Week of 11/20 Other Games

[Tyler2Rings]

Not sure they go .500. Cuse has been ranked a total of 10 weeks the past 10 years. 3 of those instances were preseason, and they dropped out shortly after. A total of one week ranked after November in the past 10 years. Trash program. Not sure about the veracity but a Cuse poster said 100 different teams have been ranked since the last time they have been ranked.

Beautiful post. Idc if we've lapped them several times, this makes me happy

The last tidbit makes less than no sense but if a Cuse fan claims it’s true, sure!

I don’t think a lot of normie CBB fans realize how long they have been incredibly mediocre because they had a few nice fluke runs.

They aren't even gritty or plucky anymore usually.

I just don’t see it with Purdue…

Maybe I’m missing something.

I don’t think I’ve seen them hit that next gear I’ve seen UConn hit

Watching Purdue for the first time this year, the guard play around Edey still looks iffy imo

Edey is an incredible college player. But replace him w/ a league average C and they are what, like a 9/10 seed? Obviously that isn’t how the sport works but I don’t think their complementary players are good/consistent enough to win it all.

 

[EROCK CONN]

I don’t think either Purdue or Tenn look good.

Yup. It's why I picked them as the first high seed to go out last year.

This game is painful to watch. Both look really sloppy.

 

[AntG168]

Tennessee is small

 

[bluestreak]

Sure doesn't look like a 2 v 7 kind of game.

 

[superjohn]

Both of these teams are overrated every year.

 

[AntG168]

Texas and UConn looked better than both of these teams yesterday. And neither were at full strength

 

[Scot-e]

This game is like watching paint dry.

 

[HCCForever]

This game is painful to watch. Both look really sloppy.

And late in the first half, Purdue had only 2 scorers. Edey + 1.

 

[REB1094]

Real physical game. Lots of flopping and crying for calls

 

[HuskyHawk]

Smith looks like a pesky, crafty guard. Really seems to have a feel for the game. Hard for anybody to look good on offense with this festival of fouls.

 

[Ricker]

I'm keeping my eye on 6'11 JP Estrella for TN who is not an impact player at the moment. I have no idea if there is a remote chance he enters the portal in a future year, but there is some UConn connections. He is from Maine, and was Solo Ball's roommate at Brewster. His mom, (that I've met), was on a women's BC team that beat the UConn women once back in the day. She is great friends with Shea Ralph and follows UConn women closely. Wouldn't be a stretch to become involved if the opportunity ever arose.

 

[superjohn]

Both these teams play like Big 10 teams, that's not a good thing.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

This is just absolutely HORRIBLE basketball on display.

 

[REB1094]

This game is a foul fest. Really not fun to watch at all tbh

 

[aceboon]

#2 vs #7 used to look a whole lot different than this when I was growing up

 

[Ricker]

only 3 bench points for Purdue, all from FT. NO baskets Can't win championships like that.

 

[bluestreak]

This is just absolutely HORRIBLE basketball on display.

With Officiating to match.

Zebras doing their best to have Purdue move on
