I don't mind that win at all. Been saying for several years there are more good basketball players on lesser teams. That's why I love the sport. If you can dribble, shoot and know spacing with some picks, you can play with anyone, especially when you can't miss. There continue to be more and more lesser known teams with good ball coaches and players.
Better than an L for sure.

Excellent post and I agree.

No one will even remember the score of this game later in the season. Especially if we make the tourney.

One thing I've noticed is that we start out the first half really flat in shooting. Past two games first half shooting percentages have been AWFUL. I don't know what it is that causes it, but it has to be fixed soon.

Cuonzo mentioned this on his post game show

I hope we get to play Xavier again in the B4A tournament .

Too soon to tell. Iowa was a borderline top 25 preseason team, it depends on how good you think xavier will be.

IMO id rather get revenge on Xavier and show that we have improved over that loss, but jmo.

At what pace will you be drinking, fast pace?

If Iowa is a potential top 25 team I would have to choose them. Xavier isn't going to be a top 25 team IMO

My tab is going over 130

Either you're drinking good stuff or a whole lot

We better be practicing attacking a zone defense , I think we are gonna see a lot of it going forward

This post has been true for the last decade.

All you can ask. early in the season. Learn and move on.

You're impressed with this win? CM can't crush this team there is a problem.

Posts like this makes me laugh. Really shows you have no understanding of the college game. Not every game against a mid major will be a route, look around at the NCAA scores in the past week if you need proof.

Saw quite a bit tonight, thought we did well.

Haha 2nd game of the season. Am I completely please no? This team isn't a scrub. Let it go

 

[FleeceItOut]

Uhm no?

We hit free throws in both half, they scored 42 the first half and 23 the second half.

I'm talking about the difference in winning and losing. Had they shot free throws like they did against Xavier the outcome may have not been in their favor.

Oh ok. The post of mine you quoted was referring to the difference in both halfs of our game against Upstate, not the difference between Upstate and Xavier.

Are you drunk? We didn't have a random substitution pattern this game.. Completely irrelevant comment.

Dang, I got called out for making an uninformed comment.

Confession: I didn't watch or listen to the game. I just figured the same garbage continued from Xavier. Apologies to the board for running off at the mouth.
