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

Because Indiana beat us and we beat Louisville by 22. Today, Louisville beat Indiana by 28. So you’re telling me if it were a legitimate game and not an exhibition we would have beaten IU by 40-50? I didn’t understand before. Now I do, since we didn’t take that game seriously. Thank you for enlightening me.

Transitive property doesn’t exist for sports. No one is saying that. But it is quite funny that you claim these two teams look “totally different” and your entire assessment for that claim is you looked at the box scores and compared them.

I watched the first half of our exhibition against Indiana and they looked every bit as bad in that 20 minutes as they did for 40 minutes against Louisville. They couldn’t throw it in the ocean (nor could we). So, no, I don’t think Indiana looks totally different. They look pretty similar.

Since you didn't watch it, anything you state about how either team looked is invalid.

But as mentioned, we played everyone. Coach Barnes said he experimented with lineups you'd never see in a game that means anything. We led the entire game until late, he pulled Lainier with around 6 minutes to go and had a line up with Mashack at power forward. The lead disappeared during that time frame. But Barnes literally didn't care because he wasn't trying to win. He was experimenting, something he specifically stated post game.

P.s comparative scores like that are silly and anyone not 10 years old knows that.

Louisville beat Indiana 89 to 61. Anybody still concerned about losing an exhibition game against Indiana now?

I actually don't think we really tried that hard to win the MSU game, in that it was taken particularly seriously by the coaches. Rick was cutting up and joking on the sidelines with reporters and Izzo during the game.

True, but VolNation took it, seriously, iIrc

I can't tell if you are just being purposely obtuse because you know you're wrong and are too proud to admit it, or you're actually not very smart.

Not only did he not take accountablity, he was dead wrong on that foul call. It was a clear over the back. He just got pissy they actually called it for once.

I think it was 50/50 but you understand why it was called. Ridiculous that he reacted that way.

I didn’t watch the movie, but that one actor was much better in it than the other one I saw.

How someone can try to argue such things is beyond me.
