lol @ citing RPI in november

11/24/2014 9:33:39 PM

^ well when you start pretty high he makes a point. It takes a lot more to fall down than it does to gain like we have had to do the last 3-4 years

11/24/2014 9:39:55 PM

LOL at Indiana losing to Eastern Washington at the HOOSIERS SHOWCASE

11/24/2014 9:43:16 PM

uhh, no. even losing big to a highly rated team makes a huge positive impact at this point.

there are a bunch of different RPI approximations online, and according to the first one I looked at (RealTimeRPI), has us at 54. Boston University is 53 with a 1-2 record (win over Norfolk State, losses to Kentucky & Northeastern)

I haven't either, but I don't care how they call the game, I just hated how every time a player fell down last season they went to the monitor for 5 minutes to see if he took an elbow to the face. Outside of the State game last night I haven't seen any clock issues either. Last year it seems like every time the whistle blew they had to take a minute to reset the clock correctly.

20 point dogs? seems about right. tOSU needs to win big to stay in the top 4 but haven't covered the last few weeks. Terrible conference as usual.

11/26/2014 2:11:16 AM

this is the basketball thread. i was talking about the villanova ending.

11/26/2014 12:24:01 PM

A UNC team that can't make FTs is a fun thing to watch.

11/26/2014 1:40:32 PM

Butler laying the wood this 2nd half

11/26/2014 1:40:54 PM

came in to poast
Butler 58
Live - 8:44 2H

North Carolina 44

11/26/2014 1:43:05 PM

was getting ready to post that, as a basketball fan, I am a little disappointed in Paige's start to the season. I just thought that he was poised to do much more.

11/26/2014 1:46:59 PM

He will come march, but I'll enjoy the struggles till then.

11/26/2014 1:48:24 PM

Marcus Paige goes to class. How can you be disappointed in him?

11/26/2014 1:52:48 PM

I'm told his poor performance today is due to an exam he was up all night studying for.

11/26/2014 1:55:43 PM

Paige is still the only good three point shooter on that team. When he's not hitting against a decent team, they are toast.

11/26/2014 1:57:16 PM

Leading scorer fouls out on a 3pt play for Paige. Sounds about right haha.

11/26/2014 2:16:09 PM

11/26/2014 2:21:51 PM

What a great way to start the Thanksgiving holiday. Eat a dick and die Carolina.

11/26/2014 2:22:30 PM

The end of basketball games are so over-coached.

11/26/2014 2:23:20 PM

Insiders I know at Butler said that Lewis was vital in scouting for their game against UNC. They even said that he was virtually running practice and showing teammates how to shut down Marcus Paige which is why he couldn't hardly get nothing going.

11/26/2014 2:40:17 PM

@ICMeltdown

Worth a follow

11/26/2014 2:42:52 PM

I hope Purdue beats BYU. I want their RPI as high as possible when we play them so it's a cushion if we lose and bolsters us even more if we win

11/26/2014 6:39:36 PM

oh my.

11/29/2014 11:22:14 PM

Lol 2 for 29 from 3 combined. Tony bennett is a defensive jedi master.

11/29/2014 11:31:19 PM

attempted 9 and 3 free throws. wow.

11/29/2014 11:36:12 PM

Rutgers scored 2 points after the under-16 timeout

11/29/2014 11:38:29 PM

only 9 fouls on virginia? WTF does Tony Bennett have on these refs that they don't call fouls on that team? I've watched Tony Bennett coached UVA teams grab, pull, yank and tug on guys enough over the last few years without there being fouls called. Its absolutely ridiculous.

11/30/2014 10:04:35 AM

Uconn vs Texas now.

I don't think Uconn can beat Duke this year.

11/30/2014 1:26:38 PM

notice from the boxscore that Purvis hasn't seen the floor today. Is he hurt?

11/30/2014 1:33:45 PM

sprained ankle

11/30/2014 1:35:09 PM

emotionally.

11/30/2014 1:35:19 PM

Damn, Texas hit a buzzer beater.

11/30/2014 2:16:29 PM

Ouch. Boatright on crutches now too...

12/1/2014 9:16:12 AM

when are those limp dicks at the AP going to update the poll?

12/1/2014 9:58:18 AM

it's out.

State got 12 votes in AP and 14 in coaches.

if we pull off a win at Purdue and against Wake at home we'll be in the top 25 for sure and just build on it until we have to play Tennessee and WV

[Edited on December 1, 2014 at 3:26 PM. Reason : .]

12/1/2014 3:25:14 PM

32 undefeated teams remaining, 11 of them are playing on Tuesday

Go STATE!

12/1/2014 10:46:43 PM

Can we just let Duke and Kentucky play a 7 game series and call it the division 0 championship.

12/3/2014 11:37:52 PM

lol, Michigan lost to NJIT

12/6/2014 2:14:57 PM

good job GT

12/6/2014 2:24:05 PM

Also UConn lost last night to Yale 45-44. First time since 1986.

12/6/2014 2:25:08 PM

Virginia breaks the VCU press without turning it over and slows it down to setup their offense but still gets a layup or open 3 almost every trip. Tony Bennett is the best college coach i've seen.

12/6/2014 2:52:11 PM

Damn, Green Bay is up 14 on Miami with under 8 minutes left.

12/6/2014 3:29:04 PM

WTF is up with the acc

GT loses to USC Upstate
Miami loses by 13 to Green Bay

12/6/2014 4:20:13 PM

really surprised to see Miami lose. thought they were playing really well

UVA beat VCU today pretty handily.

12/6/2014 4:22:24 PM

Purdue lost to North Florida.

12/6/2014 5:47:58 PM

Green Bay is a very good team. Tony Bennett is a god. A major program will come after him soon. UVA better fork over the cash.

And yeah that Purdue loss to UNF makes me

12/6/2014 8:40:29 PM

i find it silly that purdue losing makes you sad instead of us losing to purdue making you sad (fair assumption it didn't or you would've already been sad)

State fans have to get out of the wishful thinking mentality that we lost because the other team was so good and not because we just aren't as good as we should be.
