This week in College Basketball

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

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.

 

[ucawn]

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

 

[ASweet3781]

After Powell hit a 3 to put Seton Hall up 16, Willard took a timeout and Oregon goes on a 10-0 run. Overcoaching.

 

[ASweet3781]

Powell is amazing.

 

[ASweet3781]

Seton Hall has all this experience and this is what they are doing down the stretch? No adjustments at all from Willard. Catching it in the corner and playing right into Oregon's trap.

 

[ASweet3781]

I forgot what an absolute nightmare it is to root for Big East teams. Outside of UConn and Nova they will all choke when it counts.

Seton Hall is imploding.

 

[UconnU]

We would curb stomp Cuse by 30+ this year.

Damn shame.

All I want for a Christmas is a future James Bouknight vs Buddy Boehiem matchup.

Can’t believe they lost. Completely fell apart

 

[ASweet3781]

Can’t believe they lost. Completely fell apart

Embarrassing.

 

[billybud]

I guess I like it when Seton Hall loses...

When they talked 7 footer Ike Obiagu into transferring after his freshman season at FSU (after helping get them to the Elite Eight), some thought something was fishy. He announced transfer and two weeks later was at Seton Hall.

After Willard's recent sanction for tampering with transfers, Noles are convinced more than ever that he tampered.

Obiagu was on his way to setting Nole blocking records and was set to become an integral part of the team. He never was going to be an offensive power, but his blocks changed opponent's games. He played 10 minutes average but had 71 blocks.

 

[awfuldan]

Temple off to a good start on #5 Maryland. They have a win over USC already and are thus far unbeaten

Yep watching this game too. I don’t know how Maryland moved into the top 5 without proving anything. Getting outworked by Temple right now. And what a play to end that half by Temple to put them up 6!
