February General CBB Discussion Thread

Good response from BYU. AJ is special and good defense got the crowd into the game.

I actually really like that Mboup+Keita frontline they've turned to. The spacing isn't great without Saunders, but you don't need great spacing when you have Dybantsa.

 

[JungleLobo]

Go BYU

Add #10, #11 will survive.

UConn picked a good week to have a loss

Iowa State is joining the party.

Damn Hawaii beats UCSB in OT. Hawaii retired Anthony Carter's jersey.He played 14 seasons in the NBA including for the Miami Heat. He is Devin Carter's father.

 

[bendm]

Yes, but other stuff happened down the line.

Good grief. It’s just uncanny that in every bracket we’re either the 1 seed in the South with Houston or the 2 seed somewhere other than the East. The exception to the “rules”

 

[gsmooth]

I really don't understand why everyone has Peterson going #1 over Dybantsa.

Me neither.

 

[aceboon]

Dybantsa masterclass, would have had more assists if his teammates could make more of the open 3s he gave them

 

[superjohn]

Me neither.

They're both awesome scorers but one guy is an awesome teammate, competitor, has charisma, and does everything else on the court besides scoring.

 

[Mike Honcho]

BYU is making some incredibly head scratching plays here down the stretch.

 

[aceboon]

Robert Wright doing stupid stuff down the stretch of a game again

A 3 pointer with 15 seconds on the shot clock? Cmon fellas.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Iowa State loses. AJ with a massive game. 1 assist away from a triple double.

 

[auror]

Houston loss. Check.
Illinois loss. Check.
Iowa State? Tbd. Currently losing.

Houston loss. Check.
Illinois loss. Check.
Iowa State loss. Check.

Same

AJD plays with so much urgency

 

[NJHusky]

I can only imagine what Hurley could do with duke's elite prep/camp pipeline. It's crazy that they don't win more.

More importantly the whistles dook gets…imagine if the refs favored us. 😲

Duke did have more fouls called against them.

Last night on FOX UCLA was down 33-10 in the first half and came all the way back to tie the game and even take the lead in the second half. Then both teams played even through the second half and UCLA won the game on a bucket in the closing seconds in overtime to win the game. What an upset. So far my favorite game of the year by a team I dont root for.

 

[NJHusky]

Hopefully AJD has something left down the stretch of this game, gonna have to backpack and not get to sit

He’s the anti DP!

 

[Hurleyman216]

I watched the 2nd half of the Mich/Dook game last night. Honestly, if we play like we played last night which is not even our A game, neither of those teams beat us.

I think the aj vs peterson choice comes down to whoever comes down with the top pick doesnt want to be known as the guy who picked Sam bowie(aj is much better than Sam bowie) when they could have had MJ(not that petersen is anywhere close to mj).

With peterson the skills, talents, and measurable are all there, unfortunately it's the things you can't measure that are worrisome. I look at it and see a guy who at 18 is either chronically injured which doesn't inspire lots of confidence he’ll stay healthy as he gets older. Or a guy so concerned with protecting himself I’m not sure when I give him guaranteed money he will be there when I need him to be. Then of course you have the whole how involved he will camp be. I don’t need his people spouting off about anything everytime they are unhappy.

 

[uh-no]

Duke isn’t nearly as hateable as they used to be. Scheyer seems like a decent guy and the kids seem like good ones. These aren’t Ks BDs.

That UM team can’t hold a candle to UConn 24. They’d lose by 15. Guard play is C at best.

Scheyer lying about what happened at the end of the UNC game, and then doubling down on it is pretty embarrassing.

He’s a drama queen with resting crying face. If he had said he rather than the assistant had gotten punched I would have been more inclined to believe him

In this class, I’m reducing my risk as much as possible. There are too many amazing options in this one to take a kid with any red flags. I’m all in on AJ myself. I think that kid still has tons of upside, and he does things DP doesn’t. DP does a ton of jump shooting. Boozer is so tough - the kid is so mature and a winner. He out worked UMs front line.

Memphis losing at home to UAB, no way penny survives this season
