SG Jaybard Riley- Michigan St., Pitt, Marquette, Vandy, and Memphis are interested in the services of Jaybard, but no offers yet. SG Quikshot Collins- Georgetown has offered, but they are 3rd on the list right now. Also on the list are Pitt, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Michigan St. C Ariel Ginsberg- Georgetown has also offered him, but they are 4th on his list. Villanova, UConn, Temple, and Boston College are the other 4. PF Path Twelve- Oregon St., Oregon, Portland are the top 3, but none have offered. Also on the list is Portland St. and Washington who both still have offered. SG Thomas Magnum- Oh no, here we go again! Thomas has lost all interest from his schools. Crazy! PG Mike Schaplowsky- Wichita St. would be Mike's dream to go to, but Colorado St., Northern Colorado, Colorado, and Wyoming are also in the mix. No offers yet. |

SG Jaybard Riley- Michigan St., and Marquette are the top 2 now, both have offered. Cincinnati is 5th with an offer. Pitt and Vandy round out the top 5, but neither have offered. SG Quikshot Collins- Pitt, North Carolina, and Georgetown have all offered, and they are the top 3. Tennessee and Michigan St., no offers yet. C Ariel Ginsberg- The only changes in the top 5 are that UConn is now #1 on the list, and Villanova is 2. But still, Georgetown is the only offer. PF Path Twelve- 5 teams have now offered and are fighting for the services of Mr. Twelve... Portland is at the top, followed by Oregon, Washington, Oregon State and Portland State. SG Thomas Magnum- Still nothing for Thomas, I am not liking this at all. You can't tell me that a 2 star recruit can't get some looks, even if he is from Hawaii. PG Mike Schaplowsky- There is a new frontrunner in the services for Mike.. UMKC, and they have offered. Kansas State is second now, followed by Tulsa, Wichita State, and Northern Colorado. |

SG Jaybard Riley- Jaybard has given a verbal to Tom Izzo and Michigan State, so unless something crazy happens, Mr. Riley will be a Spartan next season. SG Quikshot Collins- It looks to be between Pitt and North Carolina for Qwikshot, as both have offered. C Ariel Ginsberg- Georgetown has moved up to #2 on the list, and they are still the only offer. UConn is still #1 but hasn't offered. The 3 through 5 are Villanova, Temple, and Boston College. PF Path Twelve- A new school has come up with an offer, the Zags of Gonzaga. It looks to be between Portland, Oregon, and Gonzaga, with Portland holding the lead for whatever reason. Possibly a playing time issue. SG Thomas Magnum- Hey! Clap clap for Thomas. Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers are now showing interest. No offer yet, but it is promising that Thomas is getting some looks again. PG Mike Schaplowsky- It looks as if Mike may become a Wildcat, as Kansas State has offered and are in front of UMKC now. Tulsa, Wichita St., and Colorado are still in the mix, but none have offered. |

This is where I stop for the night, as it's been a long day, and it's bedtime for me. Hopefully I'll get some responses before I jump back into this, as it could be sometime tomorrow. I'm sure the 6 recruits are very eager to see where they end up!

SG Jaybard Riley- Jaybard made it official by signing with Michigan St., our first recruit to test the Big Ten waters. SG Quikshot Collins- The Pitt Panthers have gotten an LOI from Quikshot, who is looking forward to the challenges of the Big East. C Ariel Ginsberg- We've got a rivalry brewing between recruits, as Mr. Ginsberg has signed with Georgetown, which means he and Qwikshot will get quite acquainted with each other. Apparently there is already a twitter war going around in which Quikshot promised to posterize Ariel. Ohh boy! PF Path Twelve- It looks to be between Oregon and Portland for the Path of Twelve (sorry, couldn't resist.) Since Oregon has jumped out in the lead, surely Path will become a Duck soon? And no, not the Mighty Ducks, just the Ducks. SG Thomas Magnum- Ah, this is more like it. Now Thomas is finally getting some decent exposure. He has been offered by Marshall and Loyola-IL, but Indiana St., Idaho St., and Delaware are in the mix as well. PG Mike Schaplowsky- In the end, a chance to stay in his home state was too good to pass up. Once the Shockers dropped their interest, Mike went ahead and signed with his second choice, the Wildcats of Kansas State. I for one am very happy with where my recruit is going.  |

This is the part of the season where I await responses. It's time to look at the depth chart and see where everyone lies. I'll do this by conference order, so as to make it easier. As always, we start with the depth chart before training camps.
Before Training Camp, no redshirts yet C Jace Hunter (Xavier)- Jace is projected to be the starting center. PF Eden James (Boston College)- Eden has slipped a little bit, projected 6th on the depth chart. C Ralph King (Duke)- Ralph is 13th on the depth chart. SF Chester Smith (Maryland)- Chester is 14th on the depth chart. SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- Jack is 10th on the depth chart. PG Benton Gale (High Point)- Benton is 8th on the depth chart. C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State)- Rudy is projected to be the starting PF. PG Al Mighty (Houston)- Al is 6th on the depth chart. SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV)- Ricardo is 8th on the depth chart. PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State)- Ivan is projected to be the starting center. C David Ginsberg (Army)- David is projected to be the starting PF. PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn)- Randy is projected to be the starting PG. PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- Bam is 14th on the depth chart. After Training Camp- CPU decides redshirts C Jace Hunter (Xavier)- Jace is still projected to be the starting C, so no point in him redshirting. PF Eden James (Boston College)- Eden is projected to be first off the bench. He could be redshirted, but BC would risk him transferring if they put the redshirt on him. C Ralph King (Duke)- The game itself redshirting King, so I would say the redshirt is the way to go with him. SF Chester Smith (Maryland)- Yikes! Chester is expected to be the top bench warmer this season for the Terps, listed last on the depth chart. Unfortunately Chester has used his redshirt season, so it looks like he is stuck. SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- Jack is listed 10th on the depth chart. He could redshirt, but there is a possibility of him transferring if he does. PG Benton Gale (High Point)- Benton is listed 7th on the depth chart. He has the option to redshirt, and I checked it closely, the email listed Benton as one of the players who would not transfer if redshirted. C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach St.)- Rudy is listed as the starting PF. Since Rudy is a recruit I made, he's playing! PG Al Mighty (Houston)- Al is listed 6th on the depth chart. Since he redshirted last season, he apparently has no choice but to play this season, even though he is a transfer. When I highlighted his name the redshirt option was unavailable. Interesting. SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV)- It appears that studying is not Ricardo's strong suit, as he has been suspended for the first half of the season because of academics. Now, that could very well change once I get everybodys answers as to whether they want to redshirt their players or not, because I'm not saving things as they are now. Either way with the redshirt last year, he has to play this year. PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State)- Ivan is projected to be the starting C, and since he has already redshirted, he has to play. C David Ginsberg (Army)- David is listed as the starting PF. He could redshirt, but he would most likely transfer, and I don't see the point since he's projected to start. PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn)- Randy is listed as the starting PG and since he has already redshirted, he has to play. That shouldn't be a problem since he's a starter. PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- The computer itself has redshirted Bam, so that is definitely the way to go. Now, some of you have decisions to make for your players. I will hold off on this until I hear those decisions, but I can't wait forever. If I haven't heard from you by the end of the week, I'll have to make the decision for you. So come on folks, get those decisions in! lol |

Waiting on decisions for Jace Hunter and Eden James before I get going with this next season. I'm sure both will elect to play, they should. But until I get confirmation I'm holding off.

So Jaybard Riley is from a town 10 minutes away from where I live and goes to my favorite Big Ten coach. Good start!

Ugh! I had a nice long post typed up on the first week of the season, and when I sent it, nothing was there. I'm pissed now. Fortunately I saved the game, so all I have to do is go back and re-type the post, which I will do a little bit later.

ok, I have no idea what is going on, my post for Nov. 5-13, 2017 is showing up as a blank when I send it. So I guess I'll just move on, and if my next post does the same, I may be in trouble with this dynasty. Something is messing up

This post has 8 days in it because the season actually starts on a Sunday, and I can't see wasting a post just for 2 games, so here we go. JR C David Ginsberg (Army) No games this week for David and the Cadets. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) 11/9/17- Preseason NIT First Round vs. (13) South Alabama (W 76-68), 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks. 11/11/17- Preseason NIT Quarterfinals vs. (5) Notre Dame (W 78-69), 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals. Great start for Jace and the Musketeers. Jace had a heck of a game against Notre Dame. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) No games this week for Randy and the Tigers. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) 11/5/17- Coaches Invitational First Round vs. (10) Miami (OH) (L 78-63), 9 points, 5 rebounds. Terrible start for the Sun Devils, but Ivan looks like he is ready to turn the corner. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) 11/7/17- GDS Classic First Round vs. (15) Georgia Southern (W 84-50), 7 points, 11 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals. 11/9/17- GDS Classic Quarterfinals vs. (7) Rutgers (W 54-44), 4 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 steal. Eden has been huge off the bench for the Eagles so far, leading his team in rebounds both games so far. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 11/12/17- Paradise Shootout First Round vs. (8) Marshall (W 98-75), DNP (Coaches Decision). Poor Chester! It's gonna be a long season for him. Being last on the depth chart, the only way he's going to see minutes is if a lot of people get injured or underperform. I hate that he used his redshirt already. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) 11/6/17- College Classic First Round vs. (2) #8 UCLA (W 86-82), DNP (suspension). 11/8/17- College Classic Quarterfinals vs. (1) #12 Florida (L 75-46), DNP (suspension). Houston could have used Mr. Mighty in that Florida game. I'm hearing through the grapevine that grades are part of the reason Al left Oklahoma State. I hope he figures out that the athlete part of student-athlete is a privilege that can be taken away anytime. Get it together Al! RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) 11/5/17- Coaches Invitational First Round vs. (11) Davidson (W 78-57), 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. 11/6/17- Coaches Invitational Quarterfinals vs. (14) Holy Cross (W 78-69), 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist. 11/12/17- Coaches Invitational Semifinals vs. (2) #4 Oklahoma (L 85-74), 7 points, 1 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal. A decent debut for Ricardo, as his Rebels got a break in the quarterfinals, getting to play the 14 seed instead of the 3 seed. They also put up a good effort against a top 5 Oklahoma team. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) No games this week for Rudy and the 49ers. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting 11/6/17- Travelers Invitational First Round vs. (4) Green Bay (W 89-57) 11/8/17- Travelers Invitational Championship vs. (2) #11 Oklahoma State (L 79-68). Tough loss in the ship for the Orange, they'll have to bounce back from that one. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting No games this week for Bam and the Dons. Man I love that nickname. Da Dons! FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting No games this week for Ralph and the Blue Devils. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 11/12/17 vs. Eastern Michigan (L 82-73) It's gonna be tough for the Panthers, not a lot of talent there. Hopefully they'll be able to get it going. |

And here are the polls for the week I just posted:
Code:
Tough media! Syracuse loses against a very good Oklahoma State team and gets knocked out of the AP Top 25. I don't like it. And how about Auburn picking up 3 votes and not even playing this week. Code:
A lot of teams still in this poll, many of them yet to play a game. I guess the mid-major voters have the attitude of you're in until you lose. Nice to see Xavier with 8 first place votes in this poll. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) 11/16/17 vs. Sacred Heart (L 69-61), 14 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block (double-double) Great start to the season for David, who posted yet another double-double. Tough start for the Cadets. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) 11/18/17- Preseason NIT Semifinals vs. (1) #11 Kansas (L 76-53), 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks. Unfortunately the Musketeers didn't show up to play against Kansas, Jace included. When he fails to get double digits, Xavier usually loses. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) 11/17/17- Island Invitational First Round vs. (7) Appalachian St. (W 82-61), 15 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, (POTG). 11/19/17- Island Invitational Semifinals vs. (3) Missouri St. (L 71-69, OT), 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals. Randy is putting up some solid numbers to begin the season, getting his name in 3 major stat categories consistently. Unfortunately, the Tigers couldn't hold on to a late lead against Missouri St. and fell in OT. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) No games this week for Ivan and the Sun Devils. In fact, they have a long layoff, not playing again until the 23rd. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) 11/16/17- GDS Classic Semifinals vs. (3) Kansas St. (W 68-45), 3 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. 11/17/17- GDS Classic Championship vs. (1) #8 Ohio St. (W 79-77), 1 rebound, 2 assists. 11/19/17 at Rutgers (W 65-52), 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks. The Eagles are the first team to win a preseason tournament championship among our FOFC teams, although Eden struggled a bit this week. He is still a solid role player for this team though. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 11/14/17- Paradise Shootout Semifinals vs. (4) Alabama (W 95-74), DNP (Coaches Decision) 11/16/17- Paradise Shootout Championship vs. (2) #6 Pitt (L 65-60), DNP (Coaches Decision) 11/19/17 at Sacred Heart (W 99-66), DNP (Coaches Decision) Dissapointing that Chester didn't at least get into the Sacred Heart game. I'm not sure what Turgeon is thinking sticking a guy at the end of the bench and ignoring him. Wouldn't be surprised if we have a transfer after the season. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) 11/15/17 vs. Stephen F. Austin (W 68-59), DNP (suspension). Al wasn't even at this game, my understanding is that he was getting caught up on all that homework he has been putting off. He definitely wants to be out there to help his team. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) No games this week for Ricardo and the Rebels. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) 11/17/17 vs. UCLA (L 88-49), 2 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. 11/19/17 at Colorado St. (L 63-62), 6 points, 10 rebounds. Heartbreaking loss for Rudy and the 49ers at Colorado St., they played a very good team very tough. But on the bright side, Rudy had a nice double figure rebounding game to build on. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting 11/18/17 at Bucknell (W 85-48) Easy win for the Orange as a lot of people played in this one. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting 11/15/17 at San Jose St. (W 60-57) 11/17/17 vs. Cal St. Northridge (L 95-94, OT) 11/19/17 at UC Santa Barbara (W 76-65) Not a bad week for the Dons, who were 1 point away from a 3-0 start. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting 11/16/17- Maui Shootout First Round vs. (8) Rider (W 87-72) 11/17/17- Maui Shootout Semifinals vs. (5) San Diego St. (W 90-47) 11/18/17- Maui Shootout Championship vs. (2) #10 Texas (L 90-80) The Blue Devils just ran into a buzzsaw in Texas, but still a good start for Duke, while Ralph sits and observes. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 11/14/17 vs. George Mason (L 68-54) 11/19/17 at Davidson (W 69-61) A road game at Davidson would be the last game I would expect the Panthers to win, but nonetheless, a good 1st win of the season. Code:
All hail the Eagles, who are receiving all but 1 FPV in the media poll. Good to see 5 FOFC teams represented here. Code:
Xavier remains the only FOFC team to get mid-major votes, but they dropped 4 spots in that poll. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) 11/20/17 vs. George Mason (L 87-53), 4 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal. 11/22/17 vs. UMBC (W 67-59), 19 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals, (double-double), (POTG). Holy cow, David went off against UMBC! If he puts up even half of those numbers every game, he'll be in the running for some awards. It's too bad the rest of the team didn't show up against George Mason though. RS FR C Jace Hunter (Xavier) No games this week for Jace and the Musketeers. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) 11/21/17- Island Invitational Third Place Game vs. (1) Purdue (W 80-78, OT), 4 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, (fouled out). 11/26/17 vs. East Tennessee St. (W 95-77), 20 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals, (double-double), (POTG). My oh my, Randy was just 3 boards away from a triple-double against E. Tenn. St! Incredible performance, and a great week for the Tigers. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) 11/23/17 at Charleston Southern (W 88-67), 25 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal (POTG). Ivan went off in the Sun Devils' only game of the week, earning the POTG. Now we are getting a glimpse of the player he really is, and I hope it keeps up. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) No games this week for Eden and the Eagles. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 11/22/17 at Morgan St. (W 97-63), DNP (Coaches Decision) Tough luck for Chester, who failed to get into this game too. Come on Coach Turgeon, give the guy a chance! RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) 11/23/17 at Kansas St. (W 86-71), DNP (suspension) 11/25/17 at #3 Texas (L 98-63), DNP (suspension) Nice win for Houston against K-State, but a major flub against Texas. Al continues to bust his butt in the classroom to get eligible. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) 11/22/17 at Idaho (W 87-75), 11 points, 1 steal. 11/24/17 vs. NJIT (W 87-68), 1 point, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. 11/26/17 vs. Fresno St. (W 75-73), 9 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist. Great week for the Rebels, although 2 of the 3 games were against subpar competition. Ricardo is still trying to get adjusted to the college game, but I have a feeling a breakout game is upcoming. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) 11/25/17 vs. California (L 83-71), 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. Give credit to the 49ers, they are playing a tough schedule among West Coast teams, and they did cut a 29 point halftime deficit down to 7 at one point. Rudy had a decent game, but his coach wants more. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting 11/20/17 at VMI (W 88-55) 11/23/17 vs. Iona (W 92-67) A couple more blowout wins against subpar competition. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting 11/23/17 vs. Cal Poly (L 73-54) Those are not the kind of losses you want if you're a Don, but Cal Poly appears to be a decent team. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting 11/23/17 vs. George Mason (W 75-58) The Blue Devils hand Mason their first loss, in convincing fashion too. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 11/23/17 at N.C. State (L 60-52) A respectable effort against a Wolfpack team that is still undefeated. Code:
Boston College loses 4 FPV, but that's to be expected with the off week, while Duke, Maryland, and Syracuse move up in the polls, and Xavier, not having a game this week either, gets 27 more votes from the media. Go figure. Code:
Let's welcome UNLV to the mid-major polls, as a 3-0 week gets them in. Xavier stays pat with the off week, but it's a mess at the top. 4 teams receive FPV, so there is a lot of parity among the mid-majors. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) 11/28/17 at Fordham (W 67-50), 0 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, 1 steal. 12/1/17 at Seton Hall (L 69-56), 2 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal. 12/3/17 at Penn State (L 71-61), 10 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, (double-double). David finished the week off in style with yet another double-double, but I'm sure he would trade that in for a couple more Cadet wins on the week. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) 11/28/17 at High Point (W 72-53), 12 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal. 12/2/17 vs. Old Dominion (W 69-64), 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal. 2 wins for the Musketeers, and I'm sure Jace is a little disappointed with his performance against Old Dominion, but he had a solid game at High Point. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) 11/30/17 vs. Troy (W 80-71), 22 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, (POTG). Just 1 game this week for Randy and the Tigers, but it was a big one, especially for Randy, as he lit it up again. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) 11/30/17 at North Dakota (W 64-34), 7 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks. 12/2/17 vs. UC Riverside (W 66-57), 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block. Couple more wins for the Sun Devils, who need as many as they can get before conference play. Ivan had decent showings, but not great. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) 11/29/17 vs. Manhattan (W 92-67), 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals. 12/3/17 at Penn (W 78-55), 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal, (POTG). Huge game off the bench against Penn for Eden, who scored POTG. If The Eagles roster wasn't so stacked, he'd be starting. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 12/1/17 vs. Hofstra (W 109-100), DNP (Coaches Decision). You would think with that score that the game would have went overtime, but it didn't. It was just a shootout, 1 that Chester didn't participate in. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) 12/1/17 vs. Prairie View A&M (L 71-68), DNP (Suspension) 12/3/17 vs. Rice (W 70-54), DNP (Suspension) Looks like the Cougars could have used Al against Prairie View. An embarrassing loss to say the least. Good job for them getting it together against Rice. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) 11/30/17 vs. North Carolina A&T (W 86-54), 2 rebounds, 1 assist. Just the 1 game this week for the Rebels. Was hoping Ricardo would log more than just 12 minutes, but then again, he's gotta be productive when he's in the game, and he wasn't. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) 11/29/17 at Southern Utah (L 68-51), 2 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist. 12/3/17 at St. Marys (L 61-33), 4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block. The 49ers are still winless, and they aren't getting the kind of production from Rudy that they were hoping for. He's gotta pick it up. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting 11/27/17 vs. Drake (W 87-79) 12/1/17 at Navy (W 85-54) The Orange roll along against some not so good competition, surprising to see them struggle a bit with Drake. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting 11/30/17 at California (W 79-69) 12/3/17 at Fresno State (L 91-80) Nice win for the Dons against Cal, too bad they couldn't finish it up at Fresno, but they'll take the split. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting 11/28/17 vs. Old Dominion (W 79-45) 12/1/17 vs. Idaho (W 95-56) The Blue Devils had no problem this week against lower level competition. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 11/28/17 vs. Xavier (L 72-53) 12/1/17 vs. Mercer (W 73-64) 12/3/17 at IUPUI (L 80-71) Tough week for the Panthers, but at least they did get 1 win. Code:
The hold on #1 is slipping a bit for Boston College, as they lost FPV to Texas and Vanderbilt. Only 12 points separate BC and Texas. Duke and Syracuse move up, Xavier is into the top 25, and Maryland stays at 8. Code:
UNLV makes a huge jump in the mid-major poll this week, and I do mean huge. Xavier also moves up a spot. Recruiting We've got 1 recruit that has yet to sign, so let's take a look at his progress: SG Thomas Magnum- It looks like Marshall is the front runner as they are they only team showing interest, and they've offered a scholarship. Hopefully it'll just be a matter of time. |

JR David Ginsberg (Army) 12/5/17 at IPFW (L 64-41), 4 points, 4 rebounds. 12/10/17 vs. Yale (W 98-88), 10 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. Not the greatest week for David as he struggled a bit. The Cadets split on the week. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) 12/5/17 vs. Detroit (W 78-67), 13 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks. 12/7/17 vs. Bradley (W 80-71), 28 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 steal, (POTG). 12/10/17 vs. Valparaiso (W 62-50), 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 7 blocks. Wow! Jace was a force in the paint against Valpo, blocking 7 shots, which is a career high for them. The Musketeers have a solid week against fairly decent competition. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) 12/7/17 at Villanova (L 80-70), 4 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists. Another 1 game week for the Tigers, who fell short against a tough Villanova team. Randy is starting to find his groove at distributing the basketball. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) 12/6/17 vs. Northern Arizona (W 74-55), 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. 12/9/17 vs. Central Arkansas (W 73-51), 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. Ivan was hampered by foul trouble against C. Arkansas and only played 19 minutes, but the production is starting to come. The Sun Devils had 15 steals in that game. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) 12/7/17 vs. Hofstra (W 61-52), 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block. 12/10/17 vs. Northeastern (W 80-63), 4 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks. Not the greatest week for Eden, who seemed to be going through the motions a little bit. The Eagles stay undefeated but haven't played any really tough competition lately. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 12/8/17 vs. Drexel (W 87-78), DNP (Coaches Decision) Another game on the bench for Chester, and the Terps struggled just a little with Drexel. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) 12/5/17 vs. UL-Lafayette (W 111-88), DNP (Suspension) 12/10/17 at Baylor (L 91-80), DNP (Suspension) The Cougars can put up some points, no doubt about that. Al is getting some great advice on the sidelines, as he continues to hit the books hard. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) 12/8/17 vs. UC Riverside (W 75-48), 5 points, 1 block. Just the 1 game this week for the Rebels. Ricardo played 10 minutes and didn't do much. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) 12/6/17 at Pepperdine (L 72-68, OT), 4 points, 12 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals. Heck of an effort by the 49ers, as they actually led by 6 at halftime. They probably would have won had Rudy done better than 1-7 from the field. Come on big boy! You gotta hit those shots in the lane! FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting No games this week for the Orange. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting 12/6/17 vs. Sam Houston State (W 87-67) 12/10/17 vs. Pacific (W 80-71) Nice week for the Dons against decent competition. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting 12/4/17 vs. California (W 90-82) 12/7/17 at Elon (W 68-36) 12/10/17 vs. UNC Wilmington (W 69-63) A little surprised to see the Blue Devils struggle with UNC Wilmington, but nonetheless, a 3-0 week has Coach K feeling good. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 12/7/17 at East Tennessee State (L 75-61) Just the 1 game this week for the Panthers, a loss against a good E. Tennessee team. Code:
No change for BC, who still has the same amount of FPV that they did last week, but they are still #1. Duke and Maryland also stay put, while Xavier has a nice 6 spot jump. Syracuse didn't play a game and dropped 5 spots. Geez! Code:
Xavier moves up 2 pots, as does UNLV. Hopefully the Musketeers will start getting some mid-major FPV if they keep winning. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) 12/15/17 at Penn (L 73-69), 7 points, 7 rebounds. 12/17/17 at Harvard (W 58-48), 13 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal, (double-double), (POTG). Huge game for David in the Cadets' win over Harvard. He was the team leader in points, rebounds, and assists. A few more points and rebounds and they probably would have beaten Penn too. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) 12/17/17 vs. VCU (W 100-73), 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists. Jace had a disappointing game in the Musketeers only game of the week. He battled foul trouble all game and only saw 16 minutes of action. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) 12/12/17 at Illinois (L 69-46), 5 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal. 12/16/17 at #22 Michigan St. (L 83-61), 9 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals. Tough week for the Tigers, who lost against 2 solid Big 10 teams. Randy had pretty solid games all around, leading the team in assists both games. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) 12/11/17 vs. Northern Colorado (W 67-61), 6 points, 4 rebounds. 12/14/17 vs. NJIT (W 77-70), 10 points, 10 rebounds, (double-double). The Sun Devils really needed double digit wins against both of these teams, but at least they are winning. Ivan had a nice game against NJIT with a double-double. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) 12/14/17 vs. Fairfield (W 62-32), 8 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks. Just 1 game this week for the Eagles, another easy victory. Eden continues to dominated off the bench, leading the team in rebounds and assists. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 12/12/17 vs. Manhattan (W 94-61), DNP (Coaches Decision) 12/15/17 at Fairleigh Dickinson (W 106-75), DNP (Coaches Decision) Unbelievable! 2 blowout wins and Coach Turgeon can't even find a way to get Chester in the game? Ridiculous. At this point I'd almost like to see Chester transfer. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) No games this week for the Cougars, who get to enjoy a little bit of a break. A decision on Al's playing future could come by the time Houston plays another game. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) 12/12/17 at Texas-Pan American (W 64-42), 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. 12/15/17 vs. Weber St. (W 90-64), 2 points, 2 assists, 1 block. 12/17/17 at UC Davis (W 58-39), 2 points, 2 rebounds. The Rebels had a great week with 3 wins, but Ricardo saw his minutes decrease throughout the week. He needs to get some consistency in his playing time if he's going to improve. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) 12/13/17 at San Diego (W 81-64), 6 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist. 12/15/17 at Northern Arizona (W 61-45), 12 rebounds (injured during game). The 49ers get their first 2 wins of the season, but it came at a cost. Rudy was injured during the Northern Arizona game. The official diagnosis is Patellar Tendanitis, and it will keep him out for about a month. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting 12/14/17 at Bryant (W 69-60) 12/17/17 vs. Minnesota (W 89-79) The Orange struggled a little bit after almost 2 weeks without a game. I'm sure the road trip to Bryant didn't help either. A win is a win though, at this point. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting 12/13/17 vs. Cal St. Fullerton (L 80-49) 12/17/17 at Portland St. (W 75-67) You can bet the Dons want to forget about that Fullerton game as quick as possible. At least they rebounded to beat Portland St. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting 12/14/17 vs. VCU (W 75-42) 12/17/17 at Davidson (W 65-51) VCU and Davidson are 2 mid-major teams that are usually very good, but this season neither one of them are playing up to potential. Still, the Blue Devils were impressive. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 12/12/17 at Hawaii (W 66-65) 12/15/17 at Virginia Tech (L 58-53) It was almost a great road trip for the Panthers, as they came very close to upsetting VA Tech. The fact that they beat Hawaii helps out a little bit though. Code:
It was bound to happen sooner or later. The non-conference SOS caught up with Boston College, and they've lost their #1 ranking. As long as they stay undefeated though, they'll be up there in the top 2 or 3. Maryland stays put again, while Duke, Syracuse, and Xavier all move up. And UNLV and Arizona St. get some votes from the media. Code:
Hello Xavier! The Musketeers are now #1 in the mid-major poll, but barely. UNLV moved up 4 spots. It is great to have such great representation from our FOFC teams in both polls. Now if I could only get that in my Interactive Coaches Dynasty. |

How are you guys liking the week by week format for this? Since this is more on the players, would you like to see me change it somehow to see more info about the players in some way? Or do you like seeing your teams results and rankings and such? I do plan on showing player cards at the end of the month.
What else would you guys like to see? If you are ok with the format, I'll keep busting the weeks out as often as I can. If you'd like to see something specific, feel free to let me know. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) 12/20/17 at Hofstra (W 91-69), 10 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, (double-double). 1 game this week for the Cadets, and it was another win. David had another double-double, but was outdone by his frontcourt mate for POTG award. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) 12/20/17 at St. Francis-PA (W 87-58), 31 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, (double-double), (POTG). 12/23/17 vs. Wagner (W 78-63), 19 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal, (double-double), (POTG). What a week for Jace, albeit not against the greatest of competition, but still, 2 double-doubles and 2 POTG awards is impressive no matter what. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) 12/18/17 vs. Alabama St. (W 85-52), 6 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists. 12/21/17 vs. Southern Miss (W 84-68), 15 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, (POTG). 12/23/17 vs. Georgia St. (L 85-83), 10 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals. 2 points separated the Tigers from having a perfect week, and I tell you, if Randy keeps messing around, he's gonna end up with a triple-double at some point. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) 12/23/17 at New Mexico St. (L 69-63), 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. Just the 1 game this week for the Sun Devils, and they came back to earth a little bit with their second loss of the season. Ivan had a good game, he's turning into a pretty good player. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) 12/18/17 vs. Rhode Island (W 67-50), 4 points, 4 rebounds. 12/22/17 vs. Binghamton (W 84-63), 2 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks. 12/24/17 vs. Portland (W 89-53), 11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal. 3 more wins on the week for the Eagles, pushing them to 13-0. Eden didn't have the best of weeks, as Portland was his best game. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) 12/19/17 vs. Longwood (W 100-51), DNP (Coaches Decision) 12/21/17 vs. #6 Georgetown (W 90-81), DNP (Coaches Decision) 12/24/17 vs. American (W 83-73), 1 minute of action, no stats. By George, we have a Chester sighting! Although he only played 1 minute and didn't get in the stat book, maybe this is a cause for hope for more PT in the near future. The Terps got a big win against a top 10 team in Georgetown. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) 12/22/17 vs. Sam Houston St. (W 51-43), DNP (Suspension) The Cougars get a victory after a 12 day layoff, still awaiting word on Al, but rumor has it he will make his college debut in January. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) 12/24/17 at SIU Edwardsville (W 104-74), 9 points, 2 rebounds. Just the 1 game for the Rebels this week, a convincing win. Ricardo almost got to double figure scoring, but not quite. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) 12/18/17 at USC (L 75-55), DNP (Injured) 12/21/17 vs. Loyola Marymount (L 61-48), DNP (Injured) Tough week for the 49ers without Rudy, as they lost to a couple good West Coast teams. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting 12/20/17 vs. Morgan St. (W 103-87) Easy victory for the Orange in their only game of the week. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting 12/21/17 vs. ECU (W 83-49) 12/24/17 vs. UC Davis (W 58-38) A couple easy victories for the Dons this week. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting 12/21/17 vs. Appalachian St. (W 86-60) Another FOFC team with only 1 game this week, and it was an easy victory for the Blue Devils. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting 12/20/17 at Oakland (L 84-72) 12/23/17 vs. Radford (W 73-66) The Panthers got conference play started right with a win over Radford at least. Code:
The back and forth continues, as Boston College is back on top of the media polls after that great win against Georgetown. Duke and Maryland both move up, as does Xavier. Syracuse moves down a spot. Arizona State lost their media vote with the loss this week, while UNLV gained some votes. Code:
We've got some flip flopping going on here as well, as the Musketeers fall back to 2nd in the mid-major poll, while UNLV stays put at 10th. |

My guy is doing ok on rebounds, but besides one game, he is not performing good enough neither on scoring and on blocking.

I like the format so far. Good work!
The only thing is that, for those of us on teams that are not ranked, it's hard to keep track of how many wins and losses we have. I don't know if that is too much extra work for you (and please, tell me if it would be!), but if it's not too much, listing the wins-losses for the teams, a la the Coaches Dynasty, would be nice. That's all, though. Everything else is perfect.

per bbgunns request, I will be including the record for each team in my posts. The team record will include all games played, even the games I am reporting on for the week. It is basically no different than my Coaches Dynasty.
Dec. 25-31, 2017 JR C David Ginsberg (Army) -- 5-8, 0-0 Patriot. 12/25/17 at Rhode Island (L 62-46), 2 points, 8 rebounds. 12/30/17 at #21 St. Johns (L 79-68), 2 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. The Cadets hung tough against St. Johns, even though they didn't pull out the victory. Not the best week for David. I think he was enjoying Christmas dinner a little too much. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 11-1, 0-0 Atlantic 10. 12/26/17 at VMI (W 66-54), 12 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal. Just the 1 game for the Musketeers, as Jace slipped a little, but still a good job overall. Unfortunately, his season is over, as while he was busting butt on the court, he wasn't busting his butt in the classroom, and has been suspended for the rest of the season due to academic performance. Ouch! RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 6-6, 0-0 SEC. 12/27/11 vs. #14 Butler (L 91-85), 11 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists. Great effort by the Tigers in their only game of the week, even though they fell short. Randy had a nice game, really dishing the ball well. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 8-3, 1-1 Pac 10. 12/28/17 at Washington State (L 61-50), 7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. 12/30/17 at Washington (W 75-69), 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal. The Sun Devils overcame a 13 point halftime deficit to beat Washington, and they'll take the split for the week. Not a great week for Ivan, but it wasn't terrible either. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 13-0, 0-0 ACC. No games this week for Eden and the Eagles, who actually get to enjoy Christmas with their families. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 12-1, 0-0 ACC. 12/28/17 vs. Delaware State (W 107-68), DNP (Coaches Decision) Well that was short lived. Apparently Chester had a meeting with Coach Turgeon and let him know he was not happy at all about being the top bench warmer. Needless to say, the meeting didn't go well, and I'll be shocked if Chester sees another minute of court time at Maryland. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 8-4, 0-0 Conference USA. 12/25/17 vs. TCU (W 78-44), DNP (Suspension) 12/29/17 at Texas A&M (W 79-56), DNP (Suspension) 2 big wins for the Cougars as they stay in-state to finish off the year. The big news though is the return of Al Mighty, who is off academic suspension and will make his debut next week. He won't start, but he should get good minutes off the bench. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 11-2, 0-0 Mountain West. 12/29/17 vs. Cal Poly (L 69-68), 2 points, 1 assist. Yikes! An embarrassing loss for the Rebels, and Ricardo might as well not have bothered to show up, as he did pretty much nothing in his short minutes. Just a tough week all around. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 3-9, 0-0 Big West. 12/25/17 at Eastern Kentucky (W 64-55), DNP (Injury) 12/30/17 at Wyoming (L 69-37), DNP (Injury) A split for the 49ers this week, and they'll take any win they can get right now. Rudy is expecting to resume training next week, and should get back on the court in about 3 weeks. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 10-1, 0-0 Big East. 12/30/17 at New Hampshire (W 92-44) An easy road win for the Orange this week. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 8-5, 0-0 WCC. 12/30/17 vs. Central Michigan (L 63-61) Tough loss for the Dons, who end the month on a losing note. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 12-1, 0-0 ACC. 12/30/17 vs. American (W 84-63) An easy win to finish off the month for the Blue Devils. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 4-10, 1-2 Big South. 12/28/17 vs. Charleston Southern (L 52-50) 12/30/17 vs. Coastal Carolina (L 77-70) 2 tough, close losses for the Panthers this week, who were really hoping to beat Charleston Southern, who came into that game winless. Code:
Boston College has some new competition for FPV, as Duke has gained a couple. That will be a huge showdown in the early conference season. Code:
Xavier has lost most of their FPV this week, and UNLV moves down a spot. For those who want to see your player cards and stats, let me know. I'll do it by interest as opposed to doing every one. And I will do them at any point in the season, not necessarily at the beginning of the month. The reason I'm asking instead of doing them all is because of my limited free time and the fact I have many other projects going. So I'm not going to add stuff unless I have specific requests for it. I hope you all understand. Meanwhile, we do still have some recruit news to talk about. Recruiting SG Thomas Magnum- Thomas and Marshall just can't seem to get connected yet. Thomas is interested, Marshall is interested and they've offered, but for whatever reason, Thomas hasn't accepted yet. Come on Thomas, this is your only offer! Take it while it's there. |

Yikes! You didn't miss it, I did. Good catch! Path hadn't signed yet, but for some reason I thought he had. When I get back home tonight I'll check it out and let you know. Thanks for that man, I spaced out on that one. Who knows, maybe somebody besides Oregon or Portland got in the mix. |

Yea I know, it's a bummer. I will probably manually edit everybodys academics to make them higher next season, as I really don't want any of our recruits to have to miss time because of an academic suspension. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) -- 5-10, 0-1 Patriot. 1/2/18 at LaSalle (L 65-47), 2 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal. 1/6/18 vs. Lehigh (L 74-51), 8 points, 12 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal. Tough week for the Cadets, who just got hammered in 2 games, including their conference opener. David broke a streak of 2 point, 8 rebounds games by getting 8 and 12 in the conference opener. RS SO Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 13-1, 0-0 Atlantic 10. 1/1/18 vs. Michigan (W 71-55), DNP (Suspension) 1/5/18 at SIU Edwardsville (W 94-75), DNP (Suspension) Life without Jace begins this week, as the Musketeers hammered 2 opponents. In most years that Michigan win would be a good win, but this year the Wolverines are just 2-11 on the season. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 8-6, 1-0 SEC. 1/4/18 vs. UAB (W 69-52), 4 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals. 1/6/18 vs. Alabama (W 88-52), 17 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal. Great start to conference play for the Tigers who rock an 11 win Alabama team. Randy finally decided to shoot the ball a little bit and had his highest point total in a while. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 10-3, 2-1 Pac 10. 1/4/18 vs. UTEP (W 69-44), 8 points, 4 rebounds, 5 blocks. 1/6/18 at #20 Arizona (W 64-57), 10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal. Great week for the Sun Devils who beat 2 solid opponents. It's been a while since they beat their in-state rivals. And Ivan wanted more blocks, so how about 5 against UTEP? SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 14-1, 0-0 ACC. 1/1/18 vs. UMass (L 71-63), 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks. 1/6/18 at Harvard (W 66-53), 8 rebounds, 2 steals. It's been a long time since Eden was held scoreless, but he was against Harvard, missing all 4 of his shots. And the Eagles are no longer undefeated, but no shame in losing to a good UMass team. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 13-1, 0-0 ACC. 1/3/18 vs. Winston-Salem (W 84-49), DNP (Coaches Decision) I'll be honest, I have no idea where this Winston-Salem came from, I don't ever remember them being a D1 school, but they are listed as an independent. Of course, this report is being played with the teams and conference alignments from when the game was made, so maybe. Oh yea, as for the game, Chester didn't even suit up. Yea, it's bad. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 8-5, 0-0 Conference USA. 1/2/18 vs. Texas Tech (L 69-54), 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist. Just 1 game this week for the Cougars, a loss. Al had a rough debut, but it'll probably take him a while to get going. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 11-3, 0-1 Mountain West. 1/3/18 vs. Utah (L 60-51), 4 points, 3 rebounds. Definitely not the way the Rebels wanted to start conference play. Ricardo keeps struggling. Hopefully he'll pick it up soon. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 4-10, 1-1 Big West. 1/4/18 vs. UC Irvine (W 60-56), DNP (Injury) 1/6/18 at UC Davis (L 75-71), DNP (Injury) The 49ers should not be losing to teams like UC Davis, but it was at home. Still a little bit of time before Rudy comes back. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 10-3, 0-2 Big East. 1/3/18 vs. Cincinnati (L 76-66) 1/6/18 at #18 Georgetown (L 85-64) Not a great way to start Big East play for the Orange. They'll have to get it going fast. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 8-6, 0-1 WCC. 1/6/18 at Santa Clara (L 90-83) The Dons are another team that don't start conference play very well this season. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 13-1, 0-0 ACC. 1/4/18 at Green Bay (W 87-49) No problem here for the Blue Devils, who roll going into conference play. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 6-10, 3-2 Big South. 1/4/18 at UNC Asheville (W 76-65) 1/6/18 at Gardner Webb (W 77-74) The Panthers are 1 of the few conference teams that didn't lose a conference game this week. Code:
Syracuse drops all the way out of the polls after a 2 loss week, and of course we knew Boston College would drop. This wasn't a good week for any of the FOFC teams actually. With the exception of Duke, they all dropped in the media poll. Code:
Huge drop for UNLV, small drop for Xavier. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) -- 7-10, 2-1 Patriot. 1/10/18 vs. Bucknell (W 65-63), 7 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist. 1/13/18 vs. Navy (W 74-65), 11 points, 12 rebounds, (double-double). Great week for the Cadets with 2 wins, and how about David being a monster on the boards? He didn't get POTG either game, but he certainly helped his team. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 13-3, 0-2 Atlantic 10. 1/10/18 at Temple (L 78-54), DNP (Suspension) 1/13/18 at Dayton (L 99-72), DNP (Suspension) The Musketeers are certainly missing Jace in the lineup, as evidenced by 2 brutal games. To their defense, those are 2 of the better teams in the A-10. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 10-6, 3-0 SEC. 1/8/18 at LSU (W 64-54), 15 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 1 steal. 1/13/18 at #13 Mississippi St. (W 82-63), 10 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists. Great week for the Tigers, getting 2 big road victories, including the big one over Miss. St. Randy had a nice overall week as well. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 11-4, 3-2 Pac 10. 1/11/18 vs. Cal (L 87-79), 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists. 1/13/18 vs. #21 Stanford (W 77-48), 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist. That was a huge win over a top 25 Stanford team, it's a bummer they couldn't get it done against Cal. Ivan is taking advantage of his opportunities to score, but he didn't have a block at all this week, that's something to take note of. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 16-1, 2-0 ACC. 1/10/18 at #2 Duke (W 76-63), 6 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals. 1/13/18 vs. N.C. State (W 77-41), 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks. Good week for the Eagles, who have recovered from that loss. That win over Duke was big too. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 14-2, 1-1 ACC. 1/10/18 at Clemson (L 84-81), DNP (Coaches Decision) 1/13/18 at Georgia Tech (W 79-68), DNP (Coaches Decision) Rumor has it things have gotten so bad between Chester and coach Turgeon that he was asked to stay home on this road trip. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 10-5, 2-0 Conference USA. 1/10/18 vs. Tulane (W 81-57), 3 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals. 1/13/18 vs. SMU (W 75-67), 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists. Good week for the Cougars, and congrats to Al who got his first double figure scoring game of his college career. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 13-3, 2-1 Mountain West. 1/10/18 at TCU (W 75-66), 3 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. 1/13/18 vs. San Diego St. (W 68-53), 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal. Decent game against San Diego St. for Ricardo, but the Rebels get back to their winning ways which is good. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 5-11, 2-2 Big West. 1/11/18 at Cal St. Northridge (L 80-78, OT), 7 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, (Fouled Out). 1/13/18 vs. Cal Poly (W 65-63), 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. A big shock here, as Rudy came back almost 2 weeks earlier than expected, and he had a nice game against Northridge, although he did become the first FOFCer to foul out of a game in quite a while. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 11-4, 1-3 Big East. 1/10/18 at Rutgers (W 91-68) 1/13/18 vs. Marquette (L 84-62) Tough week for the Orange who are not starting well in Big East play this season. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 10-6, 2-1 WCC. 1/11/18 at San Diego (W 75-69) 1/13/18 at St. Marys (W 84-73) Good week for the Dons who are now over .500 in WCC play. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 14-2, 1-1 ACC. 1/10/18 vs. #5 Boston College (L 76-63) 1/13/18 at North Carolina (W 74-59) The loss to Boston College hurt, but it's always nice to get a win over your arch rivals. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 8-10, 5-2 Big South. 1/11/18 vs. Liberty (W 64-59) 1/13/18 vs. VMI (W 64-55) The Panthers now have a 4 game winning streak and are rolling along. Code:
Syracuse is still receiving a few votes after their loss this week. Can't say the same for Xavier who lost both their games. Gotta wonder if those games would have been different with Jace in the lineup. Boston College jumps over Duke, and Maryland, despite their record, is in shambles right now with the in-house feud between coach Turgeon and Chester Smith. Code:
Welcome Houston into the mix in the mid-major poll, as they get some votes for the first time. Xavier takes a massive drop, while UNLV rises a few spots. Last edited by collegesportsfanms : 04-14-2015 at 08:51 PM. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) -- 8-11, 3-2 Patriot. 1/17/18 at Colgate (W 69-56), 2 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. 1/20/18 at Holy Cross (L 74-64), 2 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block. A split for the Cadets, they'll take it. David had another huge rebounding day at Colgate, not as strong at Holy Cross. Some more scoring would have been nice. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 15-3, 2-2 Atlantic 10. 1/17/18 at Fordham (W 80-67), DNP (Suspension) 1/20/18 vs. Dayton (W 71-63), DNP (Suspension) Good bounce back week for the Musketeers, including avenging a loss to Dayton. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 10-8, 3-2 SEC. 1/16/18 vs. Kentucky (L 66-60), 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal. 1/20/18 at #24 Georgia (L 108-54), 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal. Yikes! The Tigers might as well stayed home in that loss to Georgia. It was 61-20 at halftime! Randy was one of the few people that showed up in that game as he had almost 25% of Auburn's scoring. Not a good week for Auburn. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 13-4, 5-2 Pac 10. 1/18/18 at Oregon St. (W 79-63), 16 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. 1/20/18 at Oregon (W 68-56), 7 points, 4 rebounds. Nice week for the Sun Devils who have already far eclipsed their win total from last year. Another blockless week for Ivan, but he had a nice scoring game at Oregon St. Oregon was tougher, he only played 18 minutes because of foul trouble. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 18-1, 4-0 ACC. 1/17/18 vs. Miami (FL) (W 72-60), 11 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 steal. 1/20/18 vs. North Carolina (W 76-54), 6 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block. Another great week for the Eagles who are rolling along. Eden had a couple solid games off the bench. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 15-3, 2-2 ACC. 1/17/18 vs. N.C. State (L 77-70), DNP (Coaches Decision) 1/20/18 vs. Florida St. (W 68-66), DNP (Coaches Decision) A split this week for the Terrapins, but the real story continues to be the feud between Chester and coach Turgeon. I can understand being left behind on a road trip, but Chester wasn't on the bench for either home game this week. Ruh-roh! RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 12-5, 4-0 Conference USA. 1/17/18 vs. #22 Kent St. (W 93-73), 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals. 1/20/18 at UTEP (W 71-56), 8 points, 1 rebound. Nice week for the Cougars who handed Kent St. only their 2nd loss of the season. Al is still trying to play catch-up after missing the first half of the season, but he's showing flashes of greatness. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 14-4, 3-2 Mountain West. 1/17/18 vs. #12 BYU (L 84-60), 4 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists. 1/20/18 at Wyoming (W 86-74), 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist. A very productive game for Ricardo at Wyoming, as he played just 9 minutes and scored 10 points. That's the kind of effort he needs to bring to the table consistently. Unfortunately, the Rebels didn't show up against BYU. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 6-12, 3-3 Big West. 1/16/18 at Cal St. Fullerton (L 74-68), 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block. 1/18/18 vs. UC Riverside (W 61-51), 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal. A split for the 49ers, but the real story is Rudy. Since coming back from injury he's played 4 games. He fouled out 1 game and ended up with 4 fouls the other 3 games. He's just a little bit behind now and it's costing him as far as fouls go. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 12-5, 2-4 Big East. 1/17/18 vs. #11 Georgetown (L 70-57) 1/20/18 vs. UConn (W 90-80) A split for the Orange who continue to struggle this month. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 11-7, 3-2 WCC. 1/18/18 vs. Loyola Marymount (L 69-61) 1/20/18 vs. Pepperdine (W 62-54) The Dons get another split this week. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 15-3, 2-2 ACC. 1/17/18 vs. Florida St. (W 91-56) 1/20/18 at Wake Forest (L 72-65) Gotta be able to win road games in the ACC, and Duke missed an opportunity at Wake Forest. The ACC is brutally tough this season, as 11 teams have an overall winning record, and only VA Tech is playing .500 overall. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 8-12, 5-4 Big South. 1/18/18 at USC Upstate (L 76-74) 1/20/18 at Presbyterian (L 85-64) Tough week for the Panthers who have fallen back down to mediocrity. Code:
Weird media top 25 this time, as Texas is undefeated, as more FPV than Pitt, but because of voting points, is 2 points away from being #1. Crazy stuff. Boston College stays put, Duke moves down, Maryland continues their downward slide (in more ways than one!), and Syracuse loses all their media points. Xavier, however, is back in with 5 media points. Code:
Great to see Houston in the mid-major top 25, and Xavier rises 2 spots. UNLV, meanwhile, drops 4 spots this week. |

David Ginsberg (Army) -- 8-13, 3-4 Patriot. 1/24/18 vs. American (L 80-57), 2 points, 1 rebound. 1/27/18 vs. New Hampshire (L 79-48), 7 points, 10 rebounds. Tough week for David and the Cadets. Only 10 minutes of action for David against American as he battled foul trouble. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 17-3, 4-2 Atlantic 10. 1/24/18 vs. Temple (W 102-96, OT), DNP (Suspension) 1/27/18 vs. St. Bonaventure (W 96-75), DNP (Suspension) Good week for the Musketeers, as Jace still battles his academic issues. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 10-10, 3-4 SEC. 1/23/18 vs. Ole Miss (L 71-62), 2 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal. 1/27/18 at #12 Vanderbilt (L 74-66), 11 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals. The effort was there for the Tigers against 2 teams that have a combined 7 losses on the season, but Auburn still has a ways to go. Randy had a nice game against Vandy, but he's got to improve on that 3 for 10 shooting. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 14-5, 6-3 Pac 10. 1/25/18 vs. UCLA (L 80-68), 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block. 1/27/18 vs. USC (W 68-54), 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block. A split for the Sun Devils this week, but Ivan had a nice week. ASU held USC to just 11 first half points in that game. Wow. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 20-1, 6-0 ACC. 1/24/18 at Virginia Tech (W 68-55), 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal. 1/27/18 at Miami (W 66-58), 14 points, 12 rebounds, 1 block, (Double-double), (POTG). The Eagles stay undefeated in ACC play, and Eden gets another double-double and POTG award. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 15-5, 2-4 ACC. 1/24/18 vs. North Carolina (L 82-73), DNP (Coaches Decision) 1/27/18 at Florida State (L 76-58), DNP (Coaches Decision) While the slide continues for Maryland, we understand that Chester has now stopped attending classes, and has given up on college. No Chester, don't do it! RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 14-5, 6-0 Conference USA. 1/24/18 vs. UTEP (W 94-82), 7 points, 1 assist. 1/27/18 vs. Southern Miss (W 84-74), 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block. Nice game for Al against Southern Miss, probably the best of his young career as the Cougars stay undefeated in conference play. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 15-5, 4-3 Mountain West. 1/23/18 at Air Force (W 76-55), 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal. 1/27/18 vs. Colorado State (L 81-64), 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal. A split for the Rebels, and Ricardo continues to struggle to find consistency with his minutes. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 7-13, 4-4 Big West. 1/23/18 vs. UC Riverside (L 73-50), 4 rebounds, 1 assist. 1/25/18 at Pacific (W 82-57), 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. While the 49ers split, Rudy continues to struggle with fouls, picking up 4 in each of his 2 games this week. He's got to learn to play without fouling, as his MPG has really gone down over the course of the season. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 14-5, 4-4 Big East. 1/24/18 at West Virginia (W 97-74) 1/27/18 at Providence (W 73-62) The Orange got 2 big road wins this week, but they've got a really tough stretch of games coming up. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 11-9, 3-4 WCC. 1/25/18 at Idaho (L 81-80) 1/27/18 at Portland (L 74-67) 2 tough losses for the Dons who are back under .500 in conference play. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 16-4, 3-3 ACC. 1/24/18 vs. Virginia (W 104-69) 1/27/18 at Georgia Tech (L 73-70) What a blowout for the Blue Devils against Virginia, but they couldn't seal the deal at Georgia Tech. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 9-13, 6-5 Big South. 1/25/18 at Coastal Carolina (L 66-45) 1/27/18 at Charleston Southern (W 48-47) The Panthers will happily take a split this week, as the win breaks a 3 game losing steak. Code:
We welcome Syracuse and Xavier back to the Media Top 25, as Duke and Maryland suffer huge drops, while Boston College moves up a spot, but no FPV. Code:
So UNLV barely hangs in the mid-major top 25, while Houston takes a huge jump, and Xavier moves up a couple spots. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) -- 10-13, 4-4 Patriot. 2/1/18 vs. #5 Wisconsin (W 75-72), 6 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks. 2/3/18 at Lehigh (W 73-62), 6 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block. Big week for the Cadets, who sent a national shock into everybody by upsetting Wisconsin. 1 bit of bad news, as David broke a finger during the Lehigh game. Word is it will only keep him out a few days, and he is questionable for the next game. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 17-5, 4-4 Atlantic 10. 1/31/18 at Richmond (L 79-67), DNP (Suspension) 2/3/18 at LaSalle (L 71-69, OT), DNP (Suspension) Tough week for the Cadets, who really could have used Jace. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 11-11, 4-5 SEC. 1/29/18 vs. Arkansas (W 75-37), 8 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals. 2/3/18 at Alabama (L 92-80), 9 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal. The Tigers will take the split, especially since the win was by 38 points. Randy came very close to another double-double against Bama. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 14-6, 6-4 Pac 10. 2/3/18 vs. Arizona (L 77-68), 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal. Just the 1 game this week for the Sun Devils, and the loss won't help their NCAA Tournament chances. They were down 16 at halftime. Ivan was having a monster game before he left early in the 2nd half with a concussion. Fortunately, he's only expected out 4 days, so he should be back in time for the next game. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 22-1, 8-0 ACC 1/31/18 vs. Virginia (W 83-51), 9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks. 2/3/18 at #16 Maryland (W 76-59), 13 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 steal, (POTG). The Eagles are still soaring high, having a remarkable run, as Eden got another POTG award. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 16-6, 3-5 ACC. 1/31/18 vs. Clemson (W 96-87), DNP (Coaches Decision) 2/3/18 vs. #2 Boston College (L 76-59), DNP (Coaches Decision) The Terps finally got a conference win again, then lost bad to Eden and the Eagles. Apparently Eden and Coach Turgeon got into a heated discussion after the game, one can only wonder what that was about (cough, Chester, cough). RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 15-6, 7-1 Conference USA. 1/31/18 at ECU (L 80-61), 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal. 2/3/18 at Tulane (W 99-89), 11 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal. Almost exact identical numbers for Al in his 2 games, which saw Houston lose their first conference game, but rebound nicely at Tulane. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 15-7, 4-5 Mountain West. 1/31/18 vs. New Mexico (L 65-64), 1 assist. 2/3/18 at Utah (L 70-69), 3 rebounds. As you can see, Ricardo didn't do much in either game. He played 4 minutes in 1, 8 minutes in the other, so he's still got some work to do. 2 tough losses for Rebels, by 1 point each. Ugh! FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 7-15, 4-5 Big West. 2/1/18 vs. UC Davis (L 48-47, OT), 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist. 2/3/18 at San Francisco (L 60-57), 3 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. Tough week for the 49ers, including getting beat by fellow FOFCer Bam and his Dons. The good news for Rudy is he finally broke the streak of games with 4 fouls, as he had just 1 at San Francisco. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 16-5, 6-4 Big East. 1/31/18 at Seton Hall (W 80-63) 2/3/18 vs. #14 Villanova (W 96-86) Great week for the Orange, as they are in the midst of a killer schedule. 2 down, but still got top ranked Pitt looming next week. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 13-9, 4-4 WCC. 2/1/18 vs. Santa Clara (W 77-67) 2/3/18 vs. Long Beach State (W 60-57) 2 big wins on the week for the Dons, now they need to keep up the momentum. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 18-4, 5-3 ACC. 1/31/18 at N.C. State (W 86-40) 2/3/18 at Florida State (W 76-41) Easy week for the Blue Devils. They may have been on the road but they won both games convincingly. FR PG Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 9-15, 6-7 Big South. 2/1/18 vs. Gardner Webb (L 94-93) 2/3/18 vs. UNC Asheville (L 72-61) 2 more losses for the Panthers, although the Gardner Webb game was given away. Code:
Xavier is back out of the media top 25, losing all their votes. BC gets a FPV and stays at #2. Duke and Syracuse have nice jumps while Maryland continues to free fall. Code:
All 3 of these teams had bad mid-major weeks. UNLV drops out, and Houston and Xavier also drop. OK folks, we're into February, and that means Bubble Watch time. First, we'll look at the Overall Bubble Watch: Code:
Maryland still has some work to do or they are going to fall all the way out. Houston just needs to keep running through conference play. As for our other 12 FOFC teams, here's how it shakes up: Boston College, Duke, and Syracuse are projected as locks. Xavier is projected in. High Point, Long Beach State, UNLV, Arizona State, Army, Auburn, and San Francisco are projected out. Remember, this is for the NCAA Tournament only. Some of those teams projected out will most likely be in secondary tournaments. Recruiting SG Thomas Magnum- Finally! Thomas has finally accepted the offer, and he will be going to Marshall. Nevada made a late run, but too little, too late. |

JR C David Ginsberg (Army) -- 12-13, 6-4 Patriot. 2/7/18 at Navy (W 53-43), 10 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists. 2/10/18 at Bucknell (W 75-64), 6 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal. The Cadets keep the winning streak going, now up to 4. David came off the bench against Navy, but was back in the starting lineup against Bucknell, and he had a couple of solid games. RS SO C Jace Hunter (Xavier) -- 18-6, 5-5 Atlantic 10. 2/7/18 vs. Duquesne (W 60-46), DNP (Suspension) 2/10/18 at George Washington (L 61-58), DNP (Suspension) The Muskeeters finally stop the losing streak while Jace continues to sit out academically. RS SO PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn) -- 11-13, 4-6 SEC. 2/8/18 vs. North Carolina Central (L 78-77), 9 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals. 2/10/18 vs. LSU (L 75-67), 13 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals. 2 losses for the Tigers on the week, including an embarrassing home loss to NC Central. Randy had nice all around games though. RS SO PF Ivan Carrillo (Arizona State) -- 15-7, 7-5, Pac 10. 2/8/18 at Stanford (W 69-67), 3 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists. 2/10/18 at Cal (L 70-53), 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist. So a split for the Sun Devils, and Ivan didn't have the best of weeks either, but to his defense he was coming back from injury. SO PF Eden James (Boston College) -- 23-2, 9-1 ACC. 2/7/18 vs. Georgia Tech (W 66-45), 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 blocks, 1 steal. 2/10/18 at #25 North Carolina (L 71-60), 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block. So the Eagles lose their second game of the season in convincing fashion, and Eden was held scoreless, missing all 7 of his shots. He'll have to bounce back quick. RS FR SF Chester Smith (Maryland) -- 17-7, 4-6 ACC. 2/7/18 vs. Miami (FL) (W 115-79), DNP (Coaches Decision) 2/10/18 at #8 Duke (L 84-54), DNP (Coaches Decision) Chester remained unseen, which is a shame, because he might have had a small shot at playing this week. Boy are the Terps in trouble. They can beat the mediocre teams in conference, but against the top teams, they get blown out. RS FR PG Al Mighty (Houston) -- 17-6, 9-1 Conference USA. 2/7/18 at SMU (W 81-72), 1 rebound, 3 assists. 2/10/18 at #22 Kent St. (W 97-81), 5 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists. Big week for the Cougars who knock off ranked Kent St. in convincing fashion. While Al didn't have a great week, he is taking advantage of his opportunities and starting to see the floor better. RS FR SG Ricardo Tubbs (UNLV) -- 17-7, 5-5 Mountain West. 2/5/18 vs. USC Upstate (W 84-57), no stats (0-1 shooting) 2/10/18 vs. TCU (W 83-56), 6 points, 1 rebound. 2 feel good, blowout wins against subpar competition for the Rebels, and Ricardo is still struggling to find his rhythm. FR C Rudy Arellano (Long Beach State) -- 7-17, 4-7 Big West. 2/8/18 at Cal Poly (L 57-53), 6 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist. 2/10/18 at UC Irvine (L 72-55), 2 points, 7 rebounds. 2 more losses for the 49ers. Rudy is starting to pull down some boards, now he needs to find some scoring. FR SF Jack Dawkins (Syracuse)- redshirting -- 18-5, 8-4 Big East. 2/7/18 vs. #1 Pitt (W 100-83) 2/10/18 vs. Louisville (W 91-60) Huge week for the Orange who have now won 7 in a row. FR PF Bam Jamison (San Francisco)- redshirting -- 13-11, 4-6 WCC. 2/8/18 vs. San Diego (L 77-71) 2/10/18 vs. St. Marys (L 82-79) Close games for the Dons, but games they really needed to help their postseason chances. Even getting 1 would have been nice. FR C Ralph King (Duke)- redshirting -- 20-4, 7-3 ACC. 2/7/18 vs. Wake Forest (W 101-95) 2/10/18 vs. #18 Maryland (W 84-54) Good week for the Blue Devils, including a smashing of Maryland. FR Benton Gale (High Point)- redshirting -- 11-15, 8-7 Big South. 2/8/18 at VMI (W 71-56) 2/10/18 at Liberty (W 72-63) Much better week for the Panthers, who get 2 solid wins. Code:
Even though Boston College dropped a spot in the media Top 25, they gained quite a few FPV. Maryland stays put while Syracuse has a big jump, and Duke had a small jump. Code:
Xavier continues to lose steam without Jace, while Houston has a huge jump, and UNLV gets some more votes. Let's take a look at the overall bubble watch: Code:
Maryland is barely still in, and I mean barely. They can't have anymore games like they did against Duke. Now for everybody else: Boston College, Duke, Syracuse are projected as locks. Xavier and Houston are projected in. High Point, Long Beach State, UNLV, Arizona State, Army, Auburn, and San Francisco are projected out. |

Ugh what is USF doing? I guess it's good that Bam is in town, to improve on this mess next season.
