Yep, they are playing for the conference title against Albany. Last year Albany won on Stony Brook's home floor to get the bid, so revenge must be on their minds!

I saw Stony Brook is at #106...would that conference championship give us another Top 100 win?

RPI Forecast projects if Stony Brook wins @Albany, their RPI would be #94. The game will be next Saturday at 11am.

Sweet, I want to avoid a #1 in the second game of the NCAA. It's exciting to see how this team has responded the past 5 games. I'll grant you 3 were against teams they absolutely should beat, but the last 2 wins are against not great, but good teams, with 1 of those wins on the road. You're 3-0 against the teams directly in front of you and the lesson is clear. You have to play every team like it's the national championship.

Truly believe this team will enter into the conference tournament with a mindet that they have left something on the table and with something to prove. Avoid turnovers and keep being aggressive on both ends. This team is completely different when they push things and don't turn the ball over. The players need to recognize that.

I agree, they have been sharp in the past 5. BTW all were by double figures except Tulsa which was by 9 points, the average margin of victory was 14 points.

Yeah it's been impressive and yet there still is the sense they can be so much better. Here's hoping they can take another step forward this week.

Yes, they are at their best with Caupain & Cobb on the floor together.

KJ has done a great job spelling them during games also. Seems like he is playing his best basketball of the season as well. Shooting the ball very well, and isn't turning the ball over at such a high rate. And he brings great energy and attitude off the bench. He's well suited for this role on this years team.
 
Furman was 8-21 going into the conference tourney and they just missed a chance to tie it in the final 10 seconds against Top 50 RPI Wofford.

I remember everyone complaining about the Jerseys we had when we went to the sweet 16. Everyone thought they were hideous etc but look where it got us. Hopefully we will have similar success. I'm not a huge fan of the jerseys this year but they might look better on the court in action.
 
i didnt know where else to put this but i saw the suns signed seth curry to a 10 day contract. You want to tell me seth curry is better than sk, thats ridiculous philly needs to give this guy a shot.
 
Nebraska's season was ended by Penn state today. Man what an awful season the cornhuskers had with high hopes. Glad its not us!
