We clocked in at a robust #142 in the NCAA's 1st NET rankings update that just hit today.

Its only day 4 of 2021 and I'm already sorta fondly remembering the halcyon days of 2020.

I think we currently count as a Q3 loss for Furman. This time next week UC could be a Q4 game for every team we play on the road.

Let that sink in....

Looks like we have bragging rights over our friends down I75

Serious question

What works best for you

1) Blue Pill
2) UC Basketball loss
3) looking at the picture of you and Mick?

You are giddy after UC losses like a teenage girl

It’s clear you are a Mick Cronin fan and not a UC basketball fan
Save the bull**** about about how many games you have been to

You constantly bashed Huggins and took joy in his losses

How many sabbaticals did you have to take during Mick’s run because posters were questioning him

I hope I never get to the point like you where I root agains UC

You are the JustinHub of this board

Goodness. You are too knowledgeable and too good a guy to become the guy on sports message boards who makes it personal and attacks other posters when you are upset and don’t like what they post. Please take at it as the constructive criticism it’s intended to be.

You have turned into the same poster who drove you away because you got tired of the constant criticism of Mick

I am not sure if it’s your payback for people that made this board unbearable for you to read during Mick’s time

Hmm.

I’m not mad at you so I’ll save the sword play. You do you. If you’d like to attack any thing factually incorrect about my original post, please feel free.

I was wrong to attack you

The constant negativity from you and others towards Brannen and the basketball team gets old

If one of the mods could Deactivate my account I would appreciate it
I didn’t see an option

For the record you are a much funnier than JustinHub

All good man. Nobody is pleased right now. We all just have differing opinions about why that is and what the future may hold. We all want the same thing or we wouldn’t be on here.

Nope, sorry. It’s like the mafia around here. You’re in for life. Don’t even think about bailing.

Check out the ignore function if you need it. But this is Hotel California.

Well, there is a request form that needs into be signed in triplicate in the blood of a New Zealand rabbit and submitted to Mark’s office for debate among the cabal. No sign on his building...you’ll know him because he has an uncanny resemblance to Raymond Reddington.

At least our ratings in Sagarin and Kenpom are holding up quite a bit better.

Laughable at best. It’s not constructive, it’s just typical you taking shots. There is a reason you have a bad rap, and it’s not fake news, it’s just you being you.

This thread is getting better and better.

I think we're all just frustrated. I know I didn't foresee them being where they are now.

So I just saw that Colgate was 16th in the first released rankings yesterday at 1-1. They didn’t play last night. In today’s rankings they’re 46th. No wonder they won’t release the “formula”.

Laugh if you want, but I truly think that playing in an empty arena is affecting the performance.

I think momentum is a tangible thing and we can't get any right now. A home crowd cheering you on does something for a team.

Does it fix 2-6? Hard to say. But I definitely think most of this team's problems are from the neck up.

Eastern Washington is 1-4 and their sole win is against something called The College of Idaho and they are 32 spots higher than UC in NET.

Finally winning a game last night jumped UC 20 spots in the NET to 122. For the NET, a 20 spot move in just one game is crazy. Beat Wichita on the road Sunday and it could be a 40 point improvement in just a week. And FWIW, Wichita is probably a better matchup for UC than SMU was.
