Minnesota - Temple on ESPNU right now

[Greene Rice FIG]

I have the game on at work. I would like to think we can beat Minnesota in 1 of our 2 games.

They play pretty small with all 5 of guys a threat from 3. In fact their best threat is the 5, 6'9'' King.

They take possessions off but have talent at the guard position.

Where is FR Trey Lowe from. i thought I heard commentators mentioned RU with him.

Lowe's the kid from Ewing who considered attending RU. St. Joe's and Seton Hall were high on his list, too.

George mason - Ole Miss on and i saw Otis Livingston playing for George Mason who i saw play in HS 8 months ago.

Watched some of Illinois-Providence. Great game between two teams that have a chance to be good this year. I was watching that game and had a random thought: when Boeheim retires, do you think Ed Cooley goes to Cuse?

ill 1-2 with win over lowly North Dakota State......wait kenpom has ND St. ranked #83. How is that possible, but wait there is more... South dakota St. is #92.

I can only go on how they looked last night against a good team. I don't really look at the Ken Pom stuff this early in the year anyway. I trust my eyeballs.

Waaayyy, waaaayyy too early to use KenPom. 75% of the data at this point in the season is based on last year. KenPom data starts to have predictive ability after about 8-10 games.

Better than nothing.

They use something to predict early. Probably looking at last year and taking out seniors.
