Kept it close and probably not much game-planning for this one.

Is the other team in the middle of their season and game planning USF?  Let's not make excuses.  They beat us.  Hopefully we learn from it.

Kind of crazy how far this team has come though, would anyone have been tracking this team in August one year ago if they were in Canada?  Here we are Jonesing for midnight madness already even with a promising football season 3 weeks away, good to have expectations again in both sports, I really don’t remember being this optimistic for both sports in one year ever.

If there was a spread for this game, pretty sure we would have covered it.

Will be interested to see the box for this one.

Disagree, no way we would have been 10 pt dogs to a bunch of hosers, eh?

Actually, the Canadian college rules are waaaaay different. They are always in mid-season form. We also weren't playing with a full squad. Not a bad showing all things considered. 

"Because basketball in the CIS is not a billion-dollar industry like it is in the NCAA, Carleton faces few regulations. For one, Smart is allowed to work with both the Ravens and the Ottawa Guardsmen, his youth team, which spends its summers playing AAU tournaments in the United States and serves as something of a feeder program for Carleton. Imagine John Calipari coaching elite high schoolers at the Peach Jam or the Adidas Super 64. That’s essentially what’s allowed to happen in Canada. “There’s not really a need to have those restrictions,” says Smart. “There’s not enough money in basketball here for us to have to deal with the street agents. And besides, in this entire country you have maybe 45 or 50 people who are professional basketball coaches. Are you really going to have rules where those people aren’t allowed to give back to the grass roots? You’re hurting the kids if you’re not allowing them to be developed by the coaches who really know the game.”

CIS players get five years of eligibility, allowing them more time to develop, and perhaps most important, schools face minimal restrictions on practice time. In the NCAA, players may spend no more than 20 hours a week on “athletically related activities” during the season and no more than eight hours a week in the offseason. In Canada, coaches face no limitations during the season, and though they’re unable to conduct full practices during the summer, they can still work with players one-on-one. “If it’s July and my best player wants to spend eight hours a day working with me in the gym, we can do that,” Smart says."

Not saying they are not a good team however getting double digits to cover is a lot of points when you play baskets, all I am sayin.  I could not care less if they win or lose big this summer as long as they enjoy themselves and do not get injured.
