Hoopsters best ranked yet, #13 RPI, #45 Sagarin. Games Sat 5PM, Mon 7PM

#11 in RPI on sites that include the game at Charleston (rightly) as a road game instead of neutral. Will take a hit win or lose after Saturday though playing 0-8 and 295 RPI Maryland East Shore. Looking for a similar result to the Stetson game.

UCF took the local fans out of the game early with great defense. Also, tournament tickets are priced high enough, no freebees for students, and not included in season ticket holder packages. That's why the crowd wasn't large. Tourneys are designed for national sports cable channels. Perhaps that's why it's not included as a home game.

I think M East Shore just won a couple days ago.

Their one victory was earlier this week against a non-Division I team, but they have faced among the toughest schedules in the nation and play almost all their OOC games on the road! That's why they are ranked above 5-3 Kent State.

And don't forget that the Knight face always dangerous Penn (who recently gave a good Temple team a lot of trouble) on Monday night. Then it's our toughest remaining OOC challenge, an away game on Thursday at GW (6-4), who just defeated both Temple and USF. Like UCF, they also fell to Villanova earlier.

Huh? ESPN incorrectly lists it as a neutral site game. No other calculation site does this. It was played at the home arena of the opponent, thus a road game. The fact that UCF played great defense doesn't impact the classification of the game.
 
Thank goodness, we have AD back to help bring the ball up, run the offense, and make pressure shots.
So Tank will be back in the starting lineup, and we'll be seeing lots of Nate and Georji again.
Fortunately, most opponents are weaker, but we're much more likely to lose at least one game before conference starts.
 
I can't make tomorrow's game, but saw that the Women are playing at 2pm and is including with the price of the 5pm men's game. Just a fyi.
 
Prof:

Why so concerned? You've said many times that depth doesn't matter in basketball.
I'm not. We're no worse off than two games ago before AD returned from a broken hand.
Of course, you could claim that if everyone got injured and we lost every game by 40 from now on, that proves that more extreme depth problems does matter, so all depth problems matter.

That's right out of the list of logical fallacies -- the one called the "slippery slope" (or red herring) fallacy, e.g., raising the minimum wage to $15/hr is bad because before long they'd raise it to $30 and businesses would all go broke.
