Re: 11/23 | Florida Gulf Coast | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Gonna keep saying it, they have to shoot more 3s. They're shooting 42% on the year!!! They have taken 2 in the whole 2nd half and none in the last 11 minutes. Against a zone!! 3-14 from 3pt land doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in your shooters. Not that means you should stop shooting them entire...

Re: Loyola-Chicago to the A10
I swear some of y'all will be negative about literally anything. Everyone who's pointing to GMU is seemingly ignoring Davidson who plays in a similar size arena and has been nothing but a benefit for the conference.

Gotta find a way to shoot more 3s. You can't expect to consistently win games with today's style of play only shooting 6 a game.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS WISCONSIN
Oddly I get the feeling it will be a 20 point loss or one-possession game either way, don't think it will be near a 10-point difference. Due to Wisconsin's size and interior defense, I think we'll live and die from early 3-pointers by Fatts. If he makes a few early, that will tend to open up the dr...

Re: 11/25 | #18 Arizona State | 7:00 PM (ESPN) | Empire Classic – Mohegan Sun
I haven't seen a line published by anyone yet, and I'm curious to see if we even get one given the cancellation/late scheduling. I'd expect it someone in the range of ASU -8.5 to -10.5. Either way, I think you gotta take the points given all the uncertainty.

It would be a sign that the NET is an abject failure if it were spitting out identical rankings as ...

Marquette is 8-10 in league now but has an NET of 25 before losing to St. Johns and will probably be at 27 . I think both Richmond and S...

Some interesting nuggets in regards to Davidson's 3-pt shooting prowess. (I only looked at conference games.) - They average 26 attempts per game in their 7 wins AND their 5 losses. Win or lose; they're pretty consistent in getting over 25 attempts up per game. - In wins, Davidson averages 11 made 3...

Yikes this board is a scary place to be during games.
I really like the confidence and hustle out of Long. There are definitely still some growing pains, but it's starting to look like by the end of the year he'll develop into a guy that can give you 8-12 solid minutes off the bench in a big game.

We all need to be huge VCU fans from here on out.
They're currently sitting at 32 in the NET and if they can get inside the Top 30 to give us another Q1 win, it could bump us up a whole seed.

Amazing bounce back to start the 2nd half after a completely lackluster 1st half. This team's ability to respond when they're down is something we haven't had in a long time. Very nervous about these refs down the stretch, though. They have been wildly inconsistent both ways, and I don't see that ch...
