Games Worth Watching

[Gallipoli]

The Alabama at Kentucky game on Jan 12 at 9 PM is worth watching. A Kentucky win will place them in first place in the SEC. Every win by KY helps the Spiders. As much as I hate KY, this year I am pulling for them in every game. This game will be at Rupp arena.

It's now 23 to 22, Bama. If KY wins, the Spiders stock rises.

Good lord, Michigan is....good.

I think you jinxed UK.

I've now watched UK a number of times, and my big takeaway is that they have no capable guard play. Devin Askew really is not good enough yet. He can definitely get there with his talent, but right now he is not good enough for them to be a good team. And BJ Boston's jump shot is atrocious, and his decision-making is worse.

Game of the night is Texas Tech at Texas.

Shaka's doing a good job down in Austin.

So much for relying on Calipari to be a good coach.

Shaka's doing a good job down in Austin.

Mooney schooled Shaka Smart several times in Richmond.

Shaka was 7-4 against Richmond during his time at VCU. In those 11 games, VCU was ranked 5 times. Richmond was not once ranked during those 11 matchups

No Ram fan from the Shaka era ever wants to hear the name Kendall Anthony again!

Go Spiders!

IIRC, Mooney schooled Shaka Smart several times in Richmond.

Big win by Minnesota yesterday. Michigan falls from the undefeated club, which now consists of:
Gonzaga
Baylor
Drake*$
Winthrop^
Siena
Alabama A&M^

*On Pause
$Also undefeated ATS
^Do not play a Top 200 opponent the rest of the season

Honestly I thought this record vs Shaka would be worse. That’s not too bad especially considering VCU was going through their golden era. Now his records vs Capel, Grant, and Wade....I don’t think he beat any of them. 3-3 vs Rhoades.

 

[Gallipoli]

So sad. Duke has dropped out of the top 25. Thanks VT.

Duke drops off AP Top 25 for first time since '16

Gonzaga and Baylor maintained their grip on the top two spots in The Associated Press men's basketball poll, while Duke fell out of the rankings for the first time since 2016.

[SFspidur]

Pretty remarkable stat...

 

[Gallipoli]

Time to play Carolina and Duke.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Houston's pretty dang good, and fun to watch. They have one blemish on their record, a one-point loss at Tulsa.
It seems they "took that personally" - they avenged the loss tonight with a 27-point drubbing that wasn't even that close.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

This WVU/Florida game is really entertaining.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I know we were all hoping to watch the Spiders destroy GMU tonight, but instead of shaking on the couch in the fetal position, turn on ESPN for Baylor @ Texas.

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

It is raining threes in Iowa City.
Hallelujah.

 

[ncspiderfan]

Pacific up by one on Gonzaga at the half

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

What a finish by Michigan. Wow.

 

[Gallipoli]

Loyola has its hands full with Drake in OT.

 

[Gallipoli]

The Spiders are better than both Drake and Loyola

 

[GKiller]

What a finish by Michigan. Wow.

did they have a warm up game?

 

[urmite]

did they have a warm up game?

Yes, the first half...

 

[SouthJerseySpiderFan]

The Spiders are better than both Drake and Loyola

They could be but the problem for Mooney is his team might be worst than Hosftra and LaSalle?
