    Im not the only one. Look at ken pom. They are mid teens there and alan boston has them close to 10 too, as well as other respected handicappers

    Based on what? Who did St. Louis beat this year? Lost in their lone game vs. Temple. Lost to New Mexico. Lost to Rhode Island. No signature wins. Not the resume of a Top-10 team at all.

    I actually did play in college. I would describe my role in college as mop up reliever. But at least it was something.

    That being said, I had a very close relationship with my high school team, and our high school team was probably the caliber of some college teams. We went 48-1 my freshman year, 46-2 my sophomore year... won 3 state championships in my time in high school and was ranked 2nd in all of high school baseball according to baseball america one year. A 36-0 team from California beat out our 48-1... and I didn't cry like that. Simply reflected on the years spent. Not everyone has to cry like a baby to show they care.

    Kenpom is not always great to use because teams that push leads and don't let up in blow outs will obviously have better statistical numbers.

    Majerus was choked-up because some kid grabbed the last piece of pizza.

    I like the kids passion. Obviously cares. It would be nice if more ball players cared as much.

    Funny part is when it pans out at the end and shows a teammate and the coach just sitting their silent. Awkward.

    Good to see the kid cares though.

    Capre Dime for the muthafukking WIN!!

    are you guys retards? wtf is this world coming to?

    it's called being a man. crying like a little bitch is called being a woman. unreal how you guys are praising that pussy.


    can you imagine that guy when you have to circle the wagons and the Indians are coming for scalps? guy would run out to the Indians, kneel down, then raise his rump up and say "let's be friends.... HAVE SOME!!"

    guy is crying like a little bitch over a basketball game. this is what the US produces ... a 6'9" gigantic pussy who cries like a bitch at the drop of a hat.

    this is all b/c the US got soft. no more fukking John Wayne. one man had a dream so the country can have a fukking nightmare. fukked the US up pretty good

    can't wait to watch that bitch/St.Louis baller on The View next week being awarded 'The Man Most In Touch With His Emotions' award.

    Saint Louis was in the top 20 on every reliable set of power ratings out there, WAY ahead of Temple. No way Saint Louis should have been a 9-seed and Temple a 5.

First 12
