Week 17 Other Games

[BigErnMcCracken]

Players looked absolutely slow and unskilled. Missed over ten free throws. I would blame it more on talent hitting a ceiling than coaching.

Three weeks ago Benedict crapped the bed hiring Hurley over Pikiell.

As bad as the Pac 12 is this season, it is still ahead of the ACC in both NET and KenPom. The ACC is truly this season.

Oats better make sure he never loses this gig at Bama, I can't see anyone, anywhere consider giving him a job after this.

It is also stunning on a criminal level what the school is willing to overlook. The attorney's statement tells the public that there is sufficient plausible deniability for the school to let him play. While they may not be able to publicly divulge information on this, they could have (and should have) privately asked for far more detail on what happened beyond the brief, carefully crafted statement.

This is without question a situation where the school's stance (from day one) should have been "we aren't letting you play again until we are convinced your involvement was so far removed from this that we can in clear conscience let you play".

He will be hired in a heartbeat. Syracuse would take him in a heartbeat. 100 percent serious

100%. Lunardi has Pitt as a 10 seed and they’re #2 in the conference. The ACC shouldn‘t get more than 3 teams in the tourney (Miami, VA and maybe NC State). Of course, Duke and UNC (somehow) will get in.

IMO, one is either pro-metrics or pro-NET when suggesting who should be in or out. Pitt's metrics aren't good. But their NET holds up against the other three BE teams that aren't yet consider locks.

If you all want to criticize our end of game clock management, this is why you try to burn as much clock as possible:

 

[Hi-Low]

Iowa State has really spit the bit lately....lost 5 of last 6 including at home to OK today. Big 12 just has no easy games.

I had Mich St +3.5 and they were up 10 with 40 seconds to go. How in gods name do I lose that bet?????

 

[jibsey]

BE doesn’t seem to get ranking respect. How is Virginia #6?

Michigan State did everything they could. MSU only had one really bad mistake in that Iowa run, and MSU got a huge bailout call from the refs, and still got tied up. Iowa hit 5 straight 3 pointers.

Fire this program into the sun.

 

[superjohn]

Ballo fouls the hell out of the Arizona State guy on a rebound with ASU down 1 and the announcers don't even mention it.

Tough loss for Bobby Hurley.

Edit- ASU hits a 3 quarter court shot for the win!

 

[I Bleed Blue]

ASU just beat UA on a half court buzzer beater!!! Hurley's 2-0 today!!! AHHHHH

 

[TRest]

Beautiful buzzer beater in AZ State AZ. Just wow.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

ASU just hit a halfcourt shot to beat Arizona at home.

 

[Ripper32]

WOW! Nice afternoon for the Hurley's.

 

[superjohn]

Bobby Hurley magic.

Bobby with the wave to the Arizona crowd as he walks off the court.

 

[Ratso]

great win against arizona!

 

[Excalibur]

Arizona not missing the FT on purpose is one of the dumber moves I’ve ever seen.

 

[TheRealKBuks]

What an ending!

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Was casually watching - jumped out of my seat. Amazing.

 

[Hoophound]

Awesome ending.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Just filthy. Mans knew it was going in as soon as it left his hand. Cold blooded!
