NCAA Hoops Thread '21-22

WVU once down 15. Gets up 3 against Baylor.

Proceeded to start launching contested 3s.

They also have missed no joke maybe 13 straight lay ups/tap ins.

As a Big XII consumer through the years, that's classic West Virginia.  They're a fun team to follow from the outside but I can imagine the fanbase has other opinions

Yeah since messaging that it really hasn't improved.

And having Osobeuien go to the line after biffing the lay up is like automatic And 1 becoming 0.

Shame that Mayer and Cryer are both shooting outta their minds in this one

Bonnies sure as hell not helping our metrics

Neither is Ole Miss.  It's gotten worse.  They're down 25 to Mizzou.

Jesus

[Uncle Rico]

Kansas fouls up 3 with :10 left against Oklahoma and wins by 3.  OU made both FTs and fouled KU who made both FTs.  OU had to heave a 52' shot to try and tie.

D. Garcia had 3pts tonight in a 85-57 loss to Miami.

That's an expected result. Ole Miss, not so much

[PGsHeroes32]

Expected to lose? Yes

By 18? No.

I think Dayton was favored by like 5.5 or something

Wow, I probably looked at wrong game.

Then yeah, that proves my point even more haha

Yep. Opened at +2.5 but moved all the way to -1.5 in some places. Saw -1 at most books. Certainly wasn't a guaranteed loss, although I probably would have leaned towards Dayton if I bet that one.

Big win for KSU. Texas clearly misses Shaka.

No way he stays at UNC after this year right?

[JWags85]

Result for Duke yesterday aside, Banchero is so far beyond Holmgren in NBA readiness at this point is not even debatable. He's really good and really smooth

He's not exactly lightning it up Galway.  And his FG% is pretty poor.  I would also be alarmed as an NBA scout with his career assist numbers.

That's my point. I imagine he'd try to go home to Minnesota if he's going to play another year of college.

[pbiflyer]

Maybe he should have looked for a coach that has a history of getting long lean bigs into the league.......

[MuggsyB]

I think both he and Joey have a lot of offensive ability but it appears both were overrated hs talents.  I can't see either of them guarding anyone at the NBA level.  Sam on the other hand is the far better overall player....and on both ends of the floor.   I was never enamored by the fact that both DG and JH could handle the ball at their height.  It's about what they can do with the ball off the bounce.  We heard the same thing about Ellenson.  .7 dimes is an astonishingly low number and I don't think Garcia shoots particularly well off the dribble other than taking advantage of his size in the paint. 

[cheebs09]

Garcia would have to sit a year since he already used an immediate transfer, right?

I'd be a little surprised if he sat out a year.

Wojo gets a lot of deserved crap here, but how he used Joey, Garcia and Ellenson may be their high water marks.

Smith > Banchero >>>>>>>> Chet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bates

I remember when Bates was supposed to be the best player we've seen since KD was coming up.  And that he was supposed to be the next KD.  Oops.

I believe Nolongerwarriors was screeching that.

Maybe I am missing something, but his stats show that he is by and large the same player at UNC than he was a MU.  Just playing less.

The weirdest thing is that he is shooting worse from 2, and better from 3.  EFG is down overall.  But everything else is pretty much similar when the difference in minutes is accounted for.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Also keep in mind that Garcia is coming off a concussion. That may be responsible for his recent drop in production.

His stats were very inconsistent pre concussion too.

His 3 ball has been bad since then concussion tho. Law of averages or injury who knows
