Uspshoosier Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 For those that haven’t watched San Diego St play you guys will like what you see during Championship week and first week of the tourney. Easily one of the top teams I’ve watched this year. They are up 14 at half at Boise St Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners BGVille Hoosierfan 1 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Bouknight has scored the last 5 for UConn. UConn up 5 with 2:35. He has gotten significantly better of the course of the year. He is figuring it out Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

They would be more like a 4-5 seed if they played in a P5 conference JerryYeagley23 1 Quote

But, how impressed should we be by a team beating Boise St. by 14 really? Who is Boise’s best win? Because all I know about them is that Oregon beat them by 31 and they lost by double digits to Georgia Tech. It seems like Nebraska or Minnesota would be winning by 14 at Boise St. I know you and others have said SDSU is legit, and would be competitive in the B1G, but it’s hard for me to respect their 20 wins in a conference that is a combined 0-21 against AP teams.

That fine all I can say is by the teams I have seen all year despite who they have played they are one of the top teams I’ve seen. I watched them smash Creighton on a neutral court and Creighton is 2nd in the Big East. You don’t have to be impressed with them winning at Boise St I’m just giving my opinion on them for the whole year not just this game Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app woodenshoemanHoosierfan and thebigweave 2 Quote

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 It’s kind of sad how often you move the goal posts. You claimed Kaminsky was failure. And only got paid because of poor drafting. Specifically you said he only got paid 5 million a year because of it. But that’s his second contract he makes 5 million a year on. So has nothing to do with good or bad drafting. He’s now made 22 million or so playing basketball. Joe it’s a sign of great maturity to just admit your hot take was wrong. He is a bust and many consider him to be one and just another terrible pick by Jordan. There’s a reason Charlotte let him walk after 4 years. How much money you make doesn’t change whether you’re a bust or not. Garza wouldn’t be considered a bust because 2nd founders never are. But if you’re a GM and you’re drafting him in the 2nd round, you’ve likely made a lot of terrible decisions and probably work for Phoenix or New York.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Moving them goal posts again. That’s moving any goalposts. Kaminsky is a bust. He’s failed to live up to the hype he had. So why would anyone go grab a guy who isn’t as good?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Ohio State is now ranked #25 after winning 5 of their last 6. They seem to have righted the ship there. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners MikeRoberts and southsidehoosier 2 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Very interesting. One of the two coaches from the 2018 NCAA title game already bolted to the NBA -- and reportedly is ready to quit. Will the winner of that game be the next to test the waters? If Jay Wright wants to give the Association a try, fine. But if I were him, I'd stay far, far away from the Knicks. That franchise is a mess. Quote

Sent from my SM-G960U using TapatalkWhich is exactly why I said, as a GM I’d take Jalen Smith in first round and Garza in the 2nd. 2nd round picks rarely stick, give me a Garza all day over someone with potential athleticism that doesn’t know how to play the game. Garza can do everything offensively. Defense is certainly an issue. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app lillurk 1 Quote

The 2nd round now is for kids with potential who may not see it yet and foreigners who will never play in the NBA. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile appHe just fits well overseas. No way he could keep up defensively. And unless you’re James Harden or Kyrie Irving, you gotta play a little defense. Nikola Jokic might be his best comparison and Jokic was a 2nd rounder as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
