Week 6: Other Games

[SubbaBub]

Gonzaga and Alabama slugging it out. I'd be more worried about Gonzaga's experience and battle tested-ness in March than Alabama improving on their performance against UCONN.

We'll need our defense if we are going to beat either Alabama again or Gonzaga. We're not going to be able to score with either of these teams. Both teams are playing D but can't stop each other.

Wow. Indiana getting pantsed on national TV.

Kansas looks really good. I watched them in the Wisconsin game and I was unimpressed, but they look legit.

Playing much, much better than earlier in the year. I’ve seen almost every game. Ball movement and balanced scoring (all 5 starters in double figures), lots of steals on D. Earlier this year it was often Wilson hero ball (especially that Wisconsin game).

The refs really suck this game. Gonzaga has gotten away with about 75 egregious hacks.

They wrapped up Bama center with an attempted football tackle for an And one and if that wasn’t a flagrant/intentional foul nothing ever is.

Timme is awesome, rest of team meh, they would be just like creighton this year if they lost him.

 

[Kitaman]

Our Butler game looks insignificant and unexciting compared to the other games on slate. We may be number 3, but we will probably need to blow out Butler just to get noticed (i.e. headlined), in tomorrow's news.

Anyway, its a fantastic lineup of games.

What an odd post.

I can't imagine spending 2 hours watching Houston and Virginia throw rocks at each other, even if they are both Top 5 teams. Obviously hoping Houston wins.

What an odd post.

The 7th most efficient offense won't be able to keep up with the 5th or 17th most efficient.

Seems pretty logical to me.

 

[CTBasketball]

This Houston/Virginia game is painful.

 

[auror]

Sasser forgot how to shoot. 30% coming into today, 0-3 to start. (Edit- Made 3 straight after I said this).

 

[Chin Diesel]

Legit chance Gonzaga v Bama halftime score is higher than UVa v Houston final score.

 

[superjohn]

Brandon Miller is so smooth.

 

[superjohn]

Nice win for the Zags. Bama turned it over like crazy and couldn't slow down Zags in the half court.

 

[Dibbie]

Was pulling for Gonzaga, even though we beat Bama. Didn’t want Bama to have another big win, since we won’t have many more.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Alabama would really have to fall apart for them to be anything but a signature win for us, but that was not a great showing where they basically trailed the whole way at home against a 3-loss Gonzaga.

 

[uconngb]

You all forgot Syr/Cornell. It’s currently 20-11 Big Red over Little Orange as Cuse desperately tries to stay relevant in Southern Canada

Remember UH vs Rutgers a few years ago in the big dance?

My eyes bled.

Syracuse: LOL

 

[SoFla Steve]

Cornell up 11 at Syracuse 25-14 with just over 8 mins to halftime.

Gonzaga is still good. Their 3 losses are all to top ~10 teams on neutral courts or away (Baylor, Texas, and Purdue). They've beaten Kentucky, Alabama, Xavier, and Mich St.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Cornell with an early lead against a plucky opponent.

So if a Wahoo is a fish that drinks more than its weight does that mean Rafferty is a Wahoo!

Virginia making a comeback on Houston. Back to back turnovers.

Houston hits 3 shots in a row and it's up to double digits.

Depending on final margin there's a chance they'll take back #1 on KenPom (beating top 10 team on road by double digits).
