Basketball 20-21

from the athletic cbb mid season review:


Underachieving
1. Arizona State (4-7, 1-4 Pac-12).The Sun Devils entered the season with their highest preseason ranking (18) in 12 years, but they’ve lost five games in a row and are in next-to-last place in the Pac-12.

2. LSU (10-4, 5-3 SEC). The Tigers can really score, but they are really, really bad on defense, which is why they have beaten just one top-50 KenPom team and got dominated by a struggling Kentucky team on Saturday.

3. Duke (5-5, 3-3 ACC). The lack of a normal summer and preseason has hurt young teams such as Duke, and the three-game injury to 6-9 freshman forward Jalen Johnson didn’t help. But it’s the end of January and this team full of McDonald’s All-Americans still doesn’t have a quality win.

4. Michigan State (8-4, 2-4 Big Ten). We knew the Spartans would have a tough time replacing Cassius Winston. We just didn’t know it would be this tough.

5. Rutgers (8-6, 4-6 Big Ten). The Scarlet Knights have had a couple of injuries, but not enough to explain a recent five-game losing streak that was finally snapped on Sunday, has them in ninth place in the Big Ten and very much in danger of missing out on the NCAA Tournament.

 

For the same reasons. But both are good teams who will get deadly good as they go.

 

pre AtM press conf

i was hoping he would more directly address cam thomas, maybe say he told em to pass the ball a little. realize he is allowed to take a shot that isnt impossible

 

lsu a 5 point favorite at TAMU, will win by 11

 

Damn you

 

i expect a win, thats a given. a couple things i would like to see:

a drive and dish for an easy basket

a guy passes up a shot for a teammate with a slightly better shot

a season high in assists for thomas

10 minutes plus for o'neal, and 5 points, one 3, and one dunk off a dish.

if all these happen i will describe the game as a rousing success and praise wade for his progress. next stop final four, bitches

BOOT UP

 

Would that be one?

 

i actually dont know but its not many, thats for dang sure

 

We better play better in all phases of the game than we did against Bama & UK or we're in for a major ass whipping.

 

hey now, will wade in the pregame interview is saying josh gray is ready for some minutes. that would be fun. that ninja is big
