February General CBB Discussion Thread

The Big 10 travel and UCLA in a nutshell:
View attachment 117628

I don’t think the travel for USC was that drastic, even with traffic. 😎

 

[RuffRuff]

Kansas with the great response. Tech holding on for now.

TT on some crazy foul trouble on a thin team. This lead is going to squeeze.

 

[auror]

This Arizona run is one of the fastest I've ever seen. They pushed 2 to 19 in 4.5 minutes.

 

[RuffRuff]

I believe these may be two highest KPs since Duke 99?

This Arizona run is one of the fastest I've ever seen. They pushed 2 to 19 in 4.5 minutes.

I started watching Providence -Creighton and started recorded Kansas -Arizona when it was 49-47. I will have to watch that spurt by Zona.

Geography first.

Most have us in the South region

 

[aceboon]

Those two Petty shots out of the timeout might have saved the game for Tech

 

[blkknight1]

Texas tech guards are doing everything they can to maintain this lead back to back big shots

 

[JungleLobo]

Iowa State at Arizona next. At this point, Arizona is a lock as a 1 so might as well root for them to bury Iowa State.

They’ve been impressive without Toppin

 

[aceboon]

I figured it was an ankle or foot injury based on the way he stepped on the Illinois player's foot, one of the better subs in the country

I know you love to slobber over Duke and Michigan, but it's been said numerous times that you can't compare raw KP NetRating scores across seasons. Though that hasn't stopped you before.

 

[RuffRuff]

What a Saturday surprise gift with this TT win w/o Toppin.

ISU sleep walking before the AZ matchup Monday?

ISU ain't that good.

 

[aceboon]

Petty with two blown front ends of the 1&1 giving Iowa St a chance

 

[UConNick]

Most have us in the South region

Geography first, along the s-curve. As the number 4 team on the s-curve and the fourth 1 seed, we get put in whatever regional isn’t occupied by one of the three teams in front of us. And that’s the South.

As number 5 on the s-curve, the top 2 seed, that team can be placed in any region except the number one overall seed’s. If ’s Florida, they could land in the South; they just as easily could land in the East with Duke if they aren’t the overall top seed.

And then even after that, the committee may swap teams for competitive balance purposes.

Anyone that says I slobber is weak as f. Talking about good teams and thinking about match ups isn't slobbering.

 

[aceboon]

Texas Tech had a dunk but opted to burn more time to let this dude Petty miss more FTs

 

[Frenemy]

Peterson had 2 key assists in this run. He's already double his APG average!

Don't be a hater, his assist to turnover rate would much better with more minutes! He's not a selfish black hole or something.

Respect his hang nails and anxiety. Your encroaching on his personal space.

Should'nt have to say that's weapons grade sarcasm.

 

[thekollieman]

An obvious yet underrated reason to be the final 1 seed (or best 2 seed, I think?) - can’t get Duke, Michigan, Zona until the final four.

I wouldn’t mind being a 2 seed so we have a chance to beat all three of them…

It comes across as fawning even though you claim it’s all in the name of being an impartial observer. The fact you can’t comprehend why UConn fans on a UConn message board call you out is beyond hilarious to me.

 

[aceboon]

 

[Dibbie]

Beat Marquette and we should be a lock for 1 seed, though Seth Greeberg said he sees Florida as a 1 seed today

Fawning would insist I’m a fan of these teams. I can confidently tell you that I’m not. I appreciate good basketball/roster building, and am interested only as it pertains to understanding their position in UConn’s path, and in the scope of the CBB scene. Understanding their strengths is interesting only as it might be anticipating a prime time fight where you are a fan of one of the fighters. This is a General thread, not an anti everyone but Uconn thread. Maybe we need one of those - talk S against all other teams thread.

There are some quality posters here - gsmooth, aceboon talk openly about the scene in a really cool way. Not sure why breaking down the top of the food chain when you're looking to compete at that level is that hard to stomach.

 

[superjohn]

I didn't see the game but when Kansas loses they get blown the hell out. Strange team.
