Anyways, on to Oklahoma! This is a very winnable game and not one where our small guards will be a disadvantage.
3rd best Big East team would be in the 8-10 range in the SEC so might be a closer matchup than you think.
Won't know until the games are over Friday nightIf we do win on Friday, does anyone know what time our game will be on Sunday? Sorry if it was posted already
Comments like this always get me.Sounds like something the simulation would say. Reality says an SEC team not named Kentucky hasn't won the title since 2007. One not named Kentucky or Florida hasn't won since 1994 or before that, ever.
Florida might a problem, Oklahoma shouldn't.
But that door swings both ways. Yeah it will be nice to see the offense have some freedom of movement, but if we foul in these games like we did in the BE, we are going to see a bunch of guys losing minutes on the bench in foul trouble.Keen to see the reffing effect in the first game to understand just how disadvantaged we’ve been in the BE. Totally agree with the StJ/Marquette view. Our offense will be an advantage.
It was a we have Donovan Clingan and they don't situation in a sense. The whole reason we could play the defense we did was because of Clingan.Have you been drinking today?
You are now off on some tangent that is doing little beyond your feeble intellectual capacity.
Yes, Donovan Clingan was our Primary center last season.
Yes, DC was reasonably close to Edey's size (although from the look of the two together, nearly two inches shorter and likely 40 lbs lighter).
Our staff would not have double teamed Edey if our center combo was Clingan/Johnson, Sanogo/Johnson or Johnson/Reed. They knew the damage Purdue caused oth err teams came from finding an open theee point shooter when Edey was double teamed. They also knew the Edey in his own (he had one of the better stat lines ever for a national title game) could not do enough to beat us if we kept the rest of the team in check. That is what we did. That was the approach Hurley, Young, Murray and Moore felt would give us the best chance of winning and they were correct. It wasn't (to quote Geno from when you were in diapers) a "we have Diana and they don't" situation with Clingan.
Let's see, Bill Self, two time champion, has one of the deepest portal bags out there - how did he do? Indiana spent a boatload in the portal, how did they do? Kansas St? It's not as easy as buying a team. You have to pick the right ones, develop them into your system and have them buy in.
To discredit what Pitino's accomplished is going out of your way to find reason he's not a great coach. Pitting him against Hurley is not worth the conversation as he's got 20 more years on him. Let's see how it all plays out and be more secure as a fan base.
Getting “knocked off” does not enter into my mindThis is an underrated point.
Oh I see. Back to back means nothing to you?I'm not sure why any rational human being would think they can fix a 5 month issue in 5 days. The best coach thing is funny, he's not even the best coach in our conference.
Last thing on this, if you watched the game you will see our staff literally did double team Edey whenever Johnson was in the game.Have you been drinking today?

I can't believe someone is actually complaining about the title game last year where we won by 15. LOLHave you been drinking today?

I agree and am hoping we show that level of off ball movement because that is what could tip the scales in our favor.I don't know. UF would give UConn fits when on offense but they had some real trouble defending UT's off ball movement and UT's off ball movement is pretty bad compared to UConn's. Neither here nor there. OK first.
