Does this opponent even have an RPI??

 

[SpaceRaider]

Reinhardt played Troy and lost 111-46 earlier in the season (Nov 14). They also played Milligan, a common opponent, and won by 4 points.

 

[BRaiderDave]

So maybe we can win this one, huh?

 

[Hop45]

Maybe..........

 

[SpaceRaider]

Maybe..........

It's going to be a struggle to get to double figures in wins. I am beginning to think a dozen wins is out of reach. Just not seeing any kind of fight left but in one or two individuals.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Is anyone else up to a contest to guess announced attendance tomorrow night?
We know it won’t be actual tickets sold or butts in seats.

 

[MTTim]

Sure. I'll go with 2200 announced, 975 actual.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

3,000 announced because of who’s counting.
1,250 actually in the house.

Shoot me. I’m an optimist. 😂

Is this one of those game shows where if you guess too high you lose? If so, I revise my actual to 401.

[SpaceRaider]

They played a game and won 105-72, completed just a few minutes ago at home...

 

[ewglenn]

I will be there plus one

 

[FranklinRaider315]

You and Kingaling???? 🤭

 

[sWiley]

Season's over. When you ruin your record, RPI, NET, whatever ranking you want to use before you even enter conference play.....then what's the point?

The team is bad and the record is even worse. Time to start over.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

I guess this is still a mid-season “exhibition week” before CUSA play begins. LaTech is playing Dallas Christian and their record / game info-preview is just as non-existent on my CBS Sports app as the MTSU / Reinhardt game.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is playing games that actually matter.

It is streaming on ESPN+ at 6:30 for those who still like to watch pro rasslin’. 😂

I'd rather watch reruns of the remake of Charlie's Angels.

I wish you or one of the other 500 in attendance tonite would walk down and take a seat in one of the numerous empty courtside chairs next to our BOT Chairman just to see what happens. 😂😂

I don’t have a wheel barrel big enough for the amount of balls that would take.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Maybe Hop45 or SpaceRaider are up to the challenge. 😂😂😂

Way too introverted to publicly stir the pot that much!! I do know the Mayor well enough to talk to him down on the floor, if he is there.

Speaking of Mayor, what’s the latest in the spat between Murfreesboro and MT over the rental properties?

Last I heard was they were going to fix them up to be compliant.

 

[BRaiderDave]

Better to ask for forgiveness rather than for permission, I guess.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

I’ll be curious to see who the broadcast team will be tonight and, if they will even physically be in Murphy or calling it remotely using the same live stream we’ll be watching. 😂

 

[SpaceRaider]

47-21 half time

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Well they both oughta have plenty of confidence. LaTech blew out NCCAA (National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association) Div. II member Dallas Christian tonight by 41.

Shameful.

Who benefits from these games? Seriously.

The patsies.

 

[Brew_Raider]

We are really showing that NAIA school with a losing record, that counts this as an exhibition, what big boy basketball is about!

Seriously, they don’t count this as a real game and neither does the NCAA NET. Yet somehow it’s a W for CNM……

 

[ewglenn]

I counted 723 people in the stands just now. That’s including 25 for the band.

He’s not fooling us and neither is Massaro.

MTTim was all over it. First guess was 975 but revised it to 401. Well done!’😂

Probably the biggest crowd ever to watch a Reinhardt game.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

I'm all for playing a lower team just before conference play begins. "Should" give the guys a rest, a chance to try new schemes, new looks, play the bench, etc. But....I don't think it should be a NAIA school. We shouldn't be playing anyone that doesn't count towards NET, especially in what is typically a one bid league. Every team should be wanting to build a resume in case they blow it in the tourney.

Games like this or Grambling women winning 159-18 don't do anyone any good.

Clearly I didn’t count workers, people walking around the track, people in line for concessions, or anyone on the floor but I’d say roughly 1100 total were in the building tonight if you added them in.
