November: Other NCAAB Games

[aceboon]

Can we talk about the fact that the announcers for the Memphis/San Francisco game on ESPN+ are both in their 80s? One is 84 and the other is 82.

The play by play guy was in Rocky IV. The color guy graduated from San Francisco in 1962.

Haven't heard Barry Tompkins since Showtime Boxing went off the air, didn't know he did basketball games. Who is doing the color commentary with him?

After the game Pitino called Drew 'unethical'. Wow, just wow.....

Didn't he say the same thing about Hurley last year because he was working the refs and complaining about calls?

 

[HooperScooper]

Ooooof

Well at least Tennessee started scoring in the 2nd half. The first half looked ugly.

ACC and Big 12 are off to dodgy starts in the hoops season. What could they do to improve their basketball status?

Pitino’s bad coaching in that game was borderline unethical. Someone on the bench is responsible for tracking what defensive adjustments the opponent is making, yet St. John’s did not adjust at all to Baylor’s at any point in the second half.

Also a total lack of addressing their offensive adjustments in second half, Baylor scored 47 and a lot of it was off offensive rebounds.

Worth nothing Memphis won last night on the road against a scrappy SF team in a defensive battle, to go 4-0 and now KP33.

Probably add McNeese and Arkansas State

True, but Pitino calling another coach unethical is kind of like Danny Devito calling someone short.

Pitino does have a point there, as Drew's reputation inside bball is not that of a choir boy. Think about how he has gotten all of these All Americans to go to Waco, TX of all places.
HOWEVER, Pitino is absolutely no better.
They are truly two peas in a pod.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

He wasn’t talking about Drew’s reputation, he was talking about going to the monitor before his guy bricked those free throws.

If anything brilliant gamesmanship - Pitino just being pissy because he lost and got outcoached badly in 2nd half. This is common of him. Then when he calms down he tends to realize he was a butthead.

Va scored 42. Sheesh.

At least they were consistent. 21 points in each half.

He lost last night because of the officials and the "unethical" move by Drew. Last year the problem was that his assistants brought in the wrong guys. Nothing is ever Ricky's fault.

Brilliant leadership on his part.

Creighton has looked overrated all season. They’re a one man show right now

Pop Isaacs is FAST

Game is being discussed in the BE vs OOC thread.

Not allowed over there for whatever reason. I think I said the BE sucks too much.

We both got removed. Creighton has a murderers row coming up, losing this to their in-state rival wouldn't be good.

Johnnies blew it so badly last night but everyone can tell they're good.

Guilty as charged

Baylor getting shelled by Tennessee 4 mins into the game, 16-2.
