November General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

this is a good season for NBA teams to suck, next season not so much

The other Hurley brother really is a bad coach. I wonder what his major issue is - brought in Sanon & Quantenance last year, nada. Lost Neal to Creighton. He just can't coach.

One applied instructions from a HOF coach better. The other observed and learned what that HOF coach did in getting to players to play at a high level better.

Guy played for K and his dad - almost seems hard to be as bad as he is. Even his spawn is coaching at a high level (Oates).

Watching the athleticism of some of these freshmen makes me really envious. We looked slow and soft all last year. Not sure we’ve really upped our game in that area at all.

Similar concerns. Top of frosh class are dudes. I'm expecting them to rain in March, as a lot of them are with top programs this year. We're still trotting AK out there, who looks like a YMCA level athlete. The plus guys we'll have are Demary, Mullins & Reed, so do have to be patient. Anything returning other than Tarris, we kinda know what they are.

No. 8 BYU's defense was an absolute sieve without Keba Keita, as initially feared. BYU's defense had an 86 defensive rating with Keita on the floor in 37 possessions. It had a 113 defensive rating when he sat for 30 possessions.

So try to get Keita in foul trouble?

First impressions from college basketball's opening week

Here's what we learned from an opening barrage of games and a look ahead at a weekend loaded with tasty matchups.

Purdue and Oakland were tied at 35 at the half. Purdue now up 62-59 with 8 minutes left. Fwiw Michigan beat Oakland by 43.

So does this mean we can count Purdue out as a national title contender? /s

Not sure if I’ve ever seen the Yard have as much fun as this with a single topic

By the way UNC doing a number on Jayhawks

Oakland opens season UM, Purdue, Houston
Talk about crazy scheduling....

Wilson looked great for UNC with 24. Peterson with 22 for Kansas impressed as well.

Outside of Peterson KU's roster is mid

This kid is coming out with a heckuva chip on his shoulder. I like it.

They were without TKR but highlights a possible rebounding issue if he isn’t in the game.

Purdue blog is beside themselves over defense/rebounding issues.
Alabama on the road next week will be a big test

The betting man in me feels they have little chance at winning a NC with all the young talent out there.

Find something you love as much as this dude loves insulting UConn basketball players

THAT IS AWESOME!!! You gotta be able to pay the bills, and apparently he can.

Wondering if we might be able to arrange for a Post Season get together of AK and the esteemed Hoops pundit Mr Ruff?

Carolina is going to cause problems for people with that 6’10”, 7’, 6’10” front court. That’s when they took the lead and pulled away. Wilson’s skill level lets them get away with it. The big Estonian center that transferred from Arizona can shoot a bit outside, so if your center leaves the paint the oversized forwards feast inside.

Boy Bill Self looked flummoxed at the end of the game. Is he in any danger of a warming seat? Expectations and resources committed are very high in Lawrence!

Watching St. Johns vs Bama and St. John,s guards and wings are not doing anything. It’s all Zubi and Hopkins. Bama looks good, lot of time left though. Zubi looks really good though.

Went to UNC game last night. Wilson was the best player on the floor. Veesaar also had an excellent game. Completely controlled Bidunga. A game of two halves. Kansas had an 8 point lead at half. Tiller had 4 threes for Kansas but fouled out after playing 15 minutes with 12 points. Petersen carried Kansas but K defense in second half was horrible as UNC doubled their scoring,58 points vs 29 in first half. UNC finally got some scoring from their guards after half time and shot 67% in the second half. Besides Tiller in the first half, Kansas bench was MIA.

 

[uconnever]

Bama has some really really good guards.
