Week of 12/11 Other Games

I can't imagine that UCLA fans are excited about another "attaboy" loss to a good team.

 

[tzznandrew]

Was obviously sarcasm I know they wanna make MSU ranked though.

Sorry. Can't tell around here sometimes.

Should have seen the handle and assumed good faith.

 

[AzHusky]

Are these two guys Big 10 or neutral announcers? They are having a lovefest for Purdue.

 

[tzznandrew]

We are going to start seeing separation between the true contenders (us, Kansas, Purdue, Marquette) and those who are getting by on reputation.

Kansas ain't in that group.

They were very lucky they got UConn at home and that UConn came in there with: an injured Castle & Clingan and a Spencer who got hurt early in game.

 

[Leebo]

The love affair that this announcing team has for Arizona is sickening.

Can someone help me figure out which it is? Not gonna watch myself.

 

[ScottCT]

Arizona had no business being ranked this high anyway.

One of them is Robbie Hummel, who played at Purdue

 

[Drame]

I think Kansas is good but they have no depth. I see them wearing down at the end of the season.

It's getting a little ridiculous just how many streaming platforms everything is spread across - but tbh I don't mind peacock. All my subscriptions (for the most part) renew on Black Friday and for $1 and change a month there's a good amount of entertainment.

I guess we complain about announcers a lot, a few posts ago it was an Arizona lovefest

 

[Icehawk]

I don't see us losing to either of these teams. AZ putting up a good comeback fight rn.

 

[storrsroars]

Purdue putting up 49 at halftime against Arizona. Scorching. 1.33 ppp while only making 1 FT. Loyer/Smith 6/9 from 3 combined for 32.

I went to take the dog out at 17-all. I come back and Purdue is up 12. Couple minutes later it's tied again. AZ needs me.

I think Purdue is at its ceiling and I've always thought we could beat them, even not at full strength, although Edey could create foul issues with both our bigs. AZ worries me a bit because of pace, ball movement and ability to create turnovers. Not sure if they're at their ceiling - they might get better. Right now I don't see us winning by double digits, but a lot depends on how well Castle and to a lesser extent Stewart comes along by tourney time.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I don’t enjoy this Kentucky team.

 

[How Sway?!]

Penny finally realized that to win in college you need upper class men and not a bunch of top 50 kids. Some of the Memphis players have been in school long enough to get 2 degrees

 

[87Xfer]

Where's AZ land on Monday?

 

[BigTenFan]

Boiler Up!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Kansas ain't in that group.

They were very lucky they got UConn at home and that UConn came in there with: an injured Castle & Clingan and a Spencer who got hurt early in game.

I mean, sure. But they are still easily a top 10 team. I agree with @Drame on the lack of depth but they are starting to get contributions from the young guys.

With Houston holding on against a meh A&M team, are they the new #1? Is it UConn? Kansas? Purdue? I think Houston is in for a rude awakening in the Big XII. Right now UConn, Kansas, Purdue and Arizona look like the 1 seeds.

Peak boneyard.

Amazing people's ability to whine about absolutely anything.

 

[bendm]

A fine showing at Purdue for Zona but I guess it shouldn’t be that big of a surprise they were down double digits at times. Zona was hanging its hat on early wins against Duke and MSU which have turned out to be very mediocre.

 

[tzznandrew]

Where's AZ land on Monday?

Probably 5?

You'd think it should be something like:

1. Purdue
2. Kansas
3. Houston
4. UConn
5. Arizona

I'd swap UConn and Houston, and you can't put UConn ahead of Kansas yet with the head to head.

Kansas is good. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise.

I just don't think they're Title Tier this year.

It’s all good.

 

[kobe]

Memphis/Clemson was a good game. I think Hardaway has done a great job this season. The last 90 seconds of this game was a chess match that Hardaway won. Quinerly was completely out of control last season on Alabama, and is finally, at 25, close to the player people expected when he came out of high school. Hardaway deserves a lot of credit for that.

aside from uconn, im taking fau and memphis over anyone else in the church league in march. american pow6r!

 

[tzznandrew]

Arizona had no business being ranked this high anyway.

I mean, they did win in Cameron, which despite Duke being pretty mediocre at this stage of the year is still an accomplishment. And they wrecked everybody else, including Michigan State (not great, but they just killed Baylor) and Wisconsin (also inconsistent, but beat Marquette by dubs and slaughtered Virginia).

I think an undefeated team with that resume makes sense at #1 (over, say, Houston, who beat no one), though I think they were jumped too high for the Duke victory. I thought that even when I thought Duke would be a Top 10 team all season.
