I really like a 4 man bench of Griffen, Coit, Bidunga, and Moore with Passmore getting some spot playing time. Bench scoring was down a bit against Duke, but that was really just because Storr started. The last two years had the same key issues: lack of depth, only a couple reliable outside shooters, no competent bench big, and no backup point guard. That’s all been fixed and we still have high level talent at the top of the roster. |

The other day someone on TV was talking about Jameis Winston (IIRC) and how he's turned his mentality from gameday nerves and what not to "it's a great opportunity to play".... and I feel like that's my life watching sports these days. There's a lot less wondering if teams are for real and stressing about how they look against the better teams they play in the regular season, etc... it's just a great opportunity to watch good/great teams. Of course, once the Chiefs reach the playoffs, I'll be stressing the **** out about the 3peat, but it's nice for now. :D |

Q and Liepold have their gameday flaws, but I don’t think anyone doubts their ability to gameplan and develop talent. Obviously Self and Reid are the best ever for their teams. It’s not often that all my teams have their coach settled. |

We are spoiled and it's all a dream come true. After we won LIV, watching all of the ESPN shows afterward and seeing the chiron, "Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Champions" I realized the only time I had ever seen such a thing was when I won playing Madden or Tecmo.
|
Refs just called a very similar dirty undercut foul on a rebound a flagrant 1 on UConn’s Karaban against Dayton. The refs in our game didn’t even consider it.
|
ESPN spent all of yesterday blowing Auburn. They must have been really mad about that Duke game.

And they have to be unranked now, right? |

Even though their coach is the epitome of East Coast douchebag. God that guys a total queer |
Didn't uconn lose their whole team from the previous two years?

It's highly unlikely we ever have it this good again, so I hope we all enjoy this ride and appreciate it. |
Reaaaally looking forward to seeing the new rankings on Monday.
This has been a wild, wild week of college basketball. |

I think we’re better than Furman

Can barely find a working stream for this one but it doesn’t appear I’m missing much

It worked briefly and I saw Clemence on the floor

Big KU run to end the first half. Second half was all KU. |

Flory is just as good if not better than Hunter.
There I said it. And he doesn't even know how to play yet. Will continue to get better. |

Mayo is so much more than that. He's versatile and way better than Timberlake was, especially on the defensive end. |

No. They would not. He isn't ready for that. |

Avgs more points, more rebounds, more blocks per minute than Dickinson. His efficiency can make up for the lack of him having a 3 point shot. Once he learns defensive positioning he will be even better. He's only going to get better. When he is on the court its also more difficult for the opposing team to shoot 3s since hes a more versatile defender. We are sometimes prone to that when Dickinson is in but I honestly think Dickinson is an underrated defender to some degree. |
Flory’s per 40 stats are really good though. 24-16.
|
Quote:
Damn BWillie, I agree he is going to get better, can be extremely dominating in time, but we are not there yet! We all like what we see in him now but THE BEST IS YET TO COME! FTR, you can not expect him to be better than an multiple All American this early in his career! But it is very promising! |
Dickinson is as 23-14.
Both are good. I like having both. |
Quote:
He has a better offensive rating than Dickinson. Even gets to the FT line a little more than Hunter. Now perhaps there will be a regression but so far that is the big story. |

I can't imagine watching Bidunga and thinking "that guy's more polished than our All-American center who gets doubled or tripled every time he catches the ball." |

I’m glad we don’t have to choose between the two

Quote:
Hunter isn't going to get better by playing more minutes. Bidunga will. And Bidunga has a future beyond this year with the program. The only benefit of not giving Bidunga more minutes is exposing him to the 2025 NBA Draft |
https://evanmiya.com/
Evan Miya ranks him 6th so far this year as well and that stat has nothing to do with volume |

I’d actually like to see them on the court together more. Bidunga plays the 5 on offense and defends the opposing 4.
Hardly any team will have that kind of 4-5 duo with the skill sets needed to defend both. Unfortunately, KJ has been good enough to limit how much we’ll see it. |
And I think Flory is on his way to the first round of the 2025 draft.
The flashes we see aren’t a mystery. |

Playing him over Dickinson is something Calipari would do. That's how you end up a 2-4 seed in Auburn's bracket instead of the overall 1 seed. |
single game conference tickets are now on sale. There's a few games you can stick pick up for face value if interested.
|
anybody making the trip to Omaha, tonight? Ticket prices are reasonable...

I had this one penciled in as a loss before the season, but feel good about it now.
When Kalkbrenner scored 49, they only won by 13 over UT Rio Grande. Our bigs should be able to give him some trouble. |
Per Mike Vernon:
Hearing: Rylan Griffen Doubtful (Illness) I'm Hearing that Rylan Griffen is DOUBTFUL to play vs. Creighton due to an illness. It sounds really unlikely he’ll be able to go… but I’ll keep working to find out if anything changes before tipoff. I first shared this with VIP subscribers last night. I’ll be able to update paid subscribers ASAP if I Hear anything different via Scoops Texts (it’s part of why I love that feature). |

Damn UCON game is taking too long!
|
Self benched Storr super quick.
Must be furious about that effort defensively. |
Getting destroyed early and I’m stuck watching UConn
|
I assume Griffen is out if Passmore came in immediately, that’s a huge loss

|
Harris got fouled 3 times before they called a foul on Storr.
It’s going to be that kind of game. |
I STG IF WE SEE ANOTHER DAJUAN HARRIS FLOATER TONIGHT
|
Their game plan of letting Harris shoot every time is paying off.
|
WTH, I've seen Creighton hit 2 3's for Des Moines or Grand Island, not sure which! :eek:
|
Since I've turned it on here KU is shooting some really ugly contested runners and missing. Creighton is throwing the ball backward over their heads from the opposite free throw line and swishing it.

That was good D by Bidunga until he left his feet. He was leaning a little, but stayed in front of him well. Experience will fix that.

We just need to settle down on offense!
