increased the lead to 14.

Coming off horrid shooting performances (all our conference losses) we’ve scored 85, 103, and 92. If that trend continues, we should win comfortably Saturday.

As expected 15th ranked Blue Jays fans storm the basketball court after the Blue Jays upset the number 1 UConn Huskies.

85-66

Go Creighton and knock off Connecticut.

If Tennessee goes 2-0 this week, it will be interesting to see how far up the rankings we go next week.

We have to keep Anderson Garcia off the glass on Saturday night.

He had 17 rebounds in the first game.

In a weird way, that makes me feel better about that game being anomaly... I’m still disappointed about that game being an opportunity to secure a 1 seed and demonstrate an elite team.

Oh, it’s definitely coming.

We’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more Awaka!

I doubt they’ll move at all unless a team in front of them goes 0-2

Probably won’t be able to lure Jay Wright out of retirement. He should top anyone’s list but McDermott would do a very good job there imo. That should be who they go after.
