It's so absurd I can't even be mad. Disappointed, sure. It's no doubt a bad loss but at least it's early in the season. Or maybe my spirit is still so broken from Saturday that I just cant feel any sports related emotions right now.

Kenpom had Kentucky winning by 25, year's first 99% upset. (Some years don't get even one of those.)

Auburn 70, South Alabama 69 trip report. Was announced as 10K, USA's biggest crowd ever, but wasn't quite full. Ton of Auburn fans there of course but USA got impressively loud -- felt like a real road game. For now Auburn has plenty of raw defensive talent to get by with but is still finding an offensive identity -- guard play had to take a step back from Jared Harper and Bryce Brown but I didn't think it would be this visible with as much playing time as J'Von McCormick and Samir Doughty had coming in. Isaac Okoro won the game with a falling-down four-foot and-one with two seconds left; you'll know his name pretty soon if you don't already, looks like a one and done. Babatunde "Stretch" Akingbola, 6'8" from Nigeria with one year of American HS ball, got his first playing time when Austin Wiley and Anfernee McLemore got into foul trouble early in the second half and scored a monster block like four seconds into his career. I was near the top of the arena and gasped at the dude's wingspan. 10/10 would watch again. e: Bruce Pearl owns https://twitter.com/JoshVitale/status/1194454930477715457 KICK BAMA KICK fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Nov 13, 2019 |

Basketball is cool because that kind of thing can just happen one game. It shouldn't but it can. E: I mean the upset but also that is a cool trip report.

I covered a high school game of his three seasons ago. Okoro, too, as they were on the same team.

Peanut President posted:hello, as the forums resident purple aces fan: lol Let's see if I got all this right. Before we move on let’s sit here for just one more moment and realize that the Evansville, Indiana Purple Aces marched into Lexington and beat mother loving #1 Kentucky. The school has 2000 students. The basketball team went 11-21 last season. The only thing I know that they have other than my man CUNTLIFE is a head coach who played at Kentucky and won a championship and then played in the NBA for several years. He just happens to have been born in Evansville, Indiana. Unreal. Please tell me more about the Purple Aces. kiimo fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Nov 13, 2019 |

The Purple Aces were a power in the old College Division, what became Division II. They one 5 or 6 titles in the 60s, their best player was Jerry Sloan who went on to play for the Bulls and coached the Jazz forever. In the 70s they moved up to Division I, but in the late 70s the entire team died in a plane crash. In the 80s they joined the Midwest Collegiate Conference with teams like Xavier, Dayton, Butler, and Saint Louis. They made the tournament a few times in the late 80s, making it to the round of 32 once. They played football in the old Division I-AAA, it was a division for non-scholarship programs. When that went away they folded the team and alumni donors went away which kneecapped the basketball program, hurt the baseball program which was decent, and really hosed over the soccer team who were consistently ranked nationally. When the MCC fell apart UE moved to Missouri Valley and were stomped on a regular basis by either Southern Illinois, Northern Iowa and / or Creighton, whichever was the mid major power at the time. They did win the conference tournament once in the early 2000s as a 4 or 5 seed, only to be spanked by Kansas in the first round. Other than that it has been a lot of .500 ish seasons and several oh god, why are they still in Division I seasons. Last year they started decent, but ended up losing 9 of 10. This season they were taken to OT by cross town Division II school Southern Indiana (who admittedly is a pretty good DII school who should make the tournament this year) and nearly blew a 22 point halftime lead at home versus Ball State this past weekend.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:I could have the number wrong but he did wind up back in Nigeria after you saw him and couldn't come back to finish HS in America because of some problem with his visa IIRC. That's wild. Turns out that Akingbola played two years of high school, but not his senior year because of the visa issue. He and Okoro were already considered huge prospects when I saw them in 2017.

So this Chris Clarke dude that Texas Tech borrowed from Virginia Tech is pretty fun: https://twitter.com/BulliesBroadway/status/1195119252270977028 This year's offense basically runs through him as an undersized 4. I really do hope he gets his 0 point, 10 assist, 10 rebound game sometime this year.

Otzelberger is just another failed UNLV HC in waiting. I love that there's more years of hearing "wait until he gets these very specific players in the program that's the only way his offense can be run."

Recruit talk: Sounds like Bruce Pearl dropped the bag at the last minute this morning and that Auburn are going to get Chris Moore out of West Memphis. Blargh. Arkansas looked like they were going to have a solid class next year of 5 in state guys but it might be 3, now, since Jailyn Williams and Moore have been viewed by a lot of people as a package deal. Dang it Auburn

Tennessee with a nice win tonight against a good Washington team in Toronto. Should be ranked next week. I worry a little about depth, but this team should be in the thick of it in the SEC race.

Kansas 5. North Carolina 6. Maryland 7. Virginia 8. Gonzaga 9. Kentucky 10. Ohio State 11. Oregon 12. Texas Tech 13. Seton Hall 14. Arizona 15. Utah State 16. Memphis 17. Villanova 18. Xavier 19. Auburn 20. Tennessee 21. VCU 22. Texas 23. Colorado 24. Baylor 25. Washington

I mean, Kentucky is not being punished hard enough, and Virginia lacks an offense, but there's not room to fit a bunch more folks in the top 10. Maybe you can say they should be swapped with Oregon?

This Arizona team looks better at the start than the Ayton team, even though that team was older with theoretically more talent. That might be potentially from having an easier schedule to start and also not a tournament to get embarrassed in. But, I think this team has a better grasp on running an offense than that team at least. But I have no idea what criteria they use to rate teams this time of year.

SBNation has a writer on staff from Evansville and he with Walter McCarty the week before the UE / UK game, and he wrote a drat good article: https://www.sbnation.com/2019/11/18..._source=twitter And this was a good article from him on the 40th anniversary of the plane crash that killed the team and coaching staff right as they moved up to Division I: https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2017/12/13/16770632/university-of-evansville-aces-plane-crash

That's rough. Looking at the crash photo, it's unbelievable that any of them were alive after impact. At least two made it for a few minutes longer. Marshall just hit its 49th anniversary, as did Wichita State.
