Mexal Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 VCU is a frustrating team to watch. So good for so long then they just take bad shot after bad shot. Happened Friday against Duke (went 2-12 during a big Duke run) and now again here against Wisconsin (1-11). Loads of potential, just needs to stop fouling (or being called for fouls) and start making some free throws.Only has themselves to blame for losing. Can't shoot 58% from free throw line nor 42% overall. Shouldn't have been close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yeah, went cold at a bad time but still had a chance to win at the end. Think they could have gotten a better look there.Regardless, looks like you have a good continuation of coaching. Still playing that high paced style. Looks promising IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 This guy Ben Simmons is fantastic. Exhilirating player and should be a clear no.1 pick.Last year there was some more doubt as to who was the best, and as the season progressed Towns passed Okafor and Mudiay as Mudiay had gone abroad. Lakers probably didn't pick the right guy at #2 but that is a different discussion. Ben Simmons though, he has the look of a future star the way Wiggins had as well, and Wiggins is doing very well.

I think he and Jamal Murray will make the best pros out of this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 New polls are out and UK has ascended to the top of both where they rightly belong. Of interest is the coach's poll where Duke was number 4 last week and number 3 this week. Only Duke can manage to get essentially blown out on national TV and manage to rise in the polls. UNC dropped from 1 to 9 in the AP poll, that was a pretty surprising drop. Michigan State as expected was the biggest riser of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Was hoping GW would make the poll after the 4-0 start that includes the big win over Virginia, but no such luck. They're really close behind Texas A&M though, so if they win their two games this week (including vs. Tennessee), I think they could make it in.As for Buffalo, they're looking better at 3-2 after a rough start to the season. They've got a brutal upcoming schedule though. After a break for this week, they've got 4 games in 9 days, including @ Duke on Dec. 5 and @ Iowa State on Dec. 7. Talk about a road trip.

Rhom Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Marquette 81 LSU 80: Simmons 21-20-7Simmons put Tigers up 80-79 but Marquette made 2 FT’s and Simmons didn’t take final shot.He looks like the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not into gambling... so someone may have to help me with this.So the line tonight is 8.5 for Kentucky at home versus Boston?!!?

Ded As Ned Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Isn't this normal? You've had the first or second best recruiting class for the last 8 years.I'm into gambling where money isn't involved. I've learned never to scoff at Vegas. Maybe it's a ratings ploy, because now I might stay up for the whole game lolETA: I'm meaning to quote the last Rhom post here, but the new forum is messing with me. And I can't figure out how to change (or even delete) the quote you are seeing. #slowlearner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedGhost Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Damn, our game is boring! I know UCLA isn't that good, but I thought they would be a bit more competitive than Chaminade.

The first time I spoiler tagged something, it didn't work properly, and it was so bad I just cleared it and start over completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they look pretty weak. The only thing exciting is that little Holiday is looking like a player. Not Jrue mind you, but a solid piece. I fear now that Kentucky will look at the Kansas game as some kind of benchmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperry Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 That is a really weird line. But the fact of the matter is Vegas knows there business. If you see a crazy line like that, it means that Vegas wants the public money to pour in on one side, and usually they're going to win. I'm not a big basketball better, but in football you see stuff like that all the time. Money pouring in on one side and the line not moving means red flags should be going up. A good example of this is when #3 Utah was 3.5 point dog at 3-3 USC earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, Chieck Diallo is free at last!I'm sure REG would have posted by now if he weren't in a shock induced coma where he dreams of basketball greatness.Makes the game with Vandy tonight much more interesting, that's for sure!

Rhom Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Ah... Diallo can't play until next week apparently. Bummer. Oh well.Vandy has looked good so far. Really good.Should be a good game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hallelujah! It's a Thanksgiving miracle! It's still bs that he cannot play tonight, but I don't really care that much as I want expecting him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
