Week of 11/25 Games & News Thread
- Status
While watching Memphis - Auburn game, I can't help my stomach from turning as the announcers keep praises the graces of what a great coach Pearl is. Was it before their time or it doesn't matter what a cheating lying rules bending piece a @&#% that he actually was - is?
Loved Amani and was sorry to see him leave. But the truth....IMHO...is that this Illini team would have been much better with Harris and DD available. I would even have started Harris if that was necessary. He just gives his whole team a burst of energy that does not go away. And DD would have given this team 3 very competitive bigs, each with his own elite skill set and able to contribute a lot more than Butler and Booth.

Iowa is not in a great spot right now (LvilleILL1)

Now I will say that regarding the Atlantis tournament, as long as the lighting on the court is fine it really doesn't matter what the lighting is like in the bleachers. The on-court lighting seems to be OK even if the off-court lighting looks like there should be a foam machine and a bass-heavy DJ as part of the ambience.

If only they had got some calls from the refs.
There's zero chance IMHO they stay ranked if they lose 3 games in a week to unranked teams.
Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but see much of a chance of them losing today either.

Better than Juwan.
And I'm not just hating on him. The product on the court looks better coached/managed than during Howard's failed tenure.
Tournament team, they have some players but I think turnovers will always be a problem. Wolf is the key to that team
It's a small community Rec Gym & event area for the most part. There's no demand for a solo Collegiate level gym off Oahu.

I'm very confused.
Pittsburgh in "week 3" (last week) had 9 votes and finished 37th. In this week's rankings it is 62 votes and they're 27th.
Within that time-frame, all that transpired was them losing to Wisconsin. Soooo, they get a 10 spot jump for losing? Do I got something wrong?
Right - Which is why I said there is no demand off Oahu....(Outside of this 1 weekend event). Hence this being a Community Civic Center for multi-purpose.

Ducks seem to be playing pretty good D in November, that's nice to see. Usually they start getting nasty on D in late January. Question is the offensive side, not that impressive at this point. I'll be interested in seeing how Dana manages this team.

Off Oahu could be anywhere. Just weird phrasing.
My bad.
I guess it might just be a "you played Wisconsin close that's why" thing? But by history, that's never been how the AP works. And it's one thing if it's a few spots...but from 9 votes to 62? 10 spots? and over us? for losing?

Guys, maybe take another look at the schedule...
Week 3 rankings released Nov. 18. Later that day Pitt beat VMI by 45. Then on Friday Nov 22 they beat a previously undefeated LSU. Then on Nov. 22 they lose to an undefeated Wisconson to fall to 6-1. So they went 2-1 in the week, and their loss was not one that would have really hurt them too badly. That doesn't seem unreasonable for picking up some votes.
