2023-2024 Games of Interest

[Kung Wu]

Important to note that North Texas throttled Tulane without two of their best players (Rubin Jones and John Buggs III). North Texas has moved up ~50 spots in Bart Torvik over the past few weeks and now sits at #50.

Per Bart Torvik, the top of the AAC is as follows:

#28 FAU
#45 SMU
#50 North Texas
#61 Memphis

Outside of the top four the next best team is Charlotte at #108.

I believe Shockernet underestimates North Texas.

[ShockerFever]

They just won at Arizona

That was neutral in Vegas.

[TrackSuitAndTie]

I believe Shockernet underestimates North Texas.

With the caliber of player they recruit there's no reason they should be so much better than WSU so it's frustrating. North Texas plays the way I want WSU to play - probably my second favorite team in the conference.

UNI moves ahead of WSU on the at large (next 64 out) list with a quality loss at home to ISUb 77-66. Panthers cut the Trees lead to single digits several times in the 2nd half.

Belmont clowned the Geese in Nashville, eventually winning 87-65 (led by 30 or more).

E. Carolina 62

Tulsa. 57

We can take these 2! Right?

[forevershockerfan]

I believe Shockernet underestimates North Texas.

And maybe overestimates SMU?

[TrackSuitAndTie]

And maybe overestimates SMU?

The metrics say UNT and SMU are both pretty good, but I'm less sold on SMU than UNT.

Me too.

SMU up 12 at half at Memphis

[RoyalShock]

2 minutes into the 2nd half and Memphis has a grand total of 11 rebounds.

[forevershockerfan]

Memphis 62

59 SMU final

We are making everyone look good

[WuDrWu]

SMU is plenty good enough, for us at least.

[molly jabali]

Critical thing to remember about Memphis....Penny has no Mike Miller on the staff.....as a coach, Penny was a great player....

[RoyalShock]

Not a game of interest, but perhaps a player of interest. But only for getting on the all-name team.
