bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Aggie guards totally stunk up the join, but final was 63-62 Agroids. Phelps and Taylor were a combined 8/31 fg, 0/11 from 3. Mississippi was up 8 with 2:20 and the ball. Quote

bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Newell just fouled out. He deserved the fifth even if he didn't deserve his fourth. Arky tied in this because it is shooting a blizzard of fts and got a ton of offensive rebounds this game. Quote

bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Wow. that wasn't a foul on Newell. Was called on other Dawg first, so he's still in. Georgia ball tie game final minute. Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Just now, Jordan91 said: Yea the missed free throw changed it from a three point lead to two. A&M buried a three to take the lead. Right, but when you compare one free throw to a -17 on rebounds, I think you are comparing an apple to several apple orchards. 1 Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Dumb lazy pass across perimeter by Georgia. Now Arky ball in a tie game. Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Arky converts. Georgia down 2 with 30 seconds to go. Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Georgia got lucky there. Guard drove to ft line and froze. Lobbed to Newell before 5 second count could be made. Newell in position to do nothing, but he was bumped, and a foul was called. He hit both. Clutch ft shooting by the freshman center. Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Genius play by Arky. Wagner drove, missed the pullup, but an Arky guy coming to get position for the rebound slid under a Georgia player to take him out of position to prevent other Arky player from coming in and getting the rebound. Newell had to foul. Arky ft. Made the first, missed the second, rebounded it and put it back. 3 point win for the squid. Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 That offensive rebound and putback of the missed ft was by the shooter. Arky had no one in position to rebound. Georgia fell asleep there. Quote
bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 My final comment on college basketball tonight. It takes a network called "Vice" to run a series on Calipari and Pitino. 1 Quote

bierce Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Some other things of note around the country-- Nebraska lost at home by 5 to USC, and Indiana lost by 9 @ Northwestern. Both were 11 seeds in the matrix going into the games. Neither is likely to be there this weekend. Indiana has suffered a bunch of really big losses, including by 25 at home to Illinois and by a combined 42 points in road games against Nebraska and Iowa, two teams currently on the wrong side of the bubble. And Indiana is just now going into the toughest part of its schedule. It is the underdog in the next 7 games. Woodson has his job cut out for him. He might have a little breathing room since he won a tournament game in 2023, but Indiana basketball has been spinning wheels since Crean's last S16 team in 2016. Nebraska is on a five game losing streak, including home losses to Rutgers and USC, both on the wrong side of the bubble right now, and a 36 point torching by Purdue. Utah may run out of patience with Craig Smith this year, since it is about to miss the tournament for the fourth straight year. Utah had a three game winning streak thanks to breather of home against OSU, @TCU, and home against BYU, but it was smothered last night by Houston 70-36. I guess Dawes is now in the state of Utah for good, but maybe Smith will be let go, and he'll look for a new home. Always nice to see a tall guy with perimeter skills who is willing to fight for rebounds. And a lot of the "news" yesterday was about Dan Hurley going off on the refs against Butler Tuesday in a "don't walk away from me, I'm the greatest coach in the history of the game" or some such rant, and him whining yesterday about how his is the only great team that ever had to deal with hostile refs on a nightly basis. Maybe Hurley thinks a school can't be the new Duke unless everyone hates it, too. Quote

tylerlindsey2111 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 If you guys think Texas has roster construction issues, try being an Arkansas fan. They spent a good bit of money on guys who had produced numbers but have no fit together. Cal is actually not as much of a DDM offensive guy anymore as what he’s been known for in the past. His refusal to adapt or progress has really put a halt to his ability to have success in the college game. 1 Quote

Every time we had a coaching search, whether were replacing Barnes, Smart, or Beard, a lot of posters would always clamor for Calipari, and I couldn't find enough words each time to explain what a bad idea that would have been, but I always tried. 2 Quote
tylerlindsey2111 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 He can win the press conference, but his program isn’t conducive to winning college basketball games at a high level anymore. Quote

The guys that want RT fired after each game and think anyone will come here pointed to him last year. His NIL was double what Texas has and he’s 1-6. He has pieces that don’t fit. 1 Quote
