I guess time will tell he l if he doesn't get fired but can Penny coach? I know he was big in the AAU circuit but all they do is run and gun.

Damn Memphis is 9 and 8. Suddenly 14-3 isn't so bad. I still think Bates will be good in a year or two.
Nothing better than a win and losses by both the Cheats and Big Blue Nation lol
The Heels really need to find some help for Player of Year Armando Bacot
And to add insult to injury, Kessler had 19 points and 7 rebounds for Auburn today.

I am wracking my brain to figure out how the Heels will right the ship just in time for the Duke game. But it will happen. Always does.
Yup. Someone will have a career night and go off shooting 9/10 from 3 point range
It's virtually impossible. And Harris is bright. I would like to know what really happened
Kessler is playing well. They rarely throw the ball to him. He had 7 dunks yesterday, probably 4 via rebounds
If you or other Duke fans can explain why every Tar Heels game has a 20 point margin, I would be interested. Even if UNC plays better, I suspect they will struggle in close games because they've only played one, a 5 points loss at Notre Dame
I haven't watched many of their games but from the ones I've seen it seems like they live and die by the 3 ball. That's the way it seems like it is in the NBA now where teams are shooting 40 3's a game and when they're going down they win, if not they get blown out. Also, they beat up on the bad teams....I suspect this week against VT, they'll win by 15-20
Good analysis. I am beyond perplexed that Virginia Tech continues to rank in the top 40 in the computer rankings. They're 10-8 after losing to BC yesterday
UNC has been shockingly consistent in shooting the 3. this year. They average 8 of 21 per game, and it doesn't vary too much. Their opponents average 8 of 24, but their opponents succeess changes a lot from game to game
Kentucky played great defense and shut down UNC, 1 of 13. The only other bad nights for UNC from 3 were this week, 6 of 30 against Miami and 6 of 28 against Wake. I knew Miami would give them trouble, but Wake's perimeter defense surprised me

Bacot has turned his effort up to 10. He made his first 6 shots in the first five minutes. Coach Mike Young doubled him the rest of the way. Made only 1 of his final 13 shots, but grabbed 19 rebounds. Both teams gave maximum effort. UNC wins at home 78-68
I see that Arizona and UCLA play tonight. I don't follow the game like I used to. I knew that Arizona was having a great year, but 16-1 surprised me. The game is late, but maybe I'll watch the first half. If christophero, or another west coast fan has analysis, I would be interested.
Was first year Arizona coach, Tommy Lloyd, the brain behind Gonzaga's success?

I haven't seen Arizona play but have heard they look good. I think we will know more after tonight. If they can beat UCLA they are for real. The Pac 12 seems a bit down this year compared to last year.
Arizona is the best TEAM I’ve seen this season. 6-8 guys that can score in double figures on any given night, outstanding ball movement, great rebounding, great shooting, top level athletes. Mostly made up of international players which makes sense given their style of play and how well they move the ball.
Watching the UCLA AZ game now but at some point if I'm gonna keep watching I'll have to put it on mute. Can't stand Walton announcing!!
Heard when he learned of Kessler's departure that was the defining moment in Roy's retirement. He felt with Bacot and Kessler he was a shoo-in to get back to Final Four. OFC
Watched AZ/UCLA for a half....very fast paced and no worries about the shot clock. Both teams are very athletic and have decent guards who drive and shoot the 3 well. UCLA was at home so fed off that + Tubelis for AZ was hampered by a bad ankle so that limited his play on both ends. Both teams looked better balanced than us.
They didnt play badly and were hampered a bit with some injuries. The international make up of the team is really interesting...they played more mature than just a bunch of players with a few games under their belt. They will be a tough out in March
UCLA has their starting center Riley back. He missed the Gonzaga game. Also the freshman wing is starting to play better. If Juzang is hot they are tough to beat, but if he is cold they are beatable.
Can anyone care to explain why Miami is a 5 point underdog on the road against VT? Miami hasn't lost to anyone in a long time other than to FSU. I know VT is a had place to play but 5 points?
I put $300 on Miami. They're more talented. Virginia Tech plays a lot of close games so plus 5 is extra nice. Miami's only recent losses were by one point each
I like Mike Gminski a lot, but his earring makes him look like an old woman
