Why is the joint less than half full? Unreal.

Every team in our bracket is from the East Coast (or Midwest) except Oregon and all their fans decided not to come after they were so bad. Not exactly the same Thanksgiving weekend destination as say Maui or Atlantis.

The Gonzaga-Purdue game is pretty packed.
 
A great team win. The true mark of a team is how you respond when things aren’t going your way, we beat a very good Bama team tonight, we’re able to respond to their punch and when we punched back we kept on punching them.

No one has come close to beating us this year. We just dominated a loaded Alabama team for about 25 minutes and held even for the other 15. We’re top 5 good. We should accumulate a bunch of wins in a down big east

The other 15 was them coming back to tie from down 15. We had two runs, they had one.

Yeah but he isn't remotely close to a PG or an NBA guard. Love his effort and rebounding. Not a fan of his overall game but he has a purpose just wish his offensive game developed more.

I thought he looked better on offense this game of course I wish his shooting was better.

I had zero problem w that play. The four ridiculous 3 point attempts on the other hand?? Please…..save those for practice. None of them were even close.
Expand ...
I think one of those was a late clock heave, but yeah...

When they tied with 10 minutes to go, I kept thinking about the many collapses the team had last year.

My stomach turned, but thankfully this is a much better talented team. Started feeling better when Sanogo led the fast break with a slam and back up by 7 with about 5 minutes and some change.

This was a hard fought victory and I think the score doesn't indicate the many chances that Bama had to keep it close. We executed late, they didn't. Don't let the final score fool you, we easily could have let this go. Feeling much better.

Even more proof that the players that were added after last season was a thing of beauty that the staff put together. The added players had years of experience playing in tough league games, league tournaments, NIT finals and an NCAA tourney game. Add Hawkins, Sanogo, Jackson and the prized freshman and that’s a very seasoned, smart and talented team that shouldn’t be fazed in a tight game against any team.

I thought AJAX had his worst defensive game this year. Got beat off the dribble a lot compared to the last 2 games. Still good D but off his high standards. He still looks lost on offense too. Please, never shoot a 3 again. LOL!

You couldn’t of just watched the same game we did and come away with that conclusion unless you just straight up don’t like the kid LOL, Miller is a lottery pick and he couldn’t do ANYTHING with Dre

When Sanogo missed his 1st 2 FTs, I was a little worried. But I'm thinking he needs to be more tired and sweating more profusely in order to make them.
Expand ...
Those were the only misses for the team until Hawkins missed one in the final minute.

Up to 8 on Kenpom. We'll see how things shake out with the last couple games tonight.

When was the last time we were top 10? Early 2014?
Expand ...
Yeah we peaked at #9 in 2014. That was the last time. Last time we were 8 or higher was early 2012. We dropped to #10 after only beating Wagner by 10 and never got back.

Really a true pg. No one ever makes him pickup his dribble. Only does so when he has something to do with the ball. Great vision and pace. Can score when needed but doesn’t need you to have a big impact.
Expand ...
That was the main thing I noticed, too. Against pressure defense a lot of players panic or get uncomfortable and pick up the ball in bad spots which causes turnovers or bad possession where the offense doesn't get going. Newton picks up the dribble when he wants to, not because the D forced him to. His leadership and his calm under pressure doesn't show up in the stats, but I think it was the biggest factor to winning the game.

I watched it and saw him getting beat off the dribble more than normal. I will say he did play good D just not as good as I have seen compared to other 2 games. Just my opinion.

With Alabama?

Nothing less than a 25 point win is the new benchmark. Standards have been set, bars have risen. We should already be anoited national champs. Give us the Pistons already, college has become laughably easy for us thus far.

And Oregon is beating Michigan State - won't last.

Will they go to split screen to show UCONN getting off bus at hotel?
