Yay for them?

[Underdog 28544]

Get your shit together, Nova. 

[Underdog 28544]

Well done, Nova. 

[Pancho 44688]

Some good games today while eating and waiting on 6:30 to arrive:

aggy - FAU

Arkansas - Nawf Carolina

USC - ou

Memphis - Villanova 

Baylor - Florida 

 

[Blotto 23487]

aggy playing their first decent competition (FAU) of the year and getting worked by 18  with about 10mins left. Buzz just got him that sweet aggy extension money, so he can go back to cruise control, per aggy tradition. 

[HtownHorn 14663]

Buzz Williams has no neck.

Wrong. His neck starts at his waist.

I posted last night they could get a 2/3 seed and win the SEC because the SEC won’t be very good this year. Arkansas is about to be knocked out of the rankings, Tennessee isn’t the best, and Kentucky hasn’t shown much yet. But the problem with aggy is them riding Taylor so much. If he played 35-38 minutes a game nearly every game, will his legs be under him come SEC play and beyond?

i think kentucky is going to be the best team in the sec by the end of the year. if they get their bigs back healthy and if hhwir freshmen start to jell, that’s going to be a dangerous team.

I think they can be as well. My concern about picking them to win is Cal (as crazy as that sounds)

[Pancho 44688]

Villanova up on Memphis 46-16 in the 2nd half

[Degenerate Gardner 4085]

Baylor getting handled early by unranked Florida 11-5.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

wut

[Underdog 28544]

UK with a 69 spot in the 1H, there's been several UK teams under Cal who struggled to get 69 in a game.  The lack of bigs opens up the court for the shooters but does hurt them some on defensive boards.  The 3pt. shooting is a bit reminiscent of Pitino's early UK teams. 

[Underdog 28544]

UL beat NMSU in OT thanks to a 49-17 FT disparity, the Aggs finished the game 4 on 5 having fouled out 6 players. 

[Underdog 28544]

ACC/SEC Challenge tonight, UK with a chance to build up their resume with a win over Miami at Rupp.  Wins over ranked teams(NC) have become rare under Cal of late. 

[Underdog 28544]

Cats up 42-37 in an entertaining first half if a bit whistle happy from the Refs. UK built a 21-11 lead only to see Miami go on 18-2 run before UK retook the lead late in half.  

[Underdog 28544]

Good things happen with Reed Sheppard on the floor.

18-2 run by Miami

21-4 run by UK

[Underdog 28544]

This has been impressive I must say.  Didn't see it happening or happening in this manner.

Aggy gets revenge on Penn State at the disney tournament. 

A&M might win the regular season SEC title and be a top 2/3 seed in the tournament 

I wouldn't bet on it. This aggy team has the same issue that all of Buzz Williams teams have had since he got there. They can't guard the 3 or shoot the 3. 

They're #259 in 3 point% on offense and #197 in 3 point% on defense (per Torvik). They do everything else well but they still can't shoot or defend the 3. 

[Underdog 28544]

Go Vols/Hogs! 

[MirrOlure 14757]

Jimmy V speech…30 years ago this past March….ESPN featuring it now.

And Andrew Jones shown ringing the bell.

……shoot, got something in my eyes, I’ll be right back

[Colonel Sanders 1336]

We're all Hoos tonight.

[Js1 85264]

52 combined points for UNC/Tenn

37 for aggy/UVA

Same time in the game. UVA making things into rock fights is so yawn inducing 

[Underdog 28544]

GDit, Big Orange.  Get your shit together. 

[Underdog 28544]

St. Joe's that took UK to OT is up 12 @Nova with under 5 to play. 

[HtownHorn 14663]

Nova 0-2 in the Big 5.

This aggy-Virginia game is two bad teams trying to lose.

[Js1 85264]

I had no idea the dinky looking Groves brother ended up at UVA

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

This aggy UVA game is a microcosm of Buzz Williams at aggy. They can't shoot or defend the 3. 

Your ceiling is low when you can't defend or shoot from 3. I don't see this team doing much of anything. They will play somebody like Penn State last year that will just absolutely blitz them from 3. 

It's like aggy has a thing for coaches that are completely unwilling to adapt to the game (Buzz and Jimbo). 

[Underdog 28544]

Heels will probably out score both of those teams with just their 1st half total of 61. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

aggy 3/20 from 3. 

This is Buzz for you. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

aggys finally figuring out who Buzz Williams is. The funny thing is they're even worse at defending the 3. 

 

[Underdog 28544]

I believe in you, Big Orange.  I believe.

Tennessee has cut the lead to 7 with 7 left

Arky up 8 on Duke, 12 left. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Colorado State is for real. Isaiah Stevens is one of the best players in the country nobody has heard of. 

Already have wins over Creighton and Colorado. 

[Pancho 44688]

Duke hasn’t played an away game in the SEC since 1992 lol. (@ LSU)

 

Jesus.

why does my brain hear “1992” and think, “what, like a decade ago?”

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Good win, piggies. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Fans did not listen to the PA guy. 

[Underdog 28544]

1992?

From Eastern Washington to OU to UVA is quite the academic progression. Kudos to him.

I wouldn't want that dude on the team either as he doesn't exactly sound like the kind of guy you can count on. Is he gonna sit out next week if they forget the honey mustard sauce for his pre-game nuggies? But then again, if I was coach, he wouldn't have had an opportunity to lead a comeback in the 2nd half. I would probably make a shitty coach.

Can you imagine today's players telling Bobby Knight they don't feel like playing because they've got the wrong panty hose?
