      Syracuse went as deep as Kentucky last year
Nov 07th 2018

           Syracuse is never a threat to win a title.
Nov 07th 2018
50
                How many chips does Cal have again?
Nov 07th 2018
52
                Yeah, Jimmy's 1 out of 42 is equal to Cal's 1 out of 23.
Nov 07th 2018
53
                     Cal is a much better recruiter than Jim
Nov 07th 2018
56
                     If Jimmy could do what Cal does he’d be a Cal.
Nov 08th 2018
58
                          that process could remove some of those steps
Nov 08th 2018
60
                          A lot of HS recruits are ranked high every yr. Not all have pro careers.

The worst defeat Cal has ever suffered. Most points he's ever allowed.
Nov 07th 2018
21
Iron Lion Zion is a human cheat code, it just isn't fair.
Nov 07th 2018
24
^^^This *sigh*
Nov 07th 2018
27
I guess his game is more than just dunks
Nov 07th 2018
29
Yahoo called him a "startlingly athletic hulk" .... bullshit
Nov 07th 2018
31
he is a startlingly athletic hulk tho
Nov 07th 2018
32
      lol yeah. more than JUST that...but also that.
Nov 07th 2018
34
      but they reduced him to that....he is clearly much more than that.
Nov 07th 2018
38
i hope his body holds up long term, because my god
Nov 07th 2018
37
He’s not 285 anymore, he’s around 270 after this summer.
Nov 07th 2018
39
      he still looks too big
Nov 07th 2018
43
           He is 6'6". Barkely played at 270-280 when he was at Auburn and looking
Nov 07th 2018
44
                trying to be the second Barkley is a bad idea
Nov 07th 2018
45
                     He is already a better ballhandler and shooter than Barkley
Nov 07th 2018

Nov 07th 2018
33
Yup and had a dunk (link)
Nov 07th 2018
35
I assume they’ll get Cole Anthony? That would help
Nov 07th 2018
42
      He’s going to UNC, Oregon, or G-League.
Nov 07th 2018
47
           Ah well. Tough break Hoyas

Nov 15th 2018
84

Tennessee could do a lot of great things, but it's a big difference from being considered a fringe NIT team to a Final Four contender

their success has been built on outworking everyone on defense and playing team-oriented offense...that identity will be tested with lofty expectations

I’d bet they go deeper this year. Experience and defense will go a long way for Cuse this year.

Quade isn’t starting? What’s his story?

In response to Reply # 49


          

They won’t go further this year.

I didn’t even know they went further last year. Because nobody cares.

Sorry.

And that might be why Jimmy shits on recruits.

Sorry.

That also might be why you haven’t had a good pro since... since? Hakim Warrick?

Sorry.

Quade didn’t start last night. Not sure why. But we’re deep & Cal still has to figure out the lineup.

Still, he’s better off than being at Syracuse & following in the long line of Syracuse point guards that began and ended with Sherman Douglas.

You can’t question that, though the methods are up for question.

In response to Reply # 58


  

          

and still result in a lot of those guys having prosperous pro careers

when every signee is in the top 40 of the composite, and most in the top 20, odds are that those guys are getting drafted. Monk, Adebayo, Fox were drafted almost exactly where they were rated in the 247 composite.

thats not what i would call "making pros"

66. "its the nature of the game. top 20 recruits are drafted in the 1st roun..."
In response to Reply # 61


  

          

usually 1 year later with the rest of their classmates

they were elite going in, so obviously theyre going to be elite coming out. the hs/aau scouting industry is good. the only way to refute it would be to point out all the Cal recruits outside the top 25-30ish range who got drafted at all, much less the first round. but thats a mighty short list, because the NBA, Rivals, Endless Motor, ESPN, 247, Cal, and K can ALL see who is going to play in the NBA before they ever even step on campus.

So he can do that. All he needed was 1 recruited pro in Carmelo. And he got the most out of him. Everyone else was what I said earlier...top 50-100 type recruits. Hakim Warrick was way under the radar as a recruit.

Great coach. Good recruiter.

55. "2 final fours while on probation say otherwise"
In response to Reply # 50


  

          

We haven’t even been GOOD and we made a final four and a sweet 16 in the last 3 years. Defense and Boeheim knowing how to pull out games go a long way. Scholarships are back. Talent level is coming back. This year’s team will be good.

>They won’t go further this year.

We’ll see.

>And that might be why Jimmy shits on recruits.

He doesn’t through. He applauded Bazley’s agent for getting him a sneaker deal. That’s it. What’s the problem?
>Sorry.
>
>That also might be why you haven’t had a good pro since...
>since? Hakim Warrick?

Grant is solid. Dion was coming in strong in Miami before getting hurt. Cuse has put a lot kids in the pros after a year or two who weren’t even on the NBA radar before coming out of nowhere(Grant a primary example). They aren’t getting kids who would be straight out of HS if the rules allowed it and pumping up how they “develop pros”. They’re getting top 50-100 recruits and getting them to the pros, probably more consistently than anyone out there that recruits at that level.

>Sorry.
>
>Quade didn’t start last night. Not sure why. But we’re
>deep & Cal still has to figure out the lineup.

Cool. Just wondering. His shooting stats last year looked pretty good for a freshman.

>Still, he’s better off than being at Syracuse & following in
>the long line of Syracuse point guards that began and ended
>with Sherman Douglas.

Honestly Jalen Carey might be better than him anyway. And he’s not even starting. Cuse will be good this year. Could’ve used Quade last year, but sanctions are done and the numbers and depth are back.

TOSU vs Cinci tmw night btw... Alma Mater vs the team I grew up loving ( always a sucker for red and black combos in additions to the way Thuggins teams played)

my dear hope is that his pro team gets him to drop 20 pounds immediately. i just don't think the athleticism is sustainable for long at 285.

but that's literally the only thing to be worried about with him.

44. "He is 6'6". Barkely played at 270-280 when he was at Auburn and looking"
In response to Reply # 43


  

          

somewhat the same as Zion. So the 270 seems conservative.

In response to Reply # 45


  

          

as a rookie in the NBA. There are better fitness protocols, diets, etc....as long as he doesn't blow out a knee or something, he will be fine. He really reminds me more of Larry Johnson.

But on a serious note, I’d been hearing how tight Greg Anthony and Ewing are. I’d even root for GTown to get him over UNC. Keep him out of the ACC. Oregon works.

In response to Reply # 82


          

Pretty straight forward.

Those players "he left behind" had talent which led to wins for UK which led to their draft status.

Now why does this make you so mad and pressed to be wrong?

That's the better question.

That makes sense.

Almost as much sense as him being better than all of the players who balled out and got drafted since he left.

89. "Definitely a down year for Big East and an up year for Big 10."
In response to Reply # 81


  

          

Even with MSU worse than usual and Purdue likely to dip, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Nebraska should all be up, and I expect Michigan and Ohio State to hold fairly close to last year (I doubt OSU goes 15-3 in conf, but they'll be better than people expect).

Meanwhile, Nova should *easily* win the Big East-- last night's game was just a bad night against a great defense, I still think they'll be a Top 3/4 seed in the tournament-- but after that, you're looking at maybe Marquette as their second best team? So both the best teams in the Big East getting absolutely boatraced by what are almost certainly the two best Big 10 teams is... not a good look for conference optics, nor for eventual SOS for Big East teams in all likelihood.

Just utter dominance, start to finish. Paschall was demoralized. Truly an impressive effort.

I thought Nova would roll, especially considering Michigan's offense in the first two games was flat-out bad. They worked it out before this game tho.

Didn't expect Ignas to be a genuine contender for Big Ten ROY with Langford in the same conference, but I love what I'm seeing.

Fuck that scrub. Never liked him, still don’t.

UConn played well though. Adams and Gilbert is a tough combo. They remind me of St. Bonaventure last year, a bit but I think Adams and Gilbert are a little more dynamic than that Bonnies duo.

I think Chukwu made Cobb look good though.

Whole team back and every single guy looks like he got worse.

Brissett has been the worst player on any team at MSG the last two nights. Makes no sense.

He'd have to improve the things he's not good at... by a lot. I'd think he'd be a lock for the Top 10 tho on potential alone, cuz his touch is so soft and his mobility is good for his size.

Bruins have a lot of depth and versatility on this squad...

In response to Reply # 0


          

I thought the turning point was when Tennessee was on a little second half run and started playing really sloppy; throwing the ball around and burning possessions. Kansas weathered the storm and closed out the game.

Grant Williams played mostly impressively but that 5th foul was pretty dumb. no reason to trip/challenge a guard on the break when you are in the final two minutes of a tight game and playing with 4.

Jay Bilas was correct on the broadcast -- when Admiral's shot isn't falling, he can't just keep shooting contested 20-footers. post up.

Jordan Bone is playing much better this year but Jordan Bowden needs to be more confident. the last three games it's looked like he's never shot a basketball.

but Fulk was promising to start his freshman season. he was a broken man last year but he can give good minutes if he's not too hyper.

I want to see Pons develop. especially if Turner doesn't get right this year. also Walker looks 20 pounds lighter; hopefully he can spell the frontcourt like last year during SEC play.

Team is starting to look better at times, though Howard is still coming back from his injury and struggling. Once he’s back all the way, it will help a lot. Still a long way to go but I think this team will round into form and be dangerous in March.

I can’t lie, I like Ewing’s demeanor with his players and the refs and thought he did a nice job.

158. "That charge was everything"
In response to Reply # 157


  

          

I generally think way too many charges are called in college b-ball, and the help defender sliding in and falling down being rewarded drives me nuts. That said, we’ve lost on bad charging calls enough times that we were owed one.

And the GTown player had both hands on the ball and lowered his shoulder like a halfback. All they had to do was run the shotclock another 5 seconds and shoot right at the buzzer, and Cuse would’ve had less than 5 seconds to get the rebound and go the length of the court.

I was impressed with how GTown regrouped after going from up 15 to down 6, and took the lead back in the final minutes. They were one dumb play away from winning that one.

Battle has a history of hitting big ones.

No one else was taking that shot, and no one can convince me otherwise. He had the ball in his hands and he absolutely was not going to pass. You have to let someone else beat you with the game on the line.

Great game though.

you still have to get 4 more to even it up.

oooo impressive!! (not really)

Matta tore off five regular-season Big Ten titles and four Big Ten Tournament titles like it were child's play, all while kicking Beilein's ass for a decade plus...

(the one thing they do have in common is disappointing title game losses, but at least we can take solace in the fact that it was to programs with superior coaching and players)

160. "They really are."
In response to Reply # 144


  

          

I get why OSU fans will play the "so close yet so far" argument (Lord knows I did that in 2016 when UNC lost on the Kris Jenkins shot), but the forest for the trees here is that Michigan is pretty indisputably *better* today than they were last year when they made a national title run. Better shooting, better passing, the best defense in the country. Brazdeikis is the best freshman in the country not wearing a Duke uniform, which no one saw coming. The list for best perimeter defender in the country starts with Simpson.

And I know I've said this before, but it's *really hard* to look at Beilein's major, major stylistic shift and not be absolutely blown away. Last time a high-major coach made such a stylistic shift was when Jay Wright went from saying "we're known for dribble drive" to "we're known for 3s." Beilein was always a "stellar offense will carry a mediocre defense" guy. The last two years, they haven't had the shooters that previous teams had, so he turned into a "good offense will be carried by a stellar defense" guy... basically overnight. He went from Mediocre Defense Guy in 2017 to Tony Bennett Level Defense Guy in the span of, like, 18-20 months. Just remarkable.

166. "im not sure they are a better *shooting* team"
In response to Reply # 160


  

          

like, 5 racks of 5 balls around the 3 pt line and last years team wins going away. BUT despite losing MAAR and Mo they're definitely at finishing from within 10 feet, and taking a LOT of shots there. Dan Dakich always says that Beilein's best attribute as an offensive coach is getting guys *their* shots, and looking at Teske, Iggy, Matthews, and Z hes still doing that as well as ever.

Brazdeikis has been something else man. Im very interested to see how he's holding up against this schedule in a month or so. Hes got a solid build, so he might just hurdle the "wall".

And the stylistic makeover has been ridiculous. S/o to Luke Yaklich, and s/o to Beilein for such an insane level of self reflection to be able to say "we need to get better, and i need help to do it". Iggy and Poole have been enthusiastic if not "stoppers", Livers defends 50sq ft at once like Rasheed Wallace used to in Detroit, and Z/Matthews/Teske is a defensive big 3 that no one in the country can match. Ive said this before but the defense will legitimately give them a chance to win every game they play. Really fun to watch.

All other points still apply. I placed a futures bet on them. Between the odds I'm getting on Michigan, Virginia, Gonzaga, Auburn, and Tennessee, I'm liking my chances at either a nice payout or a situation in which I can hit a nice profitable hedge.

Crazy that we have a better BASKETBALL coach than UCLA... strange times


Meanwhile I love Chris Holtmann... Dude recruits his ass off (#1 class in the Big ten for 2019) and actually uses his bench and doesn't rely on one player to carry the entire offensive load.. Not to mention the halftime adjustments... Something Thad NEVER knew how to do.

We're almost back to where we belong.. As one of the best dual sport universities in the country. Florida is really the only other school that did it better

Can't wait for the Big 10 season to start

... but I very much like Michigan's odds at only losing 2, at most 3 games in conference, which should get the job done imo. It'd take some serious regression-- which I suppose is possible with the young guys, but still. I'd take Michigan's pieces over MSU's in a heartbeat.

(Not to mention that, in my opinion, Beilein is easily a better coach than Izzo.)

In response to Reply # 174


  

          

Cassius Winston, who ive liked since his days at UD Jesuit, has yet to play well against Z. 6-17 with 7:5 A:TO in 2 games last year isnt much to inspire confidence.

Nick Ward is going to have problems scoring on Jon Teske. Almost as many problems as he had guarding Mo

Josh Langford isnt gonna enjoy the Charles Matthews experience. I predict at least 1 face-laugh per half.

MSU is good, but UM seems explicitly constructed to negate all of their strengths.

179. "I just don't believe in Winston or Ward as primary weapons."
In response to Reply # 175


  

          

Ward is too foul-prone, can't stay on the court, and can't create-- he needs to be fed.

Winston is a really good PG, the type of guy tailor-made to be the second option or to feed the top two options. But he's small and not terribly strong and has no chance to make the pros, so good defenders can slow him down and he can struggle against more physical offensive guards himself.

Langford is a role player.

So when it comes down to March, and Duke is feeding Barrett and Zion, and Gonzaga is feeding Rui and Norvell, and Virginia is feeding Guy and hunter, and Michigan is feeding Matthews and Ignas, and UNC is feeding White and... I don't know, Maye I guess.... who is Michigan State feeding? I look down the top ten teams in America, and MSU has the least promising stars imo.

Cam is great at picking his spots, but when the game is on the line, he's the guy I want chilling outside by the 3-point line for the kick out, not the guy I want with the ball in his hands.

Besides, with the game on the line, it's White or bust, let's be honest. Anyone else with the ball in his hands, that's a wasted possession.

Gonna be another rough season for the Illini this year as they keep just working toward getting better... but next year's combo of Frazier/Dosunmu/Giorgi is almost certainly a Top 5 returning trio in the 2019/2020 Big Ten, *and* they'll put Cockburn on top of that? Yeah, they're due. I know I'm a Brad Underwood homer, but between his recruits improving with time and the fact that they've been *exceedingly* unlucky in close games (bottom 10 in KenPom Luck last season, bottom 3 in KenPom Luck this season) suggests that they're both far better than their record and they have a good outlook once the Luck regresses to the mean.

They’ve already made him the rare player known by one name. They don’t even say Duke, they say “Zion Highlights coming up at halftime”. FOH. This is worse than when Dick Vitale spent two straight seasons fellating Shane Battier during every single game he called, non-Duke games included.

He knows everyone suspects it's going to Barrett. He's been the guy with the ball in his hands in every close game, in every late possession, all year. And he knows FSU knows that.

So he sets it up to look like Bolden is setting the screen for Barrett. He even has Tre Jones RUN OVER AND TALK TO BOLDEN before the inbounds, just to confirm it in everyone's eyes. So everyone in the stadium-- EVERYONE-- and everyone watching on TV? They're all watching Barrett.

So when the action starts, not a soul notices a wide-open Cam Reddish at the top of the key. The target for that play from its inception. It was never going to Barrett. Just an absolutely masterful fucking decoy.

Genius set up, perfect execution. Brings tears to your eyes watching an old legend bust out new forms of trickery even in the late stages of his career.

if Tre Jones is seriously hurt, that will absolutely devastate Duke’s ACC title chances, let alone tournament chances. He’s in contention to be the best defender in the country, and he steadies the offense especially in transition.

Sucks, but injuries happen.

Frank made the play of the game with the steal and layup to make it 91-88 in OT, IMO.

Easily his best game this year. If he rounds into form, Cuse can still become the team they were projected to be - which was a top 4 ACC team playing for a high seed and a dangerous March team. This W helps offset some bad losses (a couple when Howard was out).

It was when he sprained Tre's shoulder. Changed the game literally in a flash.

I'm not saying he meant to do it. He didn't. It's definitely a "shit happens" scenario. And yet, because he was the guy there, like Matt Howard before him (the fuck is it about Howards?), he's the guy I hate now.

Not to be a skeptic on the tail of a loss to this team, but *so* much of your offense is predicated upon iso possessions and taking contested long 2s/drives. I lost count of the possessions in the Duke game where I shrugged and thought, "That was well-defended, not sure what else you can do." I mean, that's what your offense was last year too and y'all did your usual March run, so fuck do I know... that just doesn't seem like a recipe for sustained regular season success to me. It seems like the type of game that allows you to get hot and beat the best when you're hitting and lose to absolute shit when you're not. They'll be underdogs at least six more games this season-- I think 10-8 is a realistic goal, which should again be good for that 9/10ish seed range imo, assuming you win another big game or two.

but I think Howard can play a lot better than he has. Coming off his broken foot, he had nothing. He’s starting to look closer to100%. I think Hughes is still getting better too. Limited offense schematically and there’s zero inside scoring, but there might be enough perimeter talent to make it work more often than it has early on.

Gotta say I was kinda shocked at how Coach K looked. That old man shuffle he does to move around makes it look like he deals with a lot of pain.

The first six minutes with Tre on the floor, it looked like they'd invoke mercy rule by halftime. I'm not concerned about Cuse. We were down our two best defenders, our PG and our best wing shooter, so they took advantage on both ends. Combine that with two of our better outside shooters shooting *well* below their average from 3 on something like 25-30 attempts, and sure, recipe for an upset.

But none of that matters. Tre needs to be okay. Lose to Virginia, lose the next four, I don't care. We need Tre. He's the heart and soul of the team on both ends.

Dude seriously balled out in that game the other day. Thought the hit Coach K with a loud "Pass me the ball, sucker!"

It was my first time seeing Duke play this season. Are Zion and/or Barrett really that much better than Reddish?

Seems that Barrett and Zion get all the hype but Reddish seems like a more complete player. They were all top 5 players coming outta high school. So, I wouldn't think there would be a huge drop-off at all. Can't wait to watch more of their games to see if my thoughts are in line with their actual productivity.

You're right that he has an exceptional NBA skill set, but he's been a black hole on offense, rarely passing, turning over at a high rate, and his shooting has been very streaky. His drives to the basket have been overwhelmingly unsuccessful. He also disappears at times, content to float around and let RJ/Zion work.

Defensively, he's been terrific-- leading the team in steals, part of a team that was incredible defensively led by Jones and Reddish. But yeah, he's still trying to find his rhythm offensively. FSU was by *far* his best game. We'll definitely rely a lot more on him to be efficient on offense and to lead the team defensively now that Jones is out for a spell.

Still a long rebuild at Pitt, but he has some swagger back, our 2 best players are freshman, the Pete is at least a tough environment again and he has us on the bubble year 1.

The doubting of his ability to lead a program by Duke fans and Duke outsiders was 99.9% race-based, .1% jaded Oklahoma fans. He's still and will continue to be my top choice to replace K at Duke. Til then, I'll root for Pitt in all but 1-2 games each season.

In response to Reply # 349


  

          

The biggest problem coming into this year is just the insane deficiency of talent on that roster. Combine that with the fact that it's a very young roster as well, and, yeah, they've lost seven games in conference by single digits.

I still think the future there is bright. Especially assuming that Xavier Johnson, their only player with actual talent, sticks around for the rebuild.

I’m dying. He went back for a sarcastic, put on a show handshake like a drunk who almost just got in a bar fight after things have cooled down a bit, and got tossed! Stay in that coaching box, ya prick!!

At least he didn’t try to be cool and slap all his players 5 as he walked off this time.

Hurley is something else though.

If there’s something I hate even more than refs overdoing the charge call(and seemingly getting all excited to call it), it’s spazzy coaches that are out on the court all the time.

add him to the Quade Green transfer, and if he can convince local top 10 prospect Jaden McDaniels to join him?

Adding that much talent to what's already at UW could mean a big year next year.

my expectations are tempered though because Romar had a few of these huge recruiting classes that never did what they "should" have done.

He stuck with the coach he had the best relationship with, which is cool. Hope he does well out there. I can’t say I catch many games on TV, but it seems like Wash. overachieved last year and is doing so again this year, so I think they’ll do very well as Hopkins starts bringing in top talent. Romar could get players but I don’t remember him ever overachieving with so so talent.

258. "nah, Romar did the opposite."
In response to Reply # 256


  

          

he underachieved with good to great talent.

i mean, our roster right now has two for sure NBA players on it right now, Nowell and Thybulle.

Thybulle will graduate this year. Nowell could go to the league right now and succeed, but I haven't seen his name listed on many mock drafts so I assume he'll be back for his junior year. He's one of those Round 1 talent, but Round 2 pick guys just because of all the guys with hype and "upside" ahead of him.

If Nowell stays, adding Steward, Quade Green, Raequan Battle and perhaps Jaden McDaniels to solid contributors Naz Carter and Hamier Wright and you've got a nice team to trot out on the floor.

and man, Hopkins is a hell of a coach. i don't understand coaching enough to know if his zone is EXACTLY the same as Boeheim's, but it sure as hell confuses the shit out of everyone we play.

we're undefeated in a weak Pac 12 so far, and 14-4 overall. but one of those losses was to #1 Gonzaga on a buzzer beater and to Minnesota on a buzzer beater where the shooter walked like James Harder and the refs completely missed it. just a couple bad breaks from 16-2 with a win over a #1 team. i say that to say Hop is killing it and you're right, as he builds his talent base things should only trend upwards.

Selfishly wanted him to join at Duke, because I think he's a terrific talent, but the frontcourt at Duke will be crowded next year, and joining an up-and-coming team with a great coach in a conference they can easily win? I completely get it.

He'll play 35 minutes a game there and putting up mad stats. Good for him, good for Washington. I'd greatly prefer a world in which the Pac-12 isn't rubbish, and Washington's re-emergence helps this cause. (If only UCLA and USC will wake the fuck up.)

In response to Reply # 0


          

nearly 11 years and four head coaches since the last #1 ranking, which lasted about a game (Tennessee losing at Vanderbilt right after they beat D. Rose's Memphis team).

it's just a number and means little in January, but it's great publicity for a program that has come a *long* way in the last three years. getting fired from Texas was the best thing to happen to Rick Barnes.

Tennessee is most definitely legit, just crisp execution, didn't get too rattled when Bama battled back, and everyone plays with a high motor. Very impressed. Sidenote regarding Bama: John Petty gonna be a star.

the offense in disarray, defense always late......*car crash sound effects*

this season is over oof...Holtmann needs to let ALL the freshman play now, might as well if the NIT is where it looks like we're heading (if lucky)


the only thing left to look forward to beating michigan which seems like a herculean task at this point

thank god for that excellent recruiting class coming in next year

In response to Reply # 267


  

          

Strange!

Yet he turned it around second half, made brilliant passes, and absolutely dismantled Tech’s leading scorer, who only ever got any action when Jones was on the bench for a healthy stretch of the first half.

Try to diminish the impact not having Jones (and Reddish, for that matter) had in that Cuse win all you want. We all saw how the game started and where it was headed before Jones went out.

Though I don't think he'd have solved their problems. Their interior defense has been terrific for the most part. The problem is defending the perimeter and guard play decision making/ball protection.

So... congrats? Haha.

I honestly think if Capel can get to six wins with this roster, he deserves genuine consideration for ACC Coach of the Year. That cupboard is BARE, yet they have a very real chance of finishing Top 10 in the ACC and lapping Stallings's two year ACC win total in a single regular season.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought they'd beat Sparty on the road without their best player. Wild shit-- especially when regulation ended TERRIBLY for them and they could've easily packed it in.

Obvious statement alert, but Nick Ward's FTs are an absolute nightmare for them. He's their most reliable offensive weapon-- no one in the country is fouled more frequently than he is-- but I've seen time and again him missing important FTs when he needs to seal the deal.

Romar was just cooked as a coach.

I mean, he was able to get some talented recruits, but on the sidelines? He seemed lost as a coach, he couldn't get thru to his players, etc.

Hopkins has really just energized the program, the players and the fans. I give it all to that guy.

Last year: 30 points on 9-15 shooting. This year: 11 points on 5-17 shooting, didn't score his first basket til 14 minutes into the game.

Really gratifying to see Duke face both guys who smoked Duke the worst last season getting shut down by such an elite defender.

303. "One of the more exciting regular season weeks in memory."
In response to Reply # 298


  

          

Obviously huge for our 1 seed/ACC regular season hopes.

I'm a bit unnerved by our tendency to have slack first halves-- I will likely bet for Duke's opponent and the 1H points every game going forward-- as that's the sort of thing you can't come back from in the tournament. Not every team is Georgia Tech, where you can be losing at half but still cover a 20 point spread. It's encouraging that we can do it on the road against a tough opponent in a bad performance-- this is the second time this season if you consider the FSU game, but this one was on such a bigger scale against a better team-- but we really can't keep slipping behind due to bad early effort. You can't just out-talent teams for six games in a row in March.

That said, what a win. Cam Reddish is really coming into his own, and major props to Jordan Goldwire for changing the game off the bench. K said post-game that he put him in because he had the best look on the bench, he looked like he wanted to play. So he turned to a guy who barely plays any minutes in a desperate situation and it pays off. GOAT-level instincts.

Consistently selling out a 20k seat arena? Those aren't all students and faculty on campus.

I'm guessing you weren't in College Station like I was to see them play. The overwhelming consensus from the A&M crowd was they hadn't seen that many away fans at a basketball game. That is the farthest SEC city from Knoxville FYI.

Vol hoops fans on Twitter are a vocal, passionate bunch, and there are a *lot* of them. They have reached "they don't respect us!" levels the likes of which we haven't seen since Florida fans in the Billy Donovan era. Tweet anything that can be remotely interpreted as shade to the Vols, and watch your mentions get absolutely swarmed.

I realize that's not "in town," but this isn't an LA Rams situation in which most people just don't give a shit. There are a LOT of Vols fans out there who are more into basketball than they've been in years, I imagine.

peaks and valleys, but everyone is waiting to rally behind them when it's going in the right direction.

additionally, this is probably one of the most likable teams to root for that I can remember.

Then he's literally missed like 30+ 3s in a row. He was shooting something like 38% from 3 before that. Positively baffling.

>January? fucking hell, how does that happen

I'm not looking at the numbers here, but I believe he went 0-10 in a game when we REALLY needed his 3-point shooting. Since then? The shot hasn't even *looked* the same. He's really hesitant to shoot, and when he does, it's a VERY hitchy stroke-- like he's still deciding if he should shoot halfway through the motion.

After a recent game, he admitted that the mental part of the slump is definitely weighing on him, so I guess he gets credit for self-awareness and honesty-- but yeah, the Jack White corner 3 was pre-conference play one of the most bankable plays in our offense, and since that awful Cuse game, he's absolutely psyched himself out of playing at the level he played in November/December.

In response to Reply # 343


  

          

Zion more efficient, a much better defender. Barrett can get hot and destroy your team but he's overall less efficient than Zion.

Also goes without saying that many teams in the NBA can beat the Warriors when Klay and Steph combine for 60 and the rest of the team goes 4-27. Unlike the Warriors, Duke is currently getting *nothing* from their supporting roster, and when we suffer an injury, that problem is exacerbated.

^^^This is what Duke looks like without Zion to me.

While Barrett might be the more polished offensive player (like KD is over Steph), Zion affects the game in a more significant way when he's out there than Barrett, albeit not by much (like Steph and KD).

But if you see it slightly different that's cool. There's not much difference in either scenario.

national rankings:

7th DWS (2.4)
3rd DRTG (83.7)...paired with his ORTG that makes him a whopping +39.1 per 100 poss

oh and hes shooting 36%+ from deep in conference play

Beilein might get this fuckin dude drafted

EDIT: also averaging more blocks than fouls per 40 (3.4 to 3.3). Thats wild to me.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Schedule for the rest of the season:

1. Beat a flailing VT team
2. Not blow it against weak competition at home
3. Repeat step 2
4. Get Zion back
5. Give Luke Maye 40 minutes of Zion, beat UNC at the Dome, and secure the 1 seed in the ACC Tourney

Not impossible. O'Connell staying hot would really help.

In response to Reply # 359


  

          

Without Zion on the court, teams are just leaving Tre wide open when Duke's on offense. It's a full-blown Rondo situation. If he's outside the perimeter, teams don't care.

Tre *actually* did a very good job defensively against Alexander-Walker, holding him to only two buckets in the halfcourt... but then coughed up a shitty turnover giving him an easy layup for his third. Like... c'mon Tre. If you're not shooting well, you *really* can't commit turnovers.

and us playing our worst defensively.

their guy who averages 6 had 18.

but shit, that happens sometimes.

still, TERRIBLE loss considering and it could end up doubly bad because we play Stanford next and while they aren't anything to fear, they just completely obliterated Wazzu and they'll be feeling confident on Saturday.

and despite all that, Oregon St. lost and home and Arizona St. lost too so UW fell into the regular season title WHILE losing to Cal...which is also TERRIBLE for the Pac-12. i dunno what's wrong with this league.

At some point, the people who try to undersell the defensive impact Tre Jones has on a game will have to look at the growing list of shitty performances guards have had against him and reconcile how it could possibly be a coincidence.

lol, not even a slam, as yes, he's very good, and Purdue has really impressed me this year. It's just an INSANELY stacked year for defensive-minded guards. One could argue Jones, Hagans, and Simpson are having three of the best perimeter defense seasons of the last, like, five years. Insane that they'll have to compete in the same year for DPOY.

In response to Reply # 378
Mon Mar-04-19 03:48 AM by PROMO

  

          

man, FOH with all them. if they don't give Matisse Thybulle (a 6'6" guard) DPOY then it's straight east coast bias/big school hype.

let's look at per game numbers of Thybulle vs. the 3 players you mentioned (per sports reference):

Thybulle - DRB: 2.5, STL: 3.5, BLK: 2.3

Jones - DRB: 2.7, STL: 2.0, BLK: 0.2

Hagans - DRB: 1.8, STL: 1.8, BLK: 0.1

Simpson - DRB: 4.7, STL: 1.4, BLK: 0.1

Raw numbers wise, Thybulle can still break Gary Payton's all-time conference steals record. He's also on pace to end up around 15th ALL TIME in blocks in the Pac-12 as a GUARD. He's only being bettered on that list by guys like Jelani McCoy, Mario Bennett, Sam Clancy, Dan Gadzuric, etc...aka all forwards and centers. This season he's had 17 games with 3 or more steals and 18 games with 2 or more blocks. 0_o

Now, let's look at the advanced defense numbers for all four:

Thybulle - DRB%: 9.5, STL%: 6.8, BLK%: 8.4 DWS: 2.4 DBPM: 10.2 DRtg: 86.4

Jones - DRB%: 8.1, STL%: 3.4, BLK%: 0.5 DWS: 1.9 DBPM: 4.1 DRtg: 94.3

Hagans - DRB%: 7.1, STL%: 3.9, BLK%: 0.6 DWS: 1.6 DBPM: 4.0 DRtg: 96.2

Simpson - DRB%: 15.5, STL%: 2.6, BLK%: 0.2 DWS: 2.6 DBPM: 5.6 DRtg: 88.9

I get it, Thybulle plays for UW and no one out east sees him and it's the Pac-12 which is having a bum ass year despite UW being 23-6 and being league champs with 3 games still left to play, but he's literally having a defensive season unlike any perimeter player in a long time. The people you mentioned are having good seasons, but Thybulle is having an all-time season and that's already on the back of him being Pac-12 DPOY LAST YEAR.

If he's not national DPOY it's a goddamn travesty. He's literally gonna be drafted (possibly in the late first round) for his defensive prowess. when was a college SENIOR averaging 10ppg even considered for the first round?

382. "TBH, I nearly put Thybulle on that list."
In response to Reply # 379


  

          

I only really didn't because the other three guys have faced more consistently difficult competition. The very few quality perimeter guys that have played Washington have mostly played well-- now granted, I didn't watch all of those games, so I can't attest to how often Thybulle was on those guys, etc. And I have been impressed with what I've seen of him and of Washington in general.

The reality is the Pac-12 has just been *so bad* that there's basically no chance he wins the top award. It'd be like giving the DPOY to the best defender from the WCC.

392. "and I definitely understand you're argument..."
In response to Reply # 382


  

          

about competition, but you gotta play who they put in front of you.

if you'd watch UW consistently (Pac 12 After Dark...it's entertainment, LOL) you'd see that Thybulle is literally winning games with his defense. i've never seen anyone that can anticipate a pass like him, not in college. yesterday, against Stanford he caused them to take a terrible looking three that would have been the game winner but had no chance to win the game because of his defense.

he's the sole reason Hopkin's zone is so devastating. even against the so-called high scoring teams they've face, they've held most of them to under 70 ppg.

there's some interesting stats and quotes in here, especially about his blocked shot numbers. i believe it's only he and Zion who average 2 blocks and 2 steals.

http://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basketball/news/washington-matisse-thybulle-zone-defender-pac-12-naismith-defensive-player-of-the-year/1af3m1ly2qtp61u9b0slbjxqyw

i already know he won't win cuz he's on the west coast and the pac-12 is meh, but he should.

393. "No doubt it's not his fault. "
In response to Reply # 392


  

          

It's not Washington's fault that the Pac-12 is absolute trash. But it'd be easy to argue that his defensive metrics are inflated because he's playing in a conference where shot selection is bad and turnover rate is high on the whole.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Washington in the tournament. They'll probably be around a 7/8 seed, and KenPom suggests that's too high. Washington is 2-5 in Tier A games this year, and they haven't beaten a single tournament team all season. They've also really struggled away from home-- only three double-digit wins away from home, with a loss at Cal and a near-loss at Washington State. I understand you can only play who you've got on the schedule... but they're not exactly dominating the conference, they're playing a lot of close games.

Still, it's likely they'll get a big second round game against a 1 or 2 seed, and then Thybulle can announce his presence to the nation with a big performance then.

i could see us making a Sweet 16 run based on the fact that most teams haven't played a zone like Hopkins' and it really does confuse teams....


OR


....i could see us getting blown out in the first round game depending on who we get matched up against.

it'll be interesting either way.

Simpson’ ahead of NE is insane. I'm only calling him out because I've seen multiple UM games.

And I've watched only a couple of Duke games. But f'& no, Jones isn't a better lock-down defender.


He is the reason we are going to win the B1G. He is that dominant defensively.

East Lansing and Ann Arbor and you didn't have to come to makey. (Where we finished undefeated btw) And still f'kd up the friendly gift of a schedule?

Look at top 3 schedules only one who didn't have to go on the road against the other 2 is UM. 4 losses and you haven't even made that East Lansing trip yet. Sad

Really MSU is the only one who should be talking, but you get swept by IU and really can only blame yourself.

388. "In KenPom Tier A games, Michigan: 11-4. Purdue: 7-6. "
In response to Reply # 386


  

          

Michigan's best OOC wins are UNC at home and Villanova on the road. Purdue's best OOC wins are Davidson neutral and Belmont at home. To Purdue's credit, they played a much *deeper* OOC slate than Michigan... but they don't have any big OOC wins.

And losing to Penn State on the road >>> losing to Notre Dame on a neutral court.

Hard to argue Purdue is better, imo. Resume or otherwise. Michigan would be a higher NCAA seed today and would be favored against Purdue on a neutral court today.

And the idea that Purdue had an easier conference schedule which is dumb.

No one is arguing who will go further in NCAA, of course it's Michigan

394. "I mean..."
In response to Reply # 391
Mon Mar-04-19 03:45 PM by Frank Longo

  

          

... Michigan's had six road games against the bottom half of the conference and only three road games against the top five in conference. Compare that to Purdue, who's played five road games against the bottom half of the conference and four road games against the top five in conference. I imagine those numbers are why KenPom has Purdue's conference SOS as better than Michigan's. It's a slim margin, but it's easy to argue that Michigan's schedule was "easier."

Besides, schedule isn't why Purdue is winning the Big Ten. Michigan suffered two dumb losses on the road and Purdue didn't-- that's why Purdue is winning the Big Ten. If you lose games where you're favored, regardless of schedule, you won't win the conference. That's why Duke is gonna lose their conference too.

387. "What are his big marquee shutdowns tho? "
In response to Reply # 380


  

          

I've liked what I've seen of him, and he belongs on the defense first team for the Big Ten.

But to win DPOY, you need those marquee performances in big games. I'm looking for big games against big teams in which Eastern faced a high-level scorer on the perimeter and absolutely shut his ass down. Voters need those. Cowan and Langford struggled against Purdue... but they also struggled against Michigan. So the impact of those would be neutralized. D'Mitrik Trice struggled to shoot against Purdue... but Simpson shut him down *twice* too. In which performances has Eastern proved himself a better defender than Simpson?

Meanwhile, for Simpson, I see Phil Booth shut down, I see Coby White stymied. I watched Michigan/Purdue, and Carsen Edwards struggled in the first half and struggled *worse* in the second half. That's three big performances I can hang a DPOY resume on.

Tre Jones? Coby White shut down, Shamorie Ponds shut down, Ky Bowman shut down. Matt Mooney shut down, Tre Jones wins that Texas Tech game for Duke singlehandedly down the stretch with his defense. Tyus Battle destroys Duke with Tre Jones out in the first game... then with Tre Jones back in the second, Battle shoots under 25%, doesn't make a field goal the final 12 minutes of the game. Kyle Guy doesn't score the final 15 minutes of the Virginia game. Again, easy to display those on a DPOY resume.

Hagans has admittedly been a bit more hit-and-miss in big games than Jones/Simpson, but he also has big games where his defense was a game changer-- the UNC game, the Kansas game, the most recent Auburn blowout. When he's locked in, he's an absolute terror. So I could make an argument.

I'm not saying Eastern isn't a brilliant defender-- he's very, very good. And you're right that he's a key reason for Purdue's success... but the name on the jersey isn't why other guys are ahead of him in the DPOY race. It's because they have marquee shut down performances (plural) against big name players that the voters will remember. If Purdue wins the Big Ten Tourney by playing MSU and Eastern faces Cassius Winston and holds him to zero first half points or something like this? Yeah, that'll help his cause a lot. Otherwise, he'll have to settle for being in contention for defense first-team.

Syracuse out here doing what they always do, making difficult shots and missing layups. Virginia getting nothing inside but wide open looks outside. I just hope Cuse can keep it interesting.

If they even shoot average, that’s a close game all the way.

I gave my TV the finger multiple times.

Teams don’t even shoot that good in warmups.

In response to Reply # 400


  

          

Granted, I changed the channel a few minutes into the second once it was clear where the game was going, so maybe a bunch of the later ones were contested.

But soooooo many of the first 10ish threes made were (1) UVA player catches the ball wide open, (2) UVA player sets up, (3) Cuse player tries to recover and rush the shooter, (4) shot is up before the Cuse player can change anything.

Frank got to the basket for like 3 layups, which might be the only 3 times all year he’s gotten to the rack.

Jones is everything I hate about college basketball. Scrubby little guard who grabs and fouls all game long 75 feet from the hoop, and they never call it.

In response to Reply # 432


  

          

To his credit, he made some FTs though.

Howard shot 36% this year, got 9 ppg, and literally never got to the hoop all year coming off a broken foot in the fall.

Weird that he went crazy like that yesterday. I’m not even being sarcastic....it’s weird.

That “trip” outrage was so overdone. It was a punk move on his part, but a VERY light attempt. Looked like something he did to be annoying for a split second before pulling back. It wasn’t malicious or dangerous. Nothing actually happened.

Laettner kicked somebody on the ground, Grayson actually did trip somebody multiple times, Henderson “Tito Santana’d” Hansbrough, hell I remember Jay Williams throwing the ball at a BC player to taunt him while dribbling the clock out......I was lmao at all the soapbox outrage. One talking head said the ACC should “publically reprimand” Howard.....lolololol. Yeah, that’ll show him.

That's where I'm at right now.

Especially ones that are doing good all of a sudden after not being relevant bball schools for a minute

And yes obviously it's not just Adidas, but damn they sloppy as f'k

426. "i dont understand the logistics of this"

LSU isnt an adidas school, so why was the coach dealing with them?

Georgia Tech switched to adidas *right* before this whole saga popped too. but whatever violations GT has been hit for in the past, we arent a bag school for any sport. obviously 😕 lol

428. "Yeah, Adidas catching the worst of it though"

Even the article I linked mentioned Adidas multiple times. I just assumed LSU switched to them.

I'm not sure Miller is going anywhere: #1 class with all the smoke and fire around him. Cray

our lack of good recruits (5* , McDs AAs etc aside fro Dlo) in recent years proves it ..even all the good instate kids went to other places
