February: Other NCAA D1 games

[storrsroars]

Pitt is spiraling despite having its most talented squad in over a decade.

Karma is a something.

Capel had more talent last year. Bub went 1st round, Hinson is in G League. None of these guys going pro next year in US.

But, if the point is Capel has decent talent and has his team playing well below its capability, agreed. As I said before, Danny would have these guys 2nd or 3rd in ACC with the same roster. Leggett and Lowe would probably be 2nd/3rd team all-ACC under Hurley. Under Capel, they are simply enigmas.

LMFAO. The gifs in the Twitter thread are hilarious.

@ Karl Ravech - Someone has to win and someone has to lose, Karl!! There are no ties in basketball. January 4th to now SEC teams are only playing against each other.

Hopefully McNeeley will rise a bit more, especially if he keeps up his performance. I mean, I don’t expect 30pt games but mid/high teens the rest of the way seems reasonable.

People are always looking for things to be indignant about. Someone would have to be a total freaking idiot or a total butthole to think Ravech didn't know what he was saying. Unfortunately for Ravech, that means most of his audience.

least shocking post in boneyard history

So my Texas, Colorado, UConn parlay didn’t pay.

So here’s my pick o the day: Nova over St John’s by 16

Let’s see how StJ handles being down 10 when their pressure looks flat.

Zoning St John’s is a great strategy so long as you can rebound

Neptune looks like he spends more time getting manscaped and on his wardrobe than he does on coaching. As if he thought nice suits is what drove Jay Wrights success.

 

[Ctedgeman]

With his length and quick leaping, Johnson could feast on those. But nobody fronts him.

You think the guy who can barely catch a ball thrown directly at him is going to be able to handle a ball bouncing at weird angles off the backboard?

 

[KingAG]

St John’s trying to prove they can shoot by taking 20 threes in a half is kind of funny

He’s coached a good half. Baiting St John’s into believing they can shoot is comedy.

That’s a winning gameplan. They just can’t rebound

Packing it in on defense cannot be a novel idea against StJ. It’s working so far. StJ shot 21 threes in the first half - that has to be easily their highest one half total this year.

I hear you Karl. Everyone’s missing the GROUP of teams part. Just keep hammering that home.

It doesn’t have to be novel to be good coaching. It was a good gameplan. St John just shot better than anyone would have anticipated, which still wasn’t great. If they shoot that many 3’s in the second half Nova will be in good position to win in my opinion

 

[BGesus4]

Dixon on Richmond is a great move

Making St John’s shoot a 3 for the win was cruelty

Creighton or St John’s goin g to start a losing streak on Sunday

 

[KingAG]

I know this isn’t popular to say but it’s true. Neptune coached a hell of a game today

It’s not that it’s unpopular. It’s just uncommon that he does it.

We probably need to pull for St. John’s in that game. It’s Creighton’s last game against the top tier of the conference and they could very well win out afterward. Johnnies would still have us and Marquette to deal with. Sets up a potential scenario with three teams with four losses at the top of the standings.

ESPN probably needs to start staggering these afternoon games like Fox tends to do, seems like games are bleeding well over their window more than ever these days. Arizona vs Houston got cut into by a full 10 minutes of game action for a non-OT finish in the previous game.
