January General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Lol. That was horrific.

 

[RuffRuff]

I am pulling for PSU.

As bad a final shot as it gets - were they even coached in that TO?

 

[uconn_jack]

What the hell did they draw up in the TO?

 

[navery12]

That last possession looked all too familiar as a UConn fan

 

[KingAG]

That Penn State guard should lose his scholarship...

 

[blkknight1]

I was screaming at the TV what the hell are you waiting for do something with it. You dont have time to dribble back and forth.

 

[RuffRuff]

For some reason I don't believe you. Lol

Rule of thumb as it comes to RR - I ALWAYS pull for:

1 - Uconn
2 - BE
3 - Underdog

I notice really good teams, size them up, but like when they lose. I like anything that helps UConn.

I have backup favorite teams in two sports (NFL - LAC to NEP, MLB - A's to Mets).

Michigans armor weakened a bit. Should have lost to a really bad team there.

 

[bendm]

Dude must be brain dead. No signs of life after the buzzer either.

 

[superjohn]

So you're telling me the best college basketball team ever only beat Penn State by 2 points in an empty building and Penn State was without their leading scorer?

That's now two games the greatest college basketball team ever should've lost.

That one won't help their KP. But boy, was that an ugly performance.

Another tactic to beat UM - hack a Mara.

That game keeps AZ firmly one.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

In his defense i dont think anyone else on Penn state wanted that

He did it on two straight possessions. What a d***head. I would have completely lost my spit if a teammate did that in my men's rec league when I was still playing. Dileone had a chance to pull off the upset of the year, and he wastes two possessions.

They were never invicible. They've won by the biggest margins. Which deserves respect. But we've arguably beaten better teams overall. Gonzaga is looking shaky almost losing to Seattle U.

 

[homunculus]

Penn State looked like it was their first time playing together, and they had a shot to win it at the end. And the quality of that shot did not break the pattern.

No one is invincible. Weirdest stat in that game - PSU had 15 offensive rebounds, 9 more shots than UM

 

[BigTenFan]

Every top team is going to a have a few games like this .
I think this result makes Michigan even more dangerous.

 

[KingAG]

I fact checked this and its true. Penn State with Mingo is rate lower on KenPom than DePaul.

You had me fooled

MY lord. Had UConn done this against DePaul no one would be saying this. Let us have some fun lmao

Was gonna say, there is such thing as healthy losses, and perhaps even better, close calls against bad teams. I wouldn't want to play the team they're going up against next. Sometimes I even wonder if coaches like these kind of games in spots where teams get a little too confident.

 

[FightOnCT]

Penn State was down a starter. It’s ok to say they did a bad job tonight lol. We were blowing a fuse because we started off slow against Marquette.

 

[RuffRuff]

You had me fooled

No idea how that frontcourt gets outrebounded 43-37 and gives up 15 O rebounds. Maybe PSU's tactic, since UM likes to get out and transition, was to crash the O glass.

There is no sugar coating beating the KenPom 122 team without their best player by 2, when the spread was 22.5. We don't have to put lipstick on this. Let's give them the same smoke wed give our own team.

I don't disagree with you, but DeLeon has to do better. Look at my post below yours . He looked like lost track of time and played way too casually on his last 2 shots. Maybe the coach deserves blame because it doesn't look like he drew up anything.

 

[uconn_jack]

I need a little excitement, switching over to GTown v DePaul.
