Are you stealing bandwidth again?

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Louisville plays a good IU team tonight in the Jimmy V classic in NYC, looking forward to see if the Cardinals can play a complete game and minimize the turnovers. Freshman Shaqquan Aaron will be able to start playing Dec 20th against WKU, can't wait to see this kid play.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Very excited to see UL/IU tonight.

As for Aaron, cannot wait to see him get on the court. Only going to miss 2 more games. Tonight vs IU and then Sunday vs whomever.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Michigan is losing 34-31 with 11 to go tonight against Eastern Michigan. This is just not a very good team at all. This looks another loss to a mid major. Saturday they travel to Arizona where they will probably lose by 30.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Michigan sucks.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Apparently bad offenses are contagious in Ann Arbor. I don`t know whats worse right now the basketball team or the football team. This looks like it`s going to be a long *** year.

Hopefully Beilein has something cooking but yeah right now it's looking like it'll be a long year

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Louisville played a good game tonight, beating IU 94-74. Louisville dominated the boards and applied the typical Pitino high pressure defense, forcing Indiana to take bad shots and turn the ball over 19 times. 3 starters for Louisville had over 20 points, Terry Rozier had a career high 26 points. Louisville was atrocious from the free throw line (yet another hallmark of Pitino's teams at Louisville). The addition of Aaron could help this team quite a bit, especially if he lives up to the Francisco Garcia shooting comparisons.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

OK, now I'm worried about Michigan.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Michigan looks like one of those classic hot and cold teams this year. The areas of the game they can do well allow them to compete against some of the best teams in the country. At the same time, the areas of the game where they struggle allow anybody in the country to compete with them.

2 years ago, I thought Temple had a very similar complex. We were not a great defensive team, we lacked a lot of size but while we didn't have a lot of scorers on our team; we had easily one of the most creative scorers in the country in Khalif Wyatt. As a result, we were able to stay in most games because of his scoring ability and at the same time we were able to keep other teams in the game because we were by no stretch a great defensive team.

That year: We won at Villanova by double digits, beat Syracuse in MSG, beat St. Louis, VCU and Detroit at home and beat UMass and Dayton on the road. We also gave Kansas everything they could handle at Phog Allen. We beat NC State in the tournament and really gave away the round of 32 game to Indiana that year.

At the same time, we lost at home to Cansius, Duquesne and St. Bonaventure... so go figure.

One of the great things I've seen Coach Dunphy do at Temple is to platoon offense/defense in critical parts of the game to keep the team in it. I don't know enough about Michigan to say whether Beilein could do something like that.

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

OK, now I'm worried about Michigan.

Just wait til Saturday. Stanley Johnson, B Ashley, Hollis-Jefferson, and Tarczewski have met their match in Donnal, Doyle, and Bielfeldt

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Iowa State @ Iowa should be fun.

[Sportsforever]

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Not that it's unexpected, but Arizona had it's way with Michigan. Also, really disappointed in the way Utah finished their game against Kansas…really misplayed the last 2 minutes IMO.

[phenom1990]

Re: 12/8-12/14 Game Discussion Thread

Recap of yesterday:
Kentucky beats UNC comfortably at Rupp.
Arizona handles Michigan.
Kansas survives a Utah comeback in Kansas City.
Gonzaga wins comfortably at UCLA.
VCU gets their best win of the season in a double overtime battle at home with Northern Iowa.
Oregon beats Illinois in Chicago.

St. Mary's gets a great win in overtime at Creighton.
Arkansas takes care of business at home vs. Dayton.
Notre Dame opens ACC play with a win at home over Florida State.
Nebraska wins at home in one of the ugliest double overtime games of all time vs Cincinnati.
Oklahoma wins on the road at Tulsa.

That is all of the significant results I can remember.
