Two biggest games from that list are Duke v. Davidson and Indiana v. Southern
Illinois. Iâll pull for Davidson and Southern Illinois, but of course either one
will be mad if they lose and then come to Charlotte.
USC Upstate (0-6) at Wake Forest (4-1), 1:00
USC Upstate??? Maybe Wake was looking past us for this game.

I swore they played SEC this week, being USC-Cola and Vandy I think it was⌠hmmmm
Chevee, Wake Forest plays at Vanderbilt on Wednesday and at Georgia next Saturday.
The Vandy game is part of a new rivalry with âlike schools.â Vandy and WFU played the first football game last week of a 10-game series. With the exception of a break next season, the teams will play a home-and-home series the Saturday after Thanksgiving for the next 9 years. They will also compete in other sports too.
It wonât do much for fans, but the ACC-SEC connections will help over the years for both programs.

Our former assistant Orlando Early, who is the HC at Lous-Monroe, won big this weekend.
He beat Iowa and Rice, to win the Iowa tournament. He is like only the 2nd school to win that tournament, that was not Iowa, in 50 years !
He is also coming off last year, winning his Sun Belt division, and it was their first year in the Sun Belt, after moving up from some other conference.

Iâve always liked Early, ever since he was our top assistant. The guy can coach.

I caught the 2nd half of that game. Note to all schools: DO NOT accept an invitation to the Drake Invitational Tournament. There was some major home-cooking going on. It was impossible not to have the impression that they were going to hand Drake the championship trophy to their own tournament - no matter what.
The announcing crew were jovial sorts and they were laughing the whole time. Most of the time, they couldnât even explain what was happening at any given moment. There was a technical on Duquesne Coach Everhart that left them puzzled - they said he was Tâed up for ânot-saying-anything-while-remaining-in-the-coaches-boxâ. Drake was up two late, and those free throws were important.
I listened to the post game and the announcers went through many of the more questionable calls. Everhart explained that the technical was given to him after he got surprised by one of his players running the wrong direction on a route and getting caught out of position. He[B][I] stood up too quickly[/I][/B], so the refs Tâed him up. Iâm dead serious.
It sure would be nice if we could do away with home cooking in college sports. Why canât the refs call a game even? What keeps that from happening? Is there an unwritten rule that the home team should get some calls, with the usual caveats for the BCS schools? Is the game really better with this home advantage? I wonder if this sort of thing is institutionalized to keep the home crowds happy and paying.
I spent some time up in Madison and got to see quite a few Wisconsin games when they started getting good. The homecourt advantage there rivals Dukeâs. It was the main reason Wisconsin had such a long unbeaten streak there, phantom foul call one after another on the other team always kept their best players in foul trouble, while Wisconsin played âgreat defenseâ by getting away with grabbing and hacking the visitors. Funny how their defense wasnât nearly so great away from home.

Isnât Kedric Smith one of his assistants down there??
Isn't Kedric Smith one of his assistants down there??He's listed as an intern. He really looks different from his playing days. Kind of like if Barry Bonds head now suddenly shrunk to how it looked when he was 22.
Tom Coverdale is also one of his assistants. I hated him.
I think you will see Early moving up pretty soon, apparently he is thought very highly of.

Travis Fordâs road OOC scheduling has really perplexed me since he became HC at UMass. Why schedule the Summit League preseason favorite on THEIR home court? [That is right up there with playing road games at Jacksonville State and Savannah State last season.] Of course, the fact that the Minutemen led 43-32 at the half, then let the Jags score 57 points in the final 20 minutes doesnât bode well either.
