Florida Road Trip at Stetson and FGCU

bb_fan

NCAA NET looks pretty good -- bring on that all Georgia MTE! -- until you note that FGCU is 132 and Stetson is 140. (Liberty is 68 but we don't have to worry about them this week),

093 UGA
144 KSU
155 GT
199 Georgia Southern
244 Georgia State
247 Mercer

bb_fan I'm actually surprised Tech is ahead of Southern. Tech has been awful in ACC play..

A couple of years ago didn't think we'd ever see UGA and KSU being 1/2 in any rankings concerning basketball..

The mid major poll came out for Jan 16. KSU still has 5 votes, Stetson 2, FGCU not mentioned.

Wingman the thing to watch for FGCU is star player Zach Anderson who didn't play last weekend. If he is out this weekend, they are toast

Wingman

KSU leads the all time series with Stetson 18-16. I wonder if there are any other teams we have played more than 5 times in the D1 era and we lead the series?

KingOwlLegacy

Wingman If you go back to 2002-2003 we are abour 7-0 vs. Carver.

Upstate is close to even but we are losing the series. I didnt calculate the d1 totals but I cant imagine were ahead with 4 years of greene and craig

I am hoping that backup PG Simeon Cottle is back for tonight's game. He missed the past 2 contests with a concussion I think

chandler-wright

KingOwlLegacy I talked to him last Saturday and he said he should be cleared for this weekend. His averages don’t look great but his percentages look really good for a freshman sitting behind a guard like burden

KingOwlLegacy

chandler-wright i don't worry about per game right now. He passes the eye test and looks good

bb_fan

Line at 2:00 ranges from KSU +0.5 to KSU +1.5 with the latter being the most prevalent.

Wingman

Wild win against Stetson… it counts the same as the other conference wins.

TMac1325

Wingman I had given up when we went down 6 in OT..Crazy game..

OwlFan

Welp, definitely not happy we blew that big of a lead. But we won, that's what matters.

chandler-wright

I’m happy he won but holy heck what was that 2nd half effort

Wingman

Give us a checkmark for “finding a way to win” but we had some seriously bad plays in the second half. I guess I can pat the team on the back for playing well in the first half and amassing a 16 point lead at halftime making the mountain just high enough that Stetson couldn’t top it.

bb_fan

Wingman I'd say that Stetson found a way to lose.

TMac1325

For the record, any conference road win against even the most average opponent is a good win..

KingOwlLegacy

I think all the physicality and fight took something out of us tonight. This was a battle.

The bounce back Saturday will be interesting vs. a struggling FGCU team that I think we are better than...or at least currently playing much better than.

OwlFan

KingOwlLegacy This was a great battle. I love these types of games.

Incredible win but goodness - why not foul when up 3 in regulation

KingOwlLegacy

OwlsfaninWoodstock probably wouldn't have been smart to foul until it got closer to when he took the shot. When did he actually shoot?

If i was gonna foul, it would be with 5 seconds left or less with no chance of a shooting motion.
