Kind of road games we can hopefully add to the schedule some in the years ahead. Quad 1 and 2 road wins.
Saint Mary's won at Davidson. Year after year Randy Bennett has a terrific team at Saint Mary's

Re: Other Games Thread 2025/26
Been watching McNeese St on the road at Rhode Island and it’s so frustrating to watch. Rhode Island is not impressive (second time I’ve seen them), but McNeese looks like a completely different team from the one we faced.
Larry Johnson not making wild off balance layups, Machar turned back into a pumpkin (that 15 and 14 monster game against us was a total fluke), careless turnovers. They are still getting some steals, but not doing much with them.
McNeese is up 29-24, but if they had played lik this against us, we’d have beaten them by 20. Will be curious to see if this game picks up.

Re: Other Games Thread 2025/26
Speaking of strong candidates, Michigan has now won six consecutive games by at least 25 points after last night's 28 point win over Villanova (in a game where they led by over 30 in the first half). The streak started with our friends at Middle Tennessee State and also includes San Diego State, Rutgers, Villanova, Auburn, and of course Gonzaga, one of three Michigan victims who have fallen by at least 40 points during this streak. The Terps get them next at College Park on Saturday.

Re: Other Games Thread 2025/26
Duke is losing to Lipscomb in the 2nd half, hard to believe that holds but gives you a sense of the quality of some of these smaller schools with a KenPom/NET around 100-135
Dayton hammering Florida State early ...

Re: Other Games Thread 2025/26
Villanova beat Wisconsin 76-66 in a matchup of two programs that have fallen a lot from their mid/late 2010s heights. Villanova winning 2 Titles, Wisconsin making a Title Game, not easy replacing legendary Coaches.
Year 1 for Kevin Willard after the 3 year Kyle Neptune disaster run of .500 teams, year 10 for Greg Gard who hasn't made it out of the 2nd round of The Tourney going back now 8 years and is in real danger of missing the tourney altogether this year for the 3rd time in 8 seasons.
Seton Hall won at Providence, they look tourney bound after an awful year last season.
San Diego won at UC San Diego in one of the bigger upsets of the year, #49 losing at home to #264 NET.

Re: Other Games Thread 2025/26
The Gold Standard for all Non Power Conferences, the program GW and others should aspire to be
Gonzaga concluded its non-conference slate with a fairly comfortable 91-82 win over Oregon at the Moda Center in Portland on Sunday. They racked up a sublime 1.34 points per possession, the tenth-most that Oregon has given up over the past 30 seasons. The Zags are now 12-1 with all but four of those games against power-conference opponents. Their only loss was against Michigan, who hasn’t lost yet and doesn’t look like it will any time soon.It’s going to be another rough year for the Gonzaga-haters, who were giddy heading into the season as national media forecasted a down year for the program.
Barring something unforeseen - and fair warning, haters, my ratings give them a 35% chance of going unbeaten through the WCC schedule with an expected record of 17-1 - Gonzaga will enter the NCAA tournament at worst a two-seed.
