December: Other NCAA Games

Why didn’t we pursue Danny Wolf again?

I heard his nose was asking for too much NIL.

Colorado avoids another loss. If they beat Bellarmine, we’re basically guaranteed for that loss to be only Q2

 

[BigTenFan]

Nebraska ran over IU in Lincoln
Woodson better start winning very soon in Bloomington.

How odd considering how poor (relatively) he was at defense when he arrived on campus at UConn. Have to think two years of going against UConn's guys in practice may have helped him there.

Wow. Agree, thought defense was what would keep him off court.

Really interested to see Dayton/Marquette this weekend.

Cincinnati and Xavier at 2:00 today. That rivalry game is always fun. And the Huskies play Xavier in their next game after tonight. Plus it's always good when a Church League team can take down @kobe's mighty Cubcats.

Absolutely bizarre game to watch. Indiana chucked up 35 3’s, a lot of which were bad shots, and made just over 20% of them. It’s like someone finally got to Woodson and explained to him the value of 3 pointers but did not explain that you actually have to be competent at shooting to get the value out of it.

Just for reference, they are 326th in 3 PT attempts per game at just over half what they took yesterday (18.6).

Woodson truly is an atrocious coach. With the resources and name that school has, they should be so much better than they are.

The most shocking thing is IU playing in the CFP....and the hoop team is atrocious.
I knew they wouldn't be able to get 5 players in transfer portal to play as one unit.
McNeeley definitely made the correct move to Uconn

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?

Me,too, considering I was there in person in Maui for UConn's game against Dayton. My lasting memory was seeing UConn can get run out of the gym against Dayton and their fan section being really loud as Santos was pumping up their crowd while the UConn section was hushed. The entire Maui trip was humbling considering my last game to see in person before Maui was here in Boston when UConn demolished Illinois in the Elite 8 and 90% of the fans were UConn fans cheering and coronating UConn as they were cutting down the nets.
Memphis, another team that beat UConn on Maui, is playing now.

Memphis at #16 Clemson tied at 72 and going to OT.

Why did that game start at 11:00 am?

I can't believe I'm rooting for Memphis. I feel so dirty.

Why not? It's Saturday

 

[gsmooth]

Did you guys see the out of bounds play by Memphis with 1 min left in OT? It was very similar to the play UConn runs where they pass cross court to the center. It resulted in a made 3 by Rogers (maybe Hunter).

 

[aceboon]

Memphis fortunate that Hunter(Clemson) missed that, they gave him a wide open walk-in 3

Besides Maui has UConn ever started a game before noon?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Hardaway let Clemson shoot a 3 with about 10 seconds left up 85-82. I agree with the decision, because Clemson was expecting the foul and the 3 attempt was really more of a floater. Low percentage shot that Clemson missed.

Under about 8 seconds, I like the foul. Over 10 seconds, just play D.

It was a rushed shot.

 

[REB1094]

Memphis beat us and MSU, then lost to Arkansas St, and now beat Clemson on the road. Somehow that is not surprising at all with that team. High highs and low lows

 

[gsmooth]

Haggerty with head snap motion. Great player that does that move all the time.
Great resume building win for Memphis. Memphis defeated Clemson something Kentucky couldn't do. It was the ACC's only win vs the SEC ( maybe there was another one, I am not sure off the top of my head).

 

[AntG168]

It’s great for us that Memphis is actually good

 

[SoFla Steve]

Great road win for Memphis. Hope it helps our NET.
