February: Other NCAA D1 games

[REB1094]

Colorado beat Baylor. Is this good or bad for us? Haha

 

[rrskyjf]

UK is also without 2 starters. Playing with no point guard. Hasn’t had a complete team since early December.

 

[lateralous]

Because he’s inconsistent and can’t guard his shadow

But he is better than Mahaney sorry to say. 8 min left he’s up to 16.

Who cares. He doesn't address any of this UConn team's weaknesses

 

[JungleLobo]

Colorado beat Baylor. Is this good or bad for us? Haha

Good, Baylor was most likely going to be Quad 2 anyways and this helps Colorado get away from the Quad 3 line. 2 quad 3 losses is a bubble look

 

[superjohn]

This Illinois team stinks, never been a fan of Underwood.

 

[KingAG]

Mahaney is a guard. He would come off the bench here too

 

[rrskyjf]

He everyone’s favorite backup team is playing Illinois!

 

[WrenchFan69]

Gonzaga might suck huh

 

[WrenchFan69]

Score Alert!!!

Rice beat Tulsa 71-50

Nice game for former CCSU great Kellen Amos who is now Rice's 6th man

 

[WrenchFan69]

CCSU clinched a share of their second straight NEC regular season title today. Pat Sellers is a real coach. Really hoping he sticks around

 

[HooperScooper]

This Illinois team stinks, never been a fan of Underwood.

They were down by 17 at halftime on their way to a 43 point beat down. At halftime did Underwood say he was just going to keep doing the same thing in the second half that wasn't working in the first half?

Am preparing to hate watch Duke for the whole tournament… but they’re very good

 

[jibsey]

Yes, I watched him defend and it’s not good but Mahaney is a bad defender too. Brea is a 2 guard Mahaney a 1 but all in all Brea is bigger and can score, handle, get his shot off. It’s been discussed here ad nauseum especially with our main guard Hass hampered by injuries. But Brea actually looks like a player physically out there. He scored 20 points, 2 assists, 4-10 from 3 against a very good team Alabama.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Watching this Arizona vs BYU game and I cannot figure out how Arizona’s defense is considered top 10, they are literally sagging off of everything and leaving BYU wide open looks. It’s also amazing how much less physical this game is than a Big East game.

 

[auror]

Duke is getting to lofty KenPom numbers right now. Over 38 adjEM,

They're in the 2015 Kentucky, 2001 Duke territory right now.

 

[auror]

Baylor lost to last place B12 Colorado, Texas lost to last place SEC South Carolina, Gonzaga lost at home to SMC.

We'll lose a Q1 win with Baylor dropping, but Colorado stays a Q2 loss instead of Q3 at least. Texas was on the road, so it'll go from Q1A to Q1B, but not a big deal. Gonzaga will probably somehow remain top 10 in the NET lol.

Brea is completely irrelevant to the Mahaney discussion. I have no idea why this keeps being brought up

Again. Brea and Mahaney don’t play remotely the same position. On this team Brea would also be coming off the bench

 

[alphasigko]

BYU@UofA is VERY entertaining! Both teams are 18-8 and are putting on a 1st class shooting display!

 

[bendm]

How do they not play remotely the same position? Mahaney may have been brought in to play PG but it’s clear he isnt one, he’s a SG, and Brea is a SG/SF so there’s more positional overlap than not. Brea would come off the bench here too and he wouldn’t have solved our backup PG problem but at least we’d have an 8 man rotation.

 

[bendm]

Brea is completely irrelevant to the Mahaney discussion. I have no idea why this keeps being brought up

Cause Intended positions notwithstanding, weren’t we recruiting Brea right up until Mahaneys commitment? So at the time it seemed pretty clear that it was one or the other. The fact that Mahaney began the season as starting PG rewrote that narrative, but based on how things have turned out I’m questioning what Hurley was thinking about Mahaney every step of the way.

Your thought process stopping point was here.

 

[bendm]

Your thought process stopping point was here.

If OP wrote “Mahaney wasnt recruited to play remotely the same position as Brea” then that would have been true. But Just because Mahaney was recruited to play PG doesn’t mean he is one, so turns out he does in fact play the same position as Brea.

It was Brea or run the risk that one of the sophomores would bounce. They decided not to risk it. It wasn’t Mahaney. I don’t get how people who post so incessantly and have access to the same reported information as the rest of us flat out refuse to internalize anything that contradicts the narrative they want to push.

 

[alphasigko]

BYU prevails by 1! 96-95! Great game!

 

[alphasigko]

That they both had the same record as the Huskies and that UofA was ranked #19?

Quoting myself With interpolation to help with reading comprehension: “the fact that Mahaney began the season as starting PG rewrote [the] narrative [that it was either Mahaney or Brea].” That’s not how you push a narrative. If I incessantly posted that “Hurley should have chosen Brea over Ross” then that would be pushing a narrative.

BYU hardly dribbles the ball continuous passing and movement if they’re making shots they’re really good. Good size at all positions as well. Fun basketball ton watch.
