Same here Reef, love that #5 Houston at #2 Virginia

And how about Kentucky vs UCLA at Madison Square Garden?? I like that one.

[KevanBoyles]

If anyone is watching the UVA vs. Houston game, pay attention to UVA’s pack line defense. This is how it’s done. I think Archie plays a different version and I don’t know the difference. I like to watch how they pack the line and stop the penetration.

[KevanBoyles]

If UVA holds their opponent to a point a minute for at least 3/4 of the game, the are virtually unbeatable.

I’ll go out on a limb here and say our defense will never be on the level as Virginia’s.

[section(105)]

Never is along time, give Archie some years here, getting layers to learn and execute it and we’ll Be in business.

[KevanBoyles]

These Big East extra conference games are pissing me off.

[KevanBoyles]

It took years for UVA to play the defense well.

[rhodysurf]

Bryant stinks.

[ramster]

Bryant stinks.

Agree. I watched it. What was Grasso doing playing zone in the 2nd half with Liberty's shooters?
Edert has regressed from his days at St Peter's last year
Defense leaves a lot to be desired with Bryant
The Local Media darling didn't come through today at Springdale

[Jersey77]

PC over SH 71-67 in a back-and-forth game.
SH still without PF Yetna and also CG Femi injured.

[Jdrums#3]

PC over SH 71-67 in a back-and-forth game.
SH still without PF Yetna and also CG Femi injured.

A good spot win, as some say, Jersey. They caught SH in a good (for the team from Prov) spot. Not good for SH being under-manned.

It’s good to be lucky.

SH was up by 9 pts halftime.
Missed shots and FT's cost them in the end.

[JimSidd]

Mikan retired in 56 so I guess it’s possible

56 was the year George came out of retirement. I went to a game he played in the early 50s.

You must have been two or three years old when you attended that game.

I think PC will be on the bubble this year they are decent

Maybe. Cooley’s going to need to use his bench more than he did today, though, or the starters will wear down. I also need to see how they perform when Hopkins is on the bench for a prolonged period.

I agree Reef, Cooley did a nice job of reloading this roster, Hopkins is a stud.

[bigappleram]

Hopkins is the best player of the Cooley era. And he’s had some good ones. He’s one and done. NBA ready.

[Jersey77]

Good win by Duquesne over a decent Indiana State team 92-86.
Duquesne still with a depleted roster, in addition to still missing a couple of bigs, starting guard Tevin Brewer was out with a shoulder injury.

[Rhody15]

Ehhh Dunn was incredible.

Still a lot of season yet.

[Jersey77]

St. Joe's on top of Villanova at the half 35-32.

I was 7, and loved the Celtics.

[Obadiah]

UMass looked really bad in second half in loss to North Texas, 62-44.

[Jdrums#3]

UMess seems to be slumping after a pretty good start to the season.

[Jdrums#3]

VCU up 26 on N. ILL.

St Louis could use a win against 8-2 Drake tonight. Dayton could use a win tonight against Wyoming, too.

[Jersey77]

UMass looked really bad in second half in loss to North Texas, 62-44.

Ugly loss at home, Fernandes still out.
North Texas is always pretty good but getting beat by 18 in the Mullins Center is bad.

[Jdrums#3]

The Martin stare must have burned holes in his players uniforms today during that game.

[Jersey77]

GM over Tulane 62-56.

[bigappleram]

Wasn’t in the Mullins it was in Springfield

My bad, you are correct, still?

I think that’s where they are talentwise but really need to start stacking wins. They’ve lost to every decent team they’ve played until today. The BE is a bit down this year which makes it more challenging for a team that accomplished nothing in the non-conference slate.

[Obadiah]

As evidence of UMass shooting futility, with 8 minutes left in game Matt Cross put in a jumper to bring UMass to within 5 at 45-40, From there the Minutemen were outscored 17-4!

Matt Cross showed up scoring almost half of UMass total points, 19 pts/ 13 rebs.

Tim Welsh compared him to Ryan Gomes who he coached and he had a long NBA career

Ehhh Dunn was incredible.

Still a lot of season yet.

Dunn was an incredible athlete but had a flaw in his game - not a great shooter - Hopkins has no flaws and has an NBA body.

You made some big statements there BAR. I don’t think he’s there yet, but there’s a lot of growing he can do in the next couple of months. Should be fun to watch.

Dunn was an epic NBA bust considering he was a 6th overall pick , great college player though

[PeterRamTime]

Shout out to Davidson

Only down 3 minutes left in Indianapolis against No.1 Purdue

[Jdrums#3]

Davidson with 8 attempts from the line compared to 31 for Purdue. Now, that is some home cooking in Indiana or a lot of Davidson clutching and grabbing.

The game finished with 11 (6-11) attempts to 37 (28-37) attempts from the line. Davidson called for 21 fouls to 11 for Purdue.

Davidson actually outshot Purdue from the floor 24-61 to 19-58 including from 3 ( 7-25 to 3-25 ).

Solid effort by Davidson hanging with #1 Purdue away from home. They just couldn’t catch the whale.

[ramster]

Worse yet Reef, Dunn was the 5th pick in the 2016 Draft

Jaylen Brown went #3 to the Celtics and also Malcolm Brogdon went #36 in that 2016 Draft.

Strange to see 4 starters for UMASS failed to mage a FG. Only Cross made FG’s among the starters.

Please stop with this nonsense. Purdue hammers the ball inside to Edey or tries to on every possession. Davidson actually triple-teamed him on a few possessions with little Foster Loyer draped on his arm. Edey is 7'4"...the only way to stop the guy is foul him or pray that his misses from 4 feet away.

[reef]

Some really good games today that UNC Ohio St was a good one then Kentucky loses to UCLA

Let’s not forget Tennessee @ Arizona too

[adam914]

UCLA is my national champion pick this year. They got off to a little bit of a rocky start but I think they are really really good.

I think you are jumping to conclusions, PMMM, and only picking out one part of what I said above.

If you reread my post above, I said, now that is some home cooking in Indiana OR a lot of Davidson clutching and grabbing. Since I didn’t watch the game and only read the game stats, I could not say it was one reason or the other.

No nonsense here. You just misinterpreted or didn’t fully read my post.

I take it you watched the game and I appreciate your insight that it was Davidson clutching and grabbing that caused the fouls discrepancy.

[Jersey77]

Should be fun to watch father vs. son.
New Mexico is currently undefeated.

Who was it last year who called the Friars the luckiest team in the country? They are still at it as Seton Hall's starting center did not play at all yesterday and Croswell had a field day against their second stringer.

[JimSidd]

It was Jeff Goodman. Enjoy the clip.

What are you even talking about? The only guy who didn’t play for SHU yesterday was Femi, who averages 5 points and 20 mpg. Their center is Tyrese Samuel.

Actually Friar, Seton Hall has also been without starting PF Alexis Yetna, their 2nd leading scorer returning from 21-22.
They were hoping he would be back for conference play.
