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

He hit a streak of bad luck losing the SEC preseason POY last year and this one too then loses his center. Hard to win In this league without your best players available

That’s true, but he also hasn’t recruited well enough. All of his contributors on this team are almost exclusively transfers. Top 6 scorers and 7 out of 8. It’s hard to get a team like that to gel, and several are midmajor transfers, who can have a hard time adjusting.

He took Quez Glover, Samson Ruhzentsev, and Jason Jitoboh within 2 years, and none were really good enough. Omar Payne didn’t work out either. Reeves is a freshman 5 star but 7th in scoring. Looks like he isn’t getting the high level 5 stars that he did when he started at UF.

Interesting how some coaches like at Arkansas &Kentucky are being applauded for their portal use yet it may seem viewed as a negative at Florida?

Texas Tech and KU

Texas Tech and KU

Texas Tech up three with 3.24 in OT. Good game.

Texas Tech and KU

Thanks for pointing this out, just tuned in!

 

[vol94]

Good gosh. I thought the Kansas player tacklers the tech player and then Tech player was inside the circle. One thing I notice is Kansas has players who are able to drive to the hoop, athletic.

 

[swchandler1988]

Wouldn’t mind Tech winning, builds our resumé

 

[vol94]

Wow, was that goal tending? But play for Tech - 5 point game and the play can be reviewed. I don’t think it is goaltending.

That + strong dislike of Kansas = guns up!

 

[Volprofch05]

Top right of screen says USC down by 12 early, also good news

 

[vol94]

Tech playing well helps Vols

 

[vol94]

Poor shot selection for Tech. Game coming down to the wire again

 

[vol94]

I guess Texas Tech is it real but boy, the kid bricked the first fouls shot.
3 point game

 

[vol94]

Dang it. Tied!

 

[swchandler1988]

What a freakin game

 

[vol94]

Wow! Tech had the game won but poor shot selection, bricked the first foul shot and the the three ball by Kansas. Tech controlled the entire overtime period.

I think Kansas prevails and will get ahead during 2nd OT.

 

[Volprofch05]

Florida isn't afraid to fire coaches for mediocrity. I won't be surprised at all if it happens this year if he misses the NCAAT.

Gators fans are foaming at the mouth, hate to see it:

[vol94]

Well, Tech had the game in regulation and OT but Kansas prevailed in double OT. Tech is a good ball club. We had them best ourselves but the putrid shooting hurt us.

Funny that the same article could be written about us after every loss if a reporter cherry picked the comments from our 10 trolls on VN and acted like they were the opinion of our fans

Arkansas has struggled too. The portal can be helpful, but I think you have to have a mix of developed recruits and transfers.

Very true, but it's more fun when it's the gators!

They seem to be finding their groove a bit, won 4 in a row and now are back in the NCAAT picture, maybe Musselmann is figuring it out.

Not sure we really want TTU to win these games, because they are a loss for us, and are not going to fall outside of a Q1 game. Instead we're going to be competing vs them on the seed line. Would prefer to move ahead of them.

Yes, good point. I’m not sure what their remaining schedule is, but pretty tough I suppose.

Bingo, same with Villanova/Arizona/LSU/UK.
