TCU crushed WV 71-5
Can Prince win b12 POY with the negative (personal) publicity?

OT for NC State and ND.

No

 

[cancontent]

nc st gonna gag this one away against ND. Gives up an awkward buzzer 3 when they had fouls to give. OT

Lobo made the point and while I agree, I'm all for more playing time between these two. This has been a fun back and forth in my opinion.

I'm kind of thinking coaches have some advance metrics that tell them it's better to play straight up and take your chances that the other team won't hit a 3. I think they're wrong. The fact that there's a chance at all of letting a W in regulation get away from you tells me it's not worth it. By comparison how many times does a team hit 1 FT, miss the second on purpose and then get an O board and put back? Almost never. Buzzer beating 3s are fairly common.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I thought Miami was gonna blow a very winnable game at home against Wake Forest, but they pulled it out by 2.

 

[nwhoopfan]

2 OT

 

[cancontent]

Guessing I'm the only one happy about double OT?

I don’t generally agree with fouling when you’re up 2 because unless you have smart experienced players, I think there’s a decent chance they mess it up and foul a shooter. But when you’ve got fouls to give, I’m inclined to use them.

However even fouls to give can be misused as we saw in last years SECT. Tenn fouled SC streaking up the court about to shoot a desperation bomb. The foul allowed SC to get setup , run a play, and most importantly throw the ball 30 feet without the clock running.

UCLA held the #1 spot for a long time. Now are we going to start see it changing hands on a weekly basis?

 

[LETTERL]

NC State/Notre Dame an instant classic.

 

[azfan]

[Plebe]

NC State is tough to beat in that small gym

Courtney, perhaps if you were coaching instead of posting your team wouldn't be trailing at the half?

 

[Bjbod]

Game far from over, but Iowa leading UCLA 36-29 at the half.

 

[triaddukefan]

Good thing you forewarned us. I'm not sure we would have known otherwise.

 

[Vowelguy]
