And ladies, they're in a tough one

the color commentator in women's game has terrible grammar: has ran, more smooth. women look off today except for V Vivians

Its fun to be somewhat excited about basketball again. Sort of taking the thread a different direction, but what's the best RPI website to look at these days? I haven't had a reason to look at one in a long time and don't remember anymore.

warrennolan...

The best overall gauge is the kenpom ratings. Unreal how often you see "cinderella" teams in the tournament that his formula basically accurately predicted on the front end.

One of them noted that having a good women's basketball team was important to Starkville cause there were a lot of State fans there, you thing so?

We are -9.5 today versus Dayton. We will lose at Cincinnati next week. They are a top 10 team, but it will be good for RPI and strength of schedule. We have a chance to have a nice record entering SEC play.

Dayton is 3-3 and lost to Auburn. We should pull that one out with Peters back tonight.

Cincy is always tough.

Girls had a valuable win today. Their defense was awful and Vick was pissed. They will be working on that the next few practices I bet.

 

[KurtRambis4]

We are going to

need the team to shoot like they did the other night (or at least Tyson), and hope Peters' presence doesn't throw us off.

An interesting piece from that game at Cincinnati

We are actually playing them at Northern Kentucky University - but will get credit for a road game. Their games at NKU have not been attended very well.

Might be a chance to steal one.

 

[615dawg]

WarrenNolan is the best.

His rating has us at 55th right now with a chance at 52nd if we win.

Game after their big rivalry game against Xavier and Florida as well.

Cincy is always tough.

We may well lose at Cincy but Xavier somewhat exposed them yesterday as an undefeated team with a pillow soft schedule, to the tune of they have played two still winless teams and three teams with only one win each. I like them having that little ranking number by their name so if we pull off the win it looks better.

All I’ve been thinking about through the first several games of this season is- how much better would we be with Deron Davis, Garrison Brooks, and Perters with his head screwed on correctly? We’re probably a top 4 team in the league and look like an easy tournement team with that group.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Garry Brooks, alone,

would put us there. He's really good.

Too bad his mom's crazy...and UNC wanted him.

The grammar issues are not surprising but inexcusable. I've heard the same from "big time" ESPN announcers. Do you know who he/she is?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Really good? Maybe we’re seeing different things. Yes, he’s starting for Carolina at the 5 somewhat out of necessity but not exactly lighting it up. Seems to me like he’s having some of the adjustment that comes with not always being the biggest guy on the floor.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah he sux*

Like the other night during the NDSt game, he said North Dakota's coach actually likes to recruit guys that are good shoots also. And yes he said actually as if that was a new coaching philosophy seldom seen since the likes of John Wooden.
