Remarkable. I'd bet that's the first time a team lost 11 in a row then beat 2 top 5 teams.

#3 Purdue also lost at home tonight... albeit to #14 Ohio St, a much better team than St. John;s

Incredible comeback by tOSU. At least on this night Wesson > Edwards. Holtman is a keeper. He's priced out of our market now unfortunately.

Wright only used seven, with one guy playing only 5 minutes. Damn it, now everyone will be doing it.

Just like the zone, JB is always the innovator.

Alright, come on now. Quit while you’re ahead.

The powers that be should listen to JB & also expand the Dance as he believes too...Johnnies proving again JB's genius status.

Buddy of my brother, who is also a lefty bball player (with a heckuva shot as well), posted on FaceBook a photo of the book he kept from that game while watching on TV at his house in Watervliet (obsessed is a good word for it). And yes, he had it signed by Mullin since then.

I know you're kidding but God there's nothing that makes me cringe like the thought of expanding the NCAA tourney field.

Nova is a lot better than UNC.

Correct. This is entirely subjective as seen through my orange-colored goggles

neither of those wins will be a road win against the #1 team in the country

Ever watch Tarks UNLV or Fresno teams?

Yes. Not the same zone.

Outside of playing tougher D when the opposing team passes the half court line I don't see much difference.

They’d bring their guards much further out basically playing m2m out too which would make them more susceptible to getting beat off the dribble yet harder to shoot a 3. Our zone is meant to get a shooter to take their 3’s from a bit further out away from their comfort zone.

I don't disagree at all, but the movement from the frontcourt is almost exact. It's very similar.

You better agree. Us Spartans have to stick together.

It would be nice to see more of this, which is similar to when we put half court pressure on. Especially when dealing with teams who have one or two gunners out top ( Kansas for example). That and slower pace teams who pass it real well like UVA.
