Clemson gonna beat Penn State -- up by 6 with no time left. 

After PSU misses on its last possession, Clemson has a runout and Hunter goes for the dunk and gets absolutely clobbered at the buzzer. Nits get an intentional foul with no time left. 

 Kind of a stupid play on both ends. If you're Clemson -- just run out the clock. If you're PSU -- just let the kid go.

So I guess I haven’t watched much UCONN the past few years other than in the tourney. So maybe just didn’t realize this until now. But Hurley might be the most annoying whiner of a coach I’ve ever seen, and that includes Izzo, who I despised when he was young enough to matter and not washed up and hanging onto the program too long purely for his own ego. But goodness. Hurley relentlessly berates refs and gets about as much airtime from the camera as his team. I’m shocked he didn’t get tossed from both games in this Maui tournament. Great success the last two years sure, but he’s not someone I respect after watching him on the sidelines. And the announcers glorifying him because they’ve won titles as a “ferocious competitor” etc. Just looks like a whiny ****** to this observer.

Great coach but he’s a massive ******. I think it’s a persona more than anything but his schtick is getting old. Think it goes without being said, but this year’s version of UConn is nowhere near as good or talented as the last two.

Definitely not as talented but still talented enough to be top 5ish. Honestly, one of the things that impressed me about mcneely was how little they get him the ball and he still contributes. I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes and they start to look for him more.

Tyrese Hunter on Memphis is legit. They’re going to be good this year

They have to be talented because they aren’t going to win any games with coaching. Their offense is painful outside of the individual performances.

He is. And he’s either improved his shooting a bunch from what I recall of him  or he’s on 1 hell of a heater. Side note: MSU’s bigs are a problem. Kohler’s got a chance to help, but Zapala and Booker ain’t stressing anybody.

Some of you may be watching Maui, some you may watch Duke/Kansas, I'm watching Matt Painter's nightmare.

St Peter's at Fairieigh Dickinson

Hey its only a 1 pt game with 6 minutes left in an "arena" that wouldn't make your HS gym jealous.

[LamarCheeks]

When you have to pick between Duke and Kansas, then the terrorists have won.

The ending, even small conference ball delivering. Ignore the time on the screen, it counted.

Fraschilla goes on a 60 sec rant about how Cooper Flagg needs to be taking the ball to the rim as the producers are showing clips of him turning the ball over 3 times by driving into traffic. Don’t know how much Fran makes but I could give analysis of that value for a fraction of the cost.

I read a lot of posts that said Bidunga was a project but he looks pretty damn good tonight against Duke.

[Home Jersey]

Bidunga has looked better than I thought he would’ve just based on what I’ve read here, having not actually watched him in HS. Queen looks like something special though. And thank goodness we didn’t end up with Xavier Booker.

Hunter Dickinson nearly air balled a dunk.

Holy crap … is that St. Peter’s vs Farleigh Dickinson?

The answer is “teams that beat Purdump in the NCAAs for $200, Alex.”

[DChoosier]

It’s interesting watching a Duke game without coach K’s influence over the refs.

Hunter D clearly hook and holds but the foul is called on Duke..LOL

Duke nails a 3 at the end of the half and the shooter is clearly knocked down but no-call.

That’s a 4-5 point swing in just 90 seconds because Duke doesn’t have K giving the refs instructions through their ear buds.

Iowa St’s jersey logos look like some cheap summer work league jersey. Are these new or have I just not noticed before?

[Hovadipo]

One of my favorite ongoing CBB traditions is Houston going after rebounds as if they’re personally insulted that the opponent would even consider trying to get one. 

Long live the lid-on-the-rim scrimmages. 

[Hoosier DaDa]

It was so strange that they allowed Dickinson sit on the bench that long. I’m like that big ****** bag out of there and kick them off the court.

[Hardwood83]

Who looks worse in the last 24hrs- Hunter Dickinson or Dan Hurley?
