Duke/UNC anyone?

[dickens821]

Duke wouldn't play us at cameron

We tried to set a home and home up with them. K refused. He didn't wanna come to Thompson-Boling.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Illinois was neutral.

The only true road game they played OOC was @Temple.

Arizona's meeting at the United Center threw me off for some reason. I forget Illiniois was apart of the Maui Invitational this year.

duke typically schedules tough ooc and this season was no different. how were they to know marquette, illinois and pitt would suck? my beef is that their conference is so terrible this season, that they will end up playing about 3 good teams all season and 2 of those are UNC.

 

[VolinArizona]

neutral Texas, neutral West Virginia, at Xavier, semi-at Gonzaga, neutral v Western Kentucky, UNC Asheville, are all tournament teams.

WKU is not #1 in their conference right now.

 

[volfanbill]

Duke wouldn't do it.

Duke went to Davidson and the game was moved to the Bobcats arena. They've also played in Greensboro against UNCG as recently as two years ago

I know that's why i brought it up...Pearl will find somebody else. To be the best, you have to beat the best.

Pitt only sucks due to injuries. They began suffering those injuries during the Duke game.

Duke always plays some good teams. They just seldom go to an opponent's gym OOC.

 

[BigPapaVol]

but 2 from the Sun Belt are making the tourney.

 

[dickens821]

WKU is not #1 in their conference right now.

They are tied at 10-1 with USA and will beat them at home. k:

We're going to Kansas next year.

They didn't go to Davidson. They played at the Bobcats arena. You just said it yourself.

South Alabama beat WKU already, so RIGHT NOW, which is what we're speaking, WKU is not a tournament team.

Remember that time you tried to tell people Drake is like Tennessee, but with midmajor players? And then remember when I pointed out that Drake plays one of the slowest tempos in the game and you never responded? Yeah, this is similar.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Speaking of the Illini, what has Bruce Weber accomplished without Bill Self? Without Bill pulling in all the talent, Illinois has taken a serious fall.

 

[UTvol1fn]

We're going to Kansas next year.

i didn't know that...let's make the trip. They are a very dangerous team this year...very solid

 

[BigPapaVol]

bill,

I agree on Pitt, but it's starting to look as bad as our UK loss

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

I know that's why i brought it up...Pearl will find somebody else. To be the best, you have to beat the best.

Adding UCLA, Kansas, and Marquette to the platter, Bruce isn't losing any sleep.

 

[volfanbill]

bill,

that's why intelligent people know that stats on paper are somewhat misleading.

 

[VolinArizona]

bill,

I respectfully disagree

I never saw that. But their tempo may not be similar, but their game is similar. They full court press a lot, shoot a lot of threes, run a motion type of offense. They spread the floor. You have to remember... Keno was an assistant under both Dr. Tom and Bruce.

But I'm sure you didn't realize that.:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

 

[BigPapaVol]

wku is going to be a tourney team, regardless of USA.

 

[UTvol1fn]

he know's what it takes....he has the largest marbles of anyone i know....

 

[dickens821]

:yes:

 

[VolinArizona]

wku is going to be a tourney team, regardless of USA.

It'll be a tossup on Selection Sunday if they don't win the Sun Belt.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Yeah, beating every opponent on the boards when you're healthy is a terrible indicator of a "can't rebound" team.
