Week of 11/20 Other Games

[Hey Adrien!]

Today's 5 PM tilt of Purdue vs Gonzaga in the Maui Jim Invitational is a heck of an appetizer before the UConn game.

Must-watch game versus two teams I'm personally not super high on.

The only other D1 game Gonzaga has played was against Yale (86-71 win).

Why is Gonzaga playing D2 schools? That is embarrassing.

 

[McLovin]

That’s weird that Gonzaga has only played 2 games (and only 1 D 1 team) over the first 2 weeks of the season.

Either way, the Maui might have the best field they have ever had. And that’s saying something.

4 legit final four contenders plus Gonzaga and UCLA.

Going to be an epic.

I stopped paying attention to Syracuse/Tennessee with around 10 min to go and it was pretty close. Surprised to see Cuse get blown out by 17. Just checked the play by play and they got outscored 21-8 in the last 7 minutes. 12-0 in the last 3 minutes

Gonzaga and Purdue is pretty fun so far. Zags are making Edey uncomfortable

Could we beat Gonzaga without castle? I’m not watching yet

Yes

This is going to put Cincy back in the tourney. I watched this kid on tv last year in a couple games, and evidently he's gotten better. He's a LOT to handle.

NCAA reverses course, clears Cincy's Bandaogo

Cincinnati center Aziz Bandaogo will be eligible to play immediately after new information emerged that prompted the NCAA to reconsider his waiver appeal.

Wisconsin over Virginia was pretty surprising. UVA still can’t score.

Kansas Maui uniforms are cool. Bill Self lost a lot of weight, not sure if illness related. Dickenson and Harris are probably the best 1-2 any team has. KU playing a lot of freshmen and bench guys against Chaminade.

Agree on those Kansas uniforms. Those are well designed. KU looks meh.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

On Tuesday, I’ll be covering Sacred Heart’s first of three 11:30 AM start games, with tomorrow’s tilt against Binghamton.

Odd timing, but a unique opportunity to catch the NEC favorites on a weekday morning! The game is streaming for free on NEC Front Row.

 

[HuskyHawk]

They are not playing well, but also getting minutes for the bench. Team is thin and they will need some freshmen other than Jackson to contribute. Furphy started over Adams. Timberlake 0-3 including a missed layup.

When I was watching they looked pretty meh. I tell ya, we so lucked out that Timberlake chose Kansas. Difference between he and Spencer is huge.

How about St. Joe's taking Kentucky to OT? All those 5 star recruits and Calipari still sucks.

What kind of rinky-dink tournament is this that UK is playing in? St. Joes, UK, Stonehill and Texas AM - Commerce?

 

[auror]

Marquette made boring spaghetti marinara on their trip instead of Paella. Sucks for them.

 

[That Guy]

Nick Timberlake averaging 5.0 pts, 2.3 rebs, 0.3 asts, and shooting 38% in 17 mpg on the season for KU. Thank goodness he picked them over us and we were able to land Cam.

 

[superjohn]

Marquette looking like they're going to be in trouble against UCLA. A lot of time to go but UCLA outplaying them in every facet.

 

[auror]

Marquette just getting beat right now

Bill Walton: "Have you ever done that? Stand there with the vibrator...."

 

[auror]

Dylan Andrews goes out for UCLA (maybe cramping?), UCLA misses a couple bunnies and that's all Marquette needs. Ighodaro a couple nasty dunks and suddenly they're back in front.

 

[superjohn]

Ighodaro with a couple of huge dunks. Marquette on a 15-0 run to take a three point lead all with Kolek on the bench.

He looks better this game than almost any game I saw of him last year. I love his game in college. Not sure it translates to the NBA.

 

[auror]

The defender's reaction is just priceless:

 

[superjohn]

This game is wild, it's also crazy UCLA isn't ranked. Bona just had one of the sickest dunks.

 

[auror]

Marquette (especially their role players and Kolek late pullup off the dribble with numbers in transition) taking some ill-advised 3 pointers keeping UCLA in this. Also missing FTs.
