December General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Boy is the Big 10 protecting their 1 seed. Some of these calls…

offensive foul on Rice was ridiculous

 

[boog204]

FWIW, I watched a bit of the Hofstra/Pitt, and Hofstra has some really good players. I’m kinda surprised they’ve lost four games, tbh, and not surprised at all they beat 'Cuse.

Hofstra's PG (who played for Pitino at Iona and for a cup of coffee with St. Johns) went for 36 against Pitt and 22 and 9 today. He can really play.

Their board is in meltdown mode again. It’s so entertaining. Such a broken program and fan base.

 

[aceboon]

Buzz gonna have to talk to his dudes and let them know how the refs are calling this game, they're doing too much

 

[storrsroars]

I'd go further than not good to describe this Maryland team. They are pretty bad, or have been so far this year.

Their losses are to Zags, Bama, G'town and Bennett Stirtz. That wouldn't be a total resume killer if they had any good wins. Unfortunately for them, winning @Marquette this year is not a quality win.

 

[BigTenFan]

Big time shot.

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

His brother was a lights out shooter for Iowa- runs in the family
Great Big 10 road win!

I wish Lendeborg pulled a Cedric Coward and stayed in the draft, he's the separator for Michigan

 

[uconn_jack]

So, basically, Tennessee sucks.

If it were just losses I'd agree, but they lost three of those by 19 or more and one by 10. They also only beat a bad Marquette team by 7 and Mt St Marys by 5 and UNLV by 7. That's not a good resume at all.

They're not even relevant anymore. I don't think we should give them any exposure. We can play two OOC games a year in MSG, but a matchup vs Cuse would be boring

IU UK battle of two of the most overrated teams in the country. Tucker DeVries continues to be incredibly average. Oweh at least playing with some effort today. IU will be lucky to be a tourney team, UK probably a 8 seed that everyone chooses and then loses by 14 to Oregon in the opening round

 

[uconn_jack]

Michigan is damn good, but if we do run into them on March, I like our chances. I really think we would have them gassed by the end of the game.

They have a thread about who their next coach could/should be, and some are thinking that Jay Wright or Brad Stevens might be interested b/c they're Syracuse. Make it make sense.

This would have been a very important game in 1978.

Rumor has it that John Wooden would return from the hereafter for the opportunity to coach at Syracuse

Team isn’t great but Devries is pretty good

They are so beyond delusional it’s sad. They haven’t been relevant in a decade. No one in the Acc cares or even remembers they are there. Most don’t realize how far away from NYC they are. I saw someone mention this in the Acc forum.

 

[Inyatkin]

Most don’t realize how far away from NYC they are

Hofstra to the ACC confirmed

 

[KingAG]

They called him for taunting in the first half, too.

It was an exceptionally boneheaded thing to do given their other big is currently out of the game with a hyperextended knee injury.

You don’t make that call then. No way you shift a game with that call. Terrible officiating

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

FSU, losers to umess
Pitiful Pitt, losers to Nova

 

[rrskyjf]

This would have been a very important game in 1978.

UConn was an 8 seed last year.

 

[HooperScooper]

Hofstra also beat Pitt last week.

It's not that hard to go undefeated against the ACC these days.

 

[EnochRoot]

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but they were on top of it really quick. Of course, College Park is one of those ‘BLEEP YOU REF!’ arenas, from waaay back.

 

[HooperScooper]

Chuck Barkley just mentioned all the blue blood programs and said "and now you gotta put UConn there" when talking about visiting Rupp as a youngster.

Not that anyone is saying it, but you can count out Kentucky winning the national championship. Chuck predicted they're going to win it all.
