Week 2: Other Games

[HuskyHawk]

Jay Bilas is unbearable.

I’m enjoying his suffering.

 

[ValleyGuy]

Losses to Penn State and Northwestern the past 2 nights are not great for the Big East and certainly doesn’t help my argument about the Big Ten being overrated…Marquette looked like they wanted to help but..

 

[Kolumbo]

Looks like SDSU (17) is making the most of its window of opportunity, up on Stanford.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

This game is sloppy as hell. Feels like KU should have a bigger lead. The phrase “punchable face” was invented for guys like Scheyer. I’m curious as to how he’d fare without a roster full of McDonalds All-Americans because this squad feels very much like one where he just rolls the balls out and let’s them do their thing.

 

[HuskyHawk]

So, early impressions. KU plays good D. Quick, athletic, lots of steals. Don’t have the rim protector they are used to. They still run really pretty offense. So much motion.

Fillipowski is good. Is he really 7’? Moves really well. Duke is huge. By the end of the year they will be really tough. Look a bit disjointed now.

I don’t know if it’s Scheyer or the fact that they have one player from last year. These guys aren’t on the same page, but when they are, they look pretty hard to match up with. UConn among the few teams that might be big enough.

I won’t watch Duke vs Kansas on principle.

Watching Cal in danger against an 0-2 UC San Diego team. Win or lose this game, the league is off to a start. How is the PAC 12 so bad at basketball?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Duke’s size really starting to pay off. I’m not sure when I’ve seen a bigger group of skilled players. Filliposwski is like a faster more athletic Karaban, who is 7’. Lock lottery pick. I’d love him for the Celtics. Lively is impressive too.

So much D ick

So much D ick

He came up big D late. Jayhawks played really well the last few minutes. That should seal it.

I didn't see any of that game, but I'm having a really hard time believing Duke could find a qualified HC with a face more punchable than K's.

 

[tzznandrew]

“punchable face”

My favorite German word: backpfeifengesicht

 

[huskyfan224]

Jay Bilas is unbearable.

So is Vitale. But man, Scheyer is almost as unbearable as K. Hated him as a player and now on the sidelines he is such a tool

 

[whosurdaddy2720]

UK, dook, cuse and Louisville all lose.

It was a good day.

Yes, and the foul he’s whining about was obvious. But he’s really freaking good. We should be glad he won’t be there for years like Laetner. I think he’s better than Lively.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Northern Kentucky about to beat Cincy. Will be there biggest upset in team history and even sweeter against a local “mid major”.

 

[auror]

Texas just absolutely stomped Gonzaga. And Timmy Allen was bad! Home game, so that helped, but damn. Looks like KenPom may have been right with them in the top 3 to start the year. If Hunter is going to make 40% of his 3s this year, they are going to be scary. Our old friend Sir'Jabari Rice from NMSU a key part of their rotation and getting starter minutes.

#24 Texas A&M goes down to Murray State in the Myrtle Beach Invitational quarterfinals, 88-79

#15, 21, and 24 have lost so far this week!

Murray State’s first win against an AP 25 team in a decade.

College Basketball is better when Murray State is good. Cool to see Prohm back where he started.

UMass takes down Colorado too. Diggins with 2 points and 2 assists in 18 minutes

Texas looked scary good. Tons of skill, athletes, and depth. Top 5 recruit Dillon Mitchell might not be in the top 5 players for his own team.

 

[Huskyforlife]

St Johns and Nebraska might score a combined 30 points this game.
