March Madness Day 3

Not to harp on KO, but notice how URI is a bunch of smurfs compared to Duke, yet they have a 3 guys in position boxing out on every defensive rebound?
 
We're seeing size and talent win out against experience here. URI just don't have the personnel to compete with a team like this.

Plus they are settling for too many midrange shots. Might as well work for some open 3s if you can't get anywhere near the rim.

Rhode Island's zone offense looks familiar.

That's what happens when you have no size inside, and you are playing against a long zone. K has the right idea.

Come on, dude. Duke is significantly bigger than them and stuffed them at the rim a number of times. You can't prep for Duke's size and length. Our offense looked like this against Tulsa, not Duke.

We would have lost to this Duke team by 40. No sarc.
 
looks like Hurley has trouble against zones too.... one of the biggest things UConn can't seem to figure out
 
Can Boeheim and Krzyzyzyzyzyzyzski just retire already? They were there before & after Calhoun.

It's just not fair. :confused:

Bagley is absurdly talented. He single handedly dominated Iona, and Oklahoma showed that Rhody is weak inside. No way they were gonna compete with someone like Bagley down low

Terrell has been awful.

Not the most encouraging performance for those of us (myself included) who want to see Hurley on our sideline.

Hopefully with a higher caliber of recruit, Hurley will be able to implement a more attractive offense.

They are gonna keep K alive with a blood drip, a feed bag, and some scaffolding on the side line. Guy's got another 20 years.

Pretty sure Boeheim is a zombie.

Just curious, is there anyone here who actually doesn't like Coach K for any good reason?
He's hard to hate.

What did people expect? Duke is significantly more talented. Bagley is absurd. And they're significantly taller and longer than URI. I don't blame any of this on Hurley.

People talking about how Hurley can't play against zones off of games against teams like Duke (and somehow reading it into a game against OU where they played mostly m2m).

You're looking at 4 well coached NBA players against an A-10 team.

Further more, never has a fanbase been so 'one game determines all' than we have been this past year.

I really enjoyed the offense they ran against OU. Spread them out, got shots at the hoop and got good looks from 3. But when your tallest player is 6'8" and earthbound, they got blocked a lot and had to adjust.

Against Duke...I mean this is a mean, peak Syracuse-level zone with it's length. And URI still generated a number of good looks early on only to get stuffed at the rim.
