Dickie V gave us a ton of love during this SMC-Murray State game. Said that the Shockers and MSU are easily the two best non-BCS teams.

How does that compare with real (i.e. BCS) teams? :disillusionment:

MSU beat Wisconsin 69-55

VT handed FSU the game 48-47 by missing something like 12 of 14 FT's in the final 3 minutes. FSU is still an atrocious team on offense.

Just streaky and insanely inconsistent. They put up 70-80 one night and 40 the next. They outperformed Duke's showing against NC State today, despite Duke being at home and FSU on the road. They're a better team than the Sweet 16 team from last year. Not A great team, but better.

Tulsa leading Rice 31-26 with under a minute left in the 1st half

Evansville leading Western Illinois 26-14 at halftime

UAB leading Tulane 27-22 with 2 minutes left in the 1st half

#24 Gonzaga trailing San Francisco 36-33 at halftime

Oh goodie....Bradley losing at home to the last place Horizon team. Will Geno Ford last the off season? Missouri State will probably fall out of the top 100....goodie again.

Not sure this year can be laid on Geno. Just think how bad Bradley would have been had Taylor Brown not recovered from his health issues.

Kyle Weems just seems to be going through the motions this year. Maybe he has to be able pound his chest and give the throat-slash gesture to be able to function on the basketball floor. Apparently, Coach Lusk not into that so much. Some MSU fans already comparing him to Barry Hinson.

I agree on Weems. He looks like one of those players that exudes confidence when everything is going right. When faced with adversity, he loses interest.

#23 Mississippi State falls to 0-2 this week with a loss @ Auburn

[WuDrWu]

That's totally embarrassing. 56-44 AT HOME to a team that's 1-14 in the Horizon. Geno, we hardly knew ye.

[WuDrWu]

Bradley has quit several times this year, and that's on the coach. I didn't expect the Braves to contend, I did expect them to play hard.
