When is a point guard not a point guard? Even if he is listed as a point guard ?

Markus Howard and Andrew Rowsey.

UConn slowed it down a ton with Timme on the floor and then with Timme in foul trouble they got out in the open floor.

That was the fastest paced game UConn has played in a month and the only higher tempo games they've played this calendar year were against St John's.

[MU82]

When Timme was in the game, Sanogo and even Clingan were beating him down the floor. UConn did whatever they wanted out there most of the night, and the Zags were helpless because they shot 10% on 3s vs their usual 39%. When UConn's shots started falling, it really was over.

Exactly - it’s not a coincidence that both times we beat UConn, Hawkins had a bad game.

Can you see how many possessions there were in the first half while Timme was still playing ? The game was totally different when Timme picked up his fourth foul and sat for a long stretch of the second half.

Markus Howard and Andrew Rowsey.

John dodds would agree with you. That’s never a good spot to be in.

Zags roll ... by far.

[GoldenEagles03]

Stick a fork in SDSU.

They have 0 answer for Kalkbrenner.

[mugrad_89]

Creighton already getting a favorable whistle.

[MU82]

Not that I should be surprised about it, but I can't get over how much Brian Dutcher looks and (especially) sounds like his father did.

[MuggsyB]

Good 16 mins for both teams.  I think if you're Creighton they have to be surprised they are only up four.  SDSU has been very efficient offensively the last 5 minutes. They have no answer for Kalky.  The question is will Creighton keep feeding him, will the Aztecs double, or do you let him get his and still find a way to win?

Several poor offensive possessions in a row for Creighton.

[mugrad_89]

San Diego St with an effective mid-range game.  I thought that was bad basketball strategy?

What’s the last prediction you made ? Or do you just like feeling good about yourself pointing out when other people are wrong?

San Diego St with an effective mid-range game.  I thought that was bad basketball strategy?

It is, but doesn’t mean it can’t work.  Both things can be true

[MuggsyB]

San Diego St with an effective mid-range game.  I thought that was bad basketball strategy?

Yep.  Not a lot of triples in this one for either team. 

[GoldenEagles03]

San Diego St with an effective mid-range game.  I thought that was bad basketball strategy?

It is.  They are horrible offensively.

[tower912]

Clearly, Shaka and Nevada are idiots who need to be replaced with coaches who emphasize the mid-range jumper.

Before the Texas-Xavier game.

Texas is simply the better team. I don't bet, but if I did the 4-point spread looks pretty inviting.

I got lucky on that one, but I make bad predictions all the time, as all of us do here. I mean, my bracket was a dumpster fire. But when making predictions I rarely use terms like "by far" ... and if I'm proved very, very wrong, I don't double-down, triple-down or quadruple-down on them. I admit I was wrong.

I actually ignored your "Zags roll" post until, again, you couldn't just admit that you were wrong.

They didn't publish full by half stats, but there were fewer FGA in the second half, indicating the first half might've been played slightly faster.

Just by the eye test, UConn blitzed gonzaga in the second half. Gonzaga didnt get a ton of shots up for long stretches without Timme. First half was a slog.

I did - buddy you’re worse than dodds trying to police your own value set.

...(checks score)...(SDST down by 5)....

[MU82]

Creighton's offense has been dreadful these first 6 minutes.

No Mensah = big trouble for sdsu. Creighton getting inside w ease
