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

[WillisWG]

Didn't realize how good Florida has been playing, apparently they're ranked #24 this week in the AP Top 25. Won 7 of their last 8 matchups since we beat them at home mid-January.

Yep they need a BIG road W, Wednesday would be good time

Gahhh...Rick Pitino just ripped his team apart in his postgame press conference. Not sure how he could retain any of them after that rip job, not that it sounds like he wants to. Chris Ledlum got a specific shout out for his poor play and lack of toughness. Just brutal.

Yikes

Yep, it was maybe the most brutal assessment I've ever heard a coach give publicly.

Edey is just a big dude who clogs the lane.

You won’t hear anything from him again after college.

I don’t like him and think he’s a little full of himself, but there a place in the NBA for Edey. Time will tell if he is a starting caliber center at that level, but a guy that big and strong who moves well and has a nose for the ball is going to carve out a role in the NBA, even if it is just as a guy who comes off the bench.

Here’s another good one

Every time I watch UVa this year they are horrendous. How do they have 20 wins?

They're the equivalent of football team playing the option. When it works, it works no matter how ugly the game is. When they're behind 10 or more early the game might as well be over. I don't know know how they went on a 8 game winning streak.

Ya, that’s what I said

Iowa State with 6 points with 9 mins left to go in 1st half. Houston playing relentless defense.

Too bad, I was thinking a college basketball team against an NFL football team would be an intriguing matchup. Could depend on which sport is being played.

Houston's playing rugby. I wonder how good they'd be if those fouls were called.

Virginia destroyed by VT

If there’s no crowd at your game, probably shouldn’t be brawling

 

[turbovol]

The Chris Ledlum that Pitino called "slow laterally" is the guy who signed with us as a transfer from Harvard and then left
after about a week or so of workouts. Didn't realize he'd landed at St. John's.

Several fights lately

Several fights lately

NCAA or respective league officials should come down hard on the fisticuffs by sitting the main participants for the remainder of the season.

The great Connecticut Huskies play a pretty good Creighton team.

It is Creighton so the thundering crowd could be a great advantage if Creighton can play great which includes less turnovers, and executing critical baskets if they succeed keeping the game close.

That’s how Creighton could upset a great Connecticut team.

A depressing night for the VCU Rams because the Massachusetts Minutemen are bulldozing the Rams by 18.
I don’t see the Rams getting a miraculous comeback.
