I guess since the refs from last night are being removed from Big 12 play they had some time to step in for the last 2 minutes of that Minnesota game. Goodness.

That's going to hurt the Draft stock

They didn't say they were giving them fewer assignments.

yeah, ku's defense was a regular steel fortress. They did hold TCU to 62.

I mean, this is getting fairly tedious but pitchcs says his problem with Indiana comes down to PG play. Raw responds with:

The royal you, the editorial...

Oladipo can do about anything, but ball handling isnt a strength from what i've seen. Great win tonight for SLU. Beating Butler will be the road win they lacked to be a top 15-20 team. Basically a defensive team without any real stars. You're talking to a guy who just referenced Zeller and Watford when challenged on ball handling. I'll assume you're just trolling, otherwise your tour de force of wrongness continues. Watford and Zeller can both be useful pieces in a press-breaker offense. It's a pretty common tactic to use big men as secondary ball-handlers to break a press, because they often have better matchups than the guards (who will be handling against guards specifically recruited to play this style of defense). IU has, in fact, used Watford in this secondary role, with solid success. Zeller, while obviously no one's idea of a primary ball-handler, can be an "escape route" (and he did play guard for awhile in high school). Playing against forty minutes of press, there will be more than a few possessions when the press-breaker offense collapses. In such cases, Zeller offers an escape route that typical fives do not--compare to say, Derrick Nix, where all would be lost if he's caught with the ball and the ten second count running out. This may only happen a couple times a game, but a couple of saved turnovers may be outcome-dispositive. The places to attack IU in a press are Jordan Hulls and Remy Abell. Hulls has an overwhelming tendency to pick the ball up/lose his dribble when pressured, creating trapping situations, and he's too short to see over trappers, resulting in turnovers/timeouts. VCU took great advantage of this last year, and Hulls had five turnovers in that game (a fortunately low number, in fact, from IU's perspective from the way the game played out). I think this also served to wear him down overall, as he shot only 2-7 from the field. Abell is a decent-ish ball-handler, but puts his head down while dribbling, has poor court vision, and thus is susceptible to traps and/or charges (two turnovers in only sixteen minutes against VCU). When someone says IU may have some problems because their ball-handling isn't great and you fire back with whatevs, Big Cody Z has that [expletive] covered...yeah, I'm not letting that die.

That's not going to get him a lot of minutes in the NBA. It's not so much his ball-handling as much as his NBA size that his him rocketing up draft boards.

I disagree we battled for a half. They just have Trey Burke and we don't. And then we came out with a 3 point lead and acted like we were down by 15. Lazy passes, no effort on loose balls, just pathetic.

We deserve to lose this game by 90 points. Cowardly performance by a bunch of players who already wrote this up as a loss before the game started.

Which of your 5'10" PGs is a future NBA player?

Wizards fans will probably ask the same thing, and I'm not sure their own GM can explain it.

Hmmm, lot of common ground in that link.

Thank you very much.

Dude's going to be the #1 overall pick, the classes aren't important.

Kind of anti-climactic with Indiana winning the rest of their games. Ha. If IU does manage to win their next three games, it will make the game at Michigan even more difficult. If that happens, IU likely will have the Big Ten locked up -- Michigan State is very likely to lose another game with their schedule -- and that game would all of a sudden mean way, way more to Michigan than IU and IU would be coming off a senior night celebration. Probably would become IU's worst performance/loss of the season. Unless you lose by 15+ to Michigan, I can't put that past the Butler game.

Yeah, Zeller's like the 10th most hatable person on that team full of hatables. And no, you weren't remotely likable when you were 6-25, that's what made you being 6-25 so fun. As long as that creepy weirdo is in charge, nobody is going to like your band of local Deliverance extras

We should pick off Syracuse before they even start just to troll.

rawaction is making predictions again

Yes, that's what's driving this. A UNC alum wanting to destroy the ACC I fail to understand any other motivation for adding mediocre (in football) filler, small-TV-market programs like UNC and Virginia. His ex-wife went to Clemson.
