2017-18 college basketball thread - Merged threads Archive

Bucknell only down 3 against UNC deep in the second half. Damn I would love to see that upset happen.

Feel free to start a new one every Monday.

Maybe like 5pm in order to get some feedback on the Sunday games?
 
Terrence Samuel has been a real nice surprise this season. Through three games (granted against cupcakes) he's averaging 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. He's 10 for 18 from the field, 3 of 4 from three, and 14 for 16 at the line.

Awesome. That’s gotta be more threes than he hit in his entire UConn career, right? Good for him.

0 for 18 in his career at UConn. 6 for 18 last year at Penn State. Small sample, but it seems like he's put in the work to improve. Really hope they put together a nice tribute for him when he returns to Storrs in February and don't half-ass it.

Tribute? Just hugs and smiles after the game

Yes. It's a unique situation where a player who helped us win a national championship is returning to campus as an opponent. By all accounts he loved UConn and would have returned if given the chance. We didn't have a ship for him and that's the business, but a video montage shouldn't be too much to ask.

Amen. I really hope we do that – TSam was a big part of that team, and we don't win the title without him.

What the hell happened with UCLA vs. UCA? I checked my phone and it said 86-85 UCA Final. Then I look again 30 minutes later and it says 106-101 UCLA OT.

Jaylen Hands made a free throw with 1 second left to send it into OT.
 
Cincinnati is absolutely throttling Coppin St. Up by 30 with 5 minutes left in the 1st half.

Should be a fun game this year.

AAC Friday Games

Temple stretches it to 9 over undermanned Auburn with 6 mins left.

Just like that down to 3! Now 6! Raining 3's!
 
Closed it out well. A little sloppy on defense but offense was pretty solid. Balanced. Think we can match up with them if guard play improves and we can cover the perimeter. They penetrate well to complement outside shooting. Defense loses focus occasionally.

Good win for AAC. Auburn will be tough if/when 2 players return.

I'm developing a hatred for the Houston program. You can pretty much bank on them embarrassing the AAC OOC and then rallying just in time to be January and February warriors.

They just lost to Drexel (sub-200 in KenPom prior to the game) and eked out a win over #170 Liberty today. Can't wait for them to shoot 15 of 20 from three in front of 1,500 fans against us later this year, sabotage the league by sprinkling in some upsets over possible tournament teams, and somehow wind up third in the standings by playing an unbalanced league schedule.

Nothing has ever embodied a motel like Houston basketball. Them and Tulsa. I feel gross talking about them. If you're gonna be irrelevant than just go full suck and stop bothering me with your existence you petulant stains of human waste. These programs are a complete distraction to the appreciation of the fighting human spirit and I propose that at once we expunge then from the archives of our species.

That was entertaining...and an accurate assessment.

Wanted a discussion. Thanks though

I think tonight we will find out if Texas Arlington is one of the top mid majors. The combination of Eric Neal & Kevin Hervey have been touted as the best one/two punch of any mid major. The hype is real as they did blow out Oklahoma in a preseason scrimmage. Playing on the road against BYU as an 8 point dog will be a true road test. The loss of Nick Emery after his divorce is a huge loss for BYU. Emery could have been the best guard in the WCC. It will be interesting to see what happens with his career on the hardwood.

Also the OOC for Bucknell has been brutal. Tonight they travel to Maryland after games @ North Carolina and Arkansas. I assume this team is gassed but I expected they would win at least one of these murders row OOC road games. Looks like it may not happen.

Kahari Beaufort (East Hartford) is in action with Tennessee Martin. He only logs about 6 mins a game though.
