Lately I've been looking closer at the Kenpom numbers and the Giant Killer upset prediction model, its pretty clear that while its unlikely that Syracuse would get upset very earl in the tournament, due to the zone, low turnover offence, and ****ey and Ennis ability to force turnovers at the head of that zone.

But I find it difficult to imagine them in final four or elite 8 margin of error is very small, if they face a team that can crash the boards they are in trouble, for any team team with a high end D CJ Fair is too easy to stop.

Tyler trying to score more is important, it will give them another threat, to create shot in late clock scenarios rather than relying completely on CJ fair.

If grant injury is as bad as it sounds (recurring back spasms) we're not making the sweet 16. Just not happening. Dont score enough. Not enough depth.

Cuse are such pretenders its hilarious

 

[awwsome]

Cues can't win without Grant, look at the offensive rebounds and pts in the paint

 

[pauliepeppas]

Cuse are such pretenders its hilarious

UVA is legit give them credit.......no Grant is a huge deal

When is Bennett going to get an elite job? Dude is only 44, I'd love to play for him.

Exactly. Dont see how you can say they're pretenders losing on the road to the ACC champs with 2 key players hurt. *shrugs*

Tony bennett seem like a cool coach. Good job he did

You don't need a passport to be a top 20 pick, you know that right?


bu lol kentucky in general.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

lol south carolina.

 

[finallyfamous]

You do know that plenty of top 20 picks end up in europe right?

 

[outkast9984]

Any franchise who takes WCS in lottery will end up having their gm fired...anyone who tries to make a valid reason to do so doesn't know ball

Hes just had a bad year.

Hes so limited but he is 7 feet tall and can run like a forward.

I just dont think he'll amount to much if anything

who knows maybe you're right, but I just think its funny people who think he wont be drafted high and won't be in the league for a while.

Patrick O'braynt was in the league for while so was loren woods both former raptors, not only did they suck but they were complete malcontents.

Daniel Orton came to the combine fat, had a messed up knee and never played in college, still was a 1st round pick.


Can't teach height. WCS going to make some money in the NBA.

 

[finallyfamous]

true that.

In other news shoutout to Southern Utah basketball.

1-25 and losers of 25 straight.

 

[dacomeup]

You have like a 1 and 6 chance of playing in the NBA if you're 7 foot. 7 foot AND a Kentucky player? Even Jorts got drafted.

And that's not even considering the emphasis on rim protectors these days.

 

[jaeevolution]

Marcus Smart is reaching CP3 type flopping levels...

 

[8pm at msg]

Louisville 1-5 against ranked opponents. Suspect.

LeBryan Nash never panned out like he was predicted to. He's putting up solid #s but people probably expected too much in the first place.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Watching college basketball for the past couple years, I have come to the conclusion that other than a small handful of coaches, these college offences are a chore to watch.

They need to shrink this shot clock.

 

[jewbacca]

Watching Embiid for the first time tonight. Dude is legit.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

also: Marcus Smart playing like complete dog ****.
