Not sure if we'd break 40 against SDSU.

Not sure if we'd break 40 against SDSU.

I would strongly agree with that. I also think it will be a similar story against VCU. With their pressure defense and our turnover issue, could be bad.

Tulsa beat Auburn 53-35 in Vegas late last night.

Also, BYU and SDSU in Maui ended up being a terrific game with the Aztecs winning 92-87 in double OT.

Oregon vs VCU today...I'm interested to see how VCU bounces back.

There's a a couple of good games at 10:00 tonight. Michigan vs Nova on ESPN and San Diego St vs Pitt. on ESPN 2

Colorado only scored 33 in a loss to Wyoming last week....There is a widespread problem with offense around college basketball.

VCU should remain ranked if they beat Oregon until we see them in a few weeks, same with San Diego State because if they win tonight they'll likely rematch with #3 Arizona (tough loss to them last year). Nebraska fell to Rhode Island last week so it may be tough for them to get back in the top 25 when we meet but Creighton snuck in at #23 this week so they should be ranked if we were to meet. That means we are looking at 3/4 ranked teams in the OOC, with 2 at home and potentially 2 away from home...

SMU lost at home to Arkansas tonight. They are now 2-3 on the season losing all three meaningful games (Arkansas, Gonzaga and Indiana).

Kennedy still out?

Kennedy still out?

Yes. I believe he was something like 0.1 GPA points away from qualifying, so he should be eligible when the spring semester starts.

 

[bearcat jeff]

I wish teams were doing better OOC.

 

[Bearcatmatt]

With the way the RPI is calculated and how much weight the selection committee puts on it, SMU will still benefit from those losses. I thought they were hosed last year when they didn't get in, but you have to schedule good competition in the non-conference because our league is pretty bad after the first 5 or so teams.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Btw, Louisville only scored 45 points tonight against Cleveland. They suck and and struggle against horrible teams. They better get it together before league play.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Arizona and San Diego State has been a great game. On ESPN now, Arizona leads by 1 at the half.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Poor day for the AAC today. ECU lost to Hawaii, UCF got blown out by Davidson...Tulsa vs Ok State still to come.

BTW, Huggs kids scored 103 points tonight (albeit against VMI who plays a ridiculously fast tempo)...

 

[BCM]

Good for Huggs kids I guess?

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Very impressed again with SDSU. They lost this game at the foul line, where they were just 12-24.
