January General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

[gsmooth]

BYU has no chance of AJD can't make his open looks. Zo a is outplaying BYU big time so far. Zona shreds that full court pressure. Hopefully BYU has a comeback in them.

 

[Mr. French]

Shabazz Napier with the shout out!

 

[uconngb]

I wish Reed had a little Awaka in him. That guy brings it

 

[RuffRuff]

Jaden Bradley might be my favorite player to watch this season. I'm not sure I've seen him make a single bad play the entire season.

He is smooth - and his pullup J is silk. Him and Burries compliment each other nicely.

 

[KingAG]

AZ toughest test to date was a 60% UConn. The rest of the country isn’t as good as advertised imo. A lot of inflated records.

 

[superjohn]

You never said anything other than Michigan Michigan Michigan until they lost. You know we can all just go back and look right???

Yes but his first love was Purdue.

They're a different team at this point - I'd throw that game out the window at this juncture. I think it means absolutely nothing. Player for player on a neutral court today:

Bradley or Silas
Burries or Solo
Ivan K or Mullins
Peat or AK
Krivas or Tarris

AZ is a lot bigger.

 

[gsmooth]

Zona is good, really good. Them being #1 is resembling UMass being #1 in 1996 when UConn was #2 waiting for a loss by UMass that never came.

It would be nice if UConn could get the #1 ranking, and I know the players value it, but I am more concerned with them just elevating their level of play much higher than it has been the last few games.

Later Edit with 1:11 left: Arizona will hold onto the #1 ranking. UConn just has to take care of business against PC and Creighton and if they do we can consider this a great week.

 

[DogMania]

BYU shot selection is not good. And they can’t hit much.

AJD shoots an elbow J. Watches it miss and stands there as the play continues around him. Oof.

Noticed that too. Big turn off for me. I realize he's super talented but not the type of behavior I'd ever want to see from a player on my team.

BYU displays a ton of lack of discipline on both ends of the court. Constant defensive breakdowns.

Neither team runs great sets, but Zona definitely has a lot of talented players.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Surprised this game isn’t close. AZ is awesome, but BYU is, too.

 

[KingAG]

My point went completely over your head. You don’t have to defend AZ, that wasn’t a shot at them lol.

It was a shot at the rest of there schedule , that no one could put up a better fight than a 60% UConn team.

 

[uconngb]

I would too seeing as we were missing 2/5 of our starting lineup

Oh but he does….they are his darling now. Until they lose of course. Then he’ll latch on to someone else. Anyone but UConn of course.

 

[gsmooth]

If ByU is going to comeback it has to start now. Foul bait if they have to, they are at home so they are more likely get the calls.

You genuinely wonder why people question you?

 

[uconngb]

AJD throwing up enough bricks to build the mansion he’s gonna buy next year

 

[sdglast]

Interesting to watch how this game is officiated. They are letting them play through contact. You would never see this in the Big East in a UConn game..LOL

 

[KingAG]

It’s insane. His immediate instinct is to defend team A and down play UConn

 

[thekollieman]

Gonna take a wild guess that he's not having any issues in that department. BYU or not.

I think his point is that officially at BYU that is against the code of conduct. There has been at least one basketball player in the past who was removed from the team (possibly expelled from school?) for admitting to premarital sex. Like 15 years ago I recall a case.

 

[superjohn]

Jaden Bradley might be my favorite player to watch this season. I'm not sure I've seen him make a single bad play the entire season.

I like him too, he's extremely similar to Silas.

 

[gsmooth]

Bad call, but Koa Peat's shot to beat the clock in the prior possession is what caused Saunders to jump

If that's what you meant........

So is our win against UF better than theirs? How would you feel right now if we went on the road at BYU?

Like I said, I would toss that UConn game here months later. Burries is now their leading scorer when he was barely touching the box score back then.

You genuinely wonder why people question you?

Do you actually pay attention, or do you just jump at any inkling of what you translate as anti Uconn (which it isn't). Brayden Burries, 9th ranked kid, was barely contributing when we played them. Now he's their top scorer. That would constitute a very different team make up. 2 months is a long time.

His name is Brayden Burries and for the 50th time Tarris and Braylon didn't play that game.

It’s obviously what I meant when I referenced a 60% UConn being their toughest test. I then proceeded to say how that shows me the rest of the country is overrated. This what not a UConn VS AZ point. You’re making it that with your incessant need to defend your new darling. Nothing was said to downplay AZ yet here you are, cape on and flowing in the wind. Give it a rest. Please.

I mean it’s actually insane. How you read a diss at AZ into anything I said. Lmfao

BYU making this a game, and AZ self destructing
