Duke. Based on RPIForecast, Duke has a 0.2% expected impact on our RPI while Virginia Tech's expected impact is half that at 0.1%. Clearly, we cheer for the Dookies.

Jesu84 must be on break, because he certainly would have something to say about the placement of this thread.

Slacking big time.

Not only is this superbar, but we have like 4 threads on Buzz now. 2 on the front page today.

All I ask for 2017 is a little structure and organization on Scoop.

Buzz is a heck of a coach.  He's doing unbelievable things at VT.

Hokies may just have a top 10 team in the works- play great defense and can penetrate and shoot

God forbid someone disagree with you on placement of threads. Many here enjoy following old Marquette players and coaches. You could just not click on the thread? It was clearly labeled

Love peoples reactions to one game, at home, to a team without their leader.  VPI is good this year, but not top 10.  Is Georgia Tech a top 10 team with a great coach because they are taking it to UNC?

Way to early to be calling teams top 10.  They can shoot though, and that is why they dominated this game, they were on fire.  Next time they may be cold and look like the worst team in basketball.

Same goes for us this year, we could be on fire and beat Nova, then turn around and be cold and lose to DePaul.  If we beat Nova it doesn't make us a top 10 team, it means we were hot at the right time.

Who are the other 2?  VPI has the 340th ranked non-conference schedule, I find that hard to believe if they played and beat two top 10 teams.

Got it.  Thanks, was very confused.  Thought work related stress had finally had me living in an alternate reality.

Kudo's to Buzz. Best way not to have Buzz threads is for MU to knock off some top ten teams and they will have some chances.

The man can coach.   Of course, Duke kind of 'kicked' this one away.    Also, I was watching Duke defensively, in the context of comparing their defense to MU's.   Young and long, but many of the same problems. 
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

  Their defense is outstanding and they rebound well. That's the main reason they could be a top 10 team. We shall see.

He is earning it. Went to a program that was a mess and has them competing big time. Buzz gave us a few fun seasons.
