Double U

11/17/2011 11:51:26 AM

How are they number 20 with a loss to cleveland state?

11/17/2011 11:53:34 AM

loss came after last poll.

[Edited on November 17, 2011 at 11:54 AM. Reason : I take that back, maybe it didn't, or maybe the result happened late Nov 13, poll released Nov 14]

[Edited on November 17, 2011 at 11:54 AM. Reason : early season rankings are complete bullshit anyway]

11/17/2011 11:53:52 AM

Getting Leslie back will help. Hopefully.

Any word on De Thaey? He can shoot from outside, something that is sorely needed while Wood is gone.

11/17/2011 11:59:29 AM

Well at least we can watch this after we get destroyed by Clemson

11/17/2011 12:01:34 PM

85-78 win.

11/17/2011 12:02:11 PM

i fear the damage was already done with the deleted topic that had its first two posts by HOOPS MALONE and pack_bryan

[Edited on November 17, 2011 at 12:05 PM. Reason : dancing L]

11/17/2011 12:05:21 PM

^5 No, they were around #7 before the loss and then dropped to 20.

It would be badass if they could some how show it on the big screens in the stadium after the football game

11/17/2011 12:07:58 PM

the stadium will be empty long before the end of the football game

11/17/2011 12:12:57 PM

so, I don't have TWC, I guess that means I can't watch ESPN3? I tried using a verizon login previously posted on TWW, but it no longer works.

I do have an xbox live account, can I watch it on my xbox?

[Edited on November 17, 2011 at 12:23 PM. Reason : ?]

11/17/2011 12:22:32 PM

I'm sure they could... I don't know if they'd technically be allowed to, I would think so though.

11/17/2011 12:23:02 PM

we've already been doomed to the dancing L thanks to JAMMIN ON THE HOT, so iop1 at least

11/17/2011 12:23:34 PM

I hope we victor.

11/17/2011 12:25:59 PM

for TWC people the game might show up on TWC 518/519/520 but I don't see it scheduled at the moment

11/17/2011 12:27:50 PM

11/17/2011 12:43:35 PM

i will be at a wedding, staring at my droid

11/17/2011 12:50:37 PM

^ sympathies...that is the worst

yeah i checked today, but it only has games listed up until 2:30 on saturday

i find it odd that State/Princeton makes it to ESPNU, but State/Vanderbilt gets ESPN3. i suppose there are more high-profile matchups and football games to bump the game off TV

11/17/2011 1:01:48 PM

yeah if there was no football it'd probably be on. final/consolation probably ends up on TV, although I think that's still TBD

[Edited on November 17, 2011 at 1:04 PM. Reason : think it's on ESPN3 no matter what.]

11/17/2011 1:03:06 PM

^ yea - whole lotta foosball

for all that TWC does wrong, it's pretty cool they put espn3 on TV

11/17/2011 1:05:42 PM

Yeah, my "reliant on crappy comcast" self is actually jealous of TWC. At least for their cable coverage.

11/17/2011 1:46:03 PM

ipo1. Dancing L if we can't shoot the 3 better that 1 for 13.

Dancing W if Calvin has stopped being a douche and plays like a boss.

11/17/2011 1:47:25 PM

Homecoming for Dennis Horner.

11/17/2011 1:48:22 PM

Shit. I have Directv. I can't get this fucking game. Someone hook it up with an ESPN3 login/pass please?!

11/17/2011 1:52:38 PM

Excitement?

In my basketball team?

11/17/2011 1:55:30 PM

Vandy is pissed. we still haven't developed our style with CJ leslie yet... gonna be tough to get the W. but its def possible with these fighters this year.

I did this during the Carolina fb game except with my windows phone

11/17/2011 2:28:06 PM

^Yup. My sister had the audacity to schedule her wedding over the ECU football game last year. It's always nice to see the Father of the Bride sitting there with a pocket radio and earbud.

Very excited for this game. I think it's going to be a tough one, but I'm happy with the team I saw last night.

11/17/2011 2:38:17 PM

if we win both games saturday i think i'm gonna pass out

11/17/2011 2:42:56 PM

^ me too. because i'll be getting drunk.

11/17/2011 2:47:19 PM

^^I'm willing to bet you're safe

gopack

11/17/2011 5:17:09 PM

Vandy = 93
State = 77

11/17/2011 5:21:15 PM

Assuming Wood is out, Johnson and Brown will need to step up from behind the arc. It'll be interesting to see Leslie for first time this season...

11/17/2011 5:33:45 PM

Not sure if it's been posted. And to freak everyone out. From deThaey's twitter:

WHATS IT ALL MEAN!!!?

11/17/2011 6:50:20 PM

I have no expectations for this game other than we will play hard. I think we get a close loss.

11/17/2011 6:54:31 PM

Here's what it means:

He's a college kid with a twitter account. It could mean he just found Community on NBC was shelved.

11/17/2011 7:02:04 PM

Or he's got the herp.

11/17/2011 7:15:06 PM

obvious starting lineup???

zo brown - PG or 1
cj williams - SG or 2
calvin leslie - SF or 3
painter - PF or 4/5
howell - PF or 4/5

or do we go smaller with alex johnson and no leslie or painter?

11/17/2011 7:45:46 PM

CJL will return and we will victor

11/17/2011 9:35:34 PM

anyone know if it's on TV yet?

11/17/2011 9:55:35 PM

Look, I know you're excited but you can't expect them to start a TV feed two days early.

That'd just be a waste of airspace!

11/17/2011 10:01:24 PM

^ lol'd.

11/17/2011 10:07:05 PM

nyuck nyuck nyuck srsly you guys

11/17/2011 10:38:19 PM

I doubt Leslie is in the starting lineup first game back. Even with Wood out.
