2019-20 College Basketball Thread

Jerry Stackhouse’s Vandy team fails to make a three pointer for the first time in 1080 games. Even though they tried 25 times.

Road teams 29-22 in the ACC so far this season. That’s nuts.

This whole season is nuts, everywhere. I thought Duke might be the dominant team, but then they drop two straight, the last at home to a sloppy Louisville squad. For those who love parity it must be a real Fap Fest. Gotta love ol' Roy tanking on his team, though. That alone is enough to make me enjoy this season ..
 
Vandy sucks. Stackhouse looks like Manning 2.0. It’s obviously early, but not encouraging.
 
Yeah, Vandy is bad, but for the 2nd year in a row, they have lost their best player by far to a season ending injury. Pretty incredible that two years ago, Vandy had a top 10 recruiting class signing #11 Simisola Shittu, #14 Darius Garland and #64 Aaron Nesmith, and they have not won an SEC game since. 0-23. Also, its not like the SEC is that great. You think they would stumble into a win here and there like WF and BC have done.
 
I am sure there are exceptions, but the odds of getting a good coach with long NBA history vs a guy who began coaching college basketball at 22 seems so much lower.
 
It’s fun to see Roy’s and K’s reactions when they lose. In his post game interview K acted his usual holier than thou self, saying he wanted to give Louisville all the credit, and not criticize the officials, then went on a lengthy rant about how the game was the most physical he has seen in years and that the officials didn’t call the game close enough. He was clearly posturing for future games.
 
Wow 6 of the top 25 lost to unranked teams by double digits yesterday, highlighted by #4 Auburn losing by 22. College basketball does indeed suck this year.
 
Baylor ascends to #1 of the AP Poll. Scott Drew took the Baylor job in 2003, in the wake of a murder scandal. Drew's first year, Baylor was #232 (8-21). Baylor made the NCAAs for the first time under Drew in year 5. The Bears made the NCAAs 8 times over the next 12 years, and this appears to be Drew's best team. It can happen.

We were #1 a few years ago and promptly got our asses kicked by WVU. Tonight will actually be our first home game ever as a #1 team.

Haven’t read much in the last few years, but Drew used to have a real sleazeball rep on the recruiting trail with regard to tactics, and the type of kids he was bringing in. Not sure if that is still accurate but he’s done a hell of a job without getting caught.
 
I went to small college (NAIA) game over the weekend. Very small crowd (even smaller than Wake games) and without TV coverage there were no extended TV timeouts. The game went pretty quickly. It was refreshing.

One bracketology site I saw recently had WVU playing its opening weekend game(s) in Cleveland. That brought back painful memories of Mike Bleeping Gansy. Whether we would have beaten WVU at a site more than 200 miles from its campus is unknown. I know it certainly didn't help to be playing a lower seed at a site more than half as close to its campus than to Wake.
 
Brutal game in southern California. 21-23 halftime
40-50 final, UCLA over USC. Both teams had a flurry of last minute scoring for the final result. It was about 33-40 at the last TV timeout.

That is truly amazing.
 
Shaka down 25 at half vs West Virginia. He should fit right in at wake. 😉
 
State has gone over 10 minutes without a point...crazy. Virginia on a 15-0 run during that time.

Edit - and they finally hit a 3 to end the drought.
