    Syracuse has overtaken Cornell early in the 2nd, and Maryland is trying to rally against UConn

    At the game. I like the new kids.

    This be some silky smooth basketball.

    Barber is having a great 2nd half … great to see

    Good job young guys pulling away. Would love to see this team gel in December.

    Our spacing is sooooo good. Another way to use being undersized to our advantage.

    How can you not love Lewis?

    Hahaha that was awesome (I know I’m about 10 min behind with my espn3 feed)

    WBS and Cat play together seamlessly. Can’t believe they mesh so well so early in the season.

  9. wufpup76 11/08/2013 at 8:31 PM #

    BC – Providence a one point game.

    Maryland within 5 late.

    Wake has rallied and is up 5 over the toothpaste.

    Well … this game seems to be all over but the crying….

    What did ya’ll think about the Battle of the Birds last night??

    Stanford ‘s O-line was f’ing awesome….

  11. wufpup76 11/08/2013 at 8:35 PM #

    Rebounding has been ok, but there hasn’t been a lot of it for either team.

    Perimeter defense has been the biggest bugaboo, along with some youthful lapses in play. That Baskin guy has killed us, so matchups will be really key for us this season.

    Really sloppy after getting up 27.

    Providence 82 — BC 78 — final

    Twerps down 1 with 12 seconds left….

    Wake up 3 with 9:32 left.

    I didn’t see the game Bill, but i understand Stanford RB had 45 carries.

    FSU with the inside track, and thank goodness b/c I don’t feel Ohio State should be seriously considered.

  14. BJD95 11/08/2013 at 8:39 PM #

    Turtles also lose, despite chance after chance. League coulda used that W.

    Maryland showed well against a formidable foe.

    Stanford was uber physical and I believe is a top 5 team.

    Bama has a tough road so don’t count the Cardinal out.

  16. BJD95 11/08/2013 at 8:41 PM #

    Stanford and Baylor each way better than tOSU if Bama slips up. FSU can be written in the championship bracket in ink.

  17. bill.onthebeach 11/08/2013 at 8:41 PM #

    ^^Pup that’s right…. Ducks got their wings clipped…
    but it all fairness… their QB was at 50-60% at best.

    And Baylor is for real.

    But I GOTTa go with the NOLES to take it all….

  18. Wulfpack 11/08/2013 at 8:41 PM #

    Realistically, I could see a FSU/Ohio State final.

  19. Wulfpack 11/08/2013 at 8:43 PM #

    Not sold on Baylor at all. And I don’t think OSU would deserve to be in, but the cards would likely fall that way with a Bama loss. Remember the SEC East opponent will be weak in ATL.

  20. bill.onthebeach 11/08/2013 at 8:44 PM #

    Am I right in thinking… at this point… ‘Bama has the toughest schedule left among the undefeated teams ??

  21. BJD95 11/08/2013 at 8:45 PM #

    Best game would be Bama/Noles, so really pulling for that to happen.

  22. Wulfpack 11/08/2013 at 8:45 PM #

    And FSU needs Miami to win the Coastal and not Duke. Another win over the Canes would provide much more oomph than over Duke.

  23. wufpup76 11/08/2013 at 8:45 PM #

    We have not looked good at all the last six minutes … but that seems to be youth and inexperience rather than indifference and entitlement.

  24. Wulfpack 11/08/2013 at 8:46 PM #

    Yes, Bill. By far. LSU this weekend. Aubie. And SEC East winner.

  25. bill.onthebeach 11/08/2013 at 8:47 PM #

    ^Odds are ‘Bama will lose one of those… I think.

    Looks like we might see some names we never heard of on the floor for the Pack at the PNC….

    Can we break a 100 ???
