November General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Really wonder what happened between Uconn & Meleek Thomas, because he is really good. Love Braylon and excited to see him in action, but Meleek brings a certain energy to the floor I'm pretty sure Mullins won't.

Freshmen envy again? 😀

Good to see Steele Venters make his way back onto the court, he had the Klay Thompson cycle of injuries

Watching Gonzaga and OU and wow, Pack is in his 6th year at age 24. Dude has done a wonderful job of cashing in for a college ball player with no real NBA aspirations.

I did a double take when I heard his name in that game. This was the same guy on the Miami 2023 team that went to the Final Four.

It’s weird, I was rooting for Michigan State to win because we beat them. But that was an exhibition and of course has zero impact on any kind of metrics. Only the court of public opinion and convoluted transitive property theories (i.e., we’re better than Arkansas)

My first thoughts also!

 

[AllHusky]

Harley yeah

He likes motorcycles, he’s also friends with HUrley. Better?

Freshmen envy again? 😀

I know, I'm starting to realize I have a heavy dose of it. Maybe that goes away when we get Mullins back. The top of this class is filled with dawgs.

Rough stretch for Acuff - and he got baited into a 3 point foul. In classic Cal style, frehmen Thomas/Acuff took 31 of Ark's 56 shots. While talented, you do wonder how it builds the locker room when the two frosh are given green light like that. Karter Knox, also a projected firsr rounder, came off the bench and got 1 shot. Cal can't help himself but to simply hand over the reigns to his burgers boys right out of the gates.

Let me proof check what I send to make sure I saying nothing that insults that nancy Inyatkin.

Yeah man, nothing tougher than hating the team you root for. Sorry you still have to see bums like Alex Karaban every week

Who said I hated them? I can love Alex while equally recognizing him as not the most explosive athlete in the world. Take the hyperbole as…….hyperbole. It’s not meant to offend.

Mich St hangs on vs Ark, I was expecting Arkansas to look better than that.

They both looked pretty unimpressive in that game. I’d expect both to be better as the season progresses. Arkansas because it’s so many freshman, MSU because Izzo just always seems to follow that path. It is kind of amazing that MSU won with ONE made three pointer. Izzo just refuses to get with the times on that front.
