Welcome back to the 2024-2025 GOI. Sorry it is coming out so late but I have been busy with the Presidential Election (I am an election official) and the transition for the new administration. If you don’t know I work for the federal Government so this is a very busy time for me. I will try to get out the best I can. Remember this is my thoughts only. If you need to talk crap do it elsewhere cause I don’t care.

AAC heavy today. Tulsa tries to make it 2-0 when it takes on Arkansas Pine Bluff. The North Dakota at UTSA game has been postponed due to the weather that the upper central part of the US has been getting which has delayed travel for the Fighting Hawks.

Today’s games

Arkansas Pine Bluff at Tulsa
Coastal Carolina at East Carolina
Charlotte at Utah St.
Memphis at UNLV
Montana St at Wichita St.
Florida St. at Rice.

Full Schedule is below

AND ONE

The ratings that are listed on here right now is what they were for last years NET. I do plan to start using probably the KENPOM until the new NET comes out. Generally it comes out in December.

GO TU!!!

Yeah, on Memphis/Haggerty trailing!!!

I don't know if it's been mentioned already, but last game UCF beat Texas A&M. That will be a tough game against UCF.
 
Ok whew. Well that makes me feel better about my sheet. lol. quit playing with my emotions
Doesn't change the fact that UCF beat them. That's the point I was trying to get across. A future opponent beat Texas A&M.
 
Yeah, but I want you, and others to comment on my point! That was why I made the point. 😜 Our non conf schedule just got a little better.
Ok how about this I acknowledge that UCF edged out Texas A&M. Hopefully A&M is really good as expected so that a win to UCF will give us the boost we need to the schedule on a "Neutral" court

Down at the Mattress Firm Battleground 2k24, Florida State is up on Rice 33-23 and they are at the half

Wichita State and Montana State just started the second half and the Shockers up 50-39 with 18 minutes left
 
I will be quite a butthead to the professional athlete PJ haggerty if he shows up at the Reynolds center. This is not a child or student this is an adult with a professional contract that embarrassed us. He deserves special treatment.

Memphis doesnt play here this year. We play there. and Haggerty can suck it.
 
the game between UTSA and North Dakota has been cancelled. At this time they do not believe it can be made up but the possibility still hasnt been ruled totally out.
 
I just realized that a pt guard we were recruiting for quite some time went to Missouri St. Be interesting to compare him to Nash. (Mozay Downing Rivers)

Very Convincing win yesterday and if we put it up against their game against Cincinnati I believe it is pretty comparable. This is the first game I was able to watch as I had to go to bed around start time of the first game due to the election so early in the morning. I do think we got off to a rough start and early in the game I didn’t really see the hustle. As the game went on it was just off to the races at that point and we stuck them with a hundo. I am excited to see the rest of the season.

Only one American game today with SE Louisiana traveling to Birmingham to take on UAB. The ratings are from KENPOM. They have Tulsa at 146

The Tulsa women are also in action today at Missouri St.

Today’s games

SE Louisiana at UAB
ST Thomas (MN) at Oklahoma State.

You forgot to put down that he can also suck it
I remember some of his early interviews with the TU media team. They asked what he liked about Tulsa and TU. His main answer was "coach wants me to play my game."

That's about it. Did not really pretend to care about the university or city. I noted it in my mind back then.
 
UAB over SE Louisiana 82-72
Oklahoma State over st Thomas (mn) 80-71
Wow, OSU & UAB are not doing nearly as well as I expected.

9 & 10 pt margins over those two schools are unexpected for UAB & OSU. I don't think it's because St Thomas or SE Louisiana have taken a huge jump in team talent.

I was editing the above post, and forgot to change OSU out for St Thomas in above edit. I'm sure you figured that out, but whether you did or didn't, it is corrected now.
 
Happy Veterans Day to all of the veterans. Very small schedule for today. Tulsa dropped one spot yesterday in the KENPOM to 147.

Alcorn State at Tulane
Missouri Southern at Missouri State.

This is the least talented OSU team in 20 years imo. Coaching was upgraded but talent is lacking. Pokes will struggle until Lutz gets some players on that roster.

Yeah, I just didn't think they had sunk that far down. Only being able to pull out a 9 pt win against St Thomas is really low. I guess he wasn't able to recruit very well in one abbreviated recruiting season, but wow. The talent left over from the past recruiting staff must have been reallly low, kind of like what Haith left Konkol.

How many players returned?

Three. They are especially talent deficient in the front court. They will not kick TU’s ass on the inside this year like last season. I would actually give TU the edge in the paint this time around. Big12 play should be fun :).
