December General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

[auror]

Looks like Stirtz has had a good year - but he’s been pretty awful today. Kind of athletically overwhelmed where nothing is easy. Made one really difficult step back in the first half.

Iowa State is a tough matchup for opposing PGs. Lipsey and pressure D with aggressive trapping.

Six minutes left and Southern Canada holding on for dear life, up 4 on St. Joe’s. I’m jonesing for some schadenfreude tonight.

Article about the SEC being down this year. But "teetering league"? The BE should be so lucky!

Just one year removed from a season of historic dominance, the SEC is grappling with its worst nonconference run of the post-pandemic era. Entering another big weekend, the SEC is just 27-38 against high-major competition, and that mark drops to 27-41 when factoring in the league's 0-3 mark against Gonzaga. By comparison, the SEC finished 60-19 against high-major teams/Gonzaga in regular season action last year.

The SEC's last stand: Blockbuster college basketball weekend could determine fate of teetering league

One year removed from a season of historic dominance, the SEC is taking on water in 2025-26

Nebraska looks pretty good, undefeated and up 10 on Illinois on the road at the under 12 timeout

Win or lose- Nebraska is a good story in CBB this year

 

[Gurleyman]

Too early to predict - but Hofstra going for the Pitt-Cuse sweep, up 8 at the Dome with 10 minutes left.

As the only P5 program without an NCAA Tournament win maybe it will finally happen this season.

Wow, Nebraska wins off a 3 with .02 secs left

Big time shot.

Who is this Sandfort kid? I looked him up and he played 2 seasons at Iowa before transferring to Nebraska.

That was a pretty blatant foul on Kiyan Anthony when he was going up for his shot that the refs missed, Hofstra player grabbed his wrist. Hofstra wins 70-69.

 

[Mr. French]

The HOF!

Refs definitely missed that one. Hofstra takes down the fruit.

I saw that as well. I was going for Hofstra but Kiyon should have been shooting 2 FTs.

Yea I'm not complaining but this is a brutal missed call when you're down 1 with the game in the balance

 

[aceboon]

I want to see a #1 pick type performance from Peterson on the road in a big spot

 

[Inyatkin]

Florida State lost to UMass? Feels like a long time since they were good

Refs definitely missed that one. Hofstra takes down the fruit.

A little schadenfreude on the dinner menu tonight!!!! Feel free to sing along with me… every time Southern Canada loses.

That is brutal. Embarrassingly bad botch by the official which decided the game

And I think that’s hilarious

Limping to the bench with 2:15 left...

Melvin Council Jr on Kansas is shooting 8-14 from 3 and Kansas is leading NC State 66-63 with about 49.5 seconds. The surprise: he was 5-28 from 3 for the year.

 

[Mr. French]

Rochester’s own Melvin Council reppin’ baby!

 

[EnochRoot]

NCSU should’ve burned a timeout once they got the ball upcourt. Especially with the 7’14” fly swatter underneath for KU.

 

[Mr. French]

Good god Melvin

 

[Jay-Bone]

Peterson is wildn' out. Oh wait, that's Melvin Council.

 

[EnochRoot]

Again they don’t call a timeout when they could’ve setup a play for the win.
