Different team with Reid. Wake is blowing the doors off of everyone right now. I can see them finishing top 4 in the acc. Clicking on all cylinders right now.

Absolutely. Marsh isn't an ACC player. Glad he's riding the pine now. and remember..Monsanto is coming back soon.

I remember you saying Monsanto was coming back soon. Another great piece to have especially with his shooting. Could be sitting at 3 losses heading to Chapel Hill. Should crack the top 50 in KenPom after this win.

Bennett and his stubbornness. ND jumped out to a 13-0 lead and Tony just rolled with it.
 
Deacs take down BC in Chestnut Hill. 84-78. i think this team is better than the Alondes Williams/Laravia squad.

gotta keep winning. ACC sucks, so Deacs need a bunch of Q2 wins. big game at home vs Miami this Saturday. i'll be there.

Q1 win as of now. Should be a Q2 win at worst by the end of the year. BC is better than they have been IMO. Any road win in league play is a quality win.
 
TBH I think it would have been a disaster for the league if ND pulled off a second straight win this early

Luckily for the league that is quite possibly the most inept basketball team ever assembled and they played the worst final 3 minutes ive ever seen. And this is the same team that had 4 shot clock violations in the first 6 possessions vs Marquette. So it takes a lot for them to impress me with bad ball at this point.

You can argue talent but woof Strewsberry may have been a one hit wonder, at some point when a team is that retarded its also coaching.
 
Kenny Payne is now 1-29 against Q1/Q2/Q3 competition. Just stunningly bad. I don't know what's worse, that or also being 8-7 in Q4 games.

Being 8-7 against Q3/Q4. Bad coaches lose games to decent teams all the time. Historically bad coaches go nearly .500 against bad teams.
 
Excited for UNC at Clemson today. I haven't gotten to see a ton of college ball this year but this is shaping up to be a good one.

i wouldn't say Clemson needs that one, but it would be a nice resume booster for sure.

think Deacs/Miami has the potential to be pretty good. personally, i hope it's a blow out for the Deacs but that's not gonna happen lmao.
 
Deacs won a thriller in OT.

easily the best telecast in CW Sports history

amen
 
obviously not a Syracuse fan, but their current NET ranking is what I hate about the system.

they are currently ranked #75 on NET. their worst loss is against #55 Virginia, while their two best wins are against #51 Oregon and #52 Pitt. they are being penalized for having relatively close games against low major competition. the assumption is that if you beat a couple of low majors by single digits, then you eventually going to slip up against bad competition and will be exposed against good competition. that assumption is correct 99% of the time. but so far that isn't the case with Syracuse, but they are still being punished for it.

Nebraska is probably right at #59.

How is (10-6) St Mary's #50 with two Quad 1 losses, two Quad 2 losses, and two Quad 3 losses?

don't think NCAA has ever been transparent about the NET formula, but it is strongly believed that kenpom is involved in some way.

St. Mary's is ranked #49 on kenpom. Probably a combination of St. Mary's doing better than expected in their wins + losses margins (outside of those two Q3 losses, obviously) + they probably started out the season rated fairly high.

agreed that they should not be #50. That's ridiculous.
