they [NYU] have played high level competion.

I would probably argue with you about this statement if this had been before the conference season started, but considering we are 7 games into conference play, I guess you can make this statement.

i was referring strictly to conference play, but fair point.

I'm sick of hearing about the refs in the WashU/NYU game. If you were there you would know that NYU is a dirty streetball team. Every one of those fouls was deserved.

[Pat Coleman]

turnovers mean nothing, points off turnovers are what count so get me that number if you want to make an argument.

It's on the box score he linked if you would look:

Points off turnovers-NYUM 14,WASHUM 30.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeah, I'm sure NYU relaxes their strict admissions standards for a couple of "dirty streetballers."

[hugenerd]

I am not a huge fan of that statement either (and it could be interpreted in different ways depending on how you want to look at it).  Not something you would expect from an AKP president who is supposed to uphold the "core values".

Any predictions for tomorrows games?

[Pat Coleman]

Nope, but looking forward to it.

I am going to predict that NYU does not have 4 starters foul out.

An extremely italic prediction.

Bold, not so much.

While I'd love to say otherwise, I'm not convinced that WashU can sweep this weekend. The Bears are an excellent team, but I'm not sure they are good enough to go 14-0 in the UAA. Not that there ever really has been a team good enough to go 14-0 in the UAA. Anyhow, I do think WUSTL will take the NYU game, 74-68. Brandeis will take at least one this weekend. If they lose Friday, I think they beat us. If they win Friday, I think they might be pretty dejected about the plight of their season and WashU steals one. So I say the Bears go 1-1 on the weekend which would be absolutely fine, assuming UC gets beaten as well.

This weekend is significant because it likely marks the final time that UC and WU can lose significant ground in the league standings. Both teams will sweep the following weekend, and are assured of at least one (good chance for 2) win on the Carnegie/Rochester trip. That would set up an epic battle in St. Louis for the league title on the final weekend of league action.

I've never actually heard that joke before.  I'll keep it in mind.

[mark_reichert]

While I'd love to say otherwise, I'm not convinced that WashU can sweep this weekend.

Given how close the games were in St. Louis, I'd say that's a safe bet.  I'd love to see them so it, I'm just not expecting it.

NYU must have really practiced not fouling this week.  According to the audio broadcast, NYU and their band of "dirty streetballers" (quoting SyvertsenFan23)  have only 8 fouls at the half.
