January: Other NCAA Games

[RuffRuff]

Flagg on a 2 on 1. Looked like he should have passed, but ended up leaping from what looked like the foul line for a dunk. This lad is an athlete. Reminds me of Larry Bird. BTW….4 airballs and no points for NC St in the first four minutes of the second half. Duke up 4 now.

Kid is a far better athlete than Larry. There was only one Larry. Jokic is the closest thing we’ve seen.

Dukes undoing will be on the offensive side of the ball. They run nothing. Their roster would be exactly the type Hurley could go to school with.

Flagg is awesome but the rest of this Duke team is unimpressive.

Cannot disagree. Without him, they have no offense.

I'm watching this Duke game and I'm not seeing all the hype I've read on here the last week or two. I'm sure they're pretty good and better than this game but they don't look like world beaters.

The second half of this Duke game has been like a fever dream. Maluach puked all over the court then some girl in the crowd had to get dragged out because she had passed out. Bizarre stuff.

Contagion

I didn’t realize that Duke is the tallest team. I believe shortest player is 6’5”. A lot of defections when they play zone. Too bad Styles had foul trouble for NC State. Parker had some nice buckets as well.

Just saw the Caleb Love shot to send that game into OT. Insane that ISU isn't fouling there

I am looking for a board to discuss UConn basketball but appear to have stumbled onto a Duke/Cooper Flagg board. Can someone point me to the Boneyard?

Arizona started the season 4-5 and now they’re 14-6 and second in the B12 at 8-1. They’re back!

Don't click on the "Other NCAA Games" thread if you don't want to read about other NCAA games.

Arizona has rebounded well from their early season non-conf struggles, I thought they were going to end up being a bubble team once conf play started

 

[REB1094]

In the last 4:07, Tennessee was 2-13. Every one of the 13 was a three

Tough loss

 

[bendm]

UK wins at Tenn without Butler or Kriisa

 

[aceboon]

Kansas playing like they have a hangover from the choke job vs Houston, if they drop a home game to UCF sound the alarm

 

[jibsey]

Kentucky is 4-3 in conference has lost 5 times and Tennessee is 4-4 yet they are ranked 12 and 8.

Pretty much what happens when you lose to other highly ranked teams after putting in work in the non-conference, you lived through the late 00s/early 2010s to have already seen this happen in the Big East.

Their PG is out.

Their PG is out.

Still surprised its a 50 point swing from their last meeting on UCF's floor, they seem to have woken up now tho

 

[Gurleyman]

Dayton lost by 22 to the Bonnies.

We need to win some of these big games coming up.

 

[aceboon]

UCF had the wrong player driving there down 1, you could see the turnover coming

 

[RuffRuff]

Nice when you have a team that can generate offense off defense, like Marquette is displaying right now against Butler. They were slow playing until the 12 minute mark, then took a 4 point deficit and turned it into a 9 point lead within 3-4 minutes almost entirely off defense.

The Marquette-StJ games will be fun.

 

[aceboon]

These college refs basically telling teams to foul in an up 3 situation, UCF was fouled intentionally while the shooter was gathering to go up in his shooting motion and the refs wouldn't give him 3 FTs, ala Diarra

I should have seen this first before posting

 

[AllHusky]

Caught the last quarter of Pitt over UNC
Well that was a work of art

 

[ec33]

Another look at adding St. Louis to the Big East? They appear to take it seriously.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Another huge night of D3 basketball in CT. #1 undefeated Wesleyan (first time ever ranked #1 nationally) vs #9 Tufts in Middletown. Should be an awesome game. All their games are streamed free if anyone wants to watch: Wesleyan Athletics - Team Page - NSN

Did Painter find Braden Smith on an Amish farm, ala Kingpin? Looks like a guy that would be driving a horse and buggy to the local farmers market to deliver fresh eggs. Kid can ball. Good one at Mackey. IU surprisingly hanging tough in this one.

IU gets screwed on a clear missed shooting call down 1.

Best Amish PG in the country

Sure is - definition of do not judge a book by its cover. Clutch jump hook by their big down the stretch. Purdue likely top 5 preseason next year with their Big3 coming back. Might be smart for Painter to open up the NIL purse this cycle to go grab a quality transfer and take advantage of that group, as they’ll be graduating out after next year. They’re pretty thin beyond the 3.
