I think he did an east coast game Tuesday....ROOFEREES must be doing ok!

[JVShocker]

Zion Williamson has knee sprain supposedly. WOnder if he'll play another game this year?

And Jim Boeheim (Syracuse coach) hit and killed someone along a highway last night following their game with Louisville around midnight. Strange night for basketball.

[JVShocker]

Oh, and Nike's stock price is trending down this morning.

So, not only is every single team not named ECU/Tulane rated higher than every MVC team, but so is Louisiana Tech who is our worst loss this year. So we have not lost to a single team that is as bad as the best Valley team. Even in our worst year in a while.

[Aargh]

If we were still in the Valley, our NET would likely be lower. In the Valley, we'd still be hopeful of the league's autobid (and likely 13 or 14 seed), and then rely on a bunch of Fr to carry us through 3 games in 3 days in St. Louis. That seems like a way to have the greatest disappointment of the season saved for the end of the season.

[FadedCrown]

Aargh Or, our NET is higher because our guys have a talent advantage over Valley level players and we destroy most of our Valley competition.

[Topshock]

But if we are still in the MVC we likely have different players than we do now also.

[AZ Shocker]

Don't forget to add in the Dayton play-in game as well. Lol

[ShockerDropOut]

It’s good to be in the American!

[Shock Top]

Clear hook-and-hold by LSU on Williams for Tenn, didn’t call it...

cant even stick with their own rule changes...

[California Shocker]

Tenn vs LSU game, did anybody heard the mentioning Xman from Wichita State being a great rebounder? Good plug.

[N Crestway]

KU looking terrible...will be no better next year.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

The greatest team in the world who’s won the greatest conference in the known universe 13 straight years just lost by 30 to a football school from somewhere in the middle of Texas (a football state).

They are now 2 games behind the conference leaders, who are ranked ten spots behind them because AP voters are idiots.

[N Crestway]

I would think after this game they will drop quite a bit in the rankings.

[Aargh]

Shox gave up 52 points in the second half.

[N Crestway]

Poor offense probably led to it.

Thanks for somewhat salvaging the night.
