Bon Jagley ---- NO WAY !!!  How did you call the UNF upset over Purdue ??  I went back to see if your post was edited but it looks legit !!

 

Nice call

Rough week huh Hail? Lost to Eastern Michigan last night?

Terrible week. There is no excuse to be losing to these teams. At least Eastern Michigan is a solid team that could potentially end up in the NCAAT, but still no excuse.

 

The bad news is quite obvious.

 

The good news is

Michigan still has an elite back court.

Michigan started off 8-4 last season with a loss to Charlotte. That team ended up going 15-3 in the Big Ten and making the Elite 8.

Michigan is one of the youngest teams in the country and growing pains were expected. This bad? No, but hopefully this adversity helps the team grow.

The 'other' Wildcats looking tough.


Go Nova!

Nice tip in by the Gators

Lol, wow that was unbelievable.  Gators blocking their own players in football and tipping the ball in for FSU to beat themselves in basketball.  Pretty good stuff.

And in the realm of bizarre stats, since FSU's top scorer and team leader Aaron Thomas has been dismissed from the team, they are 6-1 now.

 

Some has to do with schedule, but FSU's length and defensive intensity made a pretty good UF squad look pretty bad last night.

Florida basketball has found all kinds of ways to lose games this season. Big second half collapses against Miami and Kansas, and then last night. Unbelievable.

Jacob Kurtz is an idiot.

Might have to start #becausegators.

On a topic that no one cares about but me, VCU has put together an A-10 best nine game winning streak with an incredible come-from-behind victory at Rhode Island last night.

 

What made this so improbable was that VCU's leading scorer for the night, Treveon Graham, went down with an ankle injury early in the Second Half after being taken down by a Rhode Island player over a loose ball. Still, the guy comes back in with the team down nine with little over nine minutes left and scored the go-ahead points. When I watched him limp off of the court, I didn't think he was going to be able to get to the Locker Room, much less come back in.

 

Serious big time toughness on display from this team. Had a blast watching the way that game ended.

Back to talk VCU basketball; the team suffered two huge losses yesterday. One was the game to University of Richmond, the other was Briante Weber. The Senior Guard tore his ACL, MCL, and the meniscus in his knee ending his college career.


The guy was 12 steals away from the all time NCAA record.

Gators off to a terrible start in Nashville 10-0 run so far for Vandy to start the game.

 

edit: 15-0 until Florida finally scored.

Game of runs, 15-10 Commodores.

Florida to inconsistent this year, another L.

Florida now can look forward to their NIT matchup against UNF or Florida Gulf Coast.

Kentucky in the SEC basketball is pretty much FSU in the ACC football. Right?

Pretty much, particularly this year with Florida down.

Purdue's rebounded after a poor non-conference start and is now 7-3 in the Big Ten and tied for second place. They've won four in a row, three of which were against ranked opponents. If they go 4-4 down the stretch, they're a lock for the NCAAs.


As far as the big boys go, I doubt anyone outside of Wisconsin or Virginia could knock off Kentucky in the tournament.

Kentucky is the clear favorite, but come on. Saying Duke and Arizona have no chance vs Kentucky is a bit absurd. Kentucky goes to OT with Ole Miss at Rupp but Duke and Arizona have no chance on a neutral court?
