Holiday hoops tourneys on today

Colgate loses 85-80

Well, I'm sure Duquesne is a Sr laden team with many returning players from a team that won...ummm... 1 game in the A10 last year.

Lemme check.

Nope.

Best players are all portal.

 

[rrlbees]

We softened Colgate up for Duquesne. Or else their arms were tired from shooting open threes against us.

They still shot real good from 3. 40% and that includes missing the last 2 or 3 in the closing seconds. Duquesne won because they hit 3s like crazy them selves hitting 46%. What they also did was minimize the number of 3s Colgate took. 25 tonight. 38 against us.

Gtown up by 10 at halftime over Loyola Marymount and loses by 20.

Georgetown - Loyola Marymount in 1990 or so would’ve been one of the more fascinating matchups to watch.

Colgate loses 85-80

So much for THAT narrative from the few still trying to make excuses.

 

[Lord Ashby]

Nice to see JJ Starling off to a good start at ND.

I mean...you think it wont stop some? We had a post suggesting last year's GTown team was good after they beat us then they proceeded to go 0-19 in the big east.

Richardson’s 3 point attempts by game:

2/6
3/7
2/4
7/11
2/4

We’re just so darn unlucky that he decided to shoot a lot against us, and we happened to be the one game where he made most of them. That’s it….just darn bad luck!

I was just thinking the same thing. Staying in the passive zone for 30+ minutes was really an awful decision. It made things so easy for them. Our man wasn’t great but the zone was beyond pitiful. Bad decision by Jimmy and everyone but him saw it.

Cuse

 

[PoppyHart]

eesh

That’s a massive Tier 1 win for the Dukes.

Letting a good and hot shooter set his feet and shoot from where he wants to shoot from is just a really bad decision.

Has to go down as top 5 poor coaching days for JB. It was sophomoric.

 

[Cuseball]

Would be a good win for the ACC

Yep if UVA wins that’s good for the ACC. We play them twice and based on what I am seeing (and saw from us) it won’t be pretty but both games could be Quad 1 chances since they are real good. They also play real good defense and can only imagine our offense against them. UVA up 17!

Last year’s Georgetown game is also in the top 5.

Not a good trend…

 

[hoopsupstate]

Virginia down 3 at half and now leads Baylor 57-38. Seven threes in first eight minutes of the second half. Baylor can’t get shots off. Virginia will win ACC again.

Which is why it was crazy for JB to stick with the zone the entire game after the first 5 minutes. He is so stubborn.

 

[Cuse4455]

ND tied with Lipscomb

I don’t know what defense Duquesne used but I assume it was m2m and just tried to deny taking so many the 3s.

 

[OrangeDW]

ND tied with Lipscomb

ND played 4 guys 38-40 minutes. Only played 6 guys.

4 guards in the starting lineup.

 

[Orangezoo]

As I said in the other thread- that Colgate loss is gonna be uglier than last years version

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Dang I was rooting for Baylor and want to see Mayer play his old team in the final. I guess I'll root for UCLA even though we want Illinois to be as highly ranked as possible.

Can't believe Baylor let that dude transfer.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

ND played 4 guys 38-40 minutes. Only played 6 guys.

Yeah they have 2 guards that have better stats than Ryan and Starling. 1 star big. Fun team their bests teams are always built like that. Lipscomb beat Belmont the other night the A Sun always has a couple good squads.

VT looked good earlier. ACC is going to be tough I'm not even sure we can handle Pitt or BC. Louisville and FSU might get their act together enough to beat us too.

How tall are you?

 

[blust2i3d4]

All four of our enemies lost today.

Georgetown, Rutgers, Penn State and Buffalo.

 

[kcsu]

How tall are you?

A little shorter than jim

 

[Dinkyspond]

I cannot think of Quad anything games after that debacle Tuesday. I'll take a Quad 14 win at this point.
