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

Drake has the look of a potential bracket buster this year. Miami and Vandy are two nice scalps for that team.

Drake seems to be good every year. Nice mid-major program.

 

[Willy14]

Georgia beats St. John’s. LSU beats UCF in triple OT. The SEC is crushing the non-conference. Going to be a deeeeeeeeeeep league this year. Wins may be harder to come by than normal, but hopefully the non-conference performance by the SEC means the selection committee will look more favorably over wins you do get than they normally do. We may be the best conference this year.

Miami has lost the last 3 games to Drake, Oklahoma State, and VCU. I was hoping that game would be more of a resume win then its starting to shape up to be. So hopefully your right that the committee will value SEC play this year

That’s really unexpected. They’ve been pretty good the last couple years.

It’s possible we come out of the non-con undefeated this year

Double digit favorites on barttorvik in 6 of 7 remaining OOC games, at Illinois is the only one we aren’t and are currently 2.5pt favorites. Undefeated definitely seems on the table and 12-1 is hopefully the floor for this squad, would’ve gladly signed up for that preseason.

Watched DePaul play it's crazy to see how far that team has fell. I remember years ago every kid in Chicago went to play for DePaul.

Except Isiah. But, yeah and they showed DePaul games all the time on WGN. I loved DePaul, especially that Terry Cummings and Mark Aquirre team. Pretty sure they made the Final 4 that year Magic beat Bird. In fact, they won the 3rd place game over Penn, iIrc.

Edit: my bad, Cummings wasn't on that team, but everything else I posted was right. I still got that long term memory

That freshman center from Maryland is a stud. Derrick Queen.

Had 22/11/5 against Villanova shooting 64%.

Also dropped 24 on Marquette’s head with 7 rebounds, 3 assist and 3 blocks. 69% FG

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Can players change rosters mid-season and be immediately available? Maybe not if they’ve already transferred once.

Queen was a stud at Montverde, as well. Originally from Baltimore.

I just randomly get on X and sometimes I’ll get highlight videos of random college players

My jaw dropped.

Yeah, he always impressed me when I watched Montverde play. He had 23/8/5 in the McD AA game, too.

If he keeps it up, he’s gonna find himself as a top 10 pick.

People calling him Maryland Jokic lol

Cummings was on the 1981 squad that got upset in NCAA tournament was ranked #1 or #2 all season.


Rod Strickland played at DePaul under Joey Meyer in mid 80's.

I remember Rod, great pro, also. Do you remember Dallas Comegys ?

Yes sir.....

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I remember DePaul having the weird jerseys. Not as bad as Evansville though when they wore short sleeve uniforms.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Marquette’s 1977 uniforms were hideous.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Maybe Depaul’s were untucked rather than weird sleeve cuts.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

NC State’s 1989 onesies:

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Evansville’s 2018 throw backs. The originals from the 1970s or 1980s needed to be thrown away.

Unranked Memphis is up by 10 over #2 UConn in Nsui. 8 minutes left. ESPN2.

If Memphis hangs on, it will be a huge win for Penny. But, let's be honest, right now, this UConn team is a pale comparison to the last 2 national champion teams. UConn is no where near the #2 team in the country, this year. Their ranking is based on reputation, only, imo

The transfer from St.Marys seems to be struggling starting out this season. Mahaney..

Yep

 

[Stoked]

I hate that I'm rooting for Memphis to upset UConn, but tbh I don't even see Memphis as a rival anymore.
