The left coast thing is funny to me too, this southerner/midwestener likes California. In and Out is overrated though.
....I'm originally from Sacramento. I can call him anything left coast-related that I want. SmokinSmile
At least you ****s don't have the same argument in every thread....b/c it def hasn't ran its course.
I don't know how good they will be. Time will tell. It was an exhibition.
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of examples of coaches doing the same thing to later break through. Or so I've been told, lol.
Your rustle is like fine wine, my little fast food, sacqueen savant! Love you boo boo!
They give it up a lot easier. We don’t have to work as hard for it either. jumpingsmile
Whatever you say burger boy.You would be from Sac, queen.
Now that's rich lol coming from a queen that lives in San Fran....
IU getting ready to tip-off vs D2 Southern Indiana. Missing 3 guys tonight: Green, Thompson and Hunter. USI is normally among D2's better teams. I attended college there, so its neat to see this game.
I tried to watch it but it was on that + deal. Seeing as I already pay almost 200 for DTV I'm just not paying anymore to watch some exhibitions.
IU won 96-62 vs D2 Southern Indiana. Three of top four scorers were freshman; Anderson 14, Phinisee and Langford with 13. First half, we were really good defensively. Awful offensively. Second half, just the opposite. Had a few guys out, but nothing of real significance; Green, Hunter and Thompson. Green is a projected started. Hunter a Top 50, 4*. Phinisee, frosh PG, played 28 minutes with no turnovers. That is such an upgrade. But hey, its one thing to do so vs a D2 opponent. A whole other vs better competition. But still...really good to see. Langford had his moments. Had two early steals, one leading to a dunk. He was very active defensively; 5 steals. Rebounded well, which is no surprise. He was also his HS all-time leading rebounder. SHot selection is something he'll need to improve on. Also, has a tendency to throw some lazy, soft passes. Twice they were picked off,. Can't do that at this level. Anderson, another 4*, was 4-5 from three.
A lot of good. A lot bad, too. But for an exhibition , it went well.
UNC plays MT Olive tonight. Our freshman, and sophs need all the reps they can get...cause we got Wofford coming up on Tuesday.
Went to the game Kansas putted around in the first half. Self played a ton of guys. Started a different rotation. Only had 35 at half. Played more aggressively in the 2nd. Can’t remember the final score. 30-40 pt win. Didn’t look like #1. No alpha. Lots of “ meadurables talent. KJ Lawson shouldn’t play. Looks the part but sooo slow footed and looks like the prototypical me first perimeter hoverer that’s out their to shoot and do zero of the things that make you an asset.
Has Roy ever said why he prefers to schedule road games against low majors? Is it just to get them some road experience?
Without KJ there's no Dedric though. Take the good with the bad, I guess.
He has connections to many of them. The Elon coach asked if they would come help open their new building and he knows the Wofford coach so wants to help him out. Hopefully not help him out as much s last year though, lol.
Also, he likes to get his upperclassmen a game close to their home so sometimes it is for that reason.
Ahhhh, all good reasons! That is pretty cool. Yes, getting upperclassmen games near their hometowns when possible so their fam and friends can see them play is awesome! You're right, Roy was a little too generous to Wofford last year. I am surprised they are still friends. Laughing
Roy also likes his players battle tested, so he'll play anyone... anywhere.
I think it's cool watching the Heels play in a smaller venue on the road.

That northern Iowa game was ballsy too. Northern Iowa has been pretty good, like one of the best mid majors in the country, for the last decade now.
Allen Edwards is coaching Wyoming. Would be cool to give them a home and home.
Despite the fact we lost, I enjoyed the Robert Morris game. How often do you get to see a program like Kentucky play a true road game in a 3000 seat gym against a team like Robert Morris. That was one of the best road atmospheres we’ve played in since I’ve been watching.
It's fun, and once in a while you lose a game like that. It's almost worth a loss to experience that atmosphere...well
I believe we lost @ St Mary's in 09, but cut down the nets in April, so no big deal
I had forgotten all about Belmont. Better to lose those games early in regular season though. They don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. It's not like losing to Mercer or Lehigh in the tourney or something crazy like that.
Kentucky looks like a different team from the one in the Bahamas. Weird cuz anyone that’s seen them in practice has raved.
IUP is supposed to be a good D2 team. But I would think/hope a legit title contender wouldn’t be struggling like this.
