Today's Nonconference Opponents "Games of Note"

[ShockerFever]

That was a buttload of ugly.

Tennessee gets two chances for the win, down 1, and they go for contested 3 pointers? Does that make any sense? Way to lay the egg in that one, Vols.

11/30/12 - Green (good/win) and Red (bad/loss) - FINAL

Tennessee at Georgetown
DePaul at Auburn

37-36 Georgetown. Most of my HS games I officiate are higher scoring than that. Including the girls games. This was painful to watch.

I saw that 37-36 score on a web-site and thought it must have only been a half time score or at least not a FINAL SCORE. That is awful. That would have been a very hard game to watch.

[wufan]

The two teams combined to shoot 34% from the field and 35% from the line.

Great D my ass. Not saying the D hasn't been good, but the offense has been that bad.

Malcolm and FVV will eat the PG from TN alive. I'm predicting they both have 5+ steals.

I agree. I didn't see a lot of great defense. And both GT and Tenn looked really slow compared to the WSU. I spent the whole game thinking the shocks could run both of those teams off the floor. I'm thinking if the Shocks play the speed they like to play, it will result in lots of steels, lots of rebounds, and lots of fast breaks. Then if they shoot halfway decent, they could blow out the Vols.

+1

the only pg i've seen among our opponenents that could maybe survive the armstead-fvv attack is carter, that newcomer for drake.

The Top 25 Roundup in the sports page certainly had nothing positive to say about this game:

"On a night when the 'challenge' part of the event was the task of simply putting the ball in the basket, the teams combined to make just 7 of 20shots - from the free throw line. The field goal shooting was just as horrid, with the Vols hitting 33 percent and the Hoyas 36 percent. appropriately enough, the final possession of the game consisted of an air ball by Tennessee . . . followed by a 3-pointer at the buzzer which clanged off the rim."

WTF!!!!

I know this is not one of our nonconference opponents, but Dayton has held Northern Illinois to just five (5) points (10.5% shooting) in the first half and lead 26 to 5.

Dayton plays Illinois State before conference season starts.

Well, USM won't be coming into IBA undefeated. Lost to NM St 68-60.

Yeah too bad. Plus the 7' 5" 360lbs guy for New Mexico State was pretty tough.
