Undefeated Teams Remaining

[Fitbud]

Kansas had a close call at home versus an unranked team and they moved up in the polls. Anyone else thought that was strange?

No not when the only team ahead of them lost, and they beat the #3 team on a neutral floor.

Furman just seems to not be stopping their winning ways. I do think they lose to LSU, however. But 12-0 for a team from the Southern conference that won 23 games last year is great, in my opinion. 2 OOC games left, let's say they beat UNCW and lost to LSU, if they play their conference schedule the same way they did last year, they will finish the regular season at 25-6. Most wins in at least a decade (that's as far as I have time to go back right now lol).

Next week, Buffalo has a tough stretch. Syracuse and Marquette. #25 and #21.

What's funny is LSU has two out of their next 3 games are against undefeated teams. First, they play Houston tonight, then they play Furman next Friday. They will have a great chance to beat Houston and move into the top 25.

Saturday has a bunch of good games. Nova vs. KU, Indiana vs. Butler, Zaga vs. UNC, Cincy vs. Miss St.

For Furman to have a realistic chance of being an at large, assuming a loss to LSU, I think they can only afford 2/3 losses in conference play.

I agree with that.

 

[ericd7633]

I agree with that.

The So Con is really good this year with 5 teams currently in the top 100 of NET. Furman, Wofford, UNCG, ETSU and Samford are all really good teams IMO. Really good relative to what the So Con usually is.

Last year, they only had 4 teams with a winning overall record. Seems like it's gonna be a good conference to keep an eye on this year. I think the last time the conference had a team ranked was when Davidson was in the conference.

Yeah probably the Steph Davidson teams. Either way a great OOC for the conference. I really hope they can get two teams in the tournament.

LSU isn’t looking great. Can’t close out games. It is beyond difficult to watch leads against Florida State and Houston evaporate and turn into losses. With all that recruiting talent, LSU is still just a big bowl of hype.

Really sucks because I think LSU is a talented team, in my opinion. Just can't close out close games against good teams. I fear for them playing their conference schedule.

 

[TechRaiderRider]

I think we make it to Duke with a bagel in the L column, and then find out if we are anything to watch out for.

Then a tough start to conference play with WVU and UT.. We NEVER win in Austin, not even last year with out best team ever.

Abilene Christian (9-1) on Saturday
will be a tough contest -
interestingly, the game will be
at the old Municipal Coliseum -

Guns Up!!

No disrespect to Houston, because I think they are a great program and think highly of them... but if you can’t go into that arena and beat Houston with the lead, how do you go on the road and beat Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida?

It's always been that way for LSU.

They can recruit 5 stars, but they have their eye on the NBA, and you get a bunch of inconsistency and general poor team basketball...

NBA? These guys aren’t playing Develepmental league quality at the moment. And if I hear a commentator say Skylar freaking Mays is our best player in a broadcast I will lose it. Kid isn’t even a quality starter.

To be fair Houston is probably better than Florida and may slso be better right now than Kentucky

9 remaining:

Houston - 10-0 - games this week: 12/20 Utah State
Virginia - 9-0 - games this week: 12/19 South Carolina, 12/22 William & Mary
Kansas - 9-0 - games this week: 12/18 South Dakota, 12/22 Arizona State
Texas Tech - 10-0 - games this week: 12/20 Duke
St. John's - 10-0 - games this week: 12/19 St. Francis (NY), 12/22 Sacred Heart
Michigan - 11-0 - games this week: 12/22 Air Force
Buffalo - 10-0 - games this week: 12/18 Syracuse, 12/21 Marquette
Nevada - 11-0 - games this week: 12/22 Akron
Furman - 12-0 - games this week: 12/21 LSU

I'm predicting this is the week we lose alot of unbeaten teams. I think Texas Tech, Buffalo and Furman all lose this week. Could also see St. Johns losing to St. Francis on Wednesday, but not confident enough to state that as my opinion lol.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I’m hoping we are the team that ends Buffalo’s streak.

Obviously want the win regardless but would be even better if they beat Cuse on Tuesday and come to Milwaukee 11-0.

If Buffalo wins both games this week. Damn, that’s impressive.

 

[rmilia1]

I think Kansas losea this week too ( agree on the other 3). I could also see Akron getting Nevada

Get ready to see the 16th seeded Cavaliers lose tomorrow night.
