Week 19 Other Games

[Jay-Bone]

I like Purdue without Sensabaugh and Key. Freshman Thornton isn't running another miracle.
Mizzou playin so tough yesterday scares me. Brown is legit. Alabama is beyond the distractions I think.
Can Vandy do to A&M what they did to Kentucky? Even without Robbins. My money is on Taylor IV.
Shutdown Landers, Houston cruises.
What Indiana shows up? Schifino is growing up and who stops Jackson? PSU is too small and needs to be too precise from 3 away from home. Love their experience though.
Kendric Davis is a veteran scorer and Tulane isn't UCF. Memphis always scares me.
Texas is really good, but still no Allen. KU been hot. Really tough game to call.
No Vander Plas and my Duke animosity may burn me. Duke isn't terrible anymore, but do they even win without orchmier going down?
No Clark or Bona for UCLA. therefore Zona takes the rubber.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Lots of New England representation in the 11 AM slate:

America East Final: - ESPN 2:
UMass Lowell at Vermont

The Riverhawks off to their best season in program history while Vermont, with a ton of roster turnover and a slow sstart are now have been on a 14-game win streak.

Ivy Semis - ESPNU
Cornell vs Yale

Yale's star is East Catholic alum and Ellington native Matt Knowing, the insanely efficient forward averages 14.5 ppg at 63.0 fg%. Backup forward Jack Molloy is from Greenwich. Personally, my favorite player is Bez Mbeng, their 6'4 195 point guard who is such an aggressive defender and has high-major length.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

While I'm not a B10 fan, I was invited by new boss's husband to watch IU/PSU this afternoon. He's a big IU fan and while I'm indifferent to IU, as I mentioned earlier this thread, PSU intrigues me and I'm a huge Jalen Pickett fan.

They mentioned Matt Vernato who went to UVM after playing ball at Delaware. He earned his undergrad from UConn in between. Did he ever try to play for the Huskies?

He was on the campus for 3 years, it’s such a strange and fascinating story.

Hoping for an IU -Purdue final
Jalen Pickett so much fun to watch. He can create from anywhere on the floor

 

[Ripper32]

Arizona should beat UCLA tonight. No Clark. Bona questionable. Big home court advantage with their fan base. Tommy Lloyd should not lose this this game. Ballo and Ramey can't play as asbysmal as they did in Pauley. Boswell is another one to watch. Freshman sharpshooter who should be stealing some minutes from the injured Kriisa. Score 70+ and win.

Actually Matt Veretto

And now Matt Veretto is off to the dance. Good for him and UVM

 

[Hey Adrien!]

As a freshman at UConn when UVM beat Syracuse, this man brings me pure joy every time I see his face:

 

[Ripper32]

Mizzou is just bothered by Alabama's length. This could get ugly.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Roddy Gayle is slingshotting 5 3's against Goliath in the first half.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Nice play action post route for Mizzou to end the half.

 

[Ripper32]

Mizzou shooting their way back, after being down 10 earlier.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

If this was CBB played in a video game, this PSU-Indiana game is the equivalent of playing on “Beginner Level” vs the quality of the BE games last night.

 

[auror]

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Penn State running a clinic on how not to break a press. And a bonus clinic on how to blow a 12pt lead with less than 2min left

 

[mike012]

Penn st has been impressive in blowing this lead

 

[storrsroars]

Schifino should've listened to Raft and gone strong to the hoop.

 

[Vuce]

That IU loss “should” take care of them not being ahead of us. Lost to Penn State team rated in the 50s. IU will be around 30 in NET vs 8 for us. We had more Quad 1 wins and same amount of Quad 2. We won’t be a 5 seed for whoever was worried about that before

 

[Rocktheworld]

Who's coming with me? Not lovin this slate, but you never know....

Damn you were well on your way until
Indiana happened!

I wasn’t actually worried. More a joke on the NCAA finding ways to screw UConn. I’m still salty over the APR nonsense.

Wasn’t you Hawk - there was another poster who was worried about it. They must not watch other teams in the 4 and 5 seed range because everyone has warts and not as good a resume as we do

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Texas looks good ... but I'm not seeing Big East level D from KU

 

[HuskyHawk]

KU Rebounding has been awful. Defense just meh. They look out of synch and no Self on the sideline. UT shutting down Dick just like Marquette did to Hawkins.
