This week in College Basketball

Did you guys hear? Duke lost.

Rejoice

The interesting thing is that Stephen F. Austin hit only 2 threes...They were driving inside a lot.

 

[Hankster]

South Florida getting smashed by New Mexico St right now.

Interested in VA Tech / Dayton after that upset win over Mich St. (is there a letdown).

And how bad is Crean/UGA right now. Getting exposed after playing a light early season schedule.

Also interested in the Auburn / Richmond. Richmond’s already beaten Vandy and Wisconsin. Would love to see the upset v Auburn.

I am surprised South Florida is doing this bad.I thought the ending of last year they were going to be a tough competitor this season. Unless they lost their team?

Great point, Duke can't guard. They have a couple nice scoring frosh but they can't guard anyone.

As mentioned above and spot on, K really did a bad job not getting the ball to Carey more in position to score. Their big gu have 4 fouls for much of the 2nd half and OT yet he didn't run much for him. And again as I've said before Jones is a disaster when he has to score.

Yetna injured for entire season

Dayton vs Kansas at 5:00 today. Should be a hell of a game. Dayton looks really good.

For a team like Dayton getting Kansas on a neutral court is something they have to take advantage of. Dayton has gone from #57 to #23 in KP over the last two games. Offensive efficiency @ #6 nationally. Kansas would never travel to Dayton so the pressure really is on Dayton. Opportunities like this are rare. They know it to.

5 more days til another UConn game, and I'm perusing the listings for today's top matchups with plans to watch other teams. I don't think I realized how shut down I've been the past few years, having largely stopped doing this.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

I hate Kansas... I hope Dayton pulls this off.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Anyone think Carlton can take on Azebouke?

 

[jibsey]

Virginia just beat Maine 40 something to 20 something. Crazy.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Anyone think Carlton can take on Azebouke?

Depends how they call the game. If they're willing to call fouls on Kansas, Azubuike is a non factor. Dude hand checks hard every single defensive possession.

Carlton’s passing and basketball IQ > Azebouke’s offensive game

 

[jibsey]

He scored 29 pts with 4 blocks but 3 rebounds vs Dayton. Not an easy assignment it seems.

 

[ElmCity40th]

To me none of these teams are scary and anyone can be best. I just want UCONN in the dance and just roll the dice, 4,5,6=Chip Cinco.

 

[uchusky32]

Cuse down 11-0 to OKST early. Look terrible. Not the talent of past Cuse teams.

Carlton’s passing and basketball IQ > Azebouke’s offensive game

Azubuike is physically better in every way. Stronger, quicker, faster, better leaper, taller, more wingspan. He’s a terrible FT shooter, fouls too often and doesn’t have Carlton‘s back to the basket offensive moves.

Cuse has 0 talent whatsoever. With recent recruiting woes they’re dropping off a STEEP cliff

You hate to see it.

 

[Dooooooomed]

We would curb stomp Cuse by 30+ this year.

Damn shame.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

As someone who needs Wichita to win, its double annoying that Emmitt Matthews is good.

 

[ASweet3781]

Myles Powell is a scoring MACHINE.

Matthews is the real deal. This is the 2nd game of his that I’ve seen this year and he’s been great in both. I was as big of a critic of KO as any, but they would’ve had players in Akinjo/Matthews.

 

[Austin316]

Then there’s no.7 UVA... averaging 56 ppg and just beat Maine 46-26. Defense? Sure. But the most boring top ten team to watch

 

[ASweet3781]

Jesus. Seton Hall's big men are TERRIBLE. Some of the worst I've seen this year.

Edwards hit a 3 to put Georgia up on Chaminade 80-77 with .6 seconds left. Georgia pulls out the win and get 7th place in the Maui
