NCAA Basketball Regular Season Thread

Just finished watching the first half. It's a shame Sam Thompson and Aaron Craft aren't that good on offense, specifically Thompson because they are tenacious defenders.

That Thompson kid can jump. Aaron Craft sucks though. He missed the rim on at least four shots tonight

 

[Sabbath]

Umm, what? They played Duke tight the entire game, even led during most of it and their best player was parked on the bench for 10 minutes in the first half.

Other than Evan Ravenel, the team is full insane, high upside athletes. They're only going to get better.

Dude, they are not the fourth best team in the country. Maybe in the Big 10. You guys got inconsistent players in Craft and Thomas. Lenzelle Smith is decent and Thompson isn't that good.

 

[elcheato]

There is nothing inconsistent about DeShaun Thomas, except for occasionally his outside shot, but he has a post game which he can go to when that happens, which is why he's probably the best scorer in the nation.

If they develop another scorer (They have one being underused on the bench), they'll be fine.

Acting like OSU is overrated just after they lost by 5 on the road at a place where no one wins to arguably the best team in the country is hilarious.

 

[Sabbath]

I'm not saying they are overrated cuz they lost, I'm saying it is my personal opinion that they are not skilled enough to be the fourth best team in the country. It has little to do with the loss to Duke. I will give you Deshaun Thomas being more consistent so far this year, but come Big 10 time and tourney time Ohio St. will be lucky to be top 3 in the conference.

 

[elcheato]

I'm fairly confident OSU is at least the 3rd best team in the Big 10, and being 3rd in the big 10 this year is good for a top 10 ranking.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

1. Indiana
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State?

Idk who else could take that spot...

 

[Sabbath]

We'll see how it plays out but I like Illinois a lot right now. Michigan St. has always got that chance and Minnesota has a deep team of talented players. I'd give those teams a shot to take that 3 spot.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Minnesota is pretty good, you're right. I like them a lot this year.

Ben is a STAR

 

[Elite]

Ben is a STAR

How high you think he goes in the draft?

 

[The Young One]

Top 10..2nd SG drafted after Shabazz

Larry Brown said last year during our practices that he's a Russell Westbrook type of athletic freak. That's extremely high praise.

 

[RipCity32]

Finally got to see Michigan play more than a couple minutes today. So fun to watch em lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Duke with (another) great win yesterday. We really should be #1...

 

[RipCity32]

Unless Indiana loses, it is not gonna happen lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

It should though. Indiana has beaten no one of note. Duke clearly has the most impressive resume by a mile.

[Big Bid'Ness]

Damn lmao

 

[Pugz]

wtf was that? lmaoooo

 

[elcheato]

With Illinois emerging, the Big 10 is scary good this year.
