Today something will have to give, as Marquette and Oklahoma are a combined 0-5 against top-100 teams. The Sooners early season offense has been as advertised, but their defense remains a work in progress. We check back in on our updated Sooners preview.

Quote from: Viper on Today at 07:34:33 AMRGV...helll yeah!

St. John's roster construction this year does suck.  Brew laid it out pretty good in his season preview of them.  It's a flawed team that isn't nearly as good as their pre-season ranking.  They'll win enough games to make the tournament but they're not a serious threat to make a deep run in March

Quote from: Fieldhouse Flyer on Today at 07:40:51 AMBy a surprizing coincidence, Dayton has now won 7 out of 8 of their games against Big East opponents since the NBE was formed for the 2014-15 season:

Too many of you spend too much time obsessing about Dayton 'not being good enough for the Big East'. Get a grip.

Moving on...

You 'Dayton haters' will be pleased to learn that the Flyers are a 10½-point underdog to #9 BYU tonight.
 
The Dayton Flyers have lost three National Championship games in their storied history – the first being against BYU in 1951:

We still hate BYU 74 years later. Best of luck against Oklahoma tonight!

Dayton sucks

The Flyers pulled off the upset in Dayton last year. Can they do the same in Milwaukee and push for an NCAA bid? Cracked Sidewalks has your Dayton Preview.

Quote from: brewcity77 on November 27, 2025, 02:37:44 PMNot sure why that would surprise anyone. Their roster construction sucks.

Quote from: wadesworld on November 27, 2025, 09:20:16 PMI wish we could pay for a 6'10" player to come get 3 rebounds per game and shoot 34% from the field for us.

you're paying for that now

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on November 27, 2025, 11:18:34 AMOK. Now please explain how the cellar dwellers in the major conferences, "utilizing all the recruiting tools available", have not achieved the same results.

I'll make it easier for you. Totally disregard Marquette because Shaka is the only coach not "utilizing all the recruiting tools available". That way you are comparing apples to apples without an anomaly messing up your explanation.

If Marquette was where Purdue and Michigan are or if Marquette finishes the season winless, nothing, nada, zip, zero would be proven regarding the use of the portal. I think it is a fair guess that you are not a statistician.

Onepost gave the name Sherlock Holmes after I busted him for trying to sneak in a major revision of one of his posts. Please humor me and use that name, because I really like it. You can call me Sherlock or Mr. Holmes. Either would be fine.   

Heading out for our Thanksgiving dinner soon. Are you going to your BIL's house for yours?

...bad at math. My IRA's and other investments look great of late...using all the tools to financial wins, but yeah, the Helen Keller of math.

Quote from: DFW HOYA on November 27, 2025, 11:18:12 PMActually, people are generally positive. Hoyas came back from 14 down with 5:37 to force overtime, outscored Dayton 16-2 during this run. Missed a three to tie with 0:03 in OT when the went around and out.  No shame there.

Won't help attendance next week, but it was a good showing.

Seriously, you lost like dogs...
