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

[Vol49er]

Kansas state is on a ridiculous run rn. On Jan 22 they lost to Baylor to drop to 7-11, 1-6 in the Big 12. (This included losses to LSU, Liberty, and Ok State). Since then they are 6-0, with four of those wins being ranked wins, included @ Iowa State and just now at home against a hot #13 Arizona team

7 and 13 have lost. 8 (kind of) and 11 are on the ropes.

Yeah. Doesn’t look like Georgia is gonna do us a favor. Can’t throw it in the ocean this half

 

[GBO18]

UGA has not made a shot in the 2nd half. 9 mins to go.

 

[Freak]

Both of these 9pm SEC games are terrible.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Villanova knocks off St. John’s. Good for us.

 

[SGMVols]

I was hoping we’d get to see Steve Forbes and Wake take on Pearl in the dance. They might literally have killed each other on the court. Alas Wake just took a terrible home loss to FSU. That may cost them the dance.

Would have been a fun watch for sure.

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

Didn't know which thread to post this in but there have been several casualties around in us ranking. If Houston loses to Arizona saturday and we take care of business we may stay ranked 5th unless Texas A&M passes us

 

[SGMVols]

Would have been a fun watch for sure.

On another note, we’re about to get John Currie Coaching Search season.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Arkansas beating LSU. Looks like we might possibly get a rematch of them and Kentucky in the SEC playoffs. Wouldn't it be grand if Cal beats them twice this year?

 

[hUTch2002]

Down goes Texas Tech. At home too.

Edit: Scratch that. ESPN was slow to update the score. Going to OT.

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

Texas Tech should have lost a quad 3 game tonight and pulled it out their ass

Great teams find ways to win close games on the road.

Some good losses for us in there, when combined with Tuesdays losses.
I'm officially ready to put this Kentucky game behind us and get ready to stomp Vandy out on Saturday. I will be hoping for a Texas win tho, and if history repeats it's self this year then be looking for Kentucky to drop that game. They've followed all their big wins with a stinker loss not to far behind.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Ohio State shot 72% including 9-10 from three in the first half tonight against Washington.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

It's so easy to hate this clown!

Agreed. This was at home against a .500 Arizona State but that doesn’t change your point.

 

[hUTch2002]

I mean, seriously. He does have the 2 rings so why not just be content with that and let fans be fans? He could be gracious to them in a loss. I know that’s hard to do as a competitor but secure people get it done all the time. Maybe he was just playing with the crowd but it sure didn’t look like it.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Maryland at Nebraska is a pretty interesting matchup for a Thursday night game.

His lack of maturity and his insecurity despite his accomplishments is pretty concerning. What a complete and total loser in life.

Seems insecurity at the highest levels of sports is very common.

I’m no shrink, but I’ve often wondered if it correlates to a drive to be great.
