it’s not an insult to the job. It’s just saying their pg looks like a 28 yr old salesman and not a college pg. he’s also the type I mentioned earlier in the week because he doesn’t stop moving and also doesn’t break a sweat. Look up in 4th when you are tired and lost 3 lbs of sweat and he looks like he could go another game.
they didn’t play the schedule we played. Got whipped by UCONN twice. Not sure how many top 20 wins they had. They did beat Bama by 3 when Bama went 4/22 from 3. Just can’t give them any room to shoot
It will come down to defending the 3 point shot. This team's identity is defense. If they can't match up with a team like Creighton and stop their clear focus, they don't deserve to win. Who the best defense Creighton has played?
I think Oregon was playing a zone for much of the game I saw, which is exactly what I wouldn't think we would do.
Best D they played is UConn, who held them to 48 once and got lit up once. Colorado State also held them to 48. This will be all about the threes. If we are within 10 percentage points on deep shooting, we have a very good chance to win, because we should have advantages in every other phase. Wild card is Aidoo showing up against one of the few opponents taller than him.
You know it’s an emotional thing to play and coach but I’m glad Barnes didn’t cry on the court after a win to get to sweet 16 yesterday like Shaka just did. Think he would probably gotten lit up if he did.
If any other player extended their arms 45 degrees over a shooters head and made contact with them while they shot, it'd be a foul. "Have to be straight up!" Not for Edey. He can build half a house over the shooter and it doesn't matter if he hits them when they come up.
If Purdue games were correctly officiated, they’d be like 4 or 5 seed and Dalton Knecht would be National POY.
