Default Re: College Hoops Thread '09-'10

Well the boss has finally left, so I can get to this at last:

College of Charleston 82 - UNC 79 (OT) = I have been trying to tell you that my Tar Heels have been playing like crap. Roy Williams has been trying to tell them that they have been playing like crap. Maybe you have listened to me, and maybe you have not, but it's obvious that they have not been listening to Roy. With the conference season about to start, this could get even uglier, and fast.

Pittsburgh 74 - Cincinnati 71 = Yeah, I figgered this would be a good game, and it's another good win for the Panthers.

Florida State 94 - TAMU Corpus Christi 54 = This is only of interest because it is the kind of whipping that Texas should have laid on them in the previous game.

And I also figgered there might be some decent matchups between "meh" clubs last night, and there certainly was. Although the schedule was not overly crowded, I counted about 15 games that either ended as one-possession contests in regulation or ones that went to OT. There may be a few of those tonight also, but I don't see nearly as many. Games of possible note include:

Texas vs. Arkansas = The Razorbacks are not great this year, but Texas has not yet shown me they are as good as their ranking. I doubt if this will be a close one, but then again I KNEW the Corpus Christi game would not, so . . . .

Purdue vs. Minnesota = I cannot see Minnesota hanging around long here.

Georgia Tech vs. Georgia = Tech is a better squad, but these in-state fights are always tricky.

Marshall vs. Southern Mississippi = Two teams that play hard, so may be fun.

South Florida vs. Notre Dame = Yeah, pretty much the same here.

Mississippi vs. UCF = Nah, not so much here.

New Mexico vs. San Diego State = Nor here.

Enjoy.
