Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 04, 2025, 11:18:05 PMThis bothers me so much. Royce is a big problem in this department. They get the look and panic. All fundamentals go out the window when we get close to the basket.

Whatever happened to playing off two feet and playing through contact?

Thanks for this. Adds to the whole picture.

I was going to ask for more basic and advanced stats as well

Xavier with a nice win over Cincy in the Crossrown Shootout. X's roster starting to come together.

Tre Carroll droped 30 on 14/23 shooting. Rivalry games...

Do upsets ever happen in college volleyball? Maybe tomorrow will be the day for a big one!

Not that big.

There are levels to women's college volleyball, even more so than college football. There are teams in the top 10 that have absolutely no chance to beat one of the top 4 teams, and that's the same every year. There's usually about 3-5 teams that can win it all, and any team outside of those has almost no chance of beating any of those 3-5, let alone having to beat 2 or 3 of them to win it all. It'd be interesting to see how often a non-1 seed wins it all. I'd guess well under 10% of the time.

Louisville is outside of that group this year, but they're the tier below it and Marquette is a couple tiers below that.

I wouldn't bet a dime for or against this team.
When they start showing a sweat, imight reconsider.

Why did Valpo nearly win?
Could it be because they didn't have to win?
No pressure, they played lose as a goose.
We had to win, we nearly (I'm being kind) panicked. 
Winners play with intuition, they believe in themselves and their teammates.
I think we have too many players who believe in their teammates, but not in themselves. 
Too much time sitting on the bench being good teammates, cheerleaders if you will.
Too much time watching videos.
Just play.

Has anyone watched The Chair Company?  It's an absolutely crazy and hilarious show, but you probably have to be a Tim Robinson fan to enjoy it.

Taking MU money line. Time to get rich(er).

Quote from: WhiteTrash on December 05, 2025, 05:00:45 PMI understand and agree the reality of the situation has to be delt with, and maybe unrelated, but the fact is Michigan State has messed up priorities.

Hey now, $11 million is going to the actual university, thats almost 3%. Maybe they can hire back the 99 faculty and staff they let go earlier this year.

Nah...
