Secret Scrimmage Scores | The Boneyard

Secret Scrimmage Scores

Marquette beat Colorado 88-75

And Xavier lost to Murray State 75-70
 
I have a problem with all this! If these are secret scrimmages, how do we know if any of these scores are legit or the games even took place?

Let's make up a UConn 80 Dook 50 fake scrimmage result and see if anyone catches on. 😁

More money more games camouflaged as exhibitions….CBB is like the Wild West. Millions of ways to get creative and make millions. I think it should be a 40 game season if they are going to do this.

“That’s the reason why you’re seeing the high-profile teams playing each other,” Alexander said. “It’s one more game for them to draw 10- or 15- or 20,000 at home, and therefore a lot of revenue that they can put in their pocket to offset what they’re spending.”

Kentucky coach Mark Pope said coaches thought the rule would pass in 2024. He is grateful to finally have the chance to test his Wildcats against No. 1 Purdue and Georgetown in the preseason. Pope even has a number in mind after expanding to 33 games: eight more for 41 a season would be nice.

Michigan only lost by two, but they were emotionally crushed because they lost to Cincy.

Since the players are pros now, might as well have a pro-length season.
 
Would it be accurate to say jizzle was all over them?

In a battle of UConn recruits, Acaden has a nice line, meanwhile Nowell throws up a titanic stinker. 1 dime and 4 TO's while going 1-5 from the field is an egg. Maybe he's just not very good.

 
Nice effort by Nova. Apparently several players were out with injury, but Askew is expected to return earlier than expected in November.

Oddly enough, I was at this game. I was in An Arbor for the football and hockey games this weekend and then we saw there was a basketball game as well and decided to check it out. We only stayed for 3/4 of it but I was also under the impression Michigan got crushed until I came to this thread 😂
 
The Boozers meet the billing. Cam was an absolute monster. What he doesn't have in Flagg's athletecism he may make up for in pure power.

he's incredible. He was a bit soft a couple times with the ball and got it swatted away, but he's the real deal.

Will be a different duke team than was onthe floor this year....not necessarily better or worse, but different. Flagg covered up a lot of things that Boozer might not be able to single handedly as easily.

They will definitely be worse

Watching Boozer play is so weird because it doesn’t look like he’s doing anything special and he ends up with 30 and 10 in a win.

His game is like pure fundamentals.

Yup, unspectacular but super efficient and a winner. He's always in the right place. Like his dad, already looks like a grown man at 18.

It'll be hard for them to be better than last year as they were generally the best team most of the year and lost in the F4 in a game they had in the bag.

They'll be very good - have very high upside as they have 5 stars across their roster, and Dame is considered a potential lottery pick. Little Boozer will probably be getting most of the minutes at PG by end of year (Foster is meh), so their roster will likely have a first round pick at just about every position (Ngongba, Boozer, Dame, Evans, Boozer). I'm still not a believer in Scheyer, but that is a team that should get better as the year advances.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up better. Flagg for all his talent seemed to not be able to get it done in big games scoring wise when it mattered. Especially towards the end of games moreso than point totals.

His defense was generational, I don’t think Duke will necessarily have defensive problems with the talent they have and Boozer may be more capable of carrying a load offensively and being that guy down the stretch.

It depends on whether scheyer can actually coach an offense. Flagg bailed him out for most of last year against a putrid ACC, but in several big games, they proved they had no consistent other ideas.
