Week #8 - Games of Interest
Re: Week #8 - Games of Interest
Bonnies vs Zoomass is pretty entertaining so far. Two freshman got in a tussle and both were tossed from the game.

Re: Week #8 - Games of Interest
I think Richmond beating Davidson is a good result for us. If you're looking ahead to the end of the year standings and conference tournament seeding, we've tended to have Richmond's number while Davidson has had ours.

Re: Week #8 - Games of Interest
Watched the BC/Cuse game because I'm a sucker for original big east matchups. Certainly not vintage Cuse but what a zone busting clinic. Nice job by Jim C. Might just be turning it around. You can build around a soph and frosh guard who are all-league types. How did they both get out of Carolina?ramster wrote:Nebraska goes to 2-0 in Big 10.

Re: Week #8 - Games of Interest
It's nuts. Teams will beat up on each other now and a good team or two will go 5-13 only because someone has to lose. There are legitimately 13 teams good enough to dance. Should get 10+, though.reef wrote:ACC is just so loaded

Amazing story on Ky Bowman is that he committed to North Carolina to play football in 2014. He was a 2 sport start in HS. He surprised when as a Sr he announced a Top 5 - not for Football but for Basketball. Jim Christian did a nice job of recruiting him.
Bowman hit 7-8 three pointers against Cuse today on is way to 30 points
The game before he hit 7-8 FG vs PC and went for 16 points in an upset win
The game before that against Fairfield Bowman was 13-21 FG and went for 33 points
Will be interesting to see how he does in the ACC Conference Play. He did not start off the season playing like this but he is really gaining confidence very fast.

Re: Week #8 - Games of Interest
Worth Noting Dayton has to take on the Bonnies before they play us.
No walk in the park. Really hoping for a 2-0 week. Put 2016 behind us.

Re: Week #8 - Games of Interest
Coach K will probably coach Wednesday night against Georgia Tech then go on the shelf for 3-4 weeks for back surgery. It's really a testament to the amount of talent that they have that they're still a top ten team with all the injuries and story lines they're dealing with this year. I certainly don't envy the interim head Coach's job though. Keep Duke in good shape and successfully navigate Allen's suspension situation while getting everyone on the same page.

Injuries? Puh-leeeeze. So they're down to, what five McDonald's All-Americans? And they still get every bleeping call. We should have to endure such hardships.RhowdyRam02 wrote:Coach K will probably coach Wednesday night against Georgia Tech then go on the shelf for 3-4 weeks for back surgery.

Marist also won.
I wonder how much these three opponents winning today will effect our RPI tomorrow...
