Conference / Non Conference opponent tracker 25-26

Least we didn't end up losing tonight like Richmond to Charleston Southern. Richmond was 13.5 point favorites and lost by 5, 78-72.

Caught looking ahead to the A-10 opener vs GWU?

No. They just suck.

Guess Tony was right, no one is playing defense. 55-53 at the half.

St. Louis is a paper tiger. That NET is based upon beating lousy teams by large margins. They played 0 Quad 1 games and were just 1-1 in Quad 2 games with no P5 wins (they only played one P5 and lost that one). The Selection Committee is going to look at that OOC schedule and move on to the next team.

114-97 final score

114-97 final score

That’s an NBA scoreline in 8 fewer minutes

Not really sure where to put this but as we end the non conference our OOC SOS was 345 out of 365. We lost our only game against a top 100 opponent (Tech, ranked 63).

This absolutely has to be a priority to vastly improve next season.

 

[GMU1983]

What a disaster A 10 cannibalizes itself every year Loyola beating URI...bad for A10 again!!

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Virginia Tech up by 1 point in Double OT against #21 Virginia

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Virginia Tech up by 1 point in Double OT against #23 Virginia

Now in TRIPLE Overtime!

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Tech takes it in TRIPLE overtime 95-85

Hansberry from Tech played 53 minutes!

 

[TweederGMU]

GW whooping LaSalle at home, GW wins by 22. They had no answer for Castro.

Loyola was up 10 on Dayton but Dayton down 2 to Loyola Chicago at LC with 3 mins to go. LC just chucking 3's this game hoping to make a bunch and seems to have been working.... 9-30 from 3.

 

[TweederGMU]

Loyola chokes and Dayton wins by 2

Seems like we got some favorable media on USA this weekend. We got 3 of the top 10 plays in the A10 OOC video they put together.

Also during the Richmond/Fordham game today one of the announcers kept talking about GMU. Apparently it was Derek Whitteburg, who was the Fordham coach from 03-09. But he was also a GMU assistant coach during the 86-87 season.

GW at Dayton, 2 pt underdog, down 8, with 4 min left. Flyers are without their center, L'Etang. CBS Sports Network (FIOS 594).
Interesting sidelight--Eric Lewis, husband of VB-L is one of the refs.
