Pomeroy has BU as a 2-point underdog, with a 41% chance of a win. AFter that, it also has the Bison as the favorite in every remaining game except VCU. But because they are not heavy favorites, Pomeroy predicts them to win three of the final five OOC games (Vermont, Northeastern, VCU, Richmond, and LaSalle),

teamrankings is similar, though slightly more favorable towards the Bison.
(though if someone put a gun to my head, I'd always go with kenpom)

The Bison, btw, currently have played the 10th toughest schedule in the nation (Pomeroy) after adjusting for teams who have played D2/D3 opponents. They are 3rd among top 100 teams and 5th among top 200 teams.

The old Hawk Hoop Club seems to have disappeared. This is the only board of which I am aware:

The shooting couldn’t be much worse, 22% with 8 min to go...10% from three.

This is a sad state of affairs. You think davis can make an adjustment. The strategy is pretty clear...double team all posts. And can O’Reilly not play. I literally can’t remember him hitting threes. If he’s not going to hit threes he provides nothing of value.

O’reilly shouldn’t be in the rotation. He’s awful on D and is the worst “Sharp Shooter†in the PL.
This is awful.

Not that this is this the cause of the horrible half, but these refs are horrible, absolutely horrible.

St. Joes Game 11-29-17 08:58 PM - Post#238394
In response to HuskyColonial
If our shots aren't going in we're a bad team. We're leaving them wide open to make their shots. We manufacture runs for the other team by our bad shooting and it gets us behind. Bruce Moore had an open three right at the beginning of the game and didn't take it and it set the tone for the whole game. Zach is cold as ice. On a plus note, Stephen Brown is trying to carry the team and Jimmy Sotos is really artistic when he has the ball. We have an absentee coach tonight. Maryland was down fifteen and made the halftime adjustments. Will Bucknell be able to do the same, or will it be a runaway?

Sigh. I can’t believe we drove almost three hours to watch the worst half of basketball this season. So many things not good with that half. There have def been defensive lapses leaving guys wide open, but it seems the biggest problem is abysmal shooting from everywhere. Nana has had good looks but can’t hit, Zach looks overwhelmed when he gets the ball down low, Bruce cannot hit anything, O’Reilly Who is in for one purpose only is 0-4....not going to win any game shooting 25% from th field and 53% from the line. Can only hope the percentages even out in the second half. Luckily SJ’s only hit 36% from the field or this would be over.

This is pathetic. The effort is sad, the rebounding is embarrasssing. St. Joes is not any good. We wouldn’t have beaten Colgate tonight. This is shameful

54-33 this one is over, To play well and lose is not a bad thing. That is not the case in this game. Still hoping for a miracle, but not expecting much.

No effort on the rebounding. Its almost like they don't think its part of the game. The spirit of the team left with MacKenzie. This team is deflated.

God Joe Lunardi called this game on the A10? He’s a really bad commentator. Just stick to bracketology dude. If I didn’t know better it was a student commentator.

Sotos and Brown showed up at least. I know he’s still young but I am just not seeing what many others are seeing in Moore. Seems like a likeable young man but at least tonite, is not very good on defense. For being 6’8†his help defense inside against smaller players is poor.

So what exactly does Nathan Davis do? I’ve yet to see adjustments from him all season. They play simple man D. Offensively they seem to do dribble hand offs and 1-4. I’ve yet to see a designed play out of a time out.
In this game we’re down the entire game and showing no energy and we never change to a press, even when we’re down 12 with 4 mins left? Like I don’t get it, what’s he doing?

We're not going to have many nights of shooting the ball that badly. Going to need to bounce back to beat Vermont. They beat Richmond on the road tonight 71-65.
