How do you get under my skin before New Years? Simple. Publish something on ESPN that seems to dis us again.
OK...I can't read the whole article because its "Insider." But I get the headline, and first couple of paragraphs.
Opening teaser:Sure UNC is a blue blood. But, also cheaters U. Respect? Wofford beats you at home?We took our first shot at this before the season. Now, with the benefit of a full nonconference slate, it's time for a few adjustments. Translation: It's time to pay more respect to Texas A&M, Arizona State and North Carolina.
And then this from the first couple of paragraphs, published at 9:13 AM this morning:
Seriously? Didn't we play 3 conference games yesterday.The ACC has had one conference game, the Big Ten has had about a dozen -- but the rest of the power conferences have yet to get underway.
Screw 'em.

(Maybe someone who is an "insider" can tell me if the whole article was more balanced.

Sort of from left field but with how many 3's Marquette put up last night I was curious about how many they average a game as a team compared to the rest of D1. Stats say they've attempted (385) which is good for 13th most thus far. What I saw that blew my mind is leading the country in attempts from deep is Savannah St. who've taken (563) so far this season!! 2nd in attempts is South Carolina Upstate with (453). For reference, we are at (282) this year.
Useless knowledge I guess and Savannah St. is really bad and hitting under 30% of those. It just sort of blew my mind that a team exists that shoots the three that much or a coach that allows it.

There's only two good shots in basketball: a shot at the rim, or a 3-pointer.
I'm happy to see both Xavier and Marquette realize that.

Southern Illinois also won at Northern Iowa. We don't want to completely break other teams' wills!

The only "good" shot is one that goes in.
