NCAA Hoops Thread '21-22

[MuggsyB]

Great to see the refs letting these teams play.  Zero total free throws   Soid half of hoops.  Somehow Nove up 33-31.

Nova had their first turnover with 13:15 to go in the game.

Incredible.  But the fouls are stsrring to pile up.  Hopefully Nova finds a way.

[MuggsyB]

It's really interesting.  Purdue has two great offensive bigs but Painter can't play them together.  They have this enormous advantage inside but it may be disrupting the flow of their offense by constantly pounding it into them.  Wright for the most part isn't doubling their bigs.  Man I hope Noca pulls this off.

[MuggsyB]

Terrible sequence by Gillespie.  Free throws are hurting Nova.

[MuggsyB]

Omg!!   Gillespie absolutely changed the momentum of the game in Purdue's favor.  Horrible.  Horrible, horrible, horrible.  Went from 9 to 1  because of inexcusable plays on both ends of the floor from an apparent All-American.  Smh.

8 straight makes for Purdue.  Nova looks tired.

This game is reminiscent of what happened at Pauley. 

[tower912]

The announcers are correct.  Jay needs a deeper bench.   

[MuggsyB]

Ivey really taking over down the stretch.  Best athlete on the floor and pro prospect.

[MuggsyB]

Purdue definitely has more weapons but Nova has missed 8 free throws and did not play well to close the game.  You can blame it on fatigue or a short bench but they have had short benches before.

[MuggsyB]

I will say this:  I think Purdue may have the best overall talent In the country. If they make threes you're not beating them imo.

We should remember Nova is beset by injuries.

They are?  I didn't realize that.

Cosby-Roundtree is out for the year and Antoine is hurt again

[MuggsyB]

Damn.....Ole Miss lost to Boise St.

[MuggsyB]

Tenn up big on UNC.  Garcia does not look particularly happy.

[Dish]

UNC's last 4 games, they averaged giving up 88 points a game.

[MuggsyB]

Huggy may have gotten carried away with an array of  dishes at the local eateries in Charleston.  He can barely move on the sidelines.  I think he's getting close to the 325 lb range.

West Virginia beats Clemson.  The Tigers blew big leads vs both WVU and SBU.

Zona is rolling Michigan.

I just turned it on and haven't seen them much, but that tubelis kid is supposed to be pretty good.

I have just watched the last few mins. He's been very impressive.  Their coach was at Gonzaga for 20 yrs.  For about 10 yrs I've inquired if we had any interest in him.

[MuggsyB]

Purdue and maybe Illinois with Cockburn are clearly the favorites in the B14.  Big step down after those two ball clubs.
