Struggling for a good part of a game against UNC-Greensboro the other day for example....a team with no star tor two star players that should have been run off the floor by middle of the first half. Just suggesting that Cal is doing more recruiting than coaching....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think coach k could make that team a title contender and he's one of the best to ever do it. I think to be a game changer as a player you have to be able to do things that most can't do. Some type of quality. Players like green....I don't care what he was ranked, what does he do that is special? Now Morant for Murray st? He may not had been ranked high but he has good size for a PG. He has unreal athleticism and speed.....you have players like that...then you can x and o things to do as a coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,358 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) uat is tied with Georgia State with 1:30 to go. Thing about uat is GSU is killing them with the dribble drive, something AU doesn’t seem to have a good handle on.

It will be interesting to see where they go from here. It will show whether they care about basketball or not. Avery was the counter hire to Pearl and I thought at the time it was going to work, but uat’s offense looks like a Barbee coaches team. Do they hang on to Avery just to kill time until Rick Pitino is hireable again? Do they go get someone’s good assistant this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used him as an example of a big time name (flawed I know) that would make a splash in their program. I don't think he will actually ever be a college coach again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Loblaw 636 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Bama always shoots for the moon with b-ball coaches and then they get turned down. They thought they were getting Tom Izzo and then they hired Grant. They thought they were getting Greg Marshall and then they got Avery. I know they’ll throw cash at someone but I think they’ll wind up disappointed again. No way they hire Pitino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,884 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 In other noteworthy games last night... St. Peter's, a team AU beat by 50, stood toe-to-toe at Clemson last night in a back & forth game Clemson only won by 5. UAB only beat a 2-7 UNA team by 6 at home. Florida beat WVU in the Jimmy V Classic in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,454 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If the SEC doesn't pick it up, we will need to do really well in the SEC schedule. Gotta win those away games. I think we will. The next 4 OOC games will tell us alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,304 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 That was at Gonzaga as well. That Washington beatdown could end up looking really good for us at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conference doesn't need to be enhanced overall to get 7 teams in. AU, UK, UT, Miss St just need to do what they should do plus Arky, UF, & LSU just need to not have any bad noncon losses ahead & finish at or above .500 in the conference.

ellitor 33,884 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 In another notable game from last night SC lost at Wyoming who was 2-6 before the game & had a NET of 249. I'm glad we don't have to play SC 2 times so they don't bring our SOS down further. Once is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
