CBB Discussion Week 7

I’m going to the Cincinnati UCLA game tonight. Will try to post a pic from the arena
 
You know Cinci is bad offensively when the commentators continually say Cinci wants to grind, play dirty (in a good way), muck up the game (forgot the exact phrase).

I worded it wrong but it’s their Style of play. We’ve discussed this before even with Kobe about their offense

Just watched it. I'd expect a blocking call there. You can see the offensive player is past him (both feet passed his widely stretched legs) and the defensive player leans his body in. What is bad is not letting a coach get upset in those moments. Close calls like that are going to generate emotion, and calling a tech essentially ends the game.

As an impartial observer who doesn't care about either team that was a terrible, atrocious call. One of the worst I've seen this year or perhaps several years. Those kind of calls lead to people starting to think about fixes, it was THAT bad.

Edit: psu was favored by 5....

That was not a charge ...

If that were a UConn player, and they called a charge, I'd have absolutely lost my mind.

The T is the problem, not the original call. Short of the coach throwing a chair, or running out on the court and confronting an official, you don't call a T in a tie game with 5.5 seconds left. The ref basically decided a game that was still very much in doubt. The coach doesn't go bezerk until after the first T.

Right. Which is what I said in my longer post before that. You swallow your whistle there unless he's saying some very profane things about your mother.

I just watched it again, and I see what set Dambrot off. It's not the contact in the lane, it's before that. The Penn St. kid was being guarded by number 5, he clearly pushes the kid away with his right hand before he drives the lane. Clear foul, and should have been called.
 
I don't know what was said...but he was out of control screaming something and fighting to be unrestrained...and when your own kids have to grab you by the tie and drag you toward your bench...that is too much. It becomes a distraction to the game.
 
Williamson and Barrett are as good as it gets as a 1-2 punch but Duke has some weak players in their rotation and very little depth. Good game right now v. Texas Tech.

Barrett is playing awful and Williamson has flaws that get exposed vs. good teams.

T. Jones is keeping them alive. Hope Texas Tech pulls it out - it’s close right now.

Houston wins their 4th straight game against top 100 KenPom competition (and 5 of last 7 in total were top 100). The last 3 of them have not been especially pretty, but getting the job done.

They scheduled excellently, a lot of 35-85 KenPom teams which give you Q1 on the road and most Q2 at home.
 
A lot of these wins will age nicely, and not just for Houston.
In a season that is transitional for the AAC marquee teams (UConn, Memphis, Wichita), we're seeing some good signs.

11 point win for the dookies. They do loaf along some. But it was a defensive battle.

Winning ugly games and gutting it out when behind are traits to like...that Williamson kid is great.

Oregon looks awful again vs. Baylor

They could not score at all in the first half. Looked hopeless.

I forgot Baylor got that Yalie that killed them in the NCAA tournament. He is a good player.
