6-0 start, #13 in both AP and Coaches polls. Only two games on the schedule we aren't likely to be the favorite to win (#1 ND, @#5 Louisville) and one tossup (@#12 Syracuse). All three of those come in the last six games of the regular season.


Will a mod please change the title of the thread to 2018-2019, and then lock/suspend/delete me for being a lazy copy-paster.

7-0. Beat Michigan 66-65.

RPI #5

11/30/2018 10:16:14 PM

*66-55

12/1/2018 12:26:58 AM

Wes Moore is an excellent Xs and Os coach. If he can keep recruiting at a high level, this team is always going to be competitive.

12/1/2018 9:42:40 AM

They've got a couple 5* girls coming in next season.

12/1/2018 2:28:21 PM

9-0. #10 AP and Coaches polls. #5 RPI.

12/6/2018 3:33:19 PM

MOORE

12/6/2018 3:54:23 PM

Nice thread title

12/6/2018 3:59:47 PM

Ahahahahaha 17-18

12/6/2018 4:02:06 PM

^, ^^ yeah, I already called myself out on that

12/6/2018 6:23:30 PM

Oh I know it’s just funny. Not making fun of you.

12/6/2018 7:00:41 PM

First 11-0 start since the 1999-2000 season. Still #10 in both major polls. #3 RPI.

Our next win will be 900th in program history.

Only two more OOC games to go, @Chattanooga and vs. Davidson. The start of the ACC slate should be smooth sailing until February 14. Then we play #15 Syracuse, #2 ND, and #3 Louisville, plus games against rivals Wake and UNC, all in a span of 2 weeks.

12/20/2018 6:21:54 PM

12-0. 900 program wins.

12/27/2018 6:09:39 PM

So they still use RPI in WBB?

12/27/2018 6:56:29 PM

Correct, as of right now RPI will still be used to seed all NCAA competitions other than the men's basketball tournament.

Wes Moore’s gotta get a better haircut before they become a top 5 team

1/3/2019 11:29:15 PM

Incorrect. Wes Moore has a great haircut.

1/4/2019 12:08:17 AM

is that the official position of Home Haircuts LLC?

1/4/2019 12:21:07 AM

it would appear the women's team is pretty fucking good.

[Edited on January 4, 2019 at 6:35 AM. Reason : men's and women's...27-1 combined? not bad]

1/4/2019 6:34:56 AM

Beat Duke, tied for best start in school history

1/4/2019 9:24:28 AM

How the fuck are our women projected as a two seed in the tourney with that resume?

1/4/2019 9:40:19 AM

We won the battle but appear to have lost the war. Our leading scorer went down with about a minute to go with an apparent knee injury and Wes said "it didn't look good".

1/4/2019 9:44:24 AM

PI!!!1!

Quote :

"While there is no official announcement on the severity of her injury at this point, Grace Hunter was carried off the court with 1:46 remaining in the matchup with her right leg immobilized. Hunter did not return in the game after going down hard on a layup attempt, keeping the Wolfpack from relishing the win on Thursday night during postgame. If Hunter's injury does end up costing her time on the court, it would leave the Pack without its top scoring option at 14.6 points and second-leading rebounder with 6.9 rebounds per game. With State already losing starting point guard Kaila Ealey for the season due to injury."

1/4/2019 10:06:30 AM

Man that sucks. This also happened what, two years ago?

Are you saying we should be lower or higher?

1/4/2019 2:48:12 PM

I'd think we would be a projected 1 seed

1/4/2019 11:27:00 PM

Fair or not I don't think they're going to put three teams from the same conference in the top 4. Plus our team is comparatively untested so far SoS wise. If we beat Louisville then we're in business, but I don't see it happening even if we're at full strength.

Looking ahead, playing @Syracuse is also going to be tough (they only lost to Oregon by 2 on the road). But we have to make it that long without any WTF losses to keep our standing anyway.

1/5/2019 7:53:34 AM

Grace Hunter out for the year with torn ACL. That's a killer injury for this team.

1/6/2019 2:08:49 PM

1/6/2019 4:10:17 PM

SO frustrating to see Grace go out like that. I'm hopeful that the momentum of the success so far will help the team going forward, but I'm really afraid this will be a huge "what could have been" season for them. Ugh.

1/7/2019 8:20:10 AM

They still beat BC to go 15-0, best start in program history.

1/7/2019 11:05:43 AM

I think we're still better than most of the ACC competition, we're just in the upper-middle now instead of the lower-top. We already had very little chance against ND and Louisville, and now add Syracuse and FSU to that list.

1/7/2019 5:55:18 PM

Beat Pitt 63-34. But Armani Hawkins got hurt tonight. Injuries are piling up.

16-0, only undefeated team left in the country.

1/10/2019 10:44:13 PM

UVA up on Sunday, they're a little worse than mediocre and we should still beat them too despite injuries. If we're 17-0 I think we jump up to the #5 spot. Oregon's only loss is to MichSt, who we beat.

1/11/2019 12:53:32 AM

Hawkins torn ACL too

1/13/2019 2:36:04 PM

They win again

Yawn.

1/13/2019 6:37:15 PM

they need an ACL strength and conditioning coach.

1/13/2019 6:54:13 PM

Smashed Virginia 66-38, 16-0 (3-0)

1/15/2019 11:49:07 AM

18-0

1/20/2019 2:44:19 PM

looks like the Hokies did not have large talons

1/20/2019 2:54:08 PM

I mean, they're turkeys.

Fun fact: they weren't known as "Hokies" until the 80's. Previously they were the Gobblers, hence the turkey mascot. Hokie is just a made up word that has no actual meaning.

1/20/2019 3:22:08 PM

Rough that the game had to go to overtime, but outscoring VT 11-2 in OT shows the depth and stamina that still remains even after the injuries.

1/20/2019 5:18:18 PM

I obviously hope I'm wrong, but I think the win streak ends today.

1/24/2019 5:25:32 PM

You wrong. 19-0

1/24/2019 8:50:25 PM

Oh hell yeah

1/24/2019 9:00:44 PM

So happy to be wrong, but it was close. 3rd quarter defense was on fire and made the difference.

1/24/2019 9:09:40 PM

3 point shooting was atrocious tonight. 3-22

1/24/2019 11:09:30 PM

^All shooting. 38% from the floor which I think is the worst team performance of the season so far.

1/24/2019 11:27:40 PM

1/25/2019 9:57:53 AM
