PU is a one trick pony. Interested to see what Hurley does over the half to adjust.
SC beat Iowa / Clark with a game plan for her. UCONN is so clearly the better team, let’s see what you got Hurley

Yup

And to your previous comment, the SH staff and players did a good job using that to their advantage using their size and athleticism to punish ISU in the paint.

Best NIT game I’ve seen in a long time. Very fun. I’m jealous of all you guys that went in person.

You do realize that over 99% of all division 1 teams lose their last game of the season?
Indiana State didn’t lose because of any ‘analytics’ reason. They lost because they had 77 points and Seton Hall had 79 at the end of the game.

Watching him tonight against the Rockets- he’s having a huge game, was 8-8 for 20, career high, just missed his first shot of the night in the 4th after leading the break.
His future with GS is bright. Looking very much at home out there, running really well with Steph and Klay. Announcers giving him lots of love and talking about his IU career and his IU records. Special player, fun to watch him take off in the League.

Pain.
Hinkle is alright overall, but astonishingly loud. My word.

I was at the game. If any of those last 3 three-point shots had gone in, there definitely would've been a court storming.

Both respectable coaches.

That 3 attempt up 77-70 with 16 left on the shot clock turned the tide. Not saying they couldnt or shouldn’t have overcame it, but I had the feeling as soon as he clanked it, it might go that way as the basketball gods punishing a low IQ play.

Great run by a fun team. Shame they didn’t finish. But respect either way.

Can't really change who you are with 2min in the season left. Space and open 3's drive those offenses and the analytics don't really tell you to pass up open 3's from good shooters. They were basically the same shots that put them up 7 with 3 to go.

That's not to say I disagree with you guys. My previous post made that clear I hope. But all those shot charts of Alabama that show literally only 3's and layups attempted don't happen by accident. It's what the players are taught to hunt all season.

Great game. Sad for the trees fans. Still a good story.

If it’s a foul in the first 5 seconds of a game it’s a foul the last 5 as well.

That's just it. Up with two min left, have to focus on good quality shots rather than the stats. Those missed threes early in the shot clock are killers. Coach needs to make that adjustment to his offense. I think a similar thing happened in the MVC tourney.

Swopes got fouled on his 2nd attempt. No surprise the refs decided to swallow their whistles. But he was tackled. So much for "giving shooters space to land."

I’m just messing around since he hasn’t played well but man this offense is so fun to watch.

These announcers seem to be pro-Big East and aren't afraid to show it
