The College Basketball Post

But that's the thing, shooters like ****ey go cold sometimes. Same with guys like Grant who are great but still growing into their games. Largely, those guys have exceeded expectations this year. But you guys just have zero big guys who can get a basket and that's been consistent.

Syracuse losing to a garbage BC team at home shows how weak CBB is this year, that should make for a great March tho

I am really questioning CBB this year too.

I am not going to call it "weak" I just think that there isn't a GREAT team this year and there is a handful of pretty good teams.

Last year Louisville was the great team and the year before Kentucky was...no one can argue those teams were overall the best teams in college basketball in those years.

This year there just isn't that...there are a handful of pretty good teams like Cuse, Florida, Arizona, Wichita State, Kansas, Duke, Michigan State (when healthy)...but not ONE great team. That's the only thing missing from CBB this year in my opinion (and I have no problem with that because it makes it a lot of fun.

Honestly that makes it more appealing, the parity is beautiful this year

Perfect year for Cincy to pop up in the E8/F4 

 

[worldbeefreeg]

I mean half the team is 27, I would hope that this would be the year.

Rivalry at its best. In last 85 meetings, UNC leads Duke 43-42, but Duke has scored 2 more points (6,566 to 6,564) #DUKEvsUNC

We might need a NT NIT link up to watch your squads this March.

I feel like the "No great teams, a lot of good teams" has been the trend for college basketball the past few years. When was the last truly great team?

First round on u at The Garret?

Let me bounce a question off you guys...can't really ask my KU friends cause they're all biased...

KU down by 1 w/ 10 seconds left...does Wiggins get the ball and try to create? ...Maybe I am wrong but I just haven't seen Wiggins drive and create his own shot without getting fouled much this season. I've seen a lot in transition, some 3s, and getting to the free throw line...but what would happen at the end of the game when the refs may swallow their whistles?

This past Tuesday Self went inside to Embiid and against Colorado KU was in this situation and he went to Ellis. 

Do you guys think Wiggins can drive and create his own shot w/ out and finish and if you were a KU fan would you trust in that?

 

[dacomeup]

Can he? Yes.

Is that his strength at this time? No. 

 

[osh kosh bosh]

The way Bill Self positions his offence the lane is too clogged he will get fouled/lose the ball.

If they can space the floor like they did a couple times vs texas tech then sure.


The new wrinkle in selfs offense I like a lot they are using against hard hedge d's

they go with a high pick and pop, with tharpe and ellis, ellis setting the screen around the nba three line, tharpe goes laterally to draw the defense and the hedge, then they reverse the ball, ellis still at the three point line at this point its 4 on 3, elis instantly passes to wiggins in the corner,

tons of space thee d scrambling wiggins attacks the close out, with his first step and long strides its a foul and a bucket every time.


I pretty sure its by design, they caught texas tech with this 3 times I think.

I've seen that too. Like it as well.

Just wanted to bounce that off you guys...have to come up with a show topic tomorrow and it's difficult to when none of the local schools (KU, K State, Mizzou) aren't playing tonight. Thanks fellas.

parker always in foul trouble

UNC fans are getting annoying after each basket made. these refs aren't helping either 

 

[duke40]

I know I don't post in here much but I am about sick of these byll$hit elbow calls. I a defender crowds up how else are you supposed to move or drive? Get freaking tough.

 

[tvobach]

And here come the fans blaming the refs.... 

 

[duke40]

Nope - saw it last year with Iowa St. Saw it with Mich St a couple weeks ago. Makes no sense to look at it as a flagrant or even offensive. I blame this on 4-20 3 pt shooting and not having Dawkins in while NC ran zone all second half.

 

[dacomeup]

Wooo 

Loved Roy switching to zone for a bit. Let a team playing their 3rd game in 6 days start launching 3s late in the 2nd half. I'll take that even with Duke being that good of a 3 point shooting team.

Makes me dread Cuse Saturday if the NC zone screwed them up.
