We are 8 - 3 in OOC, not 3 - 8, get a grip for Gosh stakes! Not a bad start at all.

We are 8 - 3 in OOC, not 3 - 8, get a grip for Gosh stakes! Not a bad start at all. And two of those losses were to ranked (or borderline ranked) teams on a neutral court! In other news, the sky is still falling…

Boise State has crept into “next four out” territory on Lunidaris last braketology along with us and Clemson. He has Marquette in the “last four byes” category. All three of those Charleston games should be recognized as quality wins

I looked up Loyola and the rest of the Patriot League standings, Navy and Army are right there at the top, but it's early and Loyola Md, beat the team with the best overall record in the conference, Boston University. So they've only played three conference games but so far they are holding their own.
Marquette, as much as I'm not a big Shaka Smart guy, he has the Golden Eagles playing with energy. He gets a lot of players into the game, that press can get them points in a hurry. Just like in the Providence game, Marquette went up early and then Providence came back and then Marquette went on a run again. Tonight it was Georgetown in their place, they were without a couple of guys, but that said, MU brought energy, the George Mason transfer point guard was 6 or 6 early on. Marquette extend a 22-15 lead early on to 45-24 only to let Georgetown get back in it and make it a single digit lead at the half, they crept a couple of points closer and then Marquette opened it up to 84-58, I'm not sure of the final, but I have to think Marquette is building confidence and it's all good for us.
Tomorrow UConn plays Seton Hall in a big game the Pirates are 1-3 and it might be a lot harder if they drop to 1-4. Also routing for Clemson that goes into Raleigh tomorrow against NC State. I think Boise State is on pause as well. Not OOC, but I think Rhody and Davidson play tomorrow as well.
And, let's not forget UNI tries to even their record to 7-7 and 3-1 in the Valley, against a pretty good Missouri State team, it will be interesting to see if UNI can continue to improve.
While I'm chapping at the bit for us to bet back on the court, it can't hurt to root for some of these teams as we try and repair our net, while it's incremental it's all good. Go Bonnies

Watching UConn vs Seton Hall. Huskies are a big team. Both of these teams may be Sweet 16 teams. We had problems with UConn length for sure.

Well what do you know ? We focus on winning the A-10 and things will take care of themselves. The Northern Iowa loss, while frustrating - especially at home - will not turn out to be a bad loss, as many on this forum have maintained all along.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN (pleeeeease ...)

While I may eat my hat on UNI, they are playing a very good Missouri Sate team on CBS Sports, MS went up big early on, but it's a one point game at the half. If you see this post and can tune in, watch this guy Mosley for Missouri State, he put on quite a show in the first half. Despite all the fireworks UNI has been able to get to the rim at will. This would be a good one for them to win and us to down the road. Loyola Chicago came back from being 14 down against Bradley to force overtime. They've got a good team, but not as good as in years past IMO, I don't think they are going to run the MVC.
Another observation on UConn/Seton Hall, it was a fun game to watch. As much as I wanted to see a UConn win for our index, the guy who owned the Huskies was a guy I remember seeing in the portal from Syracuse, I believe right after the NCAA tournament, how Boehiem didn't see the talent there is beyond me. 6-6, 200, guy last name Richmond, 27 mins/27 points, 10-13, he personally sank Hurley's boat. Richmond was avg 7 pig.
This would be more A10 news, but here I am, watched the Dukes play UMass in Amherst, Jackie Johnson went off for the Dukes.
