February: Other NCAA D1 games

[WhereistheDove?]

First time in my life I’ve rooted for a Cal coached team. Gonna grab the popcorn and visit that board to see the insanity.

They’re handling it well

In ranked vs unranked games today, the ranked team is 3-5 so far

3 7 11 21 24 lose

In ranked vs ranked, the higher rank is 1-2

Good day to be an underdog

How prophetic

 

[gsmooth]

Damn Gonzaga keeps letting us down. They lose. A close one to St. Mary’s 62-58. St. Mary’s is 10-0 in WCC while Zags 7-3

Please define stinks. I believe they are 15-5 and ranked in the AP top 15 or so. A lot of college BBall teams would love to stink like that.

They stink.

Hubert Davis going the way of Kevin Ollie post championship, Ollie ya know actually won the national championship though and didn't choke it away in historic fashion.

I love Hubert and he's also done at Carolina.

 

[Dibbie]

ACC should be a 1 bid league. Louisville just showed they’re a fraud. Clemson has a nice record along with a couple other teams, but it’s because they’re just beating bad ACC teams

There is also an active thread bashing Koby Brea, a few days after he led the team in scoring in a road upset against Tennessee

I thought our fanbase was spoiled..these guys are insane. Pope had to scrap together a full roster in like 2 months and had them top 10-15 for most of the year, now they want his head on a pike

In fairness, Brea has been really mercurial shooting. A few really good games against real competition, but a lot of duds and contributes nothing else. I can understand why they’re frustrated.

I’m not sure what they expect. The guy is a gunslinger and nothing else, he won’t reinvent himself in year 5. He’s one of the best shooters in the country (maybe the best) for a team that’s been ranked all season, is 40% in conference play, and has led them in scoring for their two biggest wins against top 10 teams

Yes he’s been inconsistent in SEC play, but is their expectation that he shoots 50+% on high volume every single game?

There is nothing like BBN. It’s a combination of being spoiled and unintelligent, a tribalism built around tantrumming.

Pope has been A+ this year. He took a bunch of loose parts and turned it into a fringe top 10 team. That is hard to do. Now they’re banged up. They’re not perfect but were never destined to be.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It’s scary. Not sure if there is anyone in college that can guard him. Completely annihilating UNC.

Flagg is exceptional but UNC's hoops program has fallen off a cliff.

Pope has done a great job considering there were no left over players from last year. BBN does not deserve a coach like Mark Pope.

 

[Scoe]

I think he gets one more year.

Roy hired him so he will get a long leash making that tourney run in his first season and being a 1 seed last year. He will get next year most likely.

Yeah, and he just wrapped up a pretty good class to go along with Powell & Jackson if they stay. He needs bigs in the portal desperately, the fact he totally whiffed last year when it was such a glaring hole after Bacot left makes no sense.

 

[RuffRuff]

Is Arkansas better without Boogie Fland? They're now 2-1 without him, with two wins against ranked teams and finding new life. This after going 0-5 in conference with him. It's given Johnell Davis a chance to play into confidence and find his old self, basically forcing Cal off his age old obsession with highly ranked freshman. Right now it's looking like addition by subtraction, and perhaps another demonstration of trying to win with freshman in lead roles doesn't work more often than not.
