Not sure the last time Ive ever seen that happen
I think it happened to Western in a tournament and they lost but the refs never noticed it.
I believe today is the best Sunday of basketball in November that I remember.
Arizona up 16 with 14 minutes to go. They are too long and athletic for Michigan at the moment. They have as many points in the paint as Michigan has pints.
I have heard on hear how great of a coach Howard is. Well I watched that awsome 49 point performance that his Michigan put up against little ugly Mick in the ncaa tournament last year. Howard looked totally lost. I watched his team tonight against Tommy Lloyd coaching in his first year, and guess what, Howard looked totally lost again. I will hear all year again how great the big-10 is again. They are just like the acc, totally overrated.
Big difference is Miller didn't let him play much. Lloyd put him in from the get go. It is amazing how good someone can be with enough playing time.
In 2019, Miller was still landing big-time US talent like Mannion, Green, and Nnaji and landing high-level transfers like Jordan Brown, Max Hazzard, Jermarl Baker, and James Akinjo. But the NCAA scrutiny killed his recruiting last year so he started exclusively going after Int'l recruits, getting 6 (!!) guys from overseas last year (Mathurin, Tubelis x2, Batcho, Kriisa, Gorener) to go with his transfers from '19 and the Cameroon native, Koloko.
Now most of the US talent is gone with just Dalen Terry from Phoenix and freshman Shane Norwell from Seattle. and they are led by Kriisa, Mathurin, Tubelis, and Koloko. Oumar Ballo (who was at Gonzaga) said a big part of his decision to go to Arizona was the French-speaking players (and the coach came from Gonzaga)
Michigan also lost to Seton Hall. Seemed like a top 5 team starting the season but something isn’t right.
Now you are going to see how the Gonzaga system works with 5 star players instead of mostly 3 stars. Lloyd also has more international contacts than other college coach. I assure you that it is easier to recruit 5 star players at Arizona than it is at a small private Jesuit school out in the sticks of Eastern Washington.
That awesome big-10. They will end up with 8 or 9 teams in the ncaa tournament again, and all but maybe Purdue will be gone after the first weekend. All you will hear this year from espn is how great duke's coach is, even though he has won 2 acc conference regular season titiles in the last 20 years, { that's right 2] , and how awesome the big-10 is.
Just maybe it is the coaching , ever think of that ? It can't be though, because all I hear about Howard is how great he is.
Also: Duke has been to only THREE Final Fours in 17 years. Most people won't believe that fact.
A lot of people on here don't let something like facts get in their way, especially when they have no idea what they are talking about.
