25/26 Other NCAA Basketball

Damnit thought q2 road was 150…

This sucks. We have zero margin for error…

JJ Kelly, freshman starter for OU just had to be carried off the floor and couldn’t put any weight on one leg. Looked like an ankle issue.

Almost a week until our game, but something that could be in play for Friday.

Not the result we needed, but the step back on the winning 3 for Coastal was absolutely filthy…

#4 Duke loses to #14 UNC.

Crazy, UNC did not lead all game

Opening night opponent (ODU) leads the next opponent (OU) by 3 with 45 seconds remaining.

ODU will win. SBC wins the challenge. Top 8 in the MAC go 1-7 with Miami and bottom feeders NIU and Ball St as the only wins tonight.

Even for the MAC road night, a truly brutal showing.

And that gives the sun belt the challenge overall

Hey, rest of the conference… screw you.

Well, the guys just have to do it in their own.

8 games decided by 6 points or less and the MAC went 2-6 in those games. With all the games being on the road, it shouldn’t hurt us too much. The only one that’s a real problem is BG getting smacked around by Arkansas St.

Just keep winning and don’t worry about other teams.

Agree. Keep our eyes on the prize - the MAC Championship. Not our problem that the top 8 MAC teams went a combined 5-11 against the Sun Belt this year, going 4-4 at home and 1-7 on the road. We did our part by sweeping our 2 games, which tells you how bad the rest of the top 8 fared.

Oddly the only other two teams to took care of business were… BSU and NIU.

And 2 of those 4 wins were against ULM, one of the poorest D1 athletic programs in America with a basketball team ranked #352 in Ken Pom.

ODU, who just beat Ohio, lost to ULM at home.

Xavier just lost to St John’s in OT, featuring one of the all-time worst clock-awareness possessions I’ve ever seen. Thanks X! That Pitino Jr. thing is really workin’ out for ya!

All the vitriol those X fans posted to our site about him being terrible shows how clueless they are about hoops. Forget MU for a second and the awesome run he’s had here. If you compare him to Pitino at X, Steele has better wins. The first time I ever heard Travis speak I was sold. He had solved the what/how/why for the program. Just needed time to execute it right.
