Not surprised by Academy of Art offense tonight, but always thought their defense was a little sketchy.

I don't think you can paint them with a broad brush.

UC-Davis will have to get up off the canvas....

[Kel Varnsen]

At the very least I’d say the Academy of Art left a big impression.

[WstateU]

Davis got Art U'ed...

[Shocker Mama]

This was a fun way to start the week! You are all so clever.

My starting five for the Academy of Art

PG Van Gogh
SG Manet
SF Monet
PF John Stuart Curry
C Jasper Johns

Sorry, but you've gotta have Jackson Pollock in the lineup as a combo guard. Dude sees the floor like none other and will splash from anywhere. #wet

UNI on the verge of locking up an at-large leading the Bonnies late on the road.

Funny you say that, was on the UNI message board for a good laugh, and they were laying out the scenarios of how they get an at large bid yet...seriously 100% laughable!

Is their mascot an easel?

[BAShocker]

I think they inadvertently left of the letter “F” in front of the word “Art”.

There's a chance of seeing St. Bonaventure in March. Perhaps, in a 6v 11 or a 7v 10 game.

I see Vermont and Nicolas winning their conference tourneys at the end. So, they're not bad losses. If we're 27-6 at the end we're a 9 seed, 26-7 about a 10 seed, and 25-8 an 11 seed in the First Four.

o, I'm not a math major, but lets be super generous and UNI a 90% chance of winning each game from here on out. I believe that puts UNI's expected season record [D1 Games] at 28.9 - 6.1. I took your word for it that there are 31 games left.

Let's be less generous, but still quite generous, and give UNI a 75% chance of winning each game. Expected record falls to 24.25 - 10.75.

UNI went 26-5 in two years ago and that probably wasn't enough. Drake went 25-4 last year and were the last team in. To even get into the NCAA discussion, UNI/Loyola/Drake/MSU will have to do something that is very unlikely over the next couple months. Not really even worth worrying about for a while. Let's just hope they keep playing good ball for now.

The good news IMO is that the Valley is hopefully going to be stronger at the top than it has been in recent years. With [hopefully] 4 top 75 teams, there will be more Q1 and Q2 opportunities, and the pressure to put up some ridiculous record will not be as high.

Fair enough, and yes I agree, UNI would be comfortably if that were to happen.


CANNOT make it up.

Then there's this voice of reason.

Honestly nothing says "Panthernation" like being 2-3 with 1 D1 win and saying "you know, if we only lose 2 more games the entire season, we can maybe get at-large" lol. But I mean that in an endearing way because I do the same thing


GOLD.

[shock]

Right now the Shocks are playing with fire by playing MTXE ball. More turnovers and extra errors.

Straight gold.

[wichshock65]

Earl Grant takes down USF by 15. 64-49

[WuDrWu]

Will Tarleton do the Shocks a solid by surprising the Zags tonight? Survey says…..!!!

Tulsa trails ORU late.

[wichshock65]

Oral Bob beats Tulsa 87-80.

Bad night for the 'merican.

And HERE is where I place my annual “ Frank Haith is stealing Tulsa’s money” post…..
