November: Other NCAAB Games

[I Bleed Blue]

It's Dayton tomorrow. Ugh. Wanted a chance to redeem with a ranked matchup with ISU.

Have him go 0-7 from 3?

Even when he’s missing he’s impacting. Great decision maker, good pocket passes, strong when he gets in the lane. I was skeptical about him being high in mocks initially but I see it now.

Also for Kansas, I love Zeke Mayo’s game. Smooth as hell.

Yeah, and if we lose to Dayton, our metrics and rankings are going to plummet further.

I just wanna win man.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Really? The Board at defcon 1 and youre compelled to make a snide KU remark ? Sorry the rest of us don’t root for multiple blue bloods

Well it’s just my good fortune then. I’m still UConn first no matter what. This has been a good ballgame. Expected it would be close.

 

[uconn_jack]

I think we'll get better with a chance to finish the season in the top 10, but right now, we would get smoked by any of these ranked teams playing tonight.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Knuepel reminds me of a bigger Colin Gillespie. Just bully balling people and making smart plays.

Left hand from Cooper is pretty sick.

Honestly, super entertaining feast week so far other than UConn losing. Watching these other high ranking matchups, its pretty clear we don't pass the eye test so far as far as upper echelon teams. I think we get better throughout the season once the rotation settles. Its also a down year in the big east so it seems...

 

[HooperScooper]

lol...Hunter Dickinson. C'mon, man.

You'd do the same if you had a chance to kick a Dukie in the head.

Get your late evening coffee ready lol

Only thing I really see is that all these other top teams play defense without fouling constantly and we don't. They're all way better than us defensively at the moment. None of these teams have more individual talent than UConn except for maybe Duke because of Flagg.

They showed it later (I didn’t tune in to see it live), just quickly, and it didn’t seem that egregious to me. Wasn’t as good as Rod Sellers.

That's probably fair, and I think defense (without fouling) can be worked on, but we will still need to figure out the guard situation.

Rod Sellers “giving him the business down there”

Both these teams have more talent than we do unless we see what we need from Nowell, Ross and Stewart.

Gee, ya think??

I feel better now that Hurley made the switch to Nowell being the other point guard. I'm glad he didn't wait any longer.

He now needs to start Reed from here on out. Start and play your best players, solidify the lineup. The defense badly needs to be figured out and players need to know their roles.

Yeah I mean Kansas definitely does too.

Kansas has a lot of very good college vets but Bidunga is the only really good NBA prospect I see. Flagg is obviously more talented than everyone and Malauch isn't all that much smaller than Clingan and will probably turn into a force. Knueppel is good but Liam is better IMO. I still don't think much of Duke's guards.

I wanted a shot at ISU going into the CU game but not after…I can’t imagine being on the team plane home if we go 0-3. Id probably buy my own ticket lol

Dayton played ISU and UNC pretty much to a standstill. If we don't stop the fouling and start D-ing up we'll end up 0-3.
