62 pts...right now ties their season low (Miami & CSU).

Wow! WSU is the real deal. And Detroit, once again, gets theirs. They'll be lucky to be 9-7.

Detroit showed us last year they don't need the 1 or 2 seed to sweep through the HL tourney....

talksalot · January 21, 2013, 08:30:12 PM

and this year, the 3 seed gets one bye..so, starting Thursday, I'd like GB to pick things up.

vu72 · January 21, 2013, 09:15:20 PM

So McCallum goes for 8 after getting 6 against us. Sure sounds like a POY to me.

Well, I wasn't talking about the tourney; only the regular season.

But let's look at their tourney run: game one, YSU, 8-man rotation; game two, CSU, 7-man rotation (but effectively 6 because Doug A only managed 4 min); and game three, us, 7-man rotation.

That's all they ever seem to have; McCallum played 111 of 120 min; Calliste 103; Simon 99.

Missing Chase Simon, Eli Holman, LaMarcus Lowe, Donavan (sic) Foster from that rotation; in their places, the return of Minnerath, and Juwan Howard, Jr.

Thin team is thinner, but it doesn't always bother them. Not nearly as much as their lack of discipline...

I thought McCallum look tired down the stretch, and I thought that in Valpo game as well. Hard to imagine why on Saturday he didn't come out until there were 4 minutes left in the game, even though they were up close to 50 the entire second half. Then he plays all 40 minutes tonight. On the most important possession of the night, Arceneaux blew right by him for a layup with the shot clock winding down. They basically played 6 guys tonight in the third game in less than a week. Their starters could have used more rest on Saturday.

LaPorteAveApostle · January 21, 2013, 10:42:46 PM

His dad wanted him to pass Jordan Aaron so he could at least be #1 in the HL in something (% of team's minutes played, 87.9%).

Preseason Awards! Catch the Relevance!

All 5 UDM starters are in the conf. top 26 in min. played. Only Rowdy (#13, 76.3%) and Buggs (#23, 67.3%) are for us, and that's just 'cause Buggs spiked last game (37 min, or 92.5%).

talksalot · January 23, 2013, 10:34:35 PM

One of the hardest things about announcing tonights game was NOT announcing the Explorer win over the Dawgs... But I can laugh inside all I want...

Harder still to fathom... the 35-8 drubbing UIC put on UWM in the second half... and the 'thers had a 42-25 lead at the break! That's gotta hurt.

valpotx · January 24, 2013, 02:30:12 AM

Do they only allow you to mention conference games? That is too bad, a good Butler loss can only make everyone feel better in the HL

It is what it is. The scores of Valpo's opponents during the 2012-13 season. These are the games that directly effect our RPI.

I'd be upset with you guys, but then I realized you've been waiting over two months to celebrate a Butler loss, so enjoy.

bbtds · January 24, 2013, 11:22:05 AM

Of course somebody could start a thread just for Butler losses.

Heh. LaSalle seems to have had an OK season, with a pretty gaudy RPI (now 32). Best previous win... Villanova? Not much success on the road.

Interestingly, you might think (I did) a game like this, it doesn't matter who wins, because we beat the bad team and lost to the betterish one.

HOWEVA it is differently weighted simply because we share a different number of common opponents. IUPUI is a bigger weight on our schedule currently, so it would have been nicer if they won. But, they're IUPUI.

{reinsert rant about playing IUPUI when beating them is more than twice the negative factor of losing to Oakland}

OF the Saturday games... taking a look at the BBuster home-team Rippies, the way it looks to me, Murray State and Northern Iowa can pass us with wins on Saturday. There are 7 teams within 15 ranking-positions in the mid-80s/low 90s. The others around us are all playing lower rated teams... We are #7 right now, and Loyola MD is #7 road team... Go Greyhound, and leave the Driving to US!
