UCF with a big win at home vs # 13 Texas A&M
Gonzaga crushed Baylor 101-63…

@Crimsonorblue22 was thinking that too, maybe hunt could pivot to be be our 3 pt assassin! Kidding of course, no way Bill sits a Naismith Trophy watchlist player. But having two big men split time going in and out could be valuable.
Who knows, we also might have a mayoNaismith contender too
-
KU UNC tickets are more reasonable now. $250 for ok seats - it was $1000 per seat in the rafters! Hope to see you (will have no idea who you are lol) at the game!
-
Good deal and I hope you enjoy it. You could get a rainbow afro wig and a John 3:16 tee shirt so maybe we could pick you out.
-
@Zabudda lol. I was actually given tickets, but the price is about a quarter of what it was a couple weeks ago. Probably will just wear my normal day to day - KU t-shirt and hat. Will be easy to spot.
-
I think I’ll be at Oakland and Brown games. UNC will be absolutely electric though
-
I watch some NBA games now. I didn’t watch at all for years and it is all about the 3 ball. The Celtics put up over 40 attempts a game with Tatum attempting 11.6 and shooting 37%. Our basic offense was to put Gradey or Furphy in the corner over and over and play 4 on 4 against a packed in defense. We were bad at treys and our record suffered as a result. I don’t think we will see that this year and then we will become hard to guard all over and since Hunter and KJ are above average passers we are going to be a high scoring team. Juan might average about 9 or 10 dimes with all our scorers or so I think.
-
I know I had mentioned my grandnephew an AA RB out of SDSU. He made the Jets final 53 man roster as the #3 rb and is one of the two deep return guys on kickoffs. Also he is on kickoff coverage every time. #32.
-
They are saying this will be the first time UNC has ever been in the Phog. Now I could be wrong and probably am but , I could of swore I had seen them play in the phog before along time back
The time I was thinking of when I think they had a guard I believe by the name of Jimmy Back ? – name sound familiar to anyone ? & think pretty sure Dean Smith was the Coach and they played that dam four corners - - you fall behind even a early shortly in the second half–you could forget it cause they would could into that dam four corners and just stall out the whole half-, forcing you to foul. No shot clock- -I’m so glad they put the shot clock in the game.- But I thought they had played before–anybody remember Jimmy Black and Dean Smith’s four corner?- -Was that played at the Phog — I’m old lol
-
@BShark bucket list games UNC and Arizona. - I have family in Arizona. And Arizona on Sr night… wow! Will have to try to make that game. Hope the stars align.
-
My son, a freshman in Navy ROTC, is scheduled to do color guard for the Oakland game. If anyone happens to be there and get a clean photo of the color guard, I’d be most appreciative.
-
Predictions on UNC vs Kansas?
Pound it inside first. Then sink the defense in and net treys.
Get back on defense because they like to run.
Rebound, guard, win!
-
We should run ourselves when we get turnovers and missed shots. I know Hunter is good at quickly making the outlet pass. We have speed this year.
-
on Defense, take the head off the snake (RJ Davis), if possible. He’s probably going to get his but cannot let him have a major game
-
If that game happened it might have been in Hoch Auditorium and not Allen Fieldhouse
-
@drgnslayr I was looking at their Boards, and they had a preview talk session with Davis, and he was talking how or needing their post up penetration and have dominance in the paint.
He was talking about our size , missed something I guess cause other then Hunter I would say we have a pretty typical sized tteam , but the way he was coming across was like we are really big- -comparion us with Elon size wise I guess. They had a 7’4 guy I guess. But Herbert was just talking about , post up penetration.
Was talking about how fast we get out in transition from defense to offense and what a good player DeJuan was - -I thought Whaaaaa?-- -OUR JUAN ? - - OUR D- @ /na that can’t be right lol.
-
Rebound. Play defense. Execute on offense. Hit shots.
I know it sounds simple, but limiting their possessions and shots is pretty crucial.
-
@jayballer67 That maybe was Wilt’s national title game against the Tar Heels. The triple overtime one. Played at the old Muni in KCMO, 1957. Frank McGuire coached against Dick Harp.
-
What I am hearing from this board is we can’t get in front of driving guards which is partially true and has hurt us in the Tournament and sent us packing against AR and Nova but most teams can’t get in front either. The hammer in these games is you need a rim protector and board workers who limit second chances. The big guards who are downhill players like Divincenzo would have a tough time against KJ who can stay in front of them. We have Flory and Zach who are instinctive shot blockers. Zach is long and aggressive and no fear. I know we give him little respect but I think he will hold his own more often than not as his minutes allow him to blossom. KJ is a real athlete and is better and better in the lane however he is not an elite ball handler but a a sneaky good passer. Zach, Shak and Zeke. And just because Jamari acts like he is lost he will factor as a defender and sneaky rebounder. There is just way too much on this deep squad with an actual tough ass bench. All players want to be on the court and we may actually see Juan being rested. Self didn’t have a choice the last two years but we can hammer the eff on opponents heads all year. Self wants to assuage his ego and romp ass. I want blood and as we said in the Corps “Killing’s our Business and Business is Good.”
-
KU and UNC played AFH in 1960 in the only one campus game ever between them. They’ve also played regular season games against each other in KC, Charlotte, and Raleigh so next season’s game will be the first time KU has ever played in Chapel Hill.
A big part of that is Dean Smith and Roy Williams pretty much refusing to schedule regular season games against KU/UNC.
-
I ran into a bunch of Heels on Mass last night. They’re all stoked to see AFH.

Slight pivot off course…took a trip to North Carolina years ago. Got to see the three big campuses (NC, NCState and Duke). It was Off-season, so I didn’t see any games, but I snuck into Cameron Indoor at Duke. It seemed really small and tight, especially the entry way. But the lights were off! Ha. All those campuses were nice. NC State is more modern.

That one might of been, but they are talking about the last time they played in th Phog ( Allen )-- -I also heard they haven’t played in ( Allen )- -I dunno.
-
@jayballer67 They played at AFH in 1960, the only one campus game they’ve ever played against each other.

Oh ok, I didn’t know – been hearing so many different answers. - -What I do know is I’m sure or pretty sure is the Phog is going to be jumping tonight – -it’s gonna be juiced.
Rylan and them was talking about how good the crowd was the other night – wait until tonight
-
@Zabudda I thought Zach had some good minutes against Howard, especially in the 2nd half. Got enough run time to get comfortable so he didn’t 't look lost. Made me think he’ll play some good minutes later when fouls or injuries star to pile up.
-
Im not down on Zach either. He seems to have active hands on D. He doesnt seem to finish well but he can bring energy, 5 fouls and size and thats useful.
