November General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

[RuffRuff]

Really? Most of the pundits lately have been saying it's Arizona.

You realize this can change as teams play? What Michigan just did is the most impressive basketball of the year, and it’s not close.

I disagree. Size doesn’t mean better. Idc how big he is, Taris is better. Alex is better than Morez Johnson. And Gonzaga doesn’t have a Taris either. AZ had the same size advantage against us without Reed. And we should have won

Itd be a good game. I think we win at full health.

Definitely a little homerism in this. Tarris would have a hard time finding easy baskets around a nimble 7’3” guy who blocks shots.

Morez is a much better inside player than AK, who is not a great inside player. We’d have to space them out and run out stuff. Pound for pound they are more talented.

Its Michigan and everyone else right now. Lots of ball to be played until March. Have they peaked too soon ? Can they keep it up?

I don’t see it as much about peaking as it is about the talent on their roster. They are huge and a matchup nightmare. Dusty pulled together a very good team.

Every Big Ten school peaks before Christmas.

Is that because they can't wait to open their presents??

Disagree. Reed would do to Mara what Blair did to Thabeet. Yaxel is talented sure but there’s no one else I’d want to swap any of our starters for. don’t think a team with Elliot Cadeau as starting PG is cutting the nets down.

Let’s disagree then. They have more talent. Let’s not act as though Cadeua, who was a McD AA that couldn’t develop under Hubie, isn’t a solid Pg. With the talent around him he just needs to distribute. They have another McD AA frosh coming off the bench. Kid was composite 3 spots behind Mullins.

They are more talented. Hurley may be able to do some things from a coaching perspective that could give us an edge. You must take the blinders off.

They are more talented

Ok Let’s go through the matchups you’re so big on:
Reed>Mara (indisputable)
AK=Morez
Stew<Yaxel (indisputable)
Ball>Burnett (assuming Ball gets his 3 back)
Silas>Cadeau (indisputable)

Smith>Cason
Mullins = McKenney
Ross<Gayle
Reibe>Tschetter

UConn +3

Sunday: Hey, Syracuse might be better than we thought!

Tuesday: Their season is over.

It’s Syracuse, these are both true statements.

There are a lot of good teams out there. Michigan stands out right now, but they are from the Big10 so there's that

25 years and counting. And they merged with the Pac 12, the only major conference that's waited over 25 years

We vehemently disagree

Went toe to toe with the # 3 team down 2 starters one being our best player. I’ve seen enough. But then again I’m a homer

Ummmmm......Michigan just beat Gonzaga 40 who beat Alabama by 10 who beat Illinois by 4. That was a pretty epic beatdown. But I like the rosy glasses.
