November: Other NCAAB Games

[Hey Adrien!]

I'm currently laughing at Syracuse this is good entertainment.

Even more crazy that Le Moyne didn't even dress Darrick Jones Jr., their fifth-year senior who finished last season as the most efficient offensive player in the NEC.

I believe Le Moyne had 3 starters out. They played some DII team with 3 staters out in the last game and would have been in a real game for the first half if that team could make 30% of wide open 3's. Cuse coach is bad, but their board can't figure that out.

It could mean something or not. The Conwell kid at Xavier passes the eye test.

Dauster, no sh|t schools will copy UConn’s successes in the repeat championship run. Clearly, a thermodynamic nanotech engineer.

It's Wagner, but Dylan Harper for Rutgers is looking pretty good

The game to be watching is Arkansas - Lipscomb

Wow - the handle, the passing, so smooth.

So after all the talk from IU fans that Woodson was modernizing the offense this offseason…. Runs out pretty much the same offense against SIUE and largely struggled to pull away from a bad team until the very end. Took only 16 3’s as a team all game. Feels pretty clear that Woodson is unwilling or incapable of changing.

Our old buddy Rahsool Diggins put up 26 in the opener and hit 8 threes. Happy for him!

Gonzaga's up 40, but VJ Edgecome just absolutely baptized Mark Few's son.

The whole Gonzaga section turning their heads lol

Dauster is like the worst "homer" UConn fan ever. Dude undercuts the team any chance he gets. I think he wants to try and preserve the "I'm a rational UConn fan" image, but he just comes across as a tool.

The Squid and the Hogs evidently struggled to a 16 point win at home.

Just a rundown on those who transferred away to D1 schools:

Springs (QU): Not a great first two games for him, with zero points and a total of 3 boards.
Brown-Ferguson (URI): Solid first game with 11 points and 6 boards

Diggins (UMass): Great first game for them with 26 points and 3 assists. More of a scoring PG than a passing out it appears.
Floyd (PC): We all know this one but 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists (He just never seemed to improve at all in college, IMO)

Roumoglou (Richmond): 19 minutes off the bench but only 3 points but 3 boards and 2 assists
Johnson Jr. (walk-on at UConn) (scholarship at Utah Valley): 5 minutes, 1 foul

Springs (QU): Not a great first two games for him, with zero points and a total of 3 boards.
Brown-Ferguson (URI): Solid first game with 11 points and 6 boards

When Springs transferred to Quinnipiac I thought he was going to kill it there. He just always looked the part when he came into games at UConn.

Didn’t see this mentioned or I missed it but Koby Brea had a nice game going 7/8 and 4/4 from 3 In Kentucky’ opener.

Kansas - Carolina game is good. Both teams playing pretty well for early season. Dickinson’s offensive game is just so impressive. Looks like he’s defending better now, as I thought he might. Carolina looks like a typical Davis team, solid defense, hustles, it’s definitely smaller up front than in the past.

Kansas unsurprisingly has a ton of weapons and the offense is looking very in sync. Gonna be a question whether they can get Dickinson, Griffen, and Storr to defend consistently at a high level, but they’re going to be an elite offensive team.

 

[ScottCT]

It's seems like Kansas plays every big game at home. It's seems like they're never on the road for these type of games.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I’m not entirely convinced UNC has any offensive sets. Just swing the ball around the perimeter until a guard takes a contested drive to the basket. Essentially nothing happening off-ball.

Really? At Creighton and Missouri later. Neutral vs Duke and Michigan State. Last year at Illinois and Indiana, and Marquette, Tennessee and Kentucky neutral. They don’t schedule soft.

Griffin is a good defender. The UNC pre game analysis I looked at talked about how he was a defensive problem for RJ when at Bama. Storr will need to defend to play just like Hurley does it. I think Hunter can be average if he’s not trying to play 30 a game. He won’t be an impact defender but in the past he often didn’t contest things to avoid fouls.

Well I’m not sure we’re going to see them tested defensively tonight. Barely looks like Hubert prepared an offensive game plan for tonight. Admittedly it’s one half against one of the best teams in college bball, but UNC does not look like close to a top ten team so far.
