NCAA Hoops Thread '21-22

[MuggsyB]

Kim English made those two late free throws for Missouri to beat Marquette in 2009 tournament.

He's was a pretty solid player.  It's a great thing to see B14 teams lose.

[tower912]

Was that the one that led to the rule change?   Or discussion thereof?  Didn't he come off the bench?

[shoothoops]

English came in to shoot the free throws because JT Tiller had a wrist injury. He made them.

Then, down 2 with 5.5 seconds left Lazar stepped over the end line on the in bounds. Foul, two more FT's ball game.

English came off of the bench as a Freshman, and scored 15 points in less than 5 minutes plus the two FT's for 17. Jerel had 30.

Kimmie worked for Haith at Tulsa, Boyle at Colorado, Barnes at Tennessee (recruited Kennedy Chandler). He's very good. I'd be surprised if he didn't coach Mizzou at some point.

First ranked win for George Mason since 2007.

I said this last week but Ivey on Purdue is no joke.  Tremendous zoomability off the bounce and did you see that hops.  Without question a lottery pick and maybe POY in college basketball.

Purdue plays at a different speed

Not a fan of that program but that team is super dangerous.  They're a legitimate title threat.  Excellent overall pieces and depth.  On paper they should absolutely handle Nova.  Really interesting match-up if they beat UNC.

That's a helluva game for November

Colgate will win at Syracuse.

I flipped it on the final couple of minutes. Syracuse actually lead 17-2. Lost 100-85. Love it!

Aren't they one of the teams that is even more inexperienced than MU? Maybe 1 senior and 1 junior on the team.

Losing to a local rival hurts

Syracuse got pasted.

I wish Nova/Purdue wasn't at noon, that's going to be a heck of a game.

Was thinking the exact same. I'll try not to find out who won so I can watch the replay after I enjoy Cam's return. (At least I hope it's enjoyable for me.)

[shoothoops]

Jaden Ivey is a good example of a player that initially wasn't highly recruited that has done very well for himself and his teams, and continues to do so.

Purdue was his first high major offer after their camp. They were in on him well before many others.

[MuggsyB]

Having watched both Purdue and Nova it's hard to see Nova pulling this one off.  I hope I'm wrong but Purdue has two really competent post bigs.  Ivey is a total stud and they also have a dead-eye shooter.  They're good and they're deep.  Nova has to find a way to control the pace.  They do not want a track meet with Purdue. We all.want small ball to prevail so hopefully Nova is on from distance.

[MuggsyB]

Edey is an enormous problem for Nova.  Dude is 7'4.

[MuggsyB]

Nova getting absolutely hammered on the glass.  They may have to make 12+ triples.

[MuggsyB]

It's early but it looks like Purdue just has too much.  They're getting any shot they want and dominating inside.
