The SEC gets a shot at grabbing a couple of nice scalps tomorrow. Vanderbilt plays West Virginia in Puerto Rico and Alabama is at Seton Hall.

you think? Haven't paid any attention to them at all, although Eustachy is one of the best coaches in the conference.

South Florida and South Alabama aren't anything great, but they handled both of them. They beat USA by about 40 with Flowers out with the flu. This is by far the most talented team Eustachy has had since he got to Hattiesburg. Flowers is a pro and their guards are pretty damn solid.

knew Flowers was one of the best in the conference, but had no idea that they had gotten that much better.

George Mason won by 22 at Charlotte tonight. Looks like Pitt and maybe UCONN will be the only opportunities for notable road wins in the nonconference schedule.

Cal you are right, the Old Spice just has Cal, Temple, Texas A&M, BC, and Manhattan to go with ND. No good teams in that bunch at all.

Hearing a Memphis fan talk about weak schedule is freaking hilarious. Your entire conference is a joke.

Georgia will have a SOS that is much higher than that of the Memphis Tigers despite the intelligent choice of Pastner to schedule several SEC schools.

A game that your team can learn and grow from is not a horrible loss. I do not believe Billy D is a total idiot who lucked into two National Championships, so I believe that they will not stubbornly stick with a press that does not work against competent guards (even freshmen) and I believe that they will work hard to grow on the things they did well in the first half and stop doing the dumb things they did in the second.

You must be referring to British Columbia University because the BC I know of just got beat at home by Yale. In basketball, not a calculus or debate contest.

I listed every single school in the tournament. I did that to point out that your statement that there was only ND in the tournament was idiotic.

For you to take that and say that I am saying every single school in the Old Spice is a stud school shows that you are either disingenuous or need a sylvan learning center.


By the way, Vanderbilt beat Nebraska which is why they get to play West Virginia.

Rotnei Clarke hit 5 3s in a beatdown of a bad Grambling team. If you look at the start of the schedule Pelphrey has:
11/22 FGC 8:00pm
11/24 SEMO 8:00pm
11/26 UAB 8:00pm
12/01 OKLA 8:00pm
12/04 TROY 3:00pm

There is no reason he should not start 6-0, although I could see them looking to UAB. Then if he can beat Seton Hall and Texas A&M on the road (a huge IF) he should be well into double digit wins by January 4 when they face Texas. Oklahoma is going on the road to UK right before they come to Fayetteville...I could see them getting two black eyes for the Big 12.

LSU is awake now. Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks vs. LSU Tigers - Recap - November 18, 2010 - ESPN I am happy we lost an exhibition instead of an early season game, but LSU looks like they are going to be ready to play Memphis.

GLOBAL SPORTS HOOPS SHOWCASE

Vanderbilt has a tough game on ESPNU at 12:30. Everyone else should win. 5 or 6 more OOC victories for the SEC...

Auburn may get 2 wins in a row, playing Campbell tomorrow. Unfortunately for them, that may be the highlight of their season.

LIteracy can be fun. My statement was in regards to the weakness of UGAs overall OOC schedule that includes the ND game. You labelled the entire Old Spice field as strong, as if UGA will play all of those teams.

Let's not get too excited about a 20 pt win against a UT school that doesn't have a K in it.

I know that feeling. At the beginning of the season we had two Quality matchups on the road (UTK, Zags) and one neutral site (Kansas). With Gonzaga losing one of their best players potentially for the season and an early loss, it looks like they might find their way into mediocrity. Kansas is in MSG so its a neutral site game.

Basically, that game in Knoxville on the 5th of January is turning into one hell of a big game for my Tigers, especially if you guys can figure some stuff out and start playing good ball.

The overall OOC schedule they play has to do with how they do in a tournament that could add several good games to their schedule.

Unfortunately for UGA, the biggest conference rival to Memphis is a team that despite the puffery you guys engage in when you pretend your whole league does not suck, is not very good. They play Colorado and the Billikens of Saint Louis and Notre Dame, and Georgia Tech. There is no way that they could know how suck Hewitt would be this year.

Notre Dame, Temple and Wisconsin could be 3 UGA non con games. Add that to Xavier and they have an OOC record that is stronger than Memphis which has less tough games overall.

Also, at the end of the season, UGA will have faced a much tougher schedule than Memphis regardless of what else happens because the SEC does not suck and your conference does.

Vanderbilt looked very strong even though Huggins squeaked out a win with a 3 with 3 seconds left.

Vanderbilt is a very good team this year, and anyone who doubts that and gambles is going to lose their money.

That's a missed opportunity for the SEC in Puerto Rico today. That's an apples to apples comparison, since it was essentially SEC 5/6 v. Big East 5/6. Vandy will get a similar shot against the Big Ten tomorrow, unless Minnesota upsets UNC.

Vandy and Minnesota are both teams that could surprise a lot of people. Not getting much attention due to everything going on in their respective leagues but both teams have depth, talent, and experience as well as good coaching.

If the refs had been even slightly fair, vanderbilt wins that game by 10.

Matta and Huggins and K get calls. Stallings does not.
