Forgot about Jonas Aidoo until just now…
Had a pretty good 1st half.

Does Duke have an offense?  Other than taking terrible shots?

This game has been a brutal watch thus far

Their offense was pretty good the last six weeks or so but turnovers were a problem early in the year.

Tennessee is certainly the closest match in the bracket to our pressure defense but our offense is better on the whole.

No, but to be throttled by SDSU after beating the top of the ACC is a bit surprising.

It shouldn't be.  In order to pull off that upset, the team has to be really overlooked or just played the perfect game.  Sometimes it is the former, ala Dick Bennett's Green Bay teams.  Usually it is the latter.  They cannot do it two games in a row, their opponent is not looking past them, but may be thanking their lucky stars that they do not have to play the team they beat and goes out to kill them early.  That is what happened to Furman.  And Lehigh, and Norfolk State.

St. Peter's did beat Kentucky and then Purdue last year.

Considering their game will be done before we tip off, who do people want in K-State/Kentucky?

I want K-State. I think Stevie and O-Max are ideal to guard Nowell and Johnson. I also don't think they have anyone who can impose their physical will on Oso like Tshiebwe might. They also aren't great at 2PFG% defense, which is our bread and butter. Finally, it gives Shaka the chance at a H2H win over fellow NCOY candidate Tang. Give me the Purple Kittens.

That's 4 on Roach.  Time for Tenn to take control of this game.

Vescovi is a heck of a player.  Is he on the NBA radar?

I'd think so. Did he have any crossover with Ben at NBAA?

I don’t care, Brew. We are the #2 seed. We are the power.

Let them worry about playing us. I realize matchups are important, but we are probably as matchup-proof as any team in the tournament.

So what kind of team is going to actually beat us?  Doubt you have an answer.  I suppose a team that can match our combination of defensive pressure and offensive firepower.

B…but…they’re 19-1 when fully healthy!!!!

ESPN should be embarassed with how much they hyped this team. And a fair amount of posters here went along with it.

Considering he’s been wrong about everything he’s posted since Shaka Smart got hired, it should fill you with confidence

SDSU -5.5 was the easiest bet of the day. Furman plays almost identical to CSU, SDSU is 8-3 ATS against CSU under Dutcher. There was arguably no better team SDSU could have matched up with today than Furman.

I mean, in fairness they did lose a starter right before this game. So not fully healthy.
