Temple disappointing in the Barclays Center this weekend, blown out by Duke (expected) and then lost to UNLV tonight in a very ugly game.

No doubt. That 2nd half was brutal.

Looks like Huggy finally has a good team. They are leading UConn by 6 in Puerto Rico.

 

[Bearcatmatt]

Yeah, WVU is very talented. They remind me of his UC teams - they press and rebound like crazy. I love Huggs, so WVU is like a second team for me.

It doesn't seem like Juwan Staten should still be in college.

So how many couches have you gone through so far?

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

WVU was impressive in holding off a UConn comeback. Cincinnati, Houston and UCF are the only unbeaten teams left in the American.

UConn might have an adjustment period with Napier, Daniels, and Giffey gone. They'll be good down the stretch.

Dont know how much of a differeence it would have made but UConn had four players suspended, one being Omar Calhoun, for violation of team rules and didnt play againt West Virginia.

They talked about it during the game and basically said that those 4 guys rarely see playing time, so it wouldn't matter that much.

@BCM - how many coaches? I'd say....Over 9000.

...finish your sentence? Yes.

Use an obscure reference? Maybe.

I love Huggins. I rooted for him at K State and have since he moved on to WVU. The only time I root against him is when they play UC, but that's obviously not every season since WVU went to the Big 12.

Anyway, UCONN is going to be good at the end of the year. I think UC is probably 3rd or 4th behind them and Memphis, but Memphis always seems to underachieve and SMU is down one of their best players.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

I always root for WVU unless they are playing UC.

BTW in OOC play today we got a big game at Barclay's between Villanova and VCU, along with BYU and San Diego State.

ECU was BLOWN out by Green Bay today. They are going to be very bad...

 

[UCalum08]

Anyone watching this VCU/Nova game going on right now? I am not looking forward to playing VCU with the current state of our team. VCU looks like they would eat us alive.

Memphis sucks.

Louisville beating Savannah State 69-14 with 8 minutes left. It was 41-7 at halftime lol.

They are really good. Harrell is a legit 1st team All-American and Rozier is much improved.

VCU fell apart this half, Villanova leads by 17....

Yeah Nova was hitting a lot of shots in that 2nd half. Still, I was impressed with the pressure VCU puts on the ball. Also that big guy Allie-Cox has a good motor.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

VCU got outscored 45-23 in the 2nd half.
