NCAA Hoops Thread '21-22

[MU82]

According to Jay Bilas:  Theo John came into Duke as an 'excellent offensive rebounder".  I guess we learn something new every day.

Theo did get a great offensive rebound in among 3 Gonzaga players, which is why Bilas said that.

[PGsHeroes32]

If Duke doesn't win this game, they sure as hell are gonna hang around better than Texas and UCLA did

[MuggsyB]

He was an excellent offensive rebounder. It was the defensive glass he wasn't great at

I guess I missed that.  Refresh my memory.

When Muggsy blocked a shot did the announcers exclaim he was a great shot blocker?

[MuggsyB]

Is it me or are these cameras nowhere near the courr?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I can't remember for the life of me Kevin Durant in college surely even he wasn't as skinny as Holmgren is.

He is going to bodied on the defensive end in the NBA.

[MuggsyB]

The Zags are getting torched in transition.

FWIW, I'm guessing Theo had more offensive rebounds at Marquette than Muggsy had blocked shots at Wake.

Like you, I don't remember Theo being an especially good offensive rebounder while at our alma mater. Maybe the advanced stats folks can shed some light on it. As we discussed earlier, Bilas is often wrong.

[MuggsyB]

How about  Iowa St.?

1.5 a game carrer.  I didn't realize that was "excellent".  Muggs I believe blocked Patrick Ewng's shot once.

Banchero is a special player.

[MU82]

So far, from what I've seen this season, I would definitely draft Banchero ahead of Holmgren.

I really like Keels, too, but I'm not sure if he's considered a top-10 guy yet or not.

[Billy Hoyle]

Banchero is a special player.

For what they paid for him he should be.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Also Timme once again getting exposed by athletic bigs.

Cmon guys, he ain't gonna be a successful NBA player.

[MuggsyB]

Uhhhh.....Bachero is by far the best player om the floor.

[MuggsyB]

For what they paid for him he should be.

LOL

[MU82]

Uhhhh.....Bachero is by far the best player om the floor.

Wait ... are you trying to say I didn't discover him? Jeesh!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

He had an offensive rebounding rate of 7.3%. Top 450 in the country (out of thousands) and top 20 in conference (out of 120ish) in that stat. You can quibble about the adjective used but he was at very least a good offensive rebounder. It was the defensive end that he was below average in.

[MuggsyB]

Hard to believe this is only a 3pt game because Gonzaga looked atrocious in stretches.

[MuggsyB]

I guess I will "quibble" about 1.5 offensive rebs a game being "excellent".  Moses Malone he is not.

[Dish]

Good thing for Memphis that Duke/Zags was on at the same time.

[MuggsyB]

Terrible foul  call on that Timmie drive.  Theo may decide to deck Timmie in the next 10 mins.

[PGsHeroes32]

Theo with some offense

[MuggsyB]

I don't know why but Timmie's expressions remind me of the deputy in Mississippi Burning.

[PGsHeroes32]

Duke might wanna find out why their star players keep cramping in big games
