Crewsorlose Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Auburn's strategy will involve two things: finding a way to frustrate Yuri so that Ford keeps him off the floor. Any fool knows that our offense runs better with Yuri driving it; getting French off the court. French is a monster and if can be limited to 20-25 minutes, it gives Auburn a much better chance at having its way down low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be surprised if we beat this overrated SEC team and you bet your ass we cover those 10 points. IF we do not win, it won't be because of foul trouble or turnovers, it will be because of missed free throws. With The Bills currently the worst FT shooting team ITN and Aub with a D- at the foul line....it may be , who ever makes the first FT wins the game. Besides the tongue in cheek remark , I made here....I am editing this post to include the real info ...of the 10 pt spread...4 of those 10 come from FTs...so while maybe not the difference maker...it certainly is an important part of the spread...plus if it becomes a close game (within 6 ) anything can happen. billiken_roy, Littlebill and rgbilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious why you don't include Mississippi Valley St (and 353 teams for that matter)? Not a criticism; just curious if there is a reason they are not considered.

I can't explain the discrepancy....I have 2 sources that have the BIlls at 353....Team Rankings and Sports Direct...They have MVSU at 55.8% ...good for 351. And I am using 353 as a base ...when I mentioned battling for 352....The Bills are at 353 and Winthrop is at 352....thus The Bills are battling for 352.

The Wiz Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 On the the 350 question....there are 3 teams that are not full members of Div 1 (they are new)...N Ala....Cal Bap...& Merrimack.... they do count in the standings. As for the different standings on FTs....I think the discrepancy is a time factor between data services. ..I have 1 service that updates as soon as the game is complete....another service updates after the last game of the day and some update every few days. Sometimes my instant will be different than my daily....bottom line ...we are F- and not close to F no matter who you check with.....btw we finished at 352 last year with a 59.8% vs 53.5% this year....we've got a ways to go to match last year's mark.

Compton Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The Hokies didn’t break into the Top 25 in 2017-18. Although I think they came close a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill 'em all, let the paramedics sort 'em out. Agreed. But compared to historical pregame articles, it has given the Billikens some praise. Mentioned the Has/Goodwin Double Double machine and gives our freshman some love. All deserved.

The Billikens, led by Jordan Goodwin, will rain blood on the A-10. If Xavier was still around, we'd zip them up first.
