November: Other NCAAB Games

[TheChamps990411]

The sad part is he probably regrets his choice.

Imagine him on this squad with the current roster. Yikes

 

[TheChamps990411]

i doubt it.

i agree. The regret will set in when Hurley raises a third straight trophy above his head.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

i doubt it.

I don’t know. I mean he’s gotta realize by now that Scheyer’s only a good coach this side of Danny DeVito.

 

[CL82]

How quickly some forget that just 2 years ago, we had 4 to their 5 (god I hate that you are making me defend Duke’s status as an excellent basketball program historically. I feel dirty now…lol)

Yes, and once Romans ruled the world. They don't anymore.

 

[uh-no]

kid doesn't seem dumb. he certainly would have watched duke the past 2 years...

 

[EnochRoot]

The sad part is he probably regrets his choice.

I doubt it. He had to know Hurley is light years better at coaching than Scheyer is. He was fulfilling a childhood dream to play for Duke.

So he'll be content having 90% of the offense flow through him, and yeah, maybe he doesn't make it out of the first weekend in March.

He's likely the #1 pick next June anyway.

It's telling he didn't want to put in the effort to be part of a rotation at UConn's level though.

C'est la vie!

 

[uconngb]

Don't forget Scheyer leaned on "cramps" being the issue - why blame a player or a coach when you can blame cramps?!?!?

I assume he meant menstrual??

Do you think that when he was down to UConn or Duke and he spent all that time up in Storrs, he had already made up his mind? Especially with the connection with Clingan and his mother. I personally feel that it was a very tough decision for Flagg to make between UConn or Duke, and that being said, regretting his final decision is not as crazy as you make it sound. Especially with UConn going for the 3 peat.

It remains to be seen in March whether he will regret or not. He is a tremendous talent and he surely will have a great regular season and eat up the national press coverage as Duke always does.

I mean, it's possible that one day he'll look back and regret not choosing UConn over Duke, but no, guys like that do not let regret enter what they're doing in the here and now. He's committed to winning at Duke, period.

Their moms played together. There was no connection with Clingan. I'm pretty sure they met for the first time when he visited Storrs. I could be wrong about that. What I suspect I'm not wrong about is that the kid hasn't spent a second thinking about playing at UConn since he committed to Duke. This idea that he "regrets" his decision is goofy. He's going to be the 1 or 1a story all season on - as much as we hate to admit the - the highest profile team in college basketball. If he loses in the Sweet Sixteen he's going to be in Miami a day later preparing to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft. He's not going to cry himself to sleep about what might have been in Storrs. I hope this stuff doesn't go on all year.

Don’t look now but the other Hurley may have something this year. After getting slaughtered in the Duke scrimmage, they went to Spokane and took the Zags down to the wire and look really good against a solid GC squad. He managed to ger the 9th and 24th recruits this past cycle in Quintance and Sonon and a nice looking big transfer in Jihad. A very nice core which should get better with the season. They play hard. Not that the B12 needs another good team.

Houston also landed another top recruit this cycle and will have 2 top 20 kids coming into a program that historically doesn’t get burger boys. B12 continues to move on up with its brand of best hoops league.

B12 now has 6 of the top 21 signed guys, and likely to get AJ and Peat, maybe Tiller. The rest are mainly spread across UConn, UK and Duke.

Hey Yormark our football team is going bowling - how about another pitch to the B12 authorities?

Missouri beat Mississippi Valley St by 72 points today. And Missouri isn't even that good!

Point??

Point??

Mississippi Valley St is really bad. That's the largest margin of victory for men's D1 vs. D1 in the last 4 years or so.

Wonder if Kansas State feeling buyer’s remorse on the $2M they paid Coleman “If we played one more time we beat them” Hawkins.

Game 1: 5 points on 2-9
Game 2: 12 points on 3-7
Game 3: 8 points on 3-10

Yeah I wondered what Kansas St. was thinking when they gave him $2 million. Last time I saw him play he didn't look so good.

OT: - UNC Bacot made $2 Million with NIL

Thank god Hurley has the skill set to thrive in this new landscape. Investing money in Hurley and his system provides a better rate of return.

We play a different sport than what’s going on in this Villanova/Virginia game

Nova stuck at 11 for a long time and they are making Virginia look like an offensive powerhouse which conflicts with our memory of Virginia from last year's NCAAT game where they went about 19 minutes of game time between made baskets.

Villanova's players have quit on their coach. Everything about this team is at half-speed. Missed layups, not catching passes, just sloppy, lazy basketball.

Can it get bad enough where they cut him loose mid season?

Yes

Great game between Alabama and Purdue. Both look good.

Freshman Philon for bama is really good. Auburn gave him up for pettiford iirc. Seems like both are studs
