I might just as well ask you why you bother to post "Ho Hum" about a game in which a player broke an all-time NCAA shooting record. A fan who has no trouble watching JMU basketball has a lot of nerve dissing USF, or any team for that matter. UConn played a near perfect half at both ends of the court. A masterpiece performance against a good team.
But any chance at trolling a UConn thread, right?

| If WBB State is accurate, Katie Lou going into the Big Dance is now third in the country in 3FG made with 110, behind Tori Jankoska's (Michigan St.) 119 and Darby Maggard's (Belmont) 111. Are those two players going dancing? |

yeah, but they won't be dancing nearly as long.

I couldn't possibly explain to someone from the exalted UConn fandom what it's like to become a mid-major fan after being a Tennessee fan for many years. It is, to coin a phrase, a whole different ballgame, one you probably wouldn't understand in the least.
I'm very happy for y'all that your dear Lou broke a record. I'm not at all interested in the results of your tournament massacre, which was a foregone conclusion and what was to me extremely boring and a game I wouldn't bother to watch because, as I said before, I don't do massacres.
As for RPI, I just think it's overrated. That's all. SoS is a little more important, at least to my way of thinking and to that of a whole lot of other folks.

A team can have a #1 SOS and go 0-30.
I have no problem with your dislike of one-sided games and I'm not suggesting where you should post but don't bull shit me. You are trolling this thread. There have probably been 100+ one-sided game threads on this board but the only ones you post HO HUM or it's equivalent are the games that involve UConn.

SoS doesn't tell you anything about what a team did with that tough schedule. Minnesota has a top 10 SoS. They're still not very good. Washington State has a strong SoS. They went 12-19. It doesn't take any great skill to schedule games you can't win.

| Good to see you around, acsuc99. |
Thanks Glenn! I am glad to be reunited here with you and CTH whose posts I look forward to regularly. The regular season is too long, starts too early, and I just can't get excited over the AAC opponents so I hibernate from like Dec-March now. But now the real season begins! |
Nov & Dec are MUST see now. Hiberate jan & feb but be sure to poke your head out in early Feb to check for a SCarolina game!

If you're not at all interested in the results of our tournament massacre, it begs the question.... Why are you here?
