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

Auburn fans try so hard to act like Duke fans now.

If history is any guide, they’ll get a 2 seed and need a last second shot to beat a 15 seed then lose in the next round

Georgia and Florida headed for OT

Good. Maybe it will go to 3 OT. Wear them out.

How much weed do you think Bill Walton smokes before calling a game?

Before and during, quite a lot.

UF loses to UGA at home.

UT better be ready to play Saturday.

Hoping UGA has a little hangover and we are more rested.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

UGA doesn’t have the guard play that has given us fits but they’ve got as talented of size inside as probably any SEC team...gonna take a solid effort to get the win.

Calipari hadn't lost 4 in a row since 2005 at Memphis. Gillespie started 7-9 one year so he may have lost 4 in a row.

The flu bug is rampant on the Railsplitters team right now. 5 out due to sickness or as precaution. Still, the bench guys took care of Hiwassee rather easily. I wish I had film of an attempted dunk by Steven Perriere one of our back up big guys. He's one of my favorite players and just kind of amusing to know. He was on a break out and went up to jam it but somehow the ball rimmed out. He was still hanging on the rim with one hand ahd with those long arms he reached out and grabbed the ball with one hand and jammed it back through. It was funny to see him with one hand on the rim hanging there and grabbing the ball and deliberately jamming it back through with the other. No basket of course but an LOL was had by all.

Lincoln Memorial University- Short-handed Railsplitters blow out Hiwassee 109-69

BTW, t.o. to asst. ratio in this game was 30 to 6. We share the ball!!!

I have to be a KY fan through 2/24. I'm taking 3 showers per day this week... I feel dirty.

The best excuse I can come up with is that this season is a perfect storm. Cal's youngest (I'm sure this hasn't been said before) and worst team coinciding with the best SEC in years. I can't even say we're losing to bad teams. UT is legit. Auburn is legit. Texas A&M is legit. Alabama and even Missouri are decent with great players like Sexton and Porter(s).

Agreed.

Best deepest SEC in years

Agreed.

Best deepest SEC in years

And it's funny because I've complained for years about it. Can't complain about what I asked for :dunno:

 

[golfballs]

3 big games tonight:

Cincy at Houston
OSU at Penn State
Arizona at Arizona St

This is only one of 2 remaining games that I think Cincy has a realistic change of losing. The other being at WSU.

OSU and Arizona are both underdogs

It helps that coaches in the SEC have been able to get really good players where they can compete on a consistent basis.

Hell, even Vandy is recruiting well.

Yeah, it's nice to see the quality of players go up. Almost every single team has players I would love UK to have. Not usually the case.

Yeah, I'll be pulling for UK against Missouri and Bama.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Yeah, I'll be pulling for UK against Missouri and Bama.

Arkansas too for me. They're only 2 games back and have the tie breaker. TN is 3 ahead of KY and have the head-to-head tie breaker.

AP defending the Dunn tonight

True, wasn't looking that far back in the standings. Honestly, except for hating UK, we really should probably cheer for then to win out given we played and beat them twice. We need those two wins to be as strong as possible.

We want cinci, OSU, and Arizona to lose and then Purdue to win correct?
