The concept of a moral victory for SC State left looooooong ago.

So "BTN+" doesn't actually mean even better BTN hoops?

Might need to update this...

McJunkins sounds like a name fans would come up with to describe a ref who made bad calls. It's like the exam came with the answer sheet.

I'm not sure if this thread will be of interest for other people throughout the season, but I'll start it and we'll see where it goes. Maybe it will be useful for people as we have four new members joining the conference next season. Or it's just a waste of time. The "recent thread" participants will determine the success or demise. No hard feelings either way. As we stand today (December 28): Oregon 8-3 (0-0) #69 NET 2-2 vs. P6 Win over Michigan at home 13 point win over common opponent FAMU Plays vs. USC next (Dec. 28) UCLA 5-6 (0-0) #172 NET Lost to Ohio State (60-67) and Maryland (60-69) 0-4 vs. P6 Best win is vs. a non-P5 opponent Plays at Oregon State next (Dec. 28) USC 6-5 (0-0) #80 NET 13 point win over common opponent KSU 2-2 vs. P6 Plays at Oregon next (Dec. 28) Washington 8-3 (0-0) #58 NET Win over #7 Gonzaga at home 1-0 vs. P6 Plays at Colorado next (Dec. 29)

Sure would be nice if they could raise the temperature at PBA a few times this year.

Well....it is December. Pandering to a basketball audience with very little data and substance behind it at this point. Just about as relevant as preseason rankings.

Christmas falls on a Monday, so here we are with our weekly update on HHCC standings. We're not out of the woods just yet. We have one more non-conference game remaining, and a cupcake at that, before we start off the long conference season. Let's take it for what it's worth; whatever happens, let's be sure to enjoy this season. And while we're at it, enjoy the holiday season; whether with family, friends, or yourself. Happy holidays from the HHC community!

*0-3, preferably.

Not that he's.....wrong. But he's one to talk!

There was a stat that just came out which said: "The league-leading 2016-17 Warriors' offensive rating would rank 17th this year. Offenses just keep getting better and better." Offensive Ratings: 114.8 for the Warriors in 2016-17 115.0 for the Warriors in 2023-24 (#16; Timberwolves 114.0 #17)

Corn - 80 Dogs - 62

Huskers- 83 "Dawgs" - 63

I don't......know how to feel about this.

Well, the bar is pretty low. You just have to go 4-8 in your first year to become the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year. He's clearly overachieving.

Can we just go ahead and retitle this thread to "The Big Ten is Down"?

Does that include fish eyes as well?

Or maybe it's less sinister. The more games that are played across the league, the more penalized a team like this will be even with a single additional loss. When you have so few data points to work with, weird things can show up. I'm a big proponent of absolutely zero Top 25 rankings or any stats for the early part of a season. I haven't dug deep into it or invested the time yet, but how many times early rankings were absolutely wrong is astonishing; all performative to the fans. Take TCU football last year as a prime example.

Must be nice being rich.
