Samford coach Scott Padgett isn’t exactly the household name of Jim Boeheim but on Saturday he carried on with a trend that the Syracuse coach might have started last week with his post-game remarks after a loss to Georgetown.
“I actually watched [Georgetown] play UNCG live because UNCG is in our conference so I watched that game when it was on and I was excited to play Georgetown because I didn’t think they looked very good at the time,” Padgett said.
No doubt Padgett was eager to try his luck against a Hoyas team that had just scored a season low 61 points and shot a poor 37 percent while making only five 3-pointers in a loss to Greensboro that dropped Georgetown to 4-3.
