College Bball Thread

[Uspshoosier]

Wisconsin still played incredibly slow but everything went through the two best players and they did more outside of the normal offense. More ISO’s and things. Same with Virginia. He gave more power to his 3 best players and let them take the reigns. I was surprised to see them win, but good for them. There is one that breaks the trend at times. And most tourney games are slower than the regular season.

He got together with Kirk Penny and came up with what they call the ball-screen continuity offense. “Flow continuity”. They run a ball-screen on one side of the floor with 3 shooters on the other side of the floor. . The actions in the offense, assuming Virginia cannot get a clean look from the initial ball-screen, lead them directly into another ball-screen on the opposite side of the floor. And so on and so forth. They also still used their blocker-mover offense as well. Auburn couldn’t stop it.

I hope Kansas gets the book thrown at them and pay dearly.

One of these cheating programs has to get theirs.  Preferably not the Auburn, Oklahoma State, Miami type programs.

Pittsburg State should be scared right now.  That's in Kansas, probably the closest the NCAA will get to KU.

UMKC is even closer to Lawrence, they're in deep trouble

True, I was thinking more along universities in Kansas though.  Who knows, the NCAA could hammer both to try and give the appearance of cracking down.

#75 Ryan Kalkbrenner a 7' center committed to Creighton.  PUke was recruiting him pretty hard I believe.

Just like after Manning won them a championship?  3 years of probation but didn’t lose their banner. Look out Whichita St.

You don’t see that every day these days. A 7’ that goes somewhere other than Purdue.

Wow.  That is a significant blow to their (PU's) recruiting hopes (at least the message board crowd).  It would seem they are down to only one target that they hoped to land (Dickinson).

Illinois was hard on him as well. Saw him once last year. Other than being built like a stick figure, there’s a lot to like with him. Range, aggressive rim protector, can really run. Glad he’s out of the conference.

He was a really good player. That’s sad news, gotta wonder the circumstances.

From what I have read. There is no reporting of circumstances yet.

Take the time to read this article from July 2012.  You'll be glad you did.  Emmett's relationship with The General and how hard he pushed himself.

Could take a bigger blow if Jaden Ivey decides to open it back up, as is being rumored.

Please elaborate if you can. I had not heard this.
