November General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Another Super Bowl win for a team that plays UK.

They are not very good now, but it’s still the same, teams just get up and play great against UK.
 
Cal being Cal and letting Thomas/Acuff take half his teams shots, and down to Winthrop at the 11 minute to go mark. He just can't help himself.

Wilson with a ridiculous line for UNC. 23pt on 9/13, 12 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks.

Cam Boozer an interesting body type. He has a THICK lower half. Doesn't look like a first pick of the draft to me.

Duke has some serious size and depth, which we know. KU was outplaying them early but they just don’t have the horses with no Peterson and foul trouble.
 
Arkansas up 84-83 11 seconds left. Looks like some ejections are going to happen. I just turned in so I didn't see the altercations.

Arkansas with a late 6-0 run in about 90 seconds to steal one at home against Winthrop

Nick Pringle hit a layup with 12 seconds left to go up 1. A Winthrop guy tackled him to the ground after (?). Pringle then got up, picked him up, and shoved him back to the ground (??). Double T’s. Then 4 guys got ejected for coming off the bench during the fight

Wild ending

There's a video of it posted 5 posts above yours if anyone wants to see it.
 
Winthrop should have kept feeding their big that got into the altercation at the end with Pringle, he was eating against Brazile and then they went away from him
 
Hoping Kansas can make this a game. Going to say something rare, those updated Duke uniforms with the navy and classic script look great.
 
Syracuse after leading by 14 pts in the 2nd half are only leading by 2 with 35 seconds. Emeka Okafor is the in game analyst calling the game for ESPN. Carmelo's son, Kiyon Anthony is playing.

Reminded me that Furphy's teammate (Fennell) on the Austalian U-19 team is on Cuse (he came off the bench for the Aussie team IIRC). He's only averaging 2.7 PPG.

The other player from that team is at Pitt (Siulepa) is averaging 8 and 3.

Pope looked like a VERY defeated man in the post game presser. It's mostly on him at this point in terms of roster and culture. They'll recover from an injury or two but will they be enough of a team to compete at the highest level??

Everything I hear is that they have no chemistry. Just a bunch of guys getting that check and going.

And it sounds like Pope’s fault for not instilling a proper culture. Not necessarily a them getting too much NIL thing.

Not disimilar to pro sports where high paid rosters don't motivate once they're paid. Applause to Hurley for avoiding this route and type of player at all costs. It's part of the art of recruitment in the current era. You may want the tall, leaping athlete, but that player may also not be made of the right DNA for the Uconn program.

Pope really felt defeated - it was a somber presser. He seems like a good guy, and him getting to the S16 last year was a great year one. I'm sure he'll figure it out.

On another note, Cal letting his OAD freshmen run the show at Arkansas, meanwhile had guys like Knox, Richmond and Brazille come back. They may be getting their points, but you wonder how that instills culture and motivates the older kids. They should have lost last night, at home, to Winthrop. There is a psychology in all this that guys like Hurley get.

Reading this after your drooling over those same kinds of players for the past several weeks is something else.

These guys are super athletes! They rule! Man, these super athletes are all head cases. Glad we avoided them
