2019-20 Games of Interest

Tough night for the Fighting Chris Jans' as they took a page out of the WSU weekend playbook and shot 36% FG 23% 3FG and 18% FT and dropped a 50-65 decision at rival UTEP.

That cost Chris some money too. He gets $5,000 for each win over UTEP and New Mexico. I think it’s his first rivalry loss.

Somehow, I think Sheri will still get a nice Christmas present.

Memphis with a couple brutal dumb mistakes to lose any hope of winning this game. Wiseman jumps up and down with the ball getting called for a travel. Then Baugh runs like two feet out of bounds on the baseline

[DJShocker10]

Penny with the blow by on Altman.

MVC favorite LoLyola at home goes down to the Coppin ST FIGHTING FANGS bringing balance to the night.

74 game non-conference road losing streak snapped.

LOLoyola.

Evansville will be a play-in team. That's the hilarious part.

[ShockerFever]

Looks like Memphis's undefeated quest towards a national championship comes to a quick early detour.

And now the Austin Reaves Show on ESPN2.

Predictably, the media is already swarming to protect Kentucky.

Can you imagine losing at home to Evansville and thinking you still had a shot at a 1 seed?

And now the Austin Reaves Show on ESPN2.

Yes Austin had a good game - 17 points in 35 minutes (6 of 13 and 5 of 9 from 3 pt line)

Shockers could use/miss him!

[Jhook89]

Furman with the 91-47 beat down of Charleston Southern. They were up 48-14 at halftime.

[Stickboy46]

Yes Austin had a good game - 17 points in 35 minutes (6 of 13 and 5 of 9 from 3 pt line)

Shockers could use/miss him!

I think he finally broke 30% from 3 for the year now!

Can you imagine losing at home to Evansville and thinking you still had a shot at a 1 seed?

Not if I lived in Wichita.

[Cdizzle]

Yes Austin had a good game - 17 points in 35 minutes (6 of 13 and 5 of 9 from 3 pt line)

Shockers could use/miss him!

In those 35 minutes he also had 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks and 3 turnovers.

Who'd we get with that scholarship? Dex?

[JVShocker]

I think Evansville stopped at WalMart on the way home to get a dry shirt, pants, underwear, socks, maybe a new pair of shoes for Coach just to get him home. He was SOAKING WET in the locker room post game.

The thing that irritates me, however, is that instead of big media and pundits around the NCAA celebrating what an amazing win that was for Evansville, they're already back on the defensive.
"Its early in the season - by March, this will not be the same Kentucky team."

That's ballderdash! Not the word I want to use. but it begins with "B" and almost rhymes with "Horsespit". Let's downplay Evansville and really try and build Kentucky back up. We may have to change it, so that when we determine seedings in March, we don't count early season games against the team if it might harm their seeding in the tourney. Even more evidence pointing to the fact that NOBODY needs to be ranked in this sport until (maybe) mid-December.
