Old guy Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 Bklinghamton is 321, New Hampshire is 306 and I have no doubt the others are not better. It really does not matter a win is a win. It matters only when you have to play against a strong opponent and your team has been winning games against low level schools. Quote
CenHudDude Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 Maryland had only played 3 weak opponents before facing the much stronger Billikens, and then______________ Quote
3star_recruit Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 Our defense comes and goes so far this season. Hopefully it comes tomorrow. Quote

In terms of the normal distribution curve the result for this game was around 4 standard deviations away from the median. It was a game in which everything flowed favorably for Maryland, and, of course unfavorably for us. These events are very uncommon and it would be highly unusual if we had something similar happening with Auburn. We did beat Memphis and Providence both of which were strong opponents. So, let's not lose sleep tonight fearing another loss like Maryland. The spread does not favor us by 7 points and a part of it is the home game factor. We will see what happens tomorrow. Quote
CenHudDude Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 I’m not expecting another Maryland game, but, as many MBMs have posted, we are going to need to bring our A game today to pick up this W. Quote
Old guy Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 What we really need to do is to keep the pressure on Auburn all the way to the end of the game. If the starters run out of steam, bring fresh players out that are fully charged and ready to play and give the starters a rest. billiken_roy 1 Quote

dennis_w Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 games are short with plenty of stoppages, media timeouts, out of bound plays , free throws and half time, these guys dont get exhausted, you play your best players as much as you can VeniceMenace 1 Quote
HoosierPal Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 One of the craziest plays ever. A deflected inbounds pass goes through the hoop. Quote

I don't think it's necessarily "exhausted" nor is it close to a guarantee that the strategy of wearing down your opponent will be successful. I do believe that it's absolutely about pushing your opponent to a point physically where they make poor decisions from fatigue. Quote

An A-10 fan Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 A Saint Louis win would help the entire A-10, not just them. Quote

Cowboy II Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 -well that sucks, hope SVU finds a way to win games Quote
billikenbill Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Davidson falls in OT to Charlotte 68-66 on a three-pointer at the buzzer. Loyer had 22 and Mennenga 21. Looks like the Wildcats are a two-man team. Quote

Both home teams won. George Washington also beat South Carolina at home, so they weren’t all buy games. Saint Joseph’s also upset Penn at the Palestra. Quote
