February General CBB Discussion Thread

Is this a reliable tweeter? There's lots of fake stuff like this out in the internet world. I saw one last week that said Hurley was stepping down after the Creighton loss but knew it was B.S.

Based on the stuff Ruff puts out, very likely not reliable.

Was gonna say that. they’re making fun of a message board poster on Illinois website claiming in fighting with Michigan - it’s comical to be using it as proof they might be having issues. And then a genius that asks if it’s legit is another story.

Never mind the jump from “This team is unstoppable” to “I always suspected something was off with them” in record time

Learn to have a little fun with it rather than a stick up your dweeby kiester. My lord you must be some of the stiffest nerds on the planet.

I know how much you love those small conference tournaments. It looks like this Sun Belt Conference will be a bonanza for you.

 

[Conndog]

Pretty cool breakdown of Sarr on defense - kid is pretty sick, and a bit of what Castle was for us. His ability to slide through screens, recovery, close out and wingspan are all top notch. And it looks like he loves to defend. Him and Brown are elite defenders for that team. They can really shut down just about anyone. He is what we need Ross to be, similar body types. Duke is going to be very tough as they have 4 top 20 defenders per Maya, and have an answer for just about any position on the floor.

Tristen Newton had a quick recovery too if his man turned the corner on him

I always thought Tristen was underrated as a defender-he was solid with defensive positioning. In the NBA Summer League he has shown this, too.

[blkknight1]

Can you just tell us who is the Manifest Destiny team this week please?? It’s hard to keep up with all of your changes. I believe its Duke, do I have that right??

 

[blkknight1]

Looks like they are gonna survive

Had no idea Dwayne Stephens was a head coach, he was Izzo's right hand for awhile. Is Miami(OH) at the point where they're safely in the tourney?

They are in if they win out in the regular season and lose a close one in the MAAC championship to a decent Akron team they've already beaten.

Anything past that, they could be in trouble (although I lean in so long they go undefeated in the regular season...the bubble isn't strong this year but their schedule makes Miami of Florida's look daunting for God's sake).

 

[blkknight1]

I've seen some analysis that says they can't afford to lose more than 1 game, it's important they finish the regular season unbeaten. If they lose before the conference tournament they would have to win it.

 

[aceboon]

Cason is such a good off the bench role player

 

[Kolumbo]

good thing Miami came back to beat dreadful W. Michigan

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I've heard if Miami wins out until the MAC title game and loses, they would be in Dayton for the First Four. That seems crazy. They should be at least a single digit seed with 1 loss

I have plenty of fun. My Keister isn't dweeby either! It didn't look like you were having fun with it, it looked like you thought there was legitimate issues with Michigan's locker room, but it's all good. I think the dork that responded to you asking if it was legit is the bigger problem. He's the police around here but never knows anything.

Thanks for the clarification. Nothing gets by you.

Well you know what they say about the French....
