Very insightful. Have you thought about getting into sports journalism?

I’ve watched a lot of tape. They do a good job scoring a bunch of points and not letting opponents do the same.

I think this is finally the group that gets Coach Few a title. It’s hard for teams to score at the pace the Zags can over 40 minutes. They play such a fun brand of basketball.

Can you tell they have that “it” factor? That’s when you know you’re elite at scouting basketball

I'm going to write the NCAA a sternly worded letter. Friday through Monday sucks ass and the timing of the games sucks ass. Today is anticlimactic and lame. After a weekend of 48 games back to back to back, the entirety of today has been watching Oregon destroy Iowa and Gonzaga destroy Oklahoma. That's all that's happened since 11am tipoff. 

They killed Thursday March Madness for this terrible shit.

Can they "score the basketball?"  That's also key.  Some teams are good at scoring the clipboard or scoring the Powerade bottle, but the best teams are the ones that score the basketball.

Today's schedule is no different from the old format though.

This really is terrible -- it's so terrible that I have actually gotten some work done.

They also do the little things.

So in CBB, you can draw a charge by sliding in underneath a guy sailing to the bucket, but if you jump straight up and the guy with the ball elbows you in the face with his off arm while going to the basket, it's not a charge?

Is that correct?

People still think it's 2006 and Adam Morrison just graduated.

Even going back that far, they pretty much always play to their seed. The only times they've really been "upset" are when they ran into a team that was Final Four bound (a good team peaking) or a team that had Steph Curry on it.

I'm still so fucking angry right now. The idea that the star player for ACU scored a whopping....checks notes......... 11 points...... to win it for his team to get to the second round would be fucking laughable if it didn't come at the expense of my happiness.

They are allowed a lot of contact and hand checking with ACU. 

Yep. I specifically remember Steve Smith talking about the intense defense they play while a replay was rolling underneath his analysis and the ACU player was literally hand-fighting Ramey as he dribbled up the court.

Hold the ball, don't fire up the quick three, make them play defense long into possessions tiring them out, hit mid range jumpers and get it down low.  Tough concepts.  Their legs are already going out and you see it on offensive end and will eventually show up on defense.

Weird how now everything isn’t banking off the glass for ACU 🙄🙄

They missed 71% of their shots in our game and scored 53 points.  They are doing the exact same fucking thing here.  Difference this coach isn't a stupid ass with no plan or idea how to adjust on the offensive side to deal with their gimmicky bullshit.  Fuck Shaka

We lost to a team whose coach has the herp and gimmmicky defense that UCLA figured out in 5 minutes. 

And by "figured it out" you mean they employed the innovation of a backdoor cut every now and then or even something really high level like an off ball screen.

No disagreement. But damn they threw up some shit that banked in that’s hitting the rim and bouncing off this time.
