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

When they start playing up to their ranking, I’ll happily acknowledge it.

They are ranked where they are because of how they are playing.

Kim English 11-2 in season Numero Uno at PC..

I can see why Tennessee fans are so high on him. He is a heck of a coach and comes out of that Barnes coaching tree. He would be perfect to be UTs next coach when Barnes calls it a day.

Just turned on the UCONN/St. John’s game at 63-63 with 3 minutes to go and the first thing I see is Chris Ledlum brick two open shots then commit a bad foul to give UCONN a 67-63 lead.

Also just missed the first FT to help tie the game at 67-65…

And the 2nd free throw. Missed them both. UCONN wins.

St.John's vs UCONN was a fun game.

UCONN’s first win in their last 44 that they won by fewer than 6 points.

Pretty crazy

Holy sh*t

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Wow!

 

[walkenvol]

AJ Johnson and innocent until proven guilty will forever be my first thoughts with these college rape cases. Let justice prevail

Will Wade is a Grade A d-bag but he can coach sadly. He’ll get another high major job this off-season probably.

Juwan Howard, on the other hand, is just bad. Not sure why Michigan bothers keeping him around considering all the off-the-court drama you have to deal with for such a mediocre coach.

I feel like Michigan would be a good fit for Wade next year. They obviously gave up on the integrity thing already.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. So close. Rutgers survives. 2-12 Stonehill was up 58-56 with 20 seconds left, had the ball, missed a shot and Rutgers drilled a 3 to win. Stonehill had just 6 scholarship players available and was 352nd in the NET.

Ohio St - West virginia Seen it all now. Miking up a ref and broadcasting his conversations with players. No wonder this game is sliding into the toilet.

Their recruiting needs to be investigated. No way they got all the talent they’re getting next year above board.

Well, it's New Jersey. Even Tony Soprano loved Rutgers.

He beat Kennedy Chandler and most of the players who are still on our team. The guy may not know how to coach, but he gets more out of his team when it’s win or go home than Barnes.

Well, to be clear, he beat us in one game. Anything can happen in one game.

Barnes won us our first SEC tournament in decades. That has to count for at least something.

I don't agree with your point, but I guess I somewhat understand it? But Howard's not done much "win or go home" work other than that one game, which was particularly impactful to this fan base but not really anyone else.

Maybe having the best player on the court that night had something to do with that. You guys are relentless in your criticism and constant cherry picking.

He didn’t even make the tournament last year and probably won’t this year either. That will likely cost him his job.

So when is that "one game" going to go our way in March?

 

[Vol49er]

So when is that "one game" going to go our way in March?

“One game” has gone our way a bunch of times. What we’re looking for is six games to go out way in a row (or at least four). But that’s inherently rare, of course

 

[jtipto10]

So when is that "one game" going to go our way in March?

I mean, I hope soon. I'm not a fortune teller.

I'm not an ardent Barnes defender, he has definite flaws, but I'd argue he's a top 20 current coach in cbb. You don't generally fire those and hire another who's better immediately.

Let me put it this way, I'm 32 years old. I cried when we won't the sec tournament. I care a lot. I know the history. I'm not selling Barnes right now.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It went that way against Duke last year. Same round as the Michigan game just a different result.
