2017-18 college basketball thread - Merged threads Archive

If Wichita State basketball is not good, we're going to regret adding them to the league. They add no TV markets, recruiting grounds, or alumni base. I fear how bad they may be when their coach leaves.
 
Can't shoot from the arc but just hustled their way back into this game.

That's nothing, wait to you get a taste of their fans in Hartford.

Wichita State tied it up after being 18 down. 5 minutes to go.

Gregg Marshall is only leaving if teams like Duke and Kansas call.

Wichita has been impressive coming back from an amazing first half performance from Cal’s Don Coleman.

It’s stupid how good Shamet is.

It's stupid how bad this Cal team is. Crazy this game is close, let alone that WSU was down double digits

Shamet looks great... and Shaq Morris is an absolute beast. The kind of big man we have always had trouble with (he is giving me flashbacks to DeJuan Blair). 25 and 7 with 4 blocks... and dominating down low. To have just one big guy like that. Jeff Adrien was close, but this guy is even a notch above him.

18 down to 8 ahead with a minute left.

Conner Frankamp should shave his head.

Looked like he was shaving points. He’s a good point guard but he was lost and chucking tonight.

Wichita St is great at drawing charges. They probably could have have like 5 more, but it was like the refs started pitying Cal’s guard for just trying to run through defenders every time.
 
Anyone catch how close UNH kept it with Florida...This is going on a lot these days. The gap keeps closing!
 
AAC basketball doesn't look too bad so far this year. This conference seems to be slowly gaining ground.

People can say whatever they want about women, but they do help the conference's reputation. Geno having the program running on all cylinders at the right time serves everyone well. We've been very, very fortunate.

With a gun to your head... and you can only pick one team to win the title who do you select? The winning pick saves your life. Sorry for the drama :)

Unfortunately I'd go with Duke (would have said Arizona before the Bagley re-classification). Nova and Michigan State are right there also.

Separately from the title picture, very good win for Temple last night over Clemson. Huge for the league that they have a couple potential quality victories under their belt already.

Duke has this one in the bag, Arizona is the only challenger.

I think this is the year of the dark horse upset (not saying UConn) - a team with 3 senior starters

Thanks Champs. Looking forward to several months of great hoops. :)

Kentucky is not at all impressive. Nick Richards and PJ Washington have been horrible. Quade Green okay at best. Hamidou started off decent but has slowed down. Very little bench presence. Kevin Knox is the only player on that squad I can say I'm impressed with. Wouldn't expect them to be ranked by March.
 
Robert Williams returned for A & M. Put up a quick double/double. A & M rated the #2 KP defense. Davis was in foul trouble finished 4/8rebs. It is going to be interesting to see if Davis/Williams can coexist from an offensive efficiency perspective when on the floor together. That is the big question for A & M. Is there enough space. Neither has proven to be very effective from 15 feet and out. An argument can be made that team is better offensively with one or the other in the game.

The huge question with Duke will be depth/youth (at PG) as it relates to the other contenders for the title. Sure depth can be overrated but that bench could be suspect.

As everyone knows this Oregon game is huge for our Huskies. We will need JA to break out into ALPHA mode. IF (big if) that happens.....:)

Weren't you the one driving the A & M bandwagon this off-season? They look good so far for sure.
