i think both will be ranked 27th

Mens team won't be ranked this week. Didn't receive votes last week. 36th in NET. That's all that matters!

Very good win. GT going to a zone really slowed the Cards down. Then, they went back to man-to-man and then back to zone. These switches make the offense reset themselves and figure out what to do. Not sure why CJW won’t switch up his D on occasion when the other tram is surging a bit.

Same concerns as you expressed Koz; as difficult as it is for me to ever criticize CJW, I felt like he contributed to the GT comeback late in the game.

There was an 11 minute span, beginning with about 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, that ended with about 90 seconds left in the game, in which time GT outscored the Lady Cards by 12 points, cutting our lead down to 5 points, before we scored the last 4 points to secure the win. During that critical 11 minutes, Jada only took two (2) shots, albeit she missed both 3s, however aside from her only taking two shots, my issue is not having Jada driving into the paint when GT's Dunn was guarding her, as Dunn was playing with 4 fouls, and it was evident that GT had Dunn intentionally avoiding any contact defensively; yet there was no effort to take advantage of GT's primary offensive weapon.

Aside from my observation, it was truly a great win and it puts UL back into contention to compete in the ACC.

Lot of “ifs” to go all around, as you could make an argument against a lot of the teams that made it into the playoff. I am no fan of the Irish, but I have said ever since we lost to them in South Bend, “they are a very good football team”, as they really have no obvious weaknesses. Riley Leonard is as difficult to defend as any QB in the country, as his decision making ability is underestimated, those multiple audibles were most effective against UGA and PSU.

What was effective for ND was Georgia having to start the "greenest" of QB's and it was pretty effective for the Penn State cornerback falling down and leaving open the receiver he was defending all alone for the tying touchdown.

OSU smoked both IU and Penn State this season and didn't need good luck and favorable flags to do it. ND should lose this game by double digits. But, as we all know, the better team doesn't always win.

Great updates, Kozmas. Looked like the Cards were trying to use as much of the shot clock as possible for at least the last six minutes. Definitely lost some of the offensive rhythm that was so very good for much of the first three quarters.

Major respect to Jaleah Williams for battling down the stretch, with multiple key rebounds, a big steal, and a dagger of a 15 foot jumper. Very glad to see her playing up to her considerable potential.

I'm not optimistic overall, but why would I really care about WF or BC NIL?

I'll be honest i couldn't care less about the whole conference as long as we are taking care of our business. I mean we've done well in the Missouri Valley, Metro, Conference USA, AAC, and Big East as far as tournament results go.

I know football is a totally different deal...

It's not bias when it is basically true, at least this year. 9 SEC teams in top 25 and not even including Georgia who beat the kitties...
How would you like to play the #1 and #2 team in the same week?

Click to expand...

Yeah, it's not a bias citing the truth. The ACC is Duke and everyone else. Only four ACC teams are expected to make the big dance. The ACC was 2 and 14 against the SEC in the recent challenge.

They are definitely pro SEC at ESPN, but they don't need a bias calling out the ACC when comparing it to the SEC.

Thankfully we are going to win this 69-60 but it got close. Tech had it down to 6 we just quit doing what was working and we almost paid the price for it. I guess you could say we bent but didn’t break. Good defense overcame the bad offense in the 4th quarter.

It would suck if we lose this game and that is what happens when you quit doing what works. This reminds me of the Oklahoma game.

Hang on fans it looks like we are playing not to lose instead of playing to win

Up by 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter but Tech cut 7 points off our lead before the end of the quarter. We are going to have to play better bro win this game Tech is capable of winning this if we don’t play smart. I hope we don’t slow it and play not to lose because we are better when we play fast.

They delayed the ruling until after commitments were made for the pros. I think they did not want to hurt the pro game and it would have if all the players knew they could come back another year.

I was reading an article about Former Nebraska volleyball player Lexi Rodriguez who said she was disappointed that this new rule came down after she turned pro. She said if she would have known that she could have played another year at Nebraska she would of stayed in college.

Ultimately that's on the player and maybe some responsibility on her coaches to not understand if a player still has eligibility left.

Ga Tech #13 15-1 record and at halftime we lead by 14. I hope the 2nd half is as good for us as the 1st half. We are so much better when we get into our transition game going.

Pricktino literally shut down our beloved program. Why anyone would wish this jerk well is simply beyond me.

This isn’t the Mack or Kenny Payne led Cardinals, this is the Coach Kelsey led University OF LOUISVILLE F@CKING CARDINALS! When the Pitt players began trash talking Hadley and their ignorant West Virginia East fans began doing the L’s down, Louisville locked in. So now if I am correct, Louisville should have three Quad one wins on their resume come tournament time. Speaking of the whole over played lame ass L’s down, it’s amazing how something started by a inbred, couch burning, underachieving fan base as spread throughout college sports.

I don't get the whole L's down reaction. Texas fans have been putting up with 'horns downs" for literally forever. It means nothing.

I think it is her shoulder. She played limited minutes the other day and while on the bench she had an ice pack on her shoulder.

Honestly it is what it is but all that matters is NCAA results. Ironically enough, the ACC has outperformed the B10 and SEC the last 2 years in the tourney with higher seeded teams!
Additionally last 10 ncaa champions....5 big east, 3 ACC, 2 Big 12! Again all that matters!!
