2017-18 Games of Interest

[shocks02]

Tulane has been a pleasant surprise. 6 wins all of last year and 4-0 to start the year? I'll take it.

Temple is up 37-31 at the half on Clemson in the Charleston championship game. Temple is an interesting squad. They have a lot of shooters but not much inside. They mostly stand around the three-point line and take shots, but it's working.

I'm not sure that Temple know what a screen is. They are talented though.

Tulane has an awful SOS. They will finish 10-2 non-con and in 9th place in the AAC. They scheduled well for their team.

[Shockm]

Maybe so on sos but their talent level is legit and Dunleavy can coach. They look good enough to perhaps compete for a Top 6-9 spot. They look better than Tulsa, ECU, USF, Memphis, and maybe Houston. They could also upset a Top 5 team at home too. They looked good the other day. They are not the bottom dweller that was predicted.

They did the same thing in volleyball. They went 11-2 in the non-con and are 3-15 and tied for last place in conference play. And I think AAC men's basketball overall is a strogner conference than AAC volleyball is this year.

from the little bit i watched sunday, tulane looks to have good size. they don't look like an undersized mid-major team.

Their defense is pretty good. They have good length and athleticism. The offence appears to be a work in progress. While its obvious they are very much improved, i'm not completely sold on them yet. At this point i'd say they are better than ECU, USF, and maybe Tulsa.

[shocks02]

I could see Tulane winning 6 or 7 games in the AAC this year. At least they're trending in the right direction. Can't say the same for USF and ECU.

UMKC is leading Manhattan 56-49 w/7 minutes to go on a neutral court in FL. This would be a nice win for the Roos.

[Mr. Pickle]

UMKC wins by 11. How bad is Manhattan?

Manhattan just beat Harvard on Saturday.
