The Definition of Classless

[Big D]

everyone can see that you know you are wrong and are just trying to change the subject.  Answer the question.  WHY SHOULD THE HL ADD EVANSVILLE OVER ANY OF THE FOUR TEAMS I MENTIONED ABOVE? 

Well, I'll let Evansville do my talking for me on Saturday, Big D.

Way to go out on a limb picking the outcome of that game.         It's not like the outcome would have been different if our top 2 players were not sitting out with injuries.

Oh, boo hoo!

Youngstown's Kendrick Perry is out with an injury and Damian Eargle has been limited by injury recently. Yet, YSU won their bracketbuster game. Are you now scared of lowly Evansville joining the HL because they have beaten the Raiders and that puts the fear in you because that's another team that will be getting a higher seed in the HL tournament than WSU?

come on, BigD, if you had said that BEFORE the game, then you're understandably hedging your bet. 
AFTER it you just look like a whiner, like if somehow instead you'd have pulled off the win you'd be crowing your head off, but...REALITY

While I don't want to increase their confidence, I would like to see Detroit win this game.  Not often that Temple loses at home and with their higher RPI would be a great win for the conference. Having to work hard for the win would also deaden the legs of Detroit for Saturday's conference game.

[FWalum]

Detroit has about as much energy in the second half of this Temple game as a Dollar Store battery.  They are getting beat to every 50/50 ball and not running the floor at all.

Detroit is tied with 7 minutes to go.  I will always support every HL team (even Detroit) against any and every OOC opponent.  Conference loyalty!  Go Titans!

[FWalum]

Their defensive rotation has been HORRIBLE.  They constantly seem to have 2 guys running at the 3 point shoot at the top of the key only to leave the corner 3 shooter WIDE open.  What the %#&*.... They should be up by ten instead of only up 3.  Go Detroit, beat the A10

Detroit up 5 with 2:20 to go and Wyatt scores 12 points.  Detroit goes down in flames.  I don't know that I can blame Sr. for this one, just a lot of horrible decision making and lack of hustle by the players both on offense and defense.

A lack of hustle???  They are exhausted.  They just played 3 games in 6 days.  2 of which where on the road.  They don't have a bench, players are playing 37+ minutes.  It was due to. 

[VULB#62]

The Pavilion is almost a sell-out based on what I saw for available tickets, so tomorrow, DUM will see another packed house, but their #2 is secure and the best they can do is a conference tie which, aside from a banner, does not buy them anything. They probably flew back to Detroit late last night and will bus to Chicago today. Dozen donuts says, that despite the crowd, they pretty much mail it in - their legs are shot.

[agibson]

Impressive, anyway, to be tied, on the road, with 1m30 to play at a school that's in the top 1/3 of the A16.

Not bad, but Temple is only ranked 56th in the Sagarins while we are ranked 76th and Detroit 85th.  I t would have been a nice win nonetheless.

That would have been a very nice road win.  Temple is currently #39 in RPI and showing up as a 10 to 12 seed in most mock brackets.  Detroit was in control until the final two minutes.

[VULB#62]

It was clear that they matched up athletically.  They are good.  It'll take a heck of an effort for us to beat them in the HLT.  And Junior is only a junior. He'll be, hands down, the face of the HL next year as much as I hate to say it.  That will be big for HL exposure.  And they lose "only" Minerath and Anderson with 6th man Bruinsma moving into a starting role.  They need to find that 5th starter.  Any word on the recruiting class? 

Totally off the mark.  But only 1300+ attended senior night there?  So sad.  If I were looking to invite a school into my league, that kind of environment would turn me off and I'd look for a school that was more gung-ho.

[LaPorteAveApostle]

Carlton Brundidge, who was one of UM's incoming frosh with Trey Burke, left after his freshman year and is sitting out currently.  He'll be eligible next year, so they'll have someone to plug in if Jr. leaves, and for Calliste in any case.

McCallum-Brundidge-Bruinsma-Howard Jr-Wilson or Lippert...a good lineup regardless of recruits.

well...if McCallum comes back they'll be formidable, but if not, meh.

[VULB#62]

His Dad and the league need one more year from Junior, dont'cha think?

[oklahomamick]

Is Calliste trying to leave for the draft after this year? 

[LaPorteAveApostle]

i'd say he needs to worry more about avoiding the Draft, but since he's a senior, well, yeah.

DUM BB website has him as redshirt junior.

That was their worst attendance of the season - winter weather; rain and sleet in the morning and afternoon forming a layer of ice, topped with 5-8" snow. Based on their typical draw for big games you would have anticipated 3000-3500 or so.
