Kalkbrenner ankle may not play for Creighton against Hogs

[GoldenEagles03]

Somebody in here picked this team to win like 23 or 24 games in the preseason predictions.  They have absolutely no shot at that.

[Billy Hoyle]

It just an instinct but I could be wrong.

A lot of that is gone with NIL, and there are serious dollars to be permissibly thrown around in Fayetteville.

[Billy Hoyle]

St John's with a nice win against a solid Temple team to go to 4-0. They now have a legit post threat in Joel Soriano, averaging 13 and 12. Much more balanced offensively this season.

Please provide us with some evidence, proof, etc. along with your comments.  Just because the team, which has been great since Musselman arrived, has elevated its recruitment does not mean it smells of impropriety.  It is a scoop thing at times, as others have used the word "squirmy" when a team excels, so must be a cheating thing.  Musselman is a great coach and recruiter.

People are saying that Muss is on steroids.

...but not so much in Milwaukee.

Syracuse 3-1 at The Johnnies 5-0

Rooting for The Johnnies to keep their winning streak going. Will help The Big East.

We've done this before, and we can do it again.  Even before NIL...

Muss has been an INCREDIBLE coach his entire career, at all levels.

CBA: 70% Winnning percentage over 7 seasons starting at age 24, all before he was 32.  His "worst" years were due to losing players to NBA call ups.

USBL: 95% winning percentage over 2 seasons.

G League: 72% winning percentage over 2 seasons, including coach of the year and the best record in league history at the time.

NBA: 44% winning percentage, with 2 of the worst franchises in the NBA at the time.  The fact that he guided any of those teams over 30 wins was remarkable.

NCAA (pre-Arkansas): 76% winning percentage, 3 straight conference titles, S16 at a program that had been 36-58 the previous 3 seasons and hadn't been to the NCAAs in a decade.  Also brought in 4 of the top 5 highest rated recruits in program history including a top 20 MCD AA.

His bona fides are WELL established.  He is one of the best pure coaches in America.  Plus he recruits well.  He stocked those Nevada teams with great transfers to get them scaled up in a hurry.  Now at a historic program with big resources in a big basketball conference, of course he's killing it.

[GoldenEagles03]

Creighton is getting an insanely friendly whistle. Haven't seen a whistle this one-sided in some time. Good for the Big East!

Blue Jays get a lot of production out of their starters

Yep. He's an even better coach than his dad was, and Bill was a great coach.

Big win for Creighton over The Hogs. Blue Jays had 3 starters over 20 points .

Arkansas played without their best player.  I'm sure they'll be a major factor down the road.  Might even get a rematch.  The committee loves the potential for rematches in March.

Do they?

[GoldenEagles03]

Do they?

Yes. They often pair prior opponents in the same region.

[wadesworld]

Yes. They often pair prior opponents in the same region.

Well yeah. It's impossible to avoid putting teams that have played each other in the same region.

St. John's 6-0 after cleaning up Syracuse.

[MuggsyB]

Thanks to St. John's.  Oh....and thank you Colgate.

St. John's 6-0 after cleaning up Syracuse.

Another double double for Soriano. Curbelo is playing under control. Last year after six games he was 6/32 from three, this season he's 6/11. Jones has been a stud too averaging 17 and 8. DePaul's loss. They are a very strong team.

2 BE losses

[zcg2013]

Jones still make very bad decisions and that will be something to watch. After hitting a 3 two go up two possessions with under a minute left in OT, Johnnies got a steal and Jones threw up an ugly heat check and you can see Anderson just screaming at him from the sidelines.

Yikes.

Yikes.

Georgetown was once up 13. AU just took the lead at the 12 minute time out.

DFW,

You are a trooper and level headed.  I hope GU basketball is back to its upper echelon status sooner rather than later.
