Re: Other Games - November

The Dude,  Harper isn't as lanky as his father but looks to be stronger than his father was as a player. I'll try to watch him closer tonight, but Baker was their leading scorer(or he did a lot of the scoring when I watched them), he's the one who may have wanted to turn pro because he put up better numbers.

Maryland leads Navy 32-25 at the half, Navy has been able to stay in the game, even with Maryland's huge size advantage. Maryland has been playing a trapping defense, but Navy(especially their guard Cam) has been able to beat it and get good looks. George Mason is struggling against Belmont right now

Re: Other Games - November

Geo Baker got hurt Wednesday evening and will likely be out tonight and maybe for an extended time. Not good news for Rutgers.

St Joe’s and LaSalle look better than us so far.

Re: Other Games - November

The A10 picked up some good wins in the past few days as VCU beat Memphis, 70-59 and St.Louis beat LSU, 85-81. The A10 has a huge game later today which I'll post down below. On a side note, Howard 5-star freshman Makur Maker will be shut down for the foreseeable future due to a groin injury. In addition to losing all 3 of their games by double digits, Howard has also been without 3 projected starters this year due to injury and pending NCAA eligibility for a transfer, so the Makur Maker era has gotten off to a rocky start. 

Richmond at #10 Kentucky         1PM   ESPN  - interesting matchup as you'll have Richmond's seniors battling Kentucky's 5-star freshmen 
San Francisco vs Rhode Island   5:30   ESPNU - this game is at the Mohegan Sun, San Francisco is coming off their stunning upset of #3 Virginia. I think they are now having 20 tournaments/OOC games at the Mohegan Sun

Mount St.Mary's at Maryland         2   Big 10 Network 
Hofstra at #24 Rutgers                  4   Big 10 Network

Re: Other Games - November

Richmond handily over #10 Kentucky at Rupp.  Best scalp of the year for the league?

Re: Other Games - November

Richmond dominated Kentucky during the 2nd half. Seems like yesterday Richmond fans were calling for Mooney's head.

Re: Other Games - November

Richmond shot below 30% in the 1st half and was only down by 4, I thought Kentucky would still win because of their length and athleticism, but Richmond's veterans spanked Kentucky's youngsters in the 2nd half. It was hilarious seeing Richmond move the ball on offense for open shots and layups, while Kentucky's 5-star, 1-and-done freshmen(Boston and Clarke) and their stud Wake Forest grad transfer kept playing hero-ball which led to bad shots and turnovers. In the final minute of the game and the outcome decided(Richmond was up by about 18), Calipari was actually calling time outs and using a full-court press, the announcers claimed this was to prepare them for future games??

Too bad for St.Joe's, they will pause activities for 2 weeks. What happens if this occurs during conference season? 14 days off could amount to 6 or 7 conference games, how would conferences handle that?

Re: Other Games - November

Enormous win for Richmond and the A10, resume stamper that could make a bid or no bid difference come March.

Richmond, SLU, VCU and Dayton all have a pretty good shot at dancing as we start this year up. A10 has 8 of the top 90 KenPom teams, not a bad haul.

Re: Other Games - November

Davidson loses to Texas by 2. Missed two 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds to win the game. Tough loss.

Re: Other Games - November

Between wearing a mask and growing some hair, it was very hard to tell that was Shaka out there.

Re: Other Games - November

Dukes playing now, two excellent games tomorrow
No, not GW! although we DO play tomorrow, I mean Duke vs Michigan St and Kentucky vs Kansas

Kentucky and Kansas are both coming off losses, Richmond with their big win has moved ahead of Kentucky in the AP poll.

Dukes struggling in the 1st half.  SLU a few votes of short of joining Richmond in the top 25 Poll.

Re: Other Games - November

Even with the loss yesterday at the Maui Invitational in North Carolina, Davidson still gets a chance to knock off a Big East team today. Duquesne lost by 10 to Arkansas Little Rock yesterday. Richmond is now ranked #19 after winning at Kentucky. Most outlets projected Richmond to finish 1st in the A10, so they could remain a top 15-20 team for the entire year. I just glanced at their schedule and it doesn't look like they are scheduled to participate in any big-time OOC tournaments(their highest profile game is at West Virginia later this month) so they may not be able to reach the heights that Dayton did last year. Remember, Dayton was able to get national attention after playing well against BCS teams in an early OOC tournament.

GWMayhem,  Shaka Smart was trending on twitter yesterday because he had hair! And if you think that was eye-opening, you need to see South Carolina coach/screamer Frank Martin, he now has a bald head!!

Eastern Illinois at Dayton  7  ESPN+
Davidson vs Providence   7  ESPN2

Navy at Georgetown         7  CBS SportsNetwork - Georgetown has a bunch of newcomers on its team like GW, we'll see if they have trouble guarding Navy too

Re: Other Games - November

He does have hair now at Texas, but he has zero NCAA Tourney wins at Texas.  6 years now, he's 40-50 in league play, 0-2 in the Dance.

Remember when Texas fired Rick Barnes, even though he took them to Final 4s and Elite 8s and 17 NCAA trips in 18 years, 186-94 in league play.  How many years does Shaka get at such a mediocre level??
Barnes missed 1 tourney in nearly two DECADES and won 20 NCAA games, a consistent very strong program. Shaka has had more than enough time now, and inherited an NCAA team, since then things have gone south/sideways

As for Rick Barnes? Back to the Sweet 16 at Tennessee with that juggernaut 2019 team he put together.

Re: Other Games - November

Thomas, good move by Frank Martin because the one thing that guy needs is a more intimidating look.

Navy keeping it interesting against Georgetown

Re: Other Games - November

Navy now up 10 with less than 2 minutes left playing at McDonough. Feeling a little better about the loss right now

Navy may beat Georgetown by more than they beat GW!!! Georgetown looked bad in every facet in the 2nd half

Re: Other Games - November

I'm not sure but we may need to start a new thread because NAVY BEAT GEORGETOWN BY THE EXACT SAME SCORE AS THEY BEAT GW, 78-71!! Navy's 2 guards(Cam Davis and Carter Jr.) abused Georgetown in a similar manner as they did against GW, both had over 20 today against Georgetown. Georgetown also made history today as this was their first loss ever against a Patriot League.
