On the Cowboys’ bigs. Boynton’s 100th win and winning the bubble battle.
If they would’ve just taken care of business against Southern Illinois, UCF, and Virginia Tech they would be sitting on a 16-6 overall record and 4-5 in the toughest conference in the country. Even if they would go 7-11 or 8-10 in the conference they probably would still be in the tournament with 19-20 wins. Those early ones are crucial to win. Now they have to make up for it by probably going 5-4 the rest of the way.
It’s a complete beatdown. zerOU was NEVER in the game really. Boone has taken off, something some of us thought he would do. I always thought Keylan was going to get there also, and his stats at UoP are pretty good thus far: 12.8 PPG / 4.2 reb / 45.8% FG%. Cisse was a manimal out there, blocking shots and intimiating shooters, as well as on offense.
I find it hard to believe the LandSquatters beat Bama.
