    Game prep

    The thing that bothers me about the travel issues is how does it affect practice time. I am sure they practiced Tuesday and Wednesday but would they have put in the game plan with the team? Or planned on waiting until Thursday and Friday? Thursdays practice will more of a walk thru I would...

    Brando and Donny (merged [twice])

    These are the announcers today. Couldn’t Fox send a better duo for such a big game? How about if stay on topic and talk about the game.

    Andre Jackson

    Andre was not on the Bucks eligible to play roster last night and also not listed for the Bucks G league team, the Wisconsin Herd last night. Anyone know what the deal is?

    Taliek

    Anybody else surprised to see Taliek sitting 2 rows behind the team today? I know he was sitting with his teammates but he is an assistant with an opponent we play next Saturday. You would think he would politely say that he couldn't sit that close. I would hope he sat there with Hurley's blessing.

    The nail

    I feel dumb asking this question but where on the court do they mean when the speak of the “nail?”

    Grant Williams

    Anybody see him get his head stepped on by Joel Embiid last night? Went back in about a minute later. Guys tough as nails. My new favorite NBA player.

    What team is our best ever?

    Granted we have several teams to choose from but my top 3 are 1999, 2004 and 2023. I am leaning towards 2023 because of the dominance and the offensive efficiency. The 1995 team would be next. Averaged 86 points a game.

    CT Insider

    Living out of state I rely on a couple different sources for info on my Huskies. Just checked out the app for today and the top story on CT Insider is about a recruit we lost, Gavin Griffith. You have to be kidding. We are playing to advance to the final four and this is a priority...

    MSU vs Kansas St

    What an idiot Izzo must be, Mich St actually uses the high hedge. And I have not seen Kansas St play but their defense appears to leave alot to be desired

    Free throw shooting

    Checked our stats yesterday and if you take away Clingan and Diarra (neither of whom shoots many) we are an excellent free throw shooting team. Andre at 69% and Adama at 78% are the only ones below 80%. Hawk, Newton, Karaban, Alleyne, Calcaterra are all better than 80.%. We just need to shoot more.

    How many possessions in a game?

    Last night I actually kept track of our offensive possessions. Although I probably missed a few because of offensive rebounds I came up with 62. Our turnover ratio was pretty bad in the first 5 minutes but after that we calmed down and took care of the ball. How many possessions is typical in a...

    Feeling encouraged

    The negativity on this board is unbelievable. Maybe I am in the minority but I am encouraged by where we are headed. We played perhaps our best offensive games vs #10 Marquette, one of the best defensive teams in the country. We followed that up with a terrific defensive effort against a team...

    Differences from November until now

    I went back and watched most of the games from the PK classic and noticed a few things. Sanogo is not the same player now that he was then. He played like he thought he was the best player on the court - and he was. Hustle and desire were there and aside from the 2nd half vs Xavier those...

    Suggestions for the staff

    I have read that Tom Moore reads the Boneyard, well Tom I have a couple of suggestions. JC ran "the circle play" with two shooters running off baseline screens to free up for a 3 pointer. Rip in particular was very effective with this. With Karaban and Hawkins I believe we have 2 guys who could...

    Holloway last night

    First he totally outcoached our duo of Luke and Tom. His kids have bought into what he preaches. Toughness and defense. Did anyone else hear what he said during time out? All we have to do is hang in there and they will throw up all kinds of crap at the end. I am paraphrasing but you get my...

    Tom Izzo - High Hedge

    We all agree Tom Izzo is a great college basketball coach whose strength is getting his teams to play tough, hard nosed defense. I watched quite a bit of the Michigan St vs Michigan game today and was shocked to see such a highly regarded defensive wizard like Tom Izzo employ the high hedge...

    Complaining about the officiating

    Please stop. I go to our opponents message boards after games and every one complains about the officials and they sound like idiots. No doubt about it we got screwed yesterday, some games you get the calls and others you don't. Winning teams find ways to win when they don't get the calls (see...

    CT Insider

    I have the app on my phone. Today there are 3 articles about the women’s team, two about the football team and nothing about the best team in college basketball. What’s up with that?

    Other top teams. Possible weaknesses

    For the first time in several years I am watching other games with teams that we may meet down the road. I have yet to see a team that scares me. Houston, Texas and Virginia all seem very similar to me in that they lack any kind of offensive cohesion and they rely on defense, iso and bully ball...

    Hassan Diarra

    You guys notice that for the majority of our run in the last 10 minutes of the first half he was on the court? Not exactly sure of what he did but I would think his spark came on the defensive end. I will watch the replay tonight and see.

    Brandon Miller might be talented but he is very selfish. Doesn't look like his teammates enjoy playing with him

    Duke-Oregon St announcers

    Hope these guys are not doing our game. Talking about everything except the game. Makes me not want to watch it. The best announcer we have had this year was the female announcer vs Del St. The big dude for OSU looks real good

    Arkansas-Creighton

    Bouk and Tyrese

    Bouk had a dnp - coaches decision last night and Tyrese was not listed as an available player. I know Bouk has played his way out of the the rotation but anybody know what the deal was with Tyrese? Before the season started I made a gentlemen's bet that Bouk would be in the G league before...

    Newton vs Buffalo

    I think we all agree Tristen played really well last night without shooting well. What impressed me the most was his ability to draw fouls. He was fouled 13 times last night, that’s terrific. There are college games in which teams don’t commit 13 fouls. Does anyone know if college teams keep...

    Saturday games

    Looked at our schedule and noticed we play 8 Saturday games at noon counting the LIU 12:30 start as a noon game. There are 0 Saturday night home games. Come on schedule makers, how about one Saturday night game on campus. For the students. I would think players and coaches hate the noon starts...

    AJ at the 4

    One of the most important things a coach does at our level is prepare his best players for the next level. Contrary to popular belief on the Boneyard I will be very surprised if we see much of AJ at the 4. That is not a position AJ will play after his college experience. Playing AJ at the 4...

    No more high hedge?

    One of the reasons you use the hard high hedge is if you have players that would not be effective in a switching situation. Such as RJ being forced to play a big. DH has said he wants bigger guards who would have the ability to switch. Looks like we will have different philosophy on defense as...

    Kemba clickbait

    So I was on CNN.com and fell for some BS clickbait about the top 50 tournament players of all time fully expecting Kemba to be top 5. Emeka to my amazement came in at 46 which befuddled me. However following him at 45 was Kemba - huh? I ended it there so I have no idea who was at or near the top.
