College Bball Thread

[IU/Butler/Notre Dame]

I thought Lewis would fire them up but ball state looks lackadaisical as ever ….slow on close outs …lots of 1 on 1 basketball forcing contested shots with little ball movement …..he inherited a bit of a mess other than sparks and sellers likely being keepers/studs  for the future

Is anybody really surprised

Archie Miller will be good in 3 years but until then… You know the drill. 

[Uspshoosier]

Grand Canyon up 1 at Nevada with 11:41 to go 

[rcbowla]

Yeah you have to be patient with Archie. His system takes at least 3 years to learn. So every player will get it by the time they are seniors. Trust the process

Best game going on right now is alcorn st/Wichita st.    Alcorn you 1 with 8 min to go 

[cbp4iu]

I don’t know if Wichita State will ever bounce back. Losing to Alcorn State. Marshall did wonders to that program… Crap hit the fan… I don’t think they’ll recover

I’m not.   The team was terrible before he arrived.  One of his key transfers is academically ineligible until 2 second semester old target Anthony Harris.   Texas St was looking good early.   Rhode Island going on a run now only down 4.   Great game between 2 evenly matched teams

Alcorn can’t miss.   Alcorn up 8 with 2:40 to go

Archie Miller was a terrible, awful fit for IU, but he’s a good guy and not a terrible coach.

He can succeed at Rhody; it probably fits him well.

Lousy. He’s no Trent Sisley.

But Louisville, who were up five with the ball with one minute left, just lost to Wright State on a buzzer beater. Oh Louisville, that was disappointing I bet.

Wow just watched the replay of the second half.   Brutal ending.    

 

[Uspshoosier]

Alcorn is going to win it

Archie’s best hope at success was to be Sean Miller.  Sean isn’t the best coach but Sean usually finds a lot of success in the dark arts of recruiting.  The FBI sting with Adidas happened at the absolute worst time to know if Archie was going to try the Sean Miller Method. Maybe he wasn’t.  He was certainly and plainly trying to secure the state and win with that method.  Purdue mostly uses that method to some degree of success (find bigs elsewhere). Butler over the years, the same.  Archie should have done better with what he had.  And/Or his eye for talent isn’t incredible either.

Maaaybe; I think that Sean is far more shady and far more charismatic than Archie.

Archie did great with lower ranked recruits at Dayton. His personality is not wired to be the face of a big program IMO.

[Uspshoosier]

All I care about is good basketball games and right now Rhode Island/Texas St is a good one.   Tie game 4 min to go

Indeed. He made it look natural.
