OT NCAA Basketball discussion

@JonRothstein
Carleton beats Memphis 92-60 in Tigers' 4th game of foreign tour in Canada. Austin Nichols DNP during entire trip due to injury.

I know it is exhibition and Nichols didn't play, but yikes.

I cant really take anything from this game.

In regular season play they lost to Oklahoma St by 30 last year and then 2 weeks later beat them

Also in regular season play we lost to Presbyterian and ended up making the sweet 16

Basketball is a funny sport, the season is long, and all it takes is for players to get hot at the right time.

SK had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in one of his knees. His dad says he was playing with it last year and in the summer league and was probably somewhere around 70%. He also said 5 teams are very interested in SK assuming surgery went well and he passes a physical. It took 2 MRIs to actually find the issue in the knee so it should be relatively minor. The enquirer had an article with all of this info a day or two ago if you want to look it up.

on cincinnati.com theres on article by Koch about 5/3 in that article he quoted huggins who said, "I think it's a great building, I really do," said Huggins, who's now the head coach at West Virginia, his alma mater. "I thought it was as loud of a building as any place we played. It's got some bad seats, but honestly, most places do. I loved the fact those suites were in there. That made it big time."
I agree with huggins when packed 5/3 is rocking.

5/3rd for the fans and for the players is two diffferent environments. Unfortunately you have to cater to fans to get them to put their butts in your seats. I'm a fan and want to see my team play in person so I don't make that big a fuss. I'm in the overwhelming minority. As far as Huggins is concerned, you think he ever set foot in the upper deck? I can just about guarantee he never watched a game from up there. Interesting comments nonetheless.

I agree with that, but what stuck with me was he said what place doesn't. We are a some what bigger arena with 13000 plus seats so yes the tops seats are bad but most bigger areanas have bad seats up top. As far as recruiting tho I think the players like 5/3 due to the loudness it can create on big games

But the arena is only loud when it's full, and it's only full when fans enjoy coming to the arena.

Keep winning and it'll be full
