January General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Texas up 8 on undefeated Vandy nearing the end of the 1st half. Graphic just said this was the largest deficit for Vandy all season.

Texas beating Vandy would be good for us for like 3 different reasons.

I'm watching it also. The Texas center has the most performative all over body spasms imaginable to try to get foul calls.

He also had Acadien Lewis locked up and then Lewis pulled out. He took both Jasper and Malachi Moreno instate. He hasn't been able to get anyone out of state is the issue.

Louisville also has no signed HS kids.

They supposedly have some issue with how recruits are able to be paid through some third party company JMI. How much of this is true or hurting Pope I don’t know just read some stuff on it
 
Does AZ/ASU being tied early seem hopeful for ASU to anyone who’s watching? I’m in bed but for some reason latched onto the idea of a big Bobby Hurley upset.

Only question in the Texas-Vanderbilt game is if the fans rush the court. North Carolina -Stanford in a tight one. I don't know who Ebuka Okorie is but North Carolina cannot stop him as he already has 33 points.
 
I don't think we're dropping more than 1 or 2 in the Big East if we stay healthy but we can drop a third and still have a 1 seed locked up when all is said and done.

Watching ASU vs Arizona, color commentator just mentioned UConn’s only loss being to Arizona and that we were down Reed an Mullins.

I think we’ve done a good job of ensuring that’s the narrative. I listen to a lot of podcasts, pundits, etc. (like most here, I imagine), and that loss never gets brought up without our injuries being mentioned. Would be easy to just see one team beat the other and move on.

I noticed that, too. I am glad that Arizona loss never gets mentioned without the qualifier that Reed Jr. and Mullins did not play. Congratulations to Arizona for the win and they deserve to be ranked #1 for now.
 
UNC blew that game but Stanford is pretty good this year

Cal giving Duke everything they can handle

Michigan only up 8 at Washington as well. It's been between 4-8.

TCU up 9 on BYU.

Awesome slate of 1030/11 pm games
 
Hannes Steinbach played with Riebe for the German national team. He was impressive there and cool to see him put up 18/11 for the west coast Huskies. The obvious play here is to portal him for next year and put up the Berlin Wall in Storrs.

Side note: the human bowling ball himself, Roman Siulepa (Australia), is going for 9pts/4reb for Pitt. .7 assist a game. Never change, Roman.

He'll be in the draft, first round pick.

This was what happened in this similar stretch of the season in 2023-24.

  • Loss at Hall
  • Down late to St. John’s at home
  • Rolled a bad DePaul team
  • A game at Butler we only led by 1 with three minutes to go.
  • A game we led by 14 at Xavier before X cut it to 3 in the final minute.
  • A very underwhelming 13-point home win over a lousy Georgetown team.
  • A good defensive win against Creighton - but our offense got bogged down a bit in the second half and a 20 point lead was cut down to 10.
  • A one-point win at Nova
  • an A+ game against Xavier where we saw how good we could be
  • A meh home win over PC where we only led by 5 with two minutes left.
  • A meh home win over Butler where we only led by 5 with two minutes left.

That team had to evolve a bit during the dog days of the big east season to get to the juggernaut they were at the end. They didn’t always put teams away. They didn’t dominate weaker teams at home. But we were building a nice lead in the standings and then we started to look like the team that would cut down the nets by the end of the regular season after the hiccup in Omaha (crushed Hall in the rematch, crushed Nova at home, emasculated PC on their senior day, etc.).

The ‘yard really handled that stretch well.

His seat is boiling hot. And honestly it should be.

Kentucky fans are nuts, though, almost literally rabid. It's his second season, he made the s16 in his first season, give the guy a chance.

Texas gonna knock of Alabama and Vanderbilt back to back, that win might turn out better than expected

The SEC has gamed the NET really well this season by pounding low majors. As a result, Texas doing well will help UConn’s NET and other efficiency ratings. This also explains why St. John’s, which played a lot of SEC teams, does so well in efficiency ratings despite a mediocre record.
