I’m glad I don’t have to hear Bill Walton any more.
Let me quote a famous Walton Quote - -( PLEASE ) - – LMAO. - - have a great night my friend. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Man UNC has hit tough times. 4 of their starters combined for 12 points. Yikes. I’m sure the UNC boards right now are salty
Kentucky losing is a glorious thing.
Baylor won at home by 28
Cincinnati pulled away from Tennessee. KU plays them in January
East Tennessee St went on the road and beat LSU pretty handily. ETSU should make the tourney
UNC Greensboro beat Vermont by 1 on the road. Vermont almost beat Virginia earlier in the year.

Gives me a bad feeling for Saturday. - -Teams being ranked # 1 in the Nation haven’t fared well this year.
N Carolina is just sad right now - - - Duke getting beat on their home floor by SFA - - -Kentucky - well nuff said.
With this being KU’S 1st road game of the year , playing a pretty good team that have given us fits at different times , and I’m telling you from things I’m seeing Villanova is looking forward to this game. We’ve always seem to not play our best right before Christmas. -Lot of things going against us for this game, Just don’t get a good feel , it’s a crazy year this year in College Basketball.
Bottom line is Nobody is really separating themselves from everyone else. There really is NOT that a true dominant team this year. I think if we could come out of there with a win , I think you could very easily make a case for Us to be that team. Let’s hope we come out focused and ready to go against these guys. -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Good call @jayballer73 !!
I can not remember a year where so many top 10 teams have lost to unranked teams as double digit favorites. This year is crazy and the tournament is going to be bonkers.

I have a good feeling!

I have a good feeling too @Crimsonorblue22
Who’s guarding Doke? Who’s guarding Dave? JRE is their biggest player. LOL.
Kenpom has Nova #86 defense. Their fans say their defense is no good. This isn’t Wright’s typical team that can defend.
They have length at the wings and their best player Saddiq Bey is the kind of guy that can give KU fits. Swider off the bench shoots the 3 well too. Gillespie will chuck a bunch but his %'s are down.
The road game obviously changes things. Nova gets a few points playing in a home environment. It’s not their home gym though, they are playing in the Sixers gym. If Nova shoots lights out from 3 well we’ve seen what can happen. Not sure this group can do that though.
This is a young Nova team. I think they will keep it close early but as long as KU doesn’t turn the ball over 20+ times and lose the rebounding margin I’m calling a W. KU is going to wear this team down in the post and their defense is much better then Nova’s. This is a KU team that can just wear you out which we haven’t had in a while. I have some confidence we go in there and just take care of business

Can I do it again this year @BShark ?
UK sucks.

There’s your answer @Crimsonorblue22 Wiseman is done with college b-ball. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28335497/james-wiseman-leaves-memphis-enter-nba-draft
-
Hard to blame the dude. He’s a surefire Top 10 pick.
-
@BeddieKU23 Listened to the Villanova podcast. - they were talking about how to attack Ku on the offensive end. - - Talking/asking about do they attack it the way they have the last couple of times ? - taking Doke completely out of the game not being able to defend the perimeter - - Talking about the best chance is to attack and the Pace.
Said they don’t think they wanted to get into a up and down with Devon and KU - they feel they want to pressure on Defense force our bigs to get up and down the floor - on our offensive end they think they want us or force us to execute. - they rather have us in the half court instead of up and down - - pick their spots.
They talked about Devon being a fantastic guard and hard to stay in front of him - these are the type of Guards they have had trouble with this year -They think they can neutralize our bigs with their 5 out. - -only one problem with that - -we don’t run with a 3-2 very long it seems - more of a 4-1 -I thin k Moss could play a big role in this game - -us playing more of Garrett- – Dotson - - Obaji - - Moss - & Doke -Or Dave - -little different from teams past
Bottom line is they think JRE HAS to have a big game - -make Doke come out and defend him - -has to hit shots. - - I think it is going to be a tight game – They think Gillispie gonna have a huge game - Think Garett plays a huge part in this too shutting down probably the Dude that comes off the Bench and also spenda a lot of time on Gillispie
-
Interesting thoughts from them. I just don’t see it. KU is going to have to play at the level they played in the Duke game to lose. It’s possible but they are overreaching on some things they think they can do.
I see Garrett guarding Bey most of the game. He’s their best scorer and that would be huge to limit him quality looks. If Marcus gets in foul trouble which has plagued him that could change some things.
They have no choice but to double the post. Nobody on their roster can handle Doke or Dave for that matter. I think if Agbaji and Moss can stretch them out with a few made 3’s there is a good chance we control this game in the 2nd half. Nova is a year away IMO
-
This team gives KU fits. I’m glad for this series and hope it continues. It’s great to get this experience before March to try and figure stuff out.
-
@dylans could the two big lineup adequately defending Villanova be inverse “fools gold”?
-
@approxinfinity Just say no to 2 bigs against a 5 out team.
-
@dylans hope so!
-
@approxinfinity @dylans Well, unless we play zone. But we know that is naughty word around AFH.
-
@HighEliteMajor which two bigs in a zone though? Do you think Dave can do it?
-
@HighEliteMajor 3-2 zone would be nice, but zone is a naughty word simply because it’s a system that can be schemed against easier than good man to man.

Yes and it would be intimidating. I just wonder about the guards being able to apply the proper pressure. Dotson is relied upon too heavily on offense to exhaust him on D. Garrett would be good. Ochai would be ok. Moss
️ Enaruna could be good in a zone with his length.

Zone defense gets unfairly defamed. What makes it worse is when we see man coaches try to coach zone. They see it as a gimmick.
But we need to consider our team. This team, what we are dealing with. Can’t ignore our personnel. Can’t ignore the need to guard the line while playing two bigs. Can’t ignore that our bigs get exposed out on the floor. I can promise this – a properly executed 3-2 with our personnel would be better bet than our man, and would be more effective than how we guard the three point line presently. To be used in specific situations, against specific teams.
For example, how do we guard an Auburn type team with our two bigs on floor?
The Dayton situation scares me. That’s a March nightmare.
If we are best with two bigs, then we need to play a defense that fits.
That’s if we are actually better with two bigs. Not sure that we are now.

Everyone see Love get T-bagged?

I swear half the players in this game were seniors last year. Is Waters doing a PhD or something??

Tech really unloaded on them in the 2nd half. -I heard the announcers say that at one point in the 2nd half - -Oklahoma state has mainly Freshmen and players that don’t start in - - looked totally lost - - up 37points with a minute 11 seconds to go.
Tech isn’t THAT good and Oklahoma State isn’t THAT bad just snowballed bad shooting today. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Oklahoma and K-State BOTH just look really bad. - -These are the type of teams that KU if we want to be a serious National Contener can just plain flat out can not lose to. - - -I mean guys they just flat ass look ugly.
K-State just goes at a snails pace , poor shooting turnover - - Oklahoma Ditto - -33-30 at the half - -really bad ball. - - - of Course watching a basketball game at Lloyd Noble is as about exciting as watching you watch your grass grow. - -if it’s half full be really lucky - -it’s as quiet as a church house mouse in there - -just sad. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Precious Achiwua would sure look good in crimson and blue. Really excelling as a big for Memphis.
-
Villanova getting drilled at Marquette. Almost being outscored by Markus Howard.
-
Nova was a bad loss. Jay just has Bill’s number period.
-
Down goes Memphis at home to UGA. Also, our friends to the west blew a 7 point lead at the U4 and lost to Oklahoma. Lolz.
-
K-State manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. - - 66-61 Oklahoma. - Neither of these teams look like umm let’s say much. Reeves got hot at the end brought OU back K-State just wet all over themselves. - -Gonna be a long year for the kitties

Not sure how you can think that. Jay dominates Bill. Would slaughter again, coaching mismatch.

We would’ve won that game with Garrett. KU is just better. Is losing by a point getting slaughtered?

When Howard goes supernova there’s nobody in America that can slow him down. Dude is just ice.
