[Tu Geo]

Need Cincy over Houston today!!!!

GO TU!!!

 

[nevadanatural]

I’m rooting for Houston. Cincy will be a Q2 loss no matter what, I want Houston to be a Q1 win.

 

[nevadanatural]

Anyone watching UConn at Memphis? I’m not sure what this is but it doesn’t resemble basketball.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

It's a new game called Helter Skelter.

 

[Henry Kendall]

It’s playground ball. No flow. Just chunking it up. That’s why we own both of these teams...they can’t figure out our defense.

 

[Henry Kendall]

It’s Saturday, and Memphis still has the fugliest floor in all of basketball, and I still want to punch Hurley in the face.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Memphis tries to keep their made 3pt shots fairly close to a 50% ratio to their turnovers. That and pressure defense are their keys to winning.

 

[Henry Kendall]

It is still really really bad basketball by both teams

 

[nevadanatural]

What is the record for turnovers in a game? Memphis has to be gunning for for it.

 

[loca2874]

I think Nevada is right. TU broke Memphis. They haven’t played the same since

 

[Gmoney4WW]

They may be at the top of the second group, but I'm pretty certain they will finish in the second group. They're looking at a 4 through 6 finish after we broke them.

 

[TU_BLA]

Both of those teams are not very good. UCONN- they’re close in every game...they’ve also lost most of them. And of course the CBS idiots raving about what going back to the Big East means for them. It means they’ll finish in the bottom half more than not. Some of their football fans think they’re better off not in the AAC and being independent. They’re delusional.

Memphis- whoever thinks Quinones is a good player must be smoking something heavy. He’s terrible. He’s a turnover machine. I’d start Hardaway’s kid over Quinones right now. CBS guys making excuses they’re young. I’m pretty sure my son learned at 8 years old you don’t pass it to the other team.

And he needs to shoot his shorts with some growth hormones.

I think it’s the shorts

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Regardless of what it does for our net later on, I kinda want SMU to lose today. The farther up they're looking at us when we play, the happier I am. Take that and strap it next to your withering balls, Tyson, Ethan, & Feron.

 

[Bill Lowery]

And he needs to shoot his shorts with some growth hormones.

Are you saying you can see Quinones cajones in those shorts?

 

[URedskin54]

Even Kelly is getting her shots in on UCONN this year

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Are you saying you can see Quinones cajones in those shorts?

He looks like a ball baring emo kinda guy. Just love the strap in his hair.(Needs to be tying up us his equipment handicapped short sheeted cajones.)

 

[loca2874]

Update!!!

UT Arlington is beating the brakes off of UL Monroe
USF is up by 7 on UCF
Colorado state is tied with UNLV
South Carolina State is in a close game with North Carolina central

 

[alchemy]

USF has the worst uniform package in all sports in the entire NCAA in all divisions! What are they thinking?

 

[loca2874]

Update!!!

South Carolina State is getting whipped
USF is up by 10. This game is on ESPNU
Colorado state is up big on the running rebels
Austin Peay is getting slapped around by eastern Illinois
SE Louisiana is not doing well
Arkansas State is down by 6

finals

Kansas State lost to West Virginia
UT Arlington won
And Memphis won barely

 

[TulsaFan01]

Cincy about to beat Houston to put Tulsa in SOLE 1st PLACE!

 

[TulsaFan01]

Cincy wins! Tulsa 1st ALONE!

 

[loca2874]

I HAVE NO WORDS EXCEPT FOR

GOLDEN

HURRICANE

 

[loca2874]

LETS GO VANDERBILT!!!!

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Looks like Tulane is not going to grant my wish, and beat SMU. Oh well, two out of three still makes it a great weekend.(Houston,Us, and SMU)

 

[Gmoney4WW]

This is freakin' hilarious.

 

[old.guy]

I've always said Houston bites.

 

[TU_BLA]

I've always said Houston bites.

No sh*t. Too bad they don’t come back. We could start a Mike Tyson chant.

He was ejected upon replay. I wonder if the league office will suspende him for a game or two more. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if he missed our game down there.

 

[tulsahurricane0530]

Boise up 10 on Nevada with 4 to go

 

[TU_BLA]

No direct interest other than St. Mary’s is a bubble team we’ll need to lose some games, but watching St Mary’s/BYU and BYU has a PG that looks about 40 yrs old and like Richie Cunningham but much older and wi5out much hair (sort of like what Ron Howard looks like now, red hair and all). Maybe it’s the mysterious return of older brother Chuck who disappeared in the first season.

 

[loca2874]

Boise up 8 with just over 1 minute left

 

[TU4ever2]

Boise wins.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Boise up 8 with just over 1 minute left

So, how we gonna do tomorrow in the NET ratings?

Sky Rockets in sight, afternoon delight.

I do think we're officially in "games of other bubble teams are games of interest" territory now

 

[loca2874]

Gonna be hard to move up this high but with it only a 3 point win we should go up above 65. Not sure we break 50

I would agree with you on this to a point. Because of our OOC record and our strength of schedule, we can afford to lose to Houston and WSU on the road but not really anyone else. If we stay firm and only lose those two games in the regular season then I say yes what those teams do are of great interest to us

If we only lose two more games the rest of the way, it seems likely we win the regular season title. Is the AAC good enough for that to get us an at large bid?
