What in the world is Dusty May cooking up at Michigan? They look like the Globetrotters.

Rutgers will do that for you

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Memphis presses up 7 under a minute. Give up a wide open 3

Bold strategy

 

[Samoo]

This is a brutal take. Cam's IQ is off the charts and he does play point guard.

Did you expect anything else. He can't be this misguided so I'm going with this is a troll so he can argue another meaningless point into the ground

They are crushing teams by 40. Villanova is next to face Michigan on Tuesday. Let's see if that continues.

 

[RuffRuff]

Michigan is a load. They are the best team in college ball right now. Might sound blasphemous, i might throw a few sheckles on them to win the whole thing at 7-1.

Not a bad bet - right now, from a pure talent perspective they check a lot of boxes. As HW611, Mara at 7'3 (4 blocks today), is the most classic rim protector and a cheat code defensively. Cadeua is passing the ball really well. Then they have Yaxel. Right now they look like they are the favorites. May is a really good coach, brought FAU to the F4.

I liked this AI answer:

Yes, there were reports and online discussions that the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)
mistakenly referred to Boston College as "Boston College University" on its official website or in a formal communication around the time the school joined the conference in the early 2000s.
This error became a point of discussion and mild ridicule among rival fans and online communities...

I do remember it being "Boston College university". We had some fun with it on the BY.

Illinois is playing like they're not allowed to grab a loose ball

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Getting out-rebounded 27-11, shooting 31% from 3, and only being down 2 at the half is actually kind of wild.

 

[karstenkibbe]

I’m watching a barn burner down in Washington Heights tonight. At the half, the Glenn Miller/Tyler Olander/Jeff Calhoun coached St. Joseph Blue Jays with a 1 point lead over the Yeshiva Maccabees.

 

[uconngb]

Big win by Illinois

I'm a bit disappointed with the word choice of "mild" ridicule.

 

[HW611]

No, we aren't comparing him to any of your binkies, don't worry. None of the PGs that went through the Calhoun Academy of Genius. Weird. One of his biggest strengths is his smarts, and that's what separates him as a player.

What separates him as a player is that he's an elite elite scorer. He's beyond efficient and it's not because he's taking the best and smartest shots in the world. He's just super efficient from every level.

that's so dumb lmao. cam's not a pg because he's not breaking down the defense off the dribble. it has nothing to do with iq

That doesn't have much to do with playing PG. You don't have to be a super athlete to play the position. Just high level decision making and being smart enough to know how to make others around you better.

It's okay guys he's still smart.

I sincerely hope this is trolling but I don't think it is.

Let's go over this again, Cam is a "super" high IQ player who plays point guard.

His basketball IQ is off the charts.

 

[BFieldHusky]

I think Illinois will settle into a top 15 team as they get more reps with each other.

 

[auror]

I'm liking the good teams we played crushing ranked teams.

Why keep battling?

 

[Scot-e]

Well- Now our one lose will be to the #1 team in the country short handed.

 

[RuffRuff]

Mahaney went 7-7 from 3 tonight

Peat against Boozer would be a great matchup. Peat way more athletic, Boozer better all around and a bit bigger.

 

[AllHusky]

Don’t feed the troll!! As soon as I see 611 I move to next post without reading!

We would've ran them if we had Reed and Mullins available. It doesn't matter but we we would be #1 now.

 

[aceboon]

B. Hurley looks like he has a halfway decent team this year

It does - the fact he let Sanon and JQ walk to StJ and UK might be addition by subtraction.

 

[shizzle787]

Eight undefeated teams remain:

Big 12: #2 Arizona, #10 Iowa State, Oklahoma State
Big Ten: #3 Michigan
ACC: #4 Duke
SEC: #17 Vanderbilt, LSU
MAC: Miami (OH)

 

[HuskyHawk]

Kansas vs Missouri today in KC. Peterson is finally playing. Has 12 in the first half. KU by 8 at half thanks to a late 3.

 

[aceboon]

The Peterson cramping issue is getting weird
