I have a bad feeling about this. Hard to see this limping team beating Temple twice in a season.

Temple is favored by 2.

This is probably our best chance to get a win the rest of the season. Not your typical Temple team. We should win easily. Bet the farm take Tulane and the points at home to end the double digit history making 7 game losing streak.

You might want to wager ShowMe's farm but not the one your grandfather bequeathed to you. Temple will win, cover the spread (now 3 points) and the total will go UNDER (o/u is now 137).

My stone-cold locks took a hit on my last bet and lowered my season record to 3-1. I agree with ShowMe in that Temple is not very good, but have you watched the Wave recently? Tonight I make a big financial comeback by betting ShowMe's farm on Temple and laying two points. Final score, Temple 72, Tulane 64. It's a GreenLantern-stone-cold-lock.

Here are another couple predictions:
  • Coach Hunter begins to walk back his pre-season statement about walking on water and claims he was misquoted. What he really said was that he would walk 'through' water on his flooded Uptown street in order to get to the gym and tell the team that the beatings would continue if their morale remained low.
  • In the first half, the cheerleaders leave the fieldhouse in tears after Hunter approaches the squad and screams in their faces after a poorly executed cheer.
  • Mike Dunleavy returns home from his broker after investing another large Tulane contract settlement check, microwaves a large bag of popcorn and snuggles into his easy chair to enjoy the game.
  • While channel-surfing in his Monaco penthouse apartment, Scott Cowen momentarily comes upon the game, smiles to himself and thinks of how he tried to warn the school that investing money in athletics was futile and how much more would have been gained by putting the funds in the Cowen Institute-Educational Research Center.

I know it's Mardi Gras. But if Tulane never wore uniforms that include purple and gold again, it would be too soon.

Watching on a stream that for some reason tonight is not consistent. Wave up 12 with about 11 minutes left. They're not showing the Tulane huddles during timeout, is Hunter involved tonight, or is it like Saturday's game?

This is brutal.

66-66 28 seconds left.

We cannot close out a win. Brutal.

We do have some decent young players to build our roster around.

Post game interview with Coach H. I still believe he's the man for Tulane. However, he needs to take a Xanax before each game.

I didn’t watch but honestly . . . Relax. This is like the football season, we had some
Immediate success and have struggled. Except this team went WINLESS in conference last year and have a good ooc win and a couple in conference wins. We will win a couple more, but honestly stop with this hyperbole. I love that our coach hates to lose and brings fevered intensity. I never want to hear about Cowen and (in a couple years) Dunleavy again. They have no bearing on Tulane anymore, And I Hope Cowen is fearlessly helping Uconn into the toilet.

I am 100% behind Ron Hunter.

I thought Coach Hunter’s remarks about point guard leadership and experience were telling. With all of the talk of the transfer students Hunter brought in this season, the biggest disappointment has to be Walker (a Dunleavy (or more accurately, Tony Chiles) guy) who is the only true point guard on the team. When he was solid early in the season, the team ran smoothly. Since he’s lost his way, the team has struggled.

Ron complaining about not having a point guard he has to take blame. He wasn’t that interested in keeping Caleb Daniels and the kid from France left mid season because of lack of PT so he’s now gone also. Hopefully he signs a couple keeper PG’s for next year.

Evidence that he didn’t want to keep Daniels (who’s a very good player but not really a point guard either)?

The evidence is that he’s not here. Daniels would have helped true PG or not.

Of course he would have helped but that’s proof of nothing.

It was very clear that Daniels was looking to leave before Hunter even got appointed. If anything Hunter’s hiring gave him more to think about but the Villanova offer spoke for itself.

No. I disagree. He wasn’t looking to leave. Hunter just wasn’t that interested in him. Hunter wanted to run off every player from the 4 win squad. So he looked elsewhere.
