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

[SN-A-C Orange]

I didn’t see where he said TT was bad- just that they aren’t making the NCAAT. They aren’t even a bubble team.

But it also shows our fans that you can have “good” losses against teams that don’t make the NCAAT.

I certainly did not intend to imply that kckempf called them bad.
And it is absolutely fair to critic my use of the word 'bad' - it is why I put it in single quotes instead of double quotes.
2-10 sounds like a 'bad' record, but I thought it really needed context as TT is playing a lot of heavy weights in the Big 12.
Thanks for keeping me on my Ps and Qs.

 

[kckempf]

To imply that Texas Tech is a 'bad' team would be a distortion on the facts.
They have single digit loses to 5 teams that are going to be seeded #1 to #5 as it currently stands. 9 of their 12 loses are to teams who will make the NCAAT
They are likely to miss the NCAAT, but they are a bubble team who could make some noise ... they just beat 3 seed Kansas State and 2 seed Texas at home ...

Just reading the NET rankings for them, they have a lot of ground to cover and not a lot of games left. Whether they are good may not factor into it.

 

[SN-A-C Orange]

Agreed ... their best chance to make the field at this late date is win the Big 12 tournament ... if they could win out (unlikely) ... the finals might be enough, but I doubt it. They need to climb 15 spots.

Interesting game tonight. Missouri at Auburn.

Interesting game tonight. Missouri at Auburn.

Indeed, I am thinking Missouri gets the win on the road.

 

[SGMVols]

Auburn is in real danger of missing the tournament with a loss tonight.

they’ve slipped to “last four byes” in bracketology

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Auburn is kinda bludgeoning Mizzou

 

[nashvillepanther]

Kinda stunning that South Carolina fired Frank Martin for mediocrity and then proceeds to battle LSU to be the worst team in the conference.

 

[cncchris33]

Looks like Mizzou, like Florida before them, may have a Tennessee hangover. Florida is winless since beating us, and Mizzou getting bent over by Auburn.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well Missouri shot their wad Saturday they're done. Makes me even madder.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Of course now Mizzou sucks the next game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Everyone gets up to play us and has their best game of the season. Very unfortunate but it is what it is. We just need to better than another team’s best.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Who is better, Purdue or Houston?

I’d say Purdue, but I’m not important

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Wisconsin up 4 on Michigan under a minute left. UW hasn’t made a FG for over 10 minutes.

Ooooooopppps. I am shocked at their poor shooting.

Oklahoma defeats #12 Kansas State 79-65 man this season is crazy

Michigan is probably going to have to win the Big 10 tournament to get in the dance.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wisconsin won a basketball game in which they didn’t make a FG in the final 10:47 of regulation. LOL. How???

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Poor Hunter! I feel so bad for him!

Big 10 basketball for ya

 

[VolPack22]

This was the first time Michigan and Wisconsin played since Howard nearly started a brawl. Did he restrain himself in the handshake line this time?

It’s why I said the other day B12 is gonna beat each other up, making us a 2/3 very realistic still…you have Kansas, Texas, Baylor, Kansas State and Iowa State all on the 1-4 seed lines around us. In just the last 2 days Texas loses to unranked Texas Tech and Kansas State lost to unranked Oklahoma.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Probably. The team that wins the tournament is usually not the team that most people pick at the start of the tournament though.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Charges against Beard dropped. Will be interesting to see where he lands.
