Watching and rooting for Temple for our NET.

[Arizona Knight]

I can’t be the only one. I love hoops season. I always did but it was such a skull dragging before Pike in the B1G and previously. Now that we are good it’s a passion again. Something to look forward to without pending doom hovering over your head.

Just saw the Illinois Texas box score... Marcus Carr is still in college

 

[IL Lusciato]

I watch much more college hoops these days. I especially like big ten games. Actually checked BTN tonight just to see if a game would be on to flip between that and the Devils. Butnits a MSU classic. What network is Temple on?

 

[Arizona Knight]

ESPNU

Illinois is really talented, but man, they do not play as a team. Maybe it's just this game, but this has been just selfish, me first basketball. Glad Pike's our coach.

 

[BillyC80]

Temple wins, 70-60.

 

[RUChoppin]

Illinois fights back to go to OT.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

Double checked birthdays, and Caleb is older than Carr by around 5 months. Both were born in 1999, Caleb on January 3 and Carr on June 6.

But it certainly feels like Carr has been around forever, and this is his third school.

Great comeback win for Illinois

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Illinois wins!

In other news, New Hampshire knocks off Boston college on their home floor in OT. Should provide a nice little boost to Columbia’s NET.

Can JMU steal one from UVA?

I actually turned it on when I saw it was in OT and immediately turned it off because BC was up 71-66 with two minutes left. Lol that they ended up losing 74-71.

UVA holds on

 

[bowlgoal]

Temple will finish strong. We win that game at full strength but they are a good team.

I think the multiple schools makes it seem that way.

Going to be tough for Temple to pull their NET up in the short term. December's schedule is full of teams with NETs of 200 and above.

229 Penn
66 Ole Miss
307 MD-Eastern Shore
206 East Carolina

They have a Quad 4 loss to Wagner and that isnt going away

Still, part of the formula is efficiency and scoring margin. If they can beat these teams by 10 for more and put up good, offensive and defensive efficiency numbers, they may make some small gains. Every little bit helps.

Also Nova even if they will have a down year figures to move up closer to 100 or inside the top 100..right now i think 155

Its the real sporting issue with the NET. Having to want to crush your rivals today and then root for them tomorrow. Hard to do with for the SHUs and PSUs of the world.

I generally don't have a problem rooting for SHU in most other games, unless it's against a B1G school or if a SHU win would negatively impact our seeding.

I can’t say I feel the same way

 

[RUChoppin]

I can’t say I feel the same way

I'd rather SHU be a Q1/Q2 game, and for both of us to be good. Makes our games more meaningful and juiced, especially since they no longer matter for conference seeding.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't break my heart when they lose, and I get a good chuckle when they get embarrassed, but on the balance I'd rather they be a competitive program overall.

Sounds like you do feel the same way as me.

Agreed. There’s some recruiting overlap, but Seton Hall generally appeals to different types of kids. I think a competitive rivalry is better for both schools. I’d rather them be decent.

Happy for Syracuse and Boston College to continue to fall apart.
