Holiday Hoops

Honestly, Michigan State looks a lot like they did when we beat them last year. Given that we add another big, we can play with them, no question. Some in the media think they are above us - I’m not sold on that.

Arizona struggling, just lost their second game in a row. Looks like a two man team with Trier and Ayton.
Which is pretty crazy considering they are loaded with 4/5*. Not sure exactly what to make of this. Also man…if we had Ayton…
-
@truehawk93 I said this somewhere else, I think Young shows your typical immaturity right now. - -He may be able to keep you in some games BUT looks to me like he can sure play you out of a game. - -Jacks up some very questionable shots. I can’t believe a Coach would want him shooting some of those shots constantly - I mean he is jacking some up barely past half court. - -He is good, BUT like you say I think he is gonna struggle some against equal or better talent.
I think what they have is a Buddy H. team part 2. - Only difference is Young might be a better passer - -probably about the same scoring wise - not right now but he will be - -close now. - -Not to worried about them. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 its small sample size, and they play different positions. BH may not be the best comparison.

Ya probably not the best comparision, just going more off their scoring capability - -But watching Young just saying that I think he can shoot you right out of a game as he did the other night, in crunch time he was launching shots from near mid court -forcing things on conjuested drives - -I will say this he can make some sweet passes though. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It really is both frustrating and baffling to watch Roy. He couldn’t won a championship to save his life at KU, and now he has three. He had some great opportunities too but fell short. Ugghhh
-
That being said, UNC looks like a final four team and one seed material.
-
@HawkChamp true story. It’s irritating. And they do look pretty solid now. Maye is a force
-
Alabama and Sexton (10 pts) beat BYU today. Tomorrow, AL faces it’s first true test of the year in Minnesota, also undefeated. Should be a good one.
-
Not trying to jinx Texas here, but they look pretty good against Duke early on. I’m not sure if I’d take Bagley or Bamba if asked to pick.
-
Duke is gonna lose, we are going to win and come Monday we will be #1.
-
@approxinfinity Sure hope Tripper and Puke does lose. But not sure we want to be number one at this stage of the season. Puts a God awful lot of extra pressure on the kids. We have a huge target on our back already just because of the name on the jersey.
-
Kerwin Roach just posterized Duke. Awesome!!!
-
Dunk was amazing.
Luke Maye reminds me of Nick Collison a bit.
-
I’M telling you Texas is no dog. - - They gonna be tough, they for sure aren’t going to lay down for us.
The thing that concerns me is, we are going to have big matchup problems on the inside with them. I mean Doke can take one but who is taking the other. - - That Sobeski or however you spell his name is really put together - really built - you put Doke on him - then who is taking Bamba?
They are going to be a challenge - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Watching them piss this one away is painful.
-
For 34 minutesthey dominated on the inside. Shredded Dukes awful interior D. And then they start jacking up 3s and let Duke back inthe game.
-
@approxinfinity Texas trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of Victory. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Mohammed Mohammed Bamba!
Moooohammed Bamba… Fouled Out.
Jack Tripper Jr fouled out. OT. Hopefully Shaka can extract craniums from posteriors.
-
Arizonaaaaaa
-
Hahahahahaha
-
Damn Young from Oklahoma went off for 43 points against Oregon today - -kid is a player. Having said that I think he can win you some games and he will lose you some with his shot selection. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
North Carolina is playing like Bill Walton commentates.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Roy needs to retire!
-
I’ll pass that message on to Roy for you.
-
Duke-Florida is looking the the Duke-Texas game early on. Hopefully Florida can finish.
-
Florida has practically zero size inside. Basically all guards. The team that will beat Duke must have inside outside balance, otherwise it is a mismatchup.
-
Duke started making 3’s too (now 7-12). I don’t know if any team can beat Duke when they are making their 3’s.
-
But Florida is certainly giving it the old college try.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrichyou could say that about several teams, but they aren’t a good shooting team other than Gracie. Cover him and pack in the paint.
-
That was kind of my point. Duke has made eight 3’s and only three of them have been from Allen.
-
West Virginia just did to Missouri what KU did to them last season. Down 16 point with 7 minutes left, by 12 with under 5 minutes and started to apply that pressure we have seen it before and steals the game and wins by 4. The refs tried to help MU with 2 bad foul calls in the last minute but MU could not capitalize. Good win for the conference.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I was just thinking that. KU with the assist.
-
I hate that WVU press but I have to admit that I enjoyed it watching Missouri getting beat by it.
-
Florida is hanging tough. They aren’t big like Texas, but they do have much better guards who can make shots. We’ll see if that helps them down the stretch.
-
Florida looks to be one of the toughest teams to guard in the country. They have fully adopted the Golden State model - run, gun and spread the floor. Really, really good team. Pretty good defensively too even though they are very short.
-
Between A&M, Florida, and Kentucky the SEC race could be pretty interesting this season. If Porter was healthy potentially Mizzou as well. As Kansas plays Kentucky and A&M this season I’m hoping one of those teams wins the SEC.
-
Bagley is a load inside but has missed a bunch of shots from right around the basket. With his height advantage he should be hitting at least 70% but he is under 50%.
-
Florida is trying to give this game away by not taking the shot clock down and dumb fouls on passes.
-
Deja Vu
-
Duke just got away with an offensive foul under the Florida basket.
-
Thank God the game was stopped to add 3 tenths of a second.
-
And dumb ball handling. And not making foul shots. And not rebounding or blocking out.
Grrr!
-
Florida got very conservative in the second half and choked it away. Why they didn’t double Bagley and Carter every time is a mystery. Also some sloppy turnovers. Florida played not to lose and it showed.
-
@mayjay Florida lost, Duke did not win.
-
Nice finish by Duke, but Florida gave the game away. Texas gave the game away, too.
-
Just a bunch of bad decisions by Florida at the end. Standing around dribbling and no ball movement when they got ahead big. Then missed free throws to put them ahead. Texas did the same thing. With our FULL compliment of players, when can compete with Puke in March. Double Bagley and Carter every time, dont let them shoot three foot shots. Cover Gracie and send five to the glass every time. Folks, they aren’t Kentucky in 2015 good. Florida is better and only lost when they stalled.
-
@HawkChamp Defintely looked different. Gave up the outside shots. Duke made all the FTs given them from the foul-fest.
-

I find their fouls very offensive, but? After a reb?
-
Carter should have had his 5th foul on that one. Wouldn’t wanna play any of the final four teams in the PK80 if the tournament was today.(maybe unc… Depends on the day). Good news is that can change. The tournament is not today
