General College Basketball Thread 2020-2021

[MuggsyB]

Amazing rise in coaching ranks.  Was a HS coach in MI for 11 years before becoming an assistant at Buffalo in2013-2015.  Then HC at Buffalo for several seasons before signing with  AL last year.

I'm connected in the Caymans Nuke.  If you cash out your portfolio could we get Oats to MU?

As far as Marquette is concerned it has been 8 years in the New Big East which I was against and 8 years with no big dance wins. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Am not saying change conferences but changes are needed especially for a program with spending in the Top 7 and Attendance in the Top 10 and went to 8 Consecutive Big dances every year in the Old Big East with 9 NCAA  Wins. 1f the Bottomline Winning is not there,  changes should be made.

Just out of curiosity, where are you getting the Top 7 from?

What conference should a high spending school with no football be in then?  Hilarious blaming this on the conference to justify your own lackluster opinion and not an inept HC

Agreed. The conference is the least of our problems. Our only real option would be to move down (A-10, Horizon, etc.), and that would turn us from a high-spending school to a mid-spending one.

Sounds like the dude wants to be Dayton, Loyola, and SLU.

[MuggsyB]

Great guard play in the Illinois/Ohio St game.  It's nice to see thess guys scoring in the mid-range area.  They also do a terrific job being patient and changing pace off the bounce.  Our perimeter players should take notice.

[MuggsyB]

But like Michigan yesterday I don't understand that shot by Illinois. 

[NickelDimer]

Guard play all weekend has been as good as I can remember

[Billy Hoyle]

But like Michigan yesterday I don't understand that shot by Illinois.

Thought he was Damian Lillard, apparently.

Great block on the put back.

[PGsHeroes32]

I will never understand why teams in a tie game hold the ball for the whole clock then launch from Curry range.

And the sad thing is, it happens in like 85% of these situations.

Run a play and uh, idk maybe draw contact?

[MuggsyB]

Right on cue.  Beautiful mid-range J by the Illini guard.  That's a shot our  players almost never take minus the occasional floater from DJ..

Agreed completely, that made no sense. At worst, run your offense. That used to drive me nuts about Howard. Felt like it was a given if we were tied or down a couple that he was going to run it down and take way too long a shot.

That's the game now. Walton made a comment about Colorado shooting (and missing) a 3 on a 3 on 1 break, saying "that considered a good shot today." He wasn't saying it in agreement

[MU82]

I love the team Underwood has put together. Very capable of winning it all.

[The Sultan]

Big Ten teams who are in the tournament have never left Indy right?  That's gotta be worth something right?

[PGsHeroes32]

Correct.

Althought no teams have left anywhere. So all the other teams are just coming from current location to Indy. So not much difference.

[Dish]

Creighton ain't getting past UCSB.

[MuggsyB]

I wouldn't want any part of Winthrop if I was Nova. 

Whisky gets a #9 seed. 

[Dish]

The Big East best bet to play the second weekend is going to be Georgetown.

[MU82]

Madison vs UNC in the They Must Really Suck Cuz They Lost To Marquette Bowl.

[MuggsyB]

Brutal draw for Loyola-Chi.  That sucks.  Ga. Tech and if they win Illinois?  Ouch.

[MuggsyB]

Syracuse does not deserve to be playing in anything but the first 4.  Ridiculous.

[Dish]

Midwest region is BRUTAL. Ok State a 4? Loyola 8? Ga Tech 9?

[NickelDimer]

It's crazy. OSU isn't a 4 seed on any planet. SEC way overrated.
