2 Duke MBB playersCrazy watching a Tennessee WBB player and a Duke MBB player touting UConn.
It's fine to bring up that we are in the 30's in defensive efficiency this season, but to not attribute at least some of that to not having our defensive anchor for about 2/3 of the season so far (and maybe not having him at 100% at all yet) is disingenuous, or just lazy.
This is not to mention that we didn't have our best perimeter defender for a month as well.
The game against Creighton was probably closer to 100% than any game we've played all season, and we held a team that usually scores 79 points, to 48 points. That was a top 5 defensive performance the one time we had everyone available and close to fully healthy.
Said it before. It’s amazing how much hype was around Clingan going into the season and his absence has been completely glossed over. Imagine if Dickinson was out 5 games of conference play for KU, and they won’t every game despite that. We wouldn’t hear the end of it.It's fine to bring up that we are in the 30's in defensive efficiency this season, but to not attribute at least some of that to not having our defensive anchor for about 2/3 of the season so far (and maybe not having him at 100% at all yet) is disingenuous, or just lazy.
Jay Williams basically sounds like a UConn fan now. He always has great things to say about the program and he's said several times that he wanted to go to UConn but Calhoun took Tony Robertson at the time. That's not how I remember it but I like hearing him say it.Crazy watching a Tennessee WBB player and a Duke MBB player touting UConn.
I'm a big Andraya Carter fan for a variety of reasons.
My wife randomly met her at the gym last year after they were paired up together while taking a group class. During the workout, my wife had no clue who she was, but after the class they chatted a bit. I remember when my wife got home she told me I met someone who does TV for ESPN and she played basketball back in college. Small world.
And yet at the end of GameDay today, all were asked which team they'd pick to win it all, Seth said Kentucky. Bilas said Purdue. Carter and Williams picked the good guys.Seth friggin' loves UConn and Hurley. Dude is always our biggest cheerleader these days.
Clingan helps so much but the rest of the team was just super locked in the other night on defense. Newton’s defense against creighton was the best of his season.I'd like to have Bilas ask McDermott if he thinks we're an elite defense.
Once Clingan is up to 25-28 minutes a game, we'll out defend anyone in college hoops.
Nothing we didn't already know.
But the only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about. All publicity is good publicity.
Let’s do it again today fellas. When Hurley said in a press conference “they’ll have to pry it from our lifeless body” the kids aren’t going to give it up easily. Hurley has them all bought in.I'd like to have Bilas ask McDermott if he thinks we're an elite defense.

Yeah but we only won last year because we were lucky (again)

It's sickening how pathetic these broadcasters are.Soon after that Seth Greenberg waxed and waxed all over Kentucky and predicted them to win the natty.
