Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[UCfor3]

Didn’t UConn fans want Hurley gone just a few years ago?

Only the lunatic fringe and the dopes.

Feels like NC State is the better team. Getting better looks.

[AzHusky]

The big guy from NC state is quick.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Maybe Kentucky will hire Pitino. He could get a new most unenjoyable experience in his life.

At thIs point, going from St John’s to Kentucky is a lateral move.

Take the Squid into the deep waters, and he will drown every time.

Thoughts on the Day.

11s seem to be the new 12s

Most teams run horrible offense. Our offense is just so far ahead of some of these teams. Even Nevada coached by Alford was running 20 year old ISO stuff. Other than Kansas right now I haven’t seen any real passing/motion offense. I didn’t watch every game.

This squid interview is the worst, basically blaming the players for "not playing the way they can play"

Lololol

They just called an offensive foul on DJ Burns’ arse. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Classic Calipari….

What a major D I C K

It’s early, but Self is really good with time to prepare. Jayhawks look ready for this. I worry about fatigue and what happens when they go to the bench.

Self is a really good coach for sure. Kansas could have been a Fianl Four threat with McCullar. Dickinson has been successful against Edey so he wouldn’t be fazed going against him. Without MCCullar I just don’t see Kansas going to the Final Four since their rotation wasn’t all that deep to begin with.

Tim Duncan used to do that all the time

If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were flipping off the Mojo right now.

He realized long ago that’s how to market himself, cuz he ain’t out-coaching anyone.

I’ve been on this “Cal is an awful coach” train since Memphis days

Who hasn’t been?? The guy is literally the biggest fraud in college bb and has been for over a decade

I agree. This game worried me because Samford is deep and forces turnovers. But with McCullar out they are really a huge team. Can just throw over the press. Harris is still a wizard ball handler too. They could still beat Purdue, IF they get shooting from the guards. But Tennessee? They can’t hang with Tennessee.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Offensively TTech reminds me of SDSU from last year. Nothing really stands out as their thing.

Surprised Kansas is handling Samford this easy so far

Sanford is just way too small to handle Dickinson and Adams.

That was factual basketball content.

[AzHusky]

looks like Samford is making Kansas play faster than they would like.

Is that Jonathan driving that Nissan Pathfinder in the commercial?

You think they want him back after 25 years?

 

[auror]

Burns picks up 3rd foul with 18 min left.

 

[Bomber36]

Burns picks up 3rd foul with 18 min left.

And if he doesn’t think that’s a foul, he’s living in a dream world.

 

[Minicoop69]

Is that Jonathan driving that Nissan Pathfinder in the commercial?

Yes. I've seen it multiple times and that's an awesome spot to be in

 

[gsmooth]

Damn. That is frustration built up over the last few years of early exits.

 

[superjohn]

Is Cal allowed back in the state of Kentucky?

 

[GameTime]

Oops.
