pmoehrin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I just realized... Boise State is going down to Long Beach soon to play Casper Ware and the 'Niners. If Boise beats them, Pitt is officially bad and they should feel bad.I would watch Long Beach State. They're coach Don Monson is the guy that helped get Gonzaga jumpstarted to where they are now. Didn't do as well with Minnesota but didn't do terrible either. Just couldn't break the glass ceiling with the Gophers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yeah, I've heard LBSU is going to be good this year. That was more an indictment of BSU's basketball mediocrity over the years. Ironically, though, that game will be a faceoff between two ex-Gonzaga coaches. Leon Rice coached under Mark Few from 1999-2010 at Gonzaga.

Brandon Triche is one of my favorite players in the countryYeah the Orange's comeback was awesome to watch (in my slightly biased student-fan opinion ). Additionally the consolation game between Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech went to the wire, plus UCF ended their game on a huge run to upset #4 UConn, giving them their first loss since their run to the championship last season. Also, FWIW, Harvard upset Florida State, but that game barely had either team hitting 40. That and watch Harvard choke away the Ivy League like they do every year Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Wow, the Big East is seriously having one of its worst days since the Thursday and Friday of the first NCAA Tournament weekend.

After the loss against Presbyterian, I actually predicted the Bearcats' loss to Marshall. They'll miss the tournament this year pretty easily.

Mr. Aware Eagle Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 My Auburn Tigers are 3-0!..... but we have one of the worst schedules in the NCAA. They're still in a rebuilding phase in Coach Barbee's second year, but games are still fun to go to. We have some good young talent and a nice recruiting class on the way. The team plays hard and plays physically, which I hope they can continue into conference play.If you ever see an Auburn game on television, look for me in the front center of the student section, acting a fool.Also, really can't believe UNC lost tonight. Unreal win by UNLV. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 You know, college football could actually learn a few things from college basketball. If we can't have a playoff, I'd at least like to see early-season neutral site tournaments (if there's a decent way to pull that off) or maybe a Bracket Busters type thing for teams on the BCS bubble.I also would like scheduling FCS teams to be banned. That crap deprives us all of potential marquee matchups in such a short season, doesn't really help either team (beyond the paycheck that the FCS school gets), and allows some teams to live off their preseason ranking and coast until conference play. Boise State/Georgia and Oregon/LSU were great games... it's a damn shame we can't have more matchups like that early in the season. Basketball can get away with scheduling cupcakes because their season is longer and they also play tough opponents OOC. In football, the cupcakes only ensure that the regular season is mostly unwatchable until conference play. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In football, the cupcakes only ensure that the regular season is mostly unwatchable until conference play.If teams can't schedule FCS squads, they'll all be in a rush to schedule teams like North Texas and Eastern Michigan. When you get all the "cred" you need in your conference schedule, there's no reason to play difficult games outside of conference play.In other news:Cincinnati will need to take care of business in the Big East. Same for UConn. Those are two teams with pitifully weak non-conference schedules and who evidently didn't learn the lesson that teams should have learned from Colorado last season, Va. Tech the season before and Penn State before that: The NCAA Tournament Committee does not reward teams for putting together weak non-conference schedules like they're football schedules.Also Marshall is better than advertised. Three bids are possible out of C-USA this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
