For those of you looking for something positive about the season thus far on this cold Monday morning, not that it will matter in the long run.

Watched it last night.

This is positive. Like you said, not sure what it means in the end but is something to help right now.

I was watching that game in shock. The whole time I was thinking "even with Sammy, how did we beat these guys?". Not sure what to make of it.

A big plus of late Sunday night after the football game is the basketball on FSN

Just means USC has gotten better, we have not but still hope some of our other players can jump in and help out Andrew and Dodie offensively, W.Lemon has to an extent but we need inside scoring bad.

Couple quick hits on this result...

Texas lacks a true big. But their forwards are competent, but overmatched by USC's 2 cogs. So it was a favorable matchup for the Trojans.

On top of that, it was also basically their first meaningful home game of the season against a ranked opponent, as well as their first home game in almost 2 weeks.

USC's defense kept Texas off their game. Which USC is not an awful defensive team. They basically can only score in 2's though, so that limits their offense.

Just wondering how Texas was able to beat UIUC and their bigs.

Just wondering how Texas was able to beat UIUC and their bigs.

UIUC's bigs are weak. They're all perimeter-oriented and prefer to shoot jumpers rather than bang inside. That's part of the reason we were able to beat them last year. Ironically Will Egolf was the best big man on the floor in that game. I often wonder what happened to that player.

Bradley > USC > Texas > Illinois

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

Exactly, college hoops is a game of matchups.

Look at BU in 2006. I'd like BU's chances against any other team in the Sweet 16 that season. But we drew the one team that was just like us...only bigger, better, badder and faster.

Exactly, If we were in the top half of that bracket, we beat Duke in the s16 and don't get the chance to be humiliated tomorrow

Memphis was definitely the worst possible matchup, but all things considered, the breaks broke even. Although in that same bracket, I think UCLA would've run us out of the building too.

Now, Gonzaga on the other hand....
