Really depends on whether or not Yetna is healthy. 

Yeah those teams are going to be very difficult to beat even with a healthy Yetna, nevermind an unhealthy one. I say we should be happy going 2-3 and on cloud 9 if USF can go 3-2 or better with that stretch of games coming up

Great question. Hou coach will get a serious look as they have been playing unreal. However, this program buried six feet deep and now they are top 4/5 in the conference...I can’t see how BG does not get it. 

That's what I hope the voters look at. Houston is having a great season and Sampson is a great HC just like Cronin at Cincy. However both of those teams, along with UCF where rated either 1, 2, or 3 and all got 1st place votes by some writer{s} and coaches in the preseason. USF was pretty much picked last or next to last by those same people. A top 5 finish should get CBG the award in a close vote with Sampson. If USF keeps winning and so how gets into the top 3 which is still possible, then CBG should win it unanimously.

Yeah they blew past me last week I said 15. 

Yeah it's been amazing. Question for you. Do you think that Coach Gregory is already the COY in the AAC? To me he is but I'm thinking a top 5 league finish locks it up

Yesss gutsy win from a gusty team without [playing their best ball game. Just love David Collins. 17 wins, well that passes my prediction.

Boy my high blood pressure

NO 3s PLEASE.

Missing FTs by USF has prolonged this nail biting game

Poor rebounding is killing us 

Not making shots is killing USF.

Except Williams

Yeah they just can't lose track of him behind the 3pt line

Now all the ECU main scorers are out of this game. Let's take advantage if you are USF

But over the last 10 minutes, they’re definitely out scoring ECU, right?

You're not making since. In under 4 minute TO is and always been the stretch. USF hasn't made a field goal in like ever. Even the announcers are talking about it. Thank GOD we are going to OT. Now let's win this game

Right now that flagrant foul call is HUGE!!!

ECU had a 10 point lead more than halfway into this game. So it would seem USF has outplayed ECU “down the stretch” in order to make up a 10 point deficit.

USF has scored a FG in like 4 minutes!!! They are losing because of TOs and bad shooting

Need some FTs

Wow a Fragrant foul at this stage of the game and in USF home floor. Cannot believe they made that call

Need a great defensive stop

Just now, JTrue said:

Haven’t we outscored them by 10 “down the stretch”?

Huh

ECU looks better down the stretch then USF and that's why they are winning

Dangerous time for USF. Two bad turnovers and now fouling a 3pt shooter. Under 4 minutes to play, crunch time and can't make mistakes.

David Collins is such a good player. Truly one of the best all around players in the conference.

Rideau making some terrible decisions

This game is so important as we got a  gauntlet of teams coming up...we could lose 4 very quickly if we are not playing hard 

THIS.... a game that the Bulls have to win because it's easily the most winnable opponent left on the schedule. The Bulls have done a good job of staying focus most of the season but they are not so far this game. Rideau was benched by Coach Gregory because as the team PG and leader he is expected to be ready to play and clearly he was not. 

If the Bulls aren't prepared to go on their best scoring spree of the season then they will lose this game and get blown out at home for the first time this season.

Going to have to tough this one out 

Yep they are not looking good and are using a lot of energy with very little results. Collins is all the team has right now as both Brown and Lang are off from 3pt range. Durr is to weak in the post. Again Yetna is very missed

Isn't he better when we are playing more of a zone defense (not that Gregory likes that style-- but he seems better when he can define his area and stop chasing).

Probably but Coach isn't going to play enough zone defense for him to look average on the floor.

OMG is their a lower basketball IQ player on the team than Kiir? 

I am not a fan of any front court players outside of Yetna. I will take a wait and see on Durr because he's a freshman. Maricevic is not a good player
