Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Has anyone seen a clip of the steal and 3 by Zeigler? The broadcast was showing the crowd reaction to the Okpara put-back dunk and then cut back to play as ZZ was shooting. I still don’t know how the steal happened.
Not sure if I can find it but they showed a baseline replay during the game. Lanier tipped a sloppy pass and ZZ came up with the loose ball to hit the 3.
 
If Bama shoots like the did in the sweet 16, no one is beating them
I feel like this has been said for Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee at different moments this season. And now Duke as well. Those 5 teams look unstoppable when firing on all cylinders and great but mortal when not.

That said I don’t think any team can rely on shooting that well. Basketball has its zone moments when you know you can do no wrong bu those moments don’t tend to be predictable.
 
Guys have zero depth perception in this dumb*ss football stadium.

Playing these games in a football stadium is a disservice to literally everyone involved.
I don’t like the basketball court in a football stadium but I can’t figure out how it could possibly affect their depth perception. There are fans behind the basket just like in a basketball arena.

Not bashing you, just trying to understand why you stated that.

The game last night was my favorite of the year. We dominated without being hot from 3. Every hot shooting team has off nights, but you don't have off nights if you win by dominating the paint and the boards.

I agree I would never want to lean on shooting at that kind of clip.

First you have to figure out Houston. That to me comes down to who makes their shots and who wants it more. Flip a coin i just don't see a ton to discuss on this one. It will be a war.

Matchup wise I dislike Florida and Duke the most. We could possibly get Duke in foul trouble. They flirt with that a lot. I think I'd give Flagg his and focus on taking out the perimeter shooters. I think the 2 for 3's strategy worked well against a long KY team. UF we just have to get off to a better start. Chasing that team is similar to KY chasing us. They are too good defensively, and we don't score easily in bunches. We can, but it is not our strength. UF rarely has droughts. It needs to be a lot more like TT Ole Miss.

Really that game felt a bit odd because you couldn’t figure out where the lead came from to begin with but it was driving the paint for several 3 point plays. We got our 3 pointers just not from the 3 point line. And the added bonus is that those come with fouls on the opponent.
