Dennis Gates is dumber than ford.  You lost a buy game at home to Jackson State....0-5 300+ NET Jackson State.   WOW

He forgot that in those buy games, the other team has nothing to lose.  Meanwhile, Jackson State was so bad, his team couldn’t take them serious, so here you go. This may be the only fell good moment Jackson State has all year, but right now they think they won a trip to the NCAA tournament.

Not sure we should be throwing stones about losing buy games.  Have a feeling we will see that a few times this year at Chaifetz.

Dartmouth is #320 currently. Utah State is #91 right now, Hofstra is #146 right now, Louisiana Tech is #113. We are #148. Those are our remaining home non-conference games.  Dartmouth is our only opportunity to lose to a low ranked team at home, right now Hofstra would considered a fairly equal match, the other two are teams that, if we beat them, give us a chance to climb the rankings per Kenpom.

Brandon Mitchell on Dartmouth is a local product. I coached him when he was in middle school.  He was of course our best player.  However, I don't think he will be enough for us to lose to Dartmouth...

Fantastic!  Sounds like a great young man, hope he has success at Dartmouth

The fact that this is true is very depressing.

And thinking I'd love to have Gates' incoming top 5 in the country recruiting class.  Hate say it, but Mizzou basketball is looking damn good to me.

[AGB91]

They aren’t there yet.

[RiseOfTheBillikens]

I was going to say I'd gladly be Mizzou right now. I watched part of that game and Jackson State looked good. They would of beat us that night. Not sure how they lost to the teams they did.

I think if you’re looking at our net/kenpom/A10 opponent wins, etc. this year it’s an exercise in staving off boredom.  The losses are gonna start piling up.

We absolutely suck.

Not absolutely. Miss Valley State is 362 of 362, so they hold the position of absolutely sucking.

If it’s any consolation, Lindenwood is 335 of 362….
