      They could just as easily have several more losses and less wins right now.
      Having a guy you can't get within 3 feet of without sending him to the free throw line probably comes in extra handy in a bunch of one possession games.

        • Cumberland is better at "Nate Funking" than Nate Funk was.
          The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
          We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

            And those other three were also in consecutive games.

              As much as we complain about our FT shooting, TU was 7-19 for 36.8%. That's some impressive FT defense by the Cougars.

                a couple weeks ago, I referred to Cumberland as a thug. Somebody got a little pissy with me and I didn't understand why. Now I have read an article that claims that term is offensive and racist. Actually, the term came from India and it meant about the same thing it means now

                      • I actually thought the Shocks had a pretty good night last night with 2, 3, and 4 in the conference losing. I’m coming at it from a different angle that if the AAC only gets two bids, we need to be moving up in the standings. I just can’t see the selection committee taking 1st place and 5th place and bypassing 2, 3, and 4 no matter what the metrics say.

                          • Ruh-Roh UNI down 17 to ISUB. Another loss won’t hurt their at-large right?

                            • 2 OT in Philly. This conference loves OT.

                                With this loss I have UNI and North Carolina as a 7/10 matchup.
