Men's B-Ball: Nation's 3rd longest winning streak!

[Doc]

. . . that's if you go by time since last loss rather than number of wins.

By my count, only 11 schools in D-1 finished last season with a victory (national champ, NIT champ, and nine others without conference tourneys or who didn't qualify for one), and eight have already gone down to defeat this year.  Only Florida and TAMU-CC have gone longer without a loss.

Also, for what it's worth, with Georgia Tech's impending loss tonight, the number of unbeatens will dwindle to just 60.  Several more to go down before we take the court again.  Still on that list: UCF, Greenberg's Hokies, upcoming opponents Richmond, MoSt, TAMU-CC, Wake Forest, and six other Big East schools.

What does this mean?  Well, about 8 years ago we took a winning streak in to mid-December and got some national attention before Tennessee knocked us off at home in OT.  It didn't, however, get us any votes or any extra conference wins.  Still, I'll take any positive spotlight over those "only team to not win a conference game. . ." tags they were flashing on the ESPN ticker last year.

let's talk in jan

And we get a chance to stop the TAMU-CC streak ourselves in Las Vegas.  

Nice work Doc... if the whole medicine thing doesn't work out, you'll have a fine career as a sports information director!

[Ricky the Bull]

Doc,

I'm not sure if you saw the tape, but you got some long face time during the USF/UL game after our lone touchdown!

[Guest BasketBull.]

Doc, did you keep that cup at Louisville?  ;D ESPNU showed you looking around for used cups.  ;D

[Doc]

Ha!!  Yes I kept the L-Ville cup to add to my Big East collection.  Haven't seen the tape.  I got pretty excited after that TD and I guess that comes from watching too many AZ Cardinals games where TD-onside kick-TD-onside kick-TD combos are usually required in garbage time.  One of these days I'll see it actually happen. . .

Mike Adamle was calling you "Inspector Gadget" because of your hat and overcoat.

it wasn't funny but it was nice seeing you bro.

[The Sheriff]

I got a good laugh out of it Doc... too bad he didn't realize you're a gyno... he should have called you Inspect-her Gadget. It was good seeing you get some face time!

[ChiTownBull]

too bad he didn't realize you're a gyno... he should have called you Inspect-her Gadget.
