BE Opening Weekend Game Thread - Nov 13, 2015...

LMFAO at this board. People worked up about a 73-point Butler victory when Georgetown lost to f*cking Radford. Some of you are unbelievable.

[FriarJ]

Hyperbole much? Saying they should not be playing a team that bad is not getting all worked up. It's a statement of simple fact.

Here some getting worked up for you, I had friends tell me how un-classy it was for Butler to run up the score, when I told them they actually didn't they didn't believe me. This game was worthless on many levels.

Butlers win hurt the league RPI more than the Marquette loss did. None of our schools should ever be playing schools that bad outside of a tournament where you have no choice.

Tell that to Wojo, he scheduled like 8 perennial 300+ rpi teams...

[FriarJ]

Holy crap, did he really? I thought the league sat down with all the schools after the first season about scheduling and everybody listened that's why we had such a good league rpi last year. If that's true they are going to have to have one heck of a league season to make it to the NCAA's.

Yep. That's why the Belmont game is so tough for them to lose. They had 13 OOC games. 8 cupcakes, 4 tougher games(Iowa, Wisconsin, LSU, Arizona St/NC State). And Belmont. With that schedule, they need now to win at least 2 of the 4 tougher games. 1-3 or 0-4, and it's pretty much must win at least 11 games to have any shot.

I agree that The Citadel is beyond horrid, but I still was impressed with Butler putting up 144 points. Butler's schedule will not be as good as last season, but I doubt The Citadel game is going to kill their resume. A lot of basketball to play. If they take care of business they control thier own destinty. I was also impressed with Dunham's game off the bounce. He has improved.

Hard to get dates at the Bradley Center with the Bucks and Admirals. Plus, it's done with only having 3 returning scholarship players.

Depaul wins 69-63. Actually made adjustments for the second half and tightened up that defense. Probably won't finish top half this year but doubt they'll finish last like this board predicts.

There is no excuse for DePaul to finish last this year with the talent in the roster. If they finish last, just fire leitao immediately.

I'm not so concerned about DePaul's finish in conference standings. I just down want to see them tank their out of conference schedule and drag down the league.

[MUPanther]

I don't know who is worse, stever or bearcat bounce. Both basically arguing that watching a ESPN3 internet stream is better than, you know actually watching the game on TV via FS2. LOL. Losers.

Since, everything on FS1 & FS2 can be streamed on Fox Sports Go.

That sucks.

Try to keep your of games in the 100-200 range. It really does matter.
