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

Man it sure would have been nice to land Banchero. Made two shots down low down the stretch to put the game away. Clearly the go-to guy in crunch time. We would be serious national title contenders if he had chosen us.

I'll tell you what is happening with Bama, they lost Herb Jones. Jones was Nate's Grant, SEC POY that willed his team to wins

Alabama’s next 3 games….Baylor, Auburn, and Kentucky. This thing could really get off the rails if they’re not careful.

I wish Jabari Smith had never disclosed the unofficial plan he had w Chandler and Banchero. Kills me

Missouri is so bad

I lost some herbs once and it sucked.

 

[VolPack22]

Huge win for Illinois without Cockburn and Curbelo tonight over MSU. I don’t care for the Big 10 because they always seem to be overrated but that conference is wide open this year. I think there are 7 teams within 2 games of each other. ACC is a cluster**** too.

How did I miss this plan? We’re they all three gonna be a package deal? And then they all three end up at different schools, crazy how those always fall through.

 

[VolGee4]

And if I were one of those schools I might just hire Mack. I think he’s a good coach that just had too much of the court stuff swirling.

They barely missed the NCAAT last year, and then he let go of Gaudio and Luke Murray, who he had known for a long time. Not sure if he overreacted or what, but they fell off.

 

[cncchris33]

I just don't buy it. I mean, I'd love to see Auburn fans cry, but he's built Auburn into a consistent powerhouse. Auburn would probably pay him whatever he wants to stay. What reasons would there be to leave?

I think it would take $6 million/year to get him to leave. Will Auburn match that? I'd be a little surprised if they did as it would signify their largest commitment to basketball, ever.

Then you have to measure Pearl's ego. Something tells me he'd relish the idea of coaching a blue-blood, especially one that pits him against Cal for state superiority once again.

And lastly, he is likely tapped out on potential at a place like Auburn. Louisville is a much easier place to win and maintain that level of success. He's built a nice base at Auburn, but can he consistently keep them at that level and even increase the success?

And they would have been a high seed in 2020. His first two years were extremely promising.

Missouri giving the blueprint on how to beat Auburn whether or not they pull this off.

 

[cncchris33]

What am awful foul call on Mizzou. Johnson initiated every bit of that contact.

 

[Volstylexx]

Safe to say, a road win at MO is going to be tough for a lot of SEC teams.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Wow, devastating for Missouri.

 

[Volstylexx]

Seems like bad coaching by Cuonzo. Didn’t even give his team a chance. Imagine that.

 

[ndubvols]

Mizzou definitely should’ve fouled there, not enough time between shot and game clock.

 

[zaqhhh]

Heroic effort from Mizzou! I don’t like fouling with a 5 second differential but it is a risk and didn’t work out this time.

 

[cncchris33]

Call me crazy, but Auburn may be on upset alert, tonight. Not because Mizzou should be able to keep pace based on talent. But there is just some kind of curse on teams that receive that #1 ranking for the first time in the school’s history.

Now that I’ve said that, AU will go out and drill them by 40.

Almost got a Bruin.

They were getting worked on the boards, chances of a stop and clean rebound were small.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Auburn clearly should drop back to #2.

You had a Bruin brewing, but there was nothing doing

KY players dropping like flies with these ankle injuries. Two guys out with ankle rolls in less than 60 seconds of game time..
