Our 18 pt loss at Purdue is going to look very good all year long. They are up on #15 Texas Tech in the Bahamas 81-49 with 2 minutes to play. Update: They won the Baha Mars Championship over #15 Texas Tech 86-56.

Evansville wins by 4. I will forever hate Oregon State. See y'all Monday night vs. either Yale or Charleston.

Oregon State didn't want it.

Oregon State within 2 with 4 minutes to go.

Oregon State needs to get their crap together. I do not want 281 KenPom Evansville on the schedule (Oregon State is 136 for comparison).

Assuming Akron can have at least a decent shooting night, we should wipe the floor with either team on Sunday.

Someone should tell these teams the game started a while ago. This is awful.

I think you misread a lot of things. 😉

Groce knows he has a team that can push the MAC's traditional ceiling when it comes to seeding. Margin of victory matters, hence why we're not dribbling out the clock until the very last possession in these blowouts. Iona was previously 4-1, having beaten Princeton by 20, Fordham, Kansas City, and Hofstra. They just dropped to 176 in KenPom with the loss, but have had a solid start to their 1st season under the new HC. Akron is up to 74 in KenPom and can really start making some moves with likely Oregon State and either Yale or Charleston left in this tournament, plus Milwaukee, Tulane, and Murray State coming up. That was quite the performance despite about 7-10 minutes of less than stellar play. Eric Mahaffey's best game, Young rebounded nicely, Tavari really got everything started, and Evan was all over the place. This team is just so impressive.

Halligan is in.

What a stretch by Eric Mahaffey there. Young is much better this game.

Love that dribble drive layup by Big Stank.

Yale's resume isn't impressive thus far. Their hype is still a carry over from last season, although they will still end up being the class of the Ivy League most likely.

As the AD of a school whose football program is currently experience academic hardship, it's an easy line to throw in to show that academics are still a priority (even if every common-sense-having human being on this earth knows that academics haven't been a priority in revenue-generating athletics for years across the country).

Some thoughts... - Love that Goodrich took the time to craft this letter. Not sure I recall any recent ADs doing something like this. - I do wonder if the importance of the next 8 weeks silently refers more to JoeMo's decision rather than the other categories mentioned. Fundraising is really the only other crucial component to the next 8 weeks. The NCAA has a new 1-window transfer portal from Jan. 2-16 which only means players have to be in the portal by the 16th (recruiting doesn't end on the 16th). Talent hasn't been the issue, at least not nearly as big of an issue as coaching and financials have been. Every school is going through talent overhaul YOY. It comes down to financials and coaching as the key denominators between programs. - I re-read Goodrich's bio. Something that stands out is he negotiated the JMA Wireless Dome naming rights agreement at Syracuse and the Yuengling Center naming rights deal at South Florida. If I'm not mistaken, the football stadium's naming rights deal ends within the next 5 years. I wonder if he'll be here to negotiate another naming rights deal for his resume. That could be a big step in the financial health of the football program.

Troy lost in 3OT to USC on a buzzer beater 3. Edit: I found the highlight. What's worse is Troy should've won but the receiver on the outlet pass lazily attempted to secure the ball. USC stole it with 6 seconds left, passed it up the court with 3 seconds left, and the guy took 2 dribbles before getting the shot off at under .6 seconds. Brutal.

@Z.I.P. 11:30am today for you if I'm not mistaken. You're welcome, you lucky, Hawaii-living son of a nutcracker. 😂

WVU completes the comeback in the 94th minute.

WVU - once down 2-0 in this game - just tied it at 3-3 with 3 minutes left in regulation. Great night of soccer.

UNC advances in PKs. UNC missed one in sudden death, saved the following UNF attempt, made their next attempt, then UNF put one off the crossbar.

The halftime show of the Cuse game said the same thing. Pathetic arrogance.

Injuries aside, his team was incredibly undisciplined Tuesday night.

Notre Dame just took a 1-0 lead 5 minutes into the 2nd half on an own goal header by Michigan.

Touche. Hofstra up 2-0 on Cuse with 18 minutes left in the 1st half. WMU up 1-0 on Clemson with 15 minutes left in the 1st half.

Just sent this to some people who should have answers. I'll report back when I hear back.
