It's weird rooting for the team that has the guy that can snap the skinny white guy in half

Gonna suck to lose to this shit UVa team this year.

Our record versus them suggests that will not happen.

Anyone watch Kansas/MSU? I'm really impressed with Kansas' early season offensive execution. They run a lot of clever offensive sets that are designed for only one outcome, so the sets are predictable, but they executed them perfectly last night. They also executed well out of timeouts.

Also, MSU really has guard issues. Lots of turnovers.

I actually thought before last night that Kansas is the team I would bet on to win it all if I had to choose one team in the top 10. I think they’re underrated while Gonzaga and UCLA are overrated. The roster is very experienced.
I didn’t get to see any of the Kansas game last night though.

I listened to a Game Theory podcast, and Sam Vecenie eviscerated Izzo for his gameplan against KU. He said they kept trying to post up against McCormack. Since he doesn't move well in space, you're letting him off the hook by posting up against him. He also mentioned that they didn't run anything for Christie despite his being guarded by a 6'0" guy.

Just something to monitor if Kansas plays a team that can actually spread them out. I think even we could theoretically do that despite our shooting. Just set high ball screens with Keels or Banchero.

Vecenie and his guest ranked the teams Duke, Kansas, UK, and then a big gap...MSU.

On another note, I feel like Remy Martin has been in college for 10 years.

Nutsack of November.

I wish he had just finished his rant with that. "In conclusion, Nutsack of November. Vecenie out."

Tshiewbe had 14/20(10) tonight

Villanova/UCLA tips in 15 minutes. Should be an interesting game.

IIRC his name used to be Perry Ellis, but he changed it to get another decade of elligibility.

Offense is optional so far in Nova/UCLA.

Now they're making everything.

 

[rome8180]

Juzang on fire.

 

[rome8180]

Nova looks great.

I'm a UCLA skeptic. Not convinced that an 11 seed who made a fluky tournament run is actually deserving of a top 5 ranking.

 

[rome8180]

Great game.

Agree on all above. And Nova should have easily won - the 2nd half officiating was dreadful. Samuels is awesome and Tyger Campbell's hair is an abomination.

On a neutral court, obviously Villanova wins this. UCLA needed overtime and terrible officiating to survive on their homecourt.

Both teams appear to have excellent spacing and shooting.
