For that tweet to hold up, the games in action need to swing mostly in the other direction.

Picked up solid road wins by LA Tech and UAB respectively over Kenpom top 100 teams Santa Clara and Saint Louis :+1:

See that AK was aware of what the Blazers could - and did - accomplish vs the Billikens:

FWIW, North Texas had planned on playing a D-I opponent today:

Steady eddy. Mr. Reliable. When you look for Charlotte on the rankings just go straight to 200 and start skimming.

Shame on AK for scheduling D-III Millsaps College of Jackson, MS. Of course, the Majors almost scored as many points as Villanova did today vs Baylor :wink:

Watched them easily handle Ole Miss the other night.

Sharp is a game changer. You’d better be able to shoot from outside, because he patrols the middle so well. He’s huge and he has an even longer reach.

The announcer team talked about him being lightly recruited cause he was skinny. Big miss for a lot of programs if true.

It’s funny…growing up in the 80’s-90’s when I hear Kenny Lofton I think of the skrawny leadoff hitter from the Indians/Braves Championship runs.

Then…I see this Kenneth Lofton and he looks like he ate the other Kenny Lofton…and a side of fries…and a couple of milkshakes.

Does not look like a basketball player…especially not one that is in the hunt for Conference POY.

Reminds me of Tractor Trailer from Michigan or Oliver Miller from Arkansas back in the day.

Lofton probably going to have to slim down if he expects to be the next Bulldog in the NBA. His draft stock definitely shot up this past summer after his performance with Team USA at the FIBA U-19 World Cup in Latvia.

Man, games in all sports are getting canceled left and right. We better enjoy every game we get to see.

Yeah. I’ve seen this movie before. I expect games to be canceled/postponed in bunches soon.

If lots of our basketball games are cancelled, expect to see no movement on “Fire Ron” for better or for worse.

That would be the worst possible outcome.
