Wingman This week’s games are at home as we host Stetson and FGCU. The meeting with Stetson could be a really good one. Both teams have veteran point guards (Burden and Swenson) who average more than 6 assist a game and can score. The student will be back and I am hoping to have a packed house for this important early season matchup.
bb_fan Stadium has Stetson as the sole ASun team in the NCAA Tourney as a 16 seed play-in game against St. Peters.
Wingman bb_fan I know it’s too early to discuss seriously but putting the ASUN champ in the play in game would be an insult to the conference. However, I think Stetson is thrilled to be in the conversation. They have been playing intercollegiate basketball since 1900 and NCAA D1 since the 1970’s and they have never been to an NCAA championship or NIT.
Kmase14 bb_fan bb_fan surprised some reporters rank the ASUN so low. But obviously a long way to go. If KSU, Lipscomb, or another team wins the conference and someone comes out of nowhere and wins the tourney I guess I could see it. But there will be plenty of upsets in other conference tourneys.
Wingman ESPN has Stetson as a 15 seed playing Arizona. Tonight’s matchup will determine who rules the early season hypotheticals.
Wingman Nice decisive win for the Owls against Stetson. We shot better than our average and Stetson shot worse than theirs, thanks to our defense. Robinson was the Owls’ high scorer but I would have fed him down low even more. The Hatters had no answer for him.
Kmase14 Holt got the most minutes last night. I know it was a big night for King and Demond and Burden with how he was playing through some sickness. But Holt's defense is elite and his shot when he puts it up looks like an elite shooter. His defense can go unnoticed in the flow of the game. I don't know what y'all think but it looks like Pettway sees the sky is the limit for Holt. There were a few times last night I thought he was coming out and Pettway was talking to him on the sideline going into the huddle and he kept him out there. The starting lineup last night feels like our best starting 5 this season.
Wingman KSU beat Stetson Stetson beat UCF UCF beat #3 Kansas I expect to see KSU ranked in the top 25 - LOL
HootyHooKSU Wingman we can take this even further next week...UConn may very well be ranked number 1 come Monday. And Kansas beat UConn.
bb_fan I don't believe in the mythical 3 point home court advantage, but if you do... KSU beat Queens at home by 3; thus the teams are equal on a neutral court Queens beat FGCU at home by 3; thus the teams are equal on a neutral court Which means... KSU are FGCU are equal on a neutral court Therefore... KSU at home beats FGCU by 3 on Friday
Wingman bb_fan As much as I like a sports discussion that reads like a mathematical proof, FGCU is hard to predict. FGCU was forced into overtime by a cupcake and on the next game knocked off a highly ranked FAU team. Who does that?
bb_fan KSU wins by 3. 🙂 FGCU had this game won, and then played the last 15 seconds about as bad as anyone possibly could.
