Room of Stink

Imagine this:
You have to watch your favorite college basketball team on the tube with Mike Tyson and Tony Kornheiser as the commentators. The mute and volume buttons are broken.
Alright, I’ve prepared you. Enjoy the debut of the Room of Stink.
Winthrop
(1-9, no DI wins yet) Though Winthrop’s schedule hasn’t been cupcake infested, the talent on this team is vastly inferior to the talent of Winthrop teams of years past, further pointing to the realization that this team has one more victory than Mississippi Valley State.
The Detroit Mercy Titans aren’t shedding any tears yet.
Illinois State’s non-conference schedule
(>300 strength of schedule) The Redbirds are a perfect 11-0 but only 2 of those 11 teams feature a winning record.
What good is an answer if you don’t know how you got it?
Georgia
(7-4…) This is a 7-4 team of massive failure. Georgia has lost to the Ramblers and Islanders and nearly were nipped in the ass by the Terriers just last weekend. Household names called and said Georgia’s victims all have a long way to go to reach Anteater status.
Even handwashing a mean dish once in a while still doesn’t prevent lingering dish water from becoming foul.
UAB’s Jeremy Mayfield
(6′10 junior) This intriguing prospect has the delight of being featured here not for his weak on court performance, but for his lack of diligence in the classroom, whatever that means. 3 out of the last 4 semesters Mayfield has not met the academic standards required by the NCAA. For the second semester in a row he will be ineligible.
I’m sure that Mayfield feels just like the person on their commute home from work who gets ticketed for speeding two separate times by the same officer.
Dishonorable Mention
***The Utah Utes for losing to Southwest Baptist. Oh, and also losing to a 2-8 Idaho St. team.
***This.
***NOT this:
***The unknown baller. He’s about 5′8, maybe 160 lbs, third in the country in scoring, and swipes over 3 rocks per game. It’s unfortunate that Chicago State is an independent and has virtually no shot to make the tournament. David Holston might be the next Earl Boykins, but I don’t think people even know.
