It’s Stetson

[auror]

As the Hatters, their fans wear lots of fun hats to the games. Their court storm was hilarious.

There once was a man from Stetson
This is a lock if you wanna place a bet, son
Jane his wife and daughter Judy
Not a bad team for double duty
By George, his surname was Jetson

Danbury hats WTF.

Watched the ASUN champ against Austin Peay. A few thoughts:

• Run a mix of 1-3-1 (base D) and man. Both are bad defenses. Undisciplined, bad gambles, and really weak inside.
• Austin Peay ran pretty basic stuff and Stetson pretty consistently lost track of guys, leading to open looks. Samson should have some earth shaking alley-oops in this game. No idea how they’re going to manage all the action we run.
• Bigs are really slight and were just bullied down low. No idea what their answer will be for Clingan, but my guess is Hurley just feeds him early.
• A lot of their offense came from Austin Peay being one of the more incompetent PnR defenses I’ve seen in a long time. Still don’t really understand what their scheme was there. Mostly seemed to just result in wide open drives to the basket or pick and pops. Ended up just switching everything at points in the second because they were getting eviscerated.
• Blackmon, their leading scorer, is a good shooter and can break down guys off the dribble. Don’t seem to be any other guys that can really create for themselves. No doubt Hurley will stick Castle and Diarra on him and then dare other guys to beat us.
• Blackmon and Spencer WILL be jawing at each other. That is one thing I am most confident about in this matchup.

Our PPP is going to be >1.3, minimum.

This was our gameplan often in the non-con to start games against cupcakes

In game 1, all I care about is that nobody gets hurt.

 

[UconnU]

Stetson has 6-3 Guard Jalen Blackmon, averaged 21.5 PPG, 43.4 % and 38.9% 3P. Got 43 today against Austin Peay. No problem for Castle. Remember 1st game of 2006 tournament and Mike Scott of Farleigh Dickenson. He kept it close. 42 pts.

Portal target?

Anyone want to guess when the Sunday game might be?

Anyone want to guess when the Sunday game might be?

Either 12:10 or 2:40

The president of Stetson played basketball at Wesleyan, coached at my high school, and is legit a great guy… that’s all I got.

Yep. He was one year after me at Wesleyan. Captain of the basketball team and Academic All American in baseball. Nice to see him doing well.

 

[61cygni]

Sounds like we'll be able to let Clingan sit inside and have everyone else running them off the 3pt line. Defense with Castle on Blackmon and Newton on their PG should be the keys.

Wesleyan alumni are great pot smokers. Lol

Stetson: may God have mercy on your soul. We are about to wreck you bums.

 

[Mazhude]

Well, I maintain a TS/SCI clearance and am famous for not letting the Ultimate team get high before games when I was captain... parlayed that into a White House gig, and then a career of public service. So there's that. Oh, and I went to high school with Earl Kelley.

 

[Thirty Three]

Their guards are their team.
They can get hot and really drain threes
They are small
Not a very good defensive team
They will mix up playing zone and man to man

 

[HooperScooper]

Yep. He was one year after me at Wesleyan. Captain of the basketball team and Academic All American in baseball. Nice to see him doing well.

The guy who coached FDU last year when they upset Purdue in the NCAA Tournament also went to Wesleyan. Bill Belichick went there. They must produce good coaches.

Danbury hats WTF.

Stetson did own a hat company in Danbury one of if not the last to operate in that city .
I remember when it it closed as it was a big story .As Danbury was the Hat City for 120 years .
The iconic , what we now call a cowboy hat they invented wasn’t made in Danbury Unfortunately.

What I love about being the #1 seed is how you get to learn that a far away school exists at all, let alone that the school has a Division I basketball team. Had anybody on this thread seriously heard of Stetson University just 2 days ago?

Well, come to think of it, I guess I did see a little bit of their conference championship game, but I’d have forgotten all about that in another month if UConn wasn’t playing them.

I did. I predicted Stetson will get a P invite before UConn, because Florida.

Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

I would think UConn would be very much one of the leading candidates- for: State Flagship, academics, basketball, geography, northeast NYC Market, very good in all other sports including olympics... And yet SMU got the nod

Did someone say Elijah Allen?

Hated that guy (til the game was over). Although he lit up Ricky, and Ricky took that personally … making it sort of a superhero origin story.

 

[boog204]

It's worth going back and watching that game in the offseason. Allen's performance is legit one of the greatest things I've ever seen. He had 43 on 14-17 (6-7 from 3). Defines the "zone."
