General College Basketball Thread 2020-2021

[Mr. Nielsen]

In D1 today:

47 games played
34 games postponed or canceled

Enjoy every game....

I saw 25 cancelled. Yet, others rescheduled games and did play over the weekend.  Yes, enjoy every game.

I am basing my numbers on the scoreboard at TheScore. If you look at that from yesterday, you will see a total of 34 games listed as 'postponed' or 'canceled.' Yes, some teams have juggled things around so they played  another opponent, but this does not change the fact that a huge number of games continue to be disrupted in some manner.

Humm.. I saw 25 on ESPN. 22 on CBS.

Edit: Just downloaded the Score app. I see the count of 35. Many were rescheduled.

Ohio went on a 40-0 scoring run, spanning halftime, to set a NCAA record for a game involving two Division I men's basketball teams, and the Bobcats beat Cleveland State 101-46 on Sunday.

Kentucky has started 1 - 3.  Its worst start since 2001.

Looks like they are imploding

Did they have to pause at all due to Covid?

They have nothing close to a superstar. When you recruit one-and-dones you better have on cuz you got a ton of young guys. They will get a bit better as the season goes on, but are no title threat whatsoever.

They are gonna find our what happens with a young team without a PG.

No, but a game was postponed and rescheduled when a staff member from Detroit tested positive.

I think they need to go to Davion Mintz as their lead guard. He's no superstar, but he can run an offense without hemorrhaging turnovers.

Ohio U beat Cleveland State 101-46

Ohio set a new D1 record by scoring 40 consecutive points before Cleveland State scored again.

With 1:41 left in the first half, Ohio led 46-26. The next time the Cleveland State scored, they were trailing 86-28 at the 8:03 mark in the second half.

I agree. I think it would steady the offense a little bit.

Thanks. Mr. Nielsen shared this two days ago slightly above your post.

So basically Derrick Wilson....

[tower912]

Great.  Ners is now creating a new identity.   Thanks a lot.

Mintz is a little bit better shooter and more of an offensive threat, but not a bad comp. And a hell of a lot better than Devin Askew, who's turning it over on more than 40% of his possessions.

[GooooMarquette]

FWIW, I was a supporter of Derrick to the bitter end.

[wadesworld]

Derrick was a starter under Buzz, Wojo, and Joe Chapman (who some want to get into college coaching).  Played well for the TBT team.  He's a hound on defense.

Derrick was never meant to be a starter, he was brought in for his defense and for depth and was a high character guy. Even his AAU coach was surprised when he got an offer from MU. I don't fault Derrick for anything he did on the court.

Purdue and blowing huge leads with terrible second halfs in their inter-conference early season match-up, name a more iconic duo.

[wadesworld]

I love watching UNC's transition game. Even when they stink, they still push the pace with the pass up the court.

Sadly, Tom Crean had seemingly never seen a single second of tape of Roy's team doing that as of very early April 2003.

They are AWFUL. They were terrible against Clemson. Needed a late push to sneak by Valpo, and now this.

In other B10 news, Iowa is REALLY fun. They will have games where they go cold, to be sure, but they are gorgeous to watch when they are hot

[JoeSmith1721]

Kansas State lost to D-II Fort Hays State by 13 at home. Fort Hays State was previously 0-3, losing all 3 games to other D-II opponents. Yikes..

[wadesworld]

Turns out the giant win Joey Hauser "led" Michigan State to at Duke might just be a win over one of K's worst Duke teams ever. But at least it was the first win ever for MSU at Duke. Because they play there all the time, of course. Not many monkeys left on Izzo's back, but a win at Duke was one Izzo fan thank Joey for.

Duke and UK were both vastly overrated coming in. I feel like people really didnt look hard at these rosters.

Kansas and UNC both are also not as strong as usual(UNC obviously beter than last years travesty) but Kansas especially is still really quality though.

[CountryRoads]

Damn sam vs joey canceled tomorrow.
