Around College Basketball (non-Big East) 2018/19

OD beat VCU (@ OD- OD was actually favored by 4), but Rutgers with a BIG upset @ Miami (Miami was favored by 11). I'll take it!

Is Miami (OH) a good team?
 
Unimpressive Georgia Tech team. Have to like SJU chances if they avoid habit of often playing down to level of opponent.
 
Georgia tech looking poor but who cares. Rutgers btw is a pretty well-built team. Good size, athleticism and skill. They just ran into the buzz-saw that we can be that day when we are all firing on all cylinders. We have that level that we can play at that rips through god teams easily. Most of the time though, we struggle with seriously inferior opponents..

Xavier was favored by 11 points. No upset!
 
Watching Purdue last night against fla st. I saw Purdue is ranked 19th while having a 5=1 record and Davidson being the only win against any competion. It got me to wondering about our ranking with wins over Cal, Rutgers and VCU. We are undefeated from the conference that produced the National Champs. How are we not ranked? Obviously there is a Big Ten bias in college sports and the NCAA is the big part of it (ALL ABOUT MONEY). What gauls me the most though is how these ranking systems work by hypothetical analysis and ranking preseason and then by beating ranked teams etc etc...So by the rigged ranking of Big Ten teams the whole league ends up with more quality wins! Thats why the Big Ten proportionally gets more bids than any other conference but has the worst winning percentage in the tourney! We are St Johns!
 
Rutgers giving Michigan St all they can handle . Tied 23-23 with 8 min left first half
 
Gritty effort by Rutgers

Per Josh Newman
Halftime: No. 8 Michigan State 39, Rutgers 37
Geo Baker exited with two fouls at 9:22, and never came back. Big, big win there for Steve Pikiell as Baker is plenty rested.

Interesting that the Big Ten starts conference play a month before the Big East does.
 
Per ESPN
AUSTIN, Texas -- Carlik Jones made a spinning layup and a free throw with 24.5 seconds left, sending Radford to a 62-59 upset of No. 17 Texas on Friday night.

Glad I don’t gamble
 
Just flipped to SNY and our old friend VCU is crushing other old friend Iona by 30 points in the second half.
