They really underachieved under him until halfway through last season. 

 

Agree they didn't really put it together until mid-last season, but the year prior they lost EC Matthews for the season in the opener so that screwed them big time.

 

14 straight!

Sold out per Mark Gaughan's tweet, too.

And they saw a great game. WMU has a kid named Thomas Wilder who scored 34. He's a borderline NBA prospect and he was dominating. But UB has great players up and down it's roster and every time Wilder got the Broncos close, someone on UB, Perkins, Massenburg, Clark or Harris would answer.

From a Bona point of view, we want Rhody to just keep winning (until they come to the RC, of course)...........We need a top 4 seed for the A10 tourney, so them beating VCU really helped.

So great. 

 

To be fair, they are NOT an easy out. My Xavier team played them at their place recently. X was 19-3 and ranked #6 in the country with and RPI of 3. St Johns was 0-10 in the BE at the time. Vegas only had X as only a 4 point favorite, and they won by 5. 

 

But..............Duke just lost to a team who was 0-11 in their conference!!!    :P

St Johns is 0-11 in the Big East.....and they just beat Duke. It is a glorious day!  

 

Let me guess....they'll get an at large bid to the tournament over some 25 win team from a 'non power 5' conference.   <_<

I don’t care!!! DOOK lost to a team 0-11 in the BE!   :P

 

Full disclosure, we are a UNC family. My kids went to UNC hoops camp for 7-8 years running. We’d visit Cameron Indoor, which was open all the time (very cool), but the allegiance is toward UNC, and I hate arrogance.

Oh don't get me wrong, seeing Duke lose is always a pleasure.  I'm just gearing up early for the annual bullshi-- where they put 9 teams from the ACC or Big 10 into the tourney.

I say 9 from the ACC or Big 10 is a travesty! But 7 from the BE is about right.  :)

Nice win last night @Augie Only saw the highlights on SVP.

 

Got me to thinking..better rivalry

 

Richmond-VCU

 

Xavier-Cinci

 

Has to be Richmond VCU:P

 

That is is tonight, but not till 9PM. That sucks. But of they want a 9PM game, they force me to bring in Jack or else I will be sleeping by halftime. Lord i love college hoops, but damn I hate no beer:thumbdown::beer:

SPIDERS!!!

 

I know it means little outside of Richmond, but Spiders swept VCU this year. Kinda a David vs Goliath situation, and even in a year where neither is likely to make the tourney, this brings joy to my heart!

 

BTW, it was a Beam me up Scotty night, too cheap to pass up!

Tied with the Bonnies...........I'll be there Saturday when they show down in a sold out Reilly Center (it's both Homecoming and 80s Weekend).  It's going to be nuts.

Weird game last night, especially for Golden. He was playing better( he was awful on Saturday vs Mason) , but made a boneheaded TO with about 8 minutes to go and did not get off the bench till last seconds of the game. Mooney said  Golden was so upset with himself after the with the TO he just wanted to give him a few minutes to calm down, but that was when the Spiders started their run, so he sat till the end.

 

Buckingham went down last night, thought it was just cramps at first, but he could not walk off on own power. He was suspended for the Mason game, and it hurt. Will be a story heading into Saturday.

Bonnies need to run the table for a chance at an at large.  Yes that means beating Rhode Island @ the RC.  Anything short of that or winning the conference tournament in March & it is NIT for Bonnie.  I would love to see Bonnie get in.  I think they could do some damage if they get in & get a good draw & they are one of the most exciting teams in the country imo.  Watched the Bonnie/Dukes game Saturday, what a great game that was.
