December: Other NCAA Games

[aceboon]

Big win for Penny & Memphis, hopefully they don't flop in AAC play again, Haggarty and Hunter alone should be enough to run through that conference

 

[aceboon]

It was a rushed shot.

He was wide open, it was a great shot and bad defense by Memphis

Memphis beats one of the top teams from a mid-major conference. Solid win by Penny.

He was racing and trying to come to a stop on a dime and launch a 3. That is a low percentage shot for the best 3 point shooters.

Besides Maui has UConn ever started a game before noon?

Yes

 

[HooperScooper]

Yes

When? I can't remember any regular season games. AAC or Big East Tournament? Or on the road? I can't remember any homes games.

In 2015 we beat Cincinnati in an 11:00 start at Gampel.

Stop it, he was not racing and great shooters hit that shot in their sleep. You watched Cam not get picked up in transition and hit that shot multiple times last year, the one against Marquette when he got T'd up afterwards comes to mind.

So many Boneyard posters have their entire identity on this board invested in Penny is the worst coach in basketball history. Those posters are idiots. Don't be one of those posters.

Penny made the right decision not to foul.

Where did you see me mention anything about not fouling, I said it was bad defense not picking him up. I grew up a Penny fan and I'm rooting for him to do well. You gotta stop posting while high, it leads to arguing strawmen and making bad faith arguments, put that stuff down.

 

[Gurleyman]

Purdue and A&M is pretty entertaining - A&M has surged up by 9, but Braden Smith is really good - we did a good job on him last year. Kaufman-Renn is getting doubled a lot - averaging 19 a game. He actually posted up on AK for the first points of the game last year and they never went to it again. I’ve always kind of felt like relentlessly force feeding Edey might have cost them their best chance - largely since Edey went cold during the middle of the game and they had no answers. Plus he honestly put no effort into the defensive end - we all took turns scoring on him. If he wasn’t considered so irreplaceable that he couldn’t risk a foul, they might have been able to deny us some of those 44 paint points.

Texas A&M plays impressively hard

Ah, yes. The game was at the XL Center but good memory on the start time. I forgot about that one.

 

[gsmooth]

Woodson is one of the more obviously stupid hires by a major program that I can remember. When has a mediocre, over-the-hill former NBA Head Coach been successful at a major college program as a first time college coach? I could see an A10 or MWC program hiring him, or even a low level major like Minnesota or Providence, but Indiana? How did they think this was going to turn out?

Yeah I didn't understand Indiana hiring him at all. Indiana is still a big brand in basketball even though they are living more on past glory. Surely with the money they have and the brand and prestige they have, they could have done a more thorough and exhausting search.

 

[aceboon]

Still surprising that OSU rolled with Diebler with as big as their brand is

He's doing a pretty good job, they're only down like 40.

In the AAC, 10 years ago.

Your point was correct, it’s a dumb start time.

 

[aceboon]

Tim Brando in that announcer danger zone where he can't identify players or calls on the court. He's misidentified a bunch of players already only 10 minutes into this Seton Hall/Rutgers game.

He has been there for the last few years or so it seems. It's really quite annoying to hear him call games.

 

[Mr. French]

Great slate today. Some great ones already. Dayton, btw, is favored vs. #6 Marquette.

 

[Revrat]

No team chokes down the stretch like Xavier. They just lose the ball all over the place

 

[aceboon]

Arizona 4-5 and haven't even got to the grind of conference play yet

 

[Gurleyman]

Harper at the buzzer. Terrible defense by Dual. Got all turned around and was 10 feet away. Couldn’t have played it any worse … other than falling down.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Arizona 4-5 and haven't even got to the grind of conference play yet

Big time 24 footer at the buzzer for Arizona, only problem is he pulled up from 26.

 

[gtcam]

Tennessee and Illini is a great game. These kids are big and experienced.
Going to be tough facing either of them.
