USC was down 20 at the half.........Won it at the free throw line  27 of 36 ......8-14 for Stanford.

Cardinal made 10-20 threes and shot 50% on 2s....free throws and offensive rebounds did it for SC.

This may be a bit early in the season but...

Calling on brew, tamu, wades and JJJJJJJ.

Given all the losses by top 25 teams. And the parity that we are seeing this year.

Do we want the top 25 teams to keep winning so teams around us/near us are not knocking them off?

Or do we want to keep seeing this wacky upsets daily type season?

I'll try to get an update out tomorrow or Monday, but my thought is this makes it more important for us to go on a bit of a run. Everyone having some good wins means two things to me. First, there will be room at the top for teams to move in. The top four lines will likely be far more fluid. Second, the difference between the 5-line and the bubble will be thin. Whoever ends up on the top two NIT lines will almost certainly be pissed.

I guess it depends on aspirations. If you want to hope Marquette can earn a protected seed, cheer for upsets and a Marquette run. If you just want a bid, cheer for the big boys and hope we get to 8-10 in league or better.

OSU really completed a full circle on the season. Got as high as #5 (not to mention ESPN crowned them CBBs "best" team in the early half of the season when all the #1 teams were losing), and now have dropped 5 of the last 6. Seton Hall should skyrocket in the polls on Monday.

It is too early to know. Personally, I always root for chaos.

Uhhhh, there are some people that would pick option B over option A?

I wouldn't, but some here seem to think we're barely a bubble team, so maybe they just want to get in and play the crapshoot game.

Despite some very shaky free throw shooting down the stretch, NC State just beat Virginia in Chatlottesville.

Virginia is just brutal.

Sam looks asleep on the bench most of the time.

Hopefully next year they are much better because he burnt a year to watch arguably the worst offensive power conference team I've ever seen.

I don’t dislike Sam. I’m sure he had his reasons.

BUT having said that. I very much disagree with you.

I hope they are just as bad or worse next year. Sorry Sam. You made your bed, sleep in it.

Virginia averages 55 points a game.Why would you want to play in that type of offense if the reason you left is you wanted more shots.Diakete is averaging the most shots per game and that is only 10 shots a game.

I wish no ill will toward Sam, and I hope he gets the pro career he wants.

But if Virginia goes 10-20 or 28-2 next season, it doesn't matter to me.

The Scoopers who love the Hausers (for a few of them, sometimes I think more than they love the Warriors) will use a good showing by Virginia next season to rip Wojo even more and crow about how great their beloved buddies are. And the Scoopers who hate the Hausers (people who need to get over it) will use a bad showing by Virginia next season to rag on Sam and/or his family.

In other words, nothing good will come of any Scoop conversation involving Sam/Virginia and/or Joey/MSU next season. But I know we'll have those conversations, anyway ... because it's what we do.

As for the current seasons ... as good a coach as we all know Tony Bennett is, even he seemingly can't stem the tide of a season that has come nowhere close to fulfilling expectations so far. But when you win a natty (among his other fine accomplishments), you earn a lot of slack, and deservedly so.

I agree. I take the jilted lover side of it, however petty it may sound. I want him to pine away for how good things were at Marquette and how he regretted the transfer.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I wish Sam well.  Easily one of my favorite MU players over my 12 seasons of fandom.  He'll do well in his senior season at UVA, though I can't say I give a damn if his team does well or not. 

I hope Joey struggles to find minutes at MSU and gets his waiver denied.  Whiny baby.

I definitely think chaos is better for MU assuming we can get to .500 or better in BE play.  But at the end of the day, we just need to win our games and the rest doesn't matter that much.  8-10 and we're in.  9-9 and we're not worse than a 9 seed.  11-7 and we could find ourselves approaching the 4 seed line.  Its going to be that razor thin.

I think it was type of offense, not volume. Emphasis on passing and off-ball movement vs. more NBA-style ball domination. Obviously both styles can be effective (our offensive efficiency has been excellent the past several years, Virginia won the natty last year), seems more like a personal preference thing. Wish he would have stayed, but he did not, and I would not have changed the overall team style to keep 1 player.

I hope Jamal, Ed, Theo, Chartouney, and Heldt get all the shots the Hausers so desired them to get.

Don’t care how the Hausers do, however. They quit. Not MU’s letter writing problem anymore.

This is almost exactly how I feel about all of it, substituting 12 for 40.  I know I should be more generous, but I feel how I feel.
