Maui Tourney (non UConn)

[Kitaman]

Any matchups people find intriguing other than our game? I'm debating how much to watch and what matchups to watch later tonight.

Of course MSU game, but that doesn't look interesting or just worthy of a peek now and then.

 

[Mr. French]

The Iowa St and Auburn game should be excellent.

 

[RuffRuff]

The other side of the bracket will have some amazing games.

Auburn/Iowa St could be one of the best matchups so far this season.

Winner likely plays UNC.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Iowa St/Auburn should be a great game. Two top 5 teams.

[Hey Adrien!]

Iowa St/Auburn should be a great game. Two top 5 teams.

Two of my favorite teams too.

I’ll be fast asleep by then, but I’ll be locked in the DVR tomorrow morning.

 

[Karmacop]

All of a sudden much less interested in these other games....

All of a sudden much less interested in these other games....

Win the next 2 games and they still go home with probably a top 10 win. Not perfect but not a disaster.

 

[Orc]

Michigan st is not a good team.Horrible shooters. Memphis community college should win that game easily.

 

[Dutch Boyd]

We’ve been spoiled the past two seasons winning championships, but there is still two games to be played that count on our schedule so let’s win them. The technical will be what might have been. Also win Saturday and that’s 3-1 this week. For a team that lost so much this is certainly a learning experience and will be for it.

I wanna play ISU so we can see how many times the announcers butcher the ISU head coach's last name.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Their defense/aggressiveness is the foundation of Iowa State's success, but if Keshon Gilbert can consistently attack the rim at a high rate like he's doing tonight, they've got title potential.

Auburn and sleeze ball Pearl getting punked……so there’s that

 

[Jumpman62114]

Watching this ISU/Auburn game right now. If we take care of business against Colorado tomorrow, I think we would be underdogs against either of these teams.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Man, both these teams are REALLY good

 

[Jumpman62114]

I agree, I think we match up a little better with ISU so I'm glad Auburn won but ISU looks like a more complete team that we do right now with a small sample size. First things first, take care of Colorado.

 

[cellocgg]

I'm glad Auburn won, hopefully we get the chance to play Iowa St. Let's show the B12 what we're made of

 

[superjohn]

Dayton smoking UNC at half.

Guard play wins games and championships

This 1000%. Ever see UConn win a natty without a star guard? As awesome and fun as it is to have a star big, we can win without one, but not without stud guards.

Guard play wins games and championships

We’re screwed.

Kenpom has us close to a pickem against ISU but I’d suspect Vegas makes us a slight dog. That will be a tough game for this team to win but a good gauge game for this staff to continue sorting through the roster challenges. I hope Ahmad can get some run.

UNC has the bizarro opposite roster to ours. Too bad there are no in season trades in college hoops. Nice comeback for them.

Not even those who create the computer programs think they give you meaningful results after this few games.
