November 27, 20214 yr Author the battle of the top two freshmen in the country, and potentially the top two draft picks next June- a 7'1", 170 lb bean pole vs Mr."I Am 12". could be the first big match up in a career long rivalry between these two.
November 27, 20214 yr Surprised that wasn’t an And1. I bet Paolo wasn’t even carded at the Blackjack tables.
November 27, 20214 yr ZThose shots for Gonzaga were falling against UCLA. Tonight, not so much. Duke is like God’s Gift—they never foul.
November 27, 20214 yr Slow DuKE down by getting to the foul line. These two teams might be destined to end up in the Final Four...
November 27, 20214 yr Timme's struggles against size & athleticism will be a hurdle for him to get run in the NBA.
November 27, 20214 yr Author i want to see what Holmgren does in the second half after spending the majority of the 1H on the bench. they say he's the best prospect in years, and his size and skill are evident- but does he have that killer mentality that KD had as a freshman at Texas? you know that KD would come out of the locker room on a mission on this situation. now, Holmgren isn't the alpha male of his team like KD was, but i still want to see that fire, that desire to take over the game after having been forced to sit and watch the Paolo Banchero show for the entire first half.

November 27, 20214 yr He doesn't really remind me of KD at all. Not saying he won't be a good player but I just don't get that comp.
November 27, 20214 yr This Banchero dude seems like a sure fire bet if I’m an NBA gm. He has essentially the same skill set as Holmgren but with an additional 80lbs. I like Holmgren, but there is a real possibility he’s too frail to live up to his potential in the big leagues.

He looks as ashy as KD, I’ll give him that.

November 27, 20214 yr Zags have to feel good only being down 3 with Timme not being much of a factor.
November 27, 20214 yr Just now, PittsburghTiger said: i didn't see much of a foul there on Timme Agree... These teams can really play -- love their offensive movement and passing
November 27, 20214 yr Just now, Underdog said: Clean block. Refs are overreacting -- wish college basketball would go to 6 personal fouls like NBA to compensate for poor officials.
November 27, 20214 yr Just now, El Diablo said: I just hate to see a Duke player get called on a non-foul. /sarcasm Especially in Coach K's final year when you know they're going to be battling the refs all season.
November 27, 20214 yr yeah, no foul on that block. it just seems too often the refs anticipate a foul.
November 27, 20214 yr Just now, LTtxfan said: wish college basketball would go to 6 personal fouls like NBA to compensate for poor officials. It's fucking absurd that they haven't yet. The best players in the NBA and in college play the same amount per game.
November 27, 20214 yr I guess when you have a team full of shooters you don't care much about defense, you just run the floor and let the guys hoop it up.
November 27, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, CheesePie said: Both of these teams are polished Unbelievable early season CBB for sure. Amazing what great coaching does for a basketball team -- really glad Beard is at TEXAS now...
November 27, 20214 yr Author same ref who made the phantom call on Timme made the terrible call on the Williams block.
November 27, 20214 yr oh shit, all season we are going to get these awkward going away messages from coaches to Coach K.
November 27, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, shadow_operative said: same ref who made the phantom call on Timme made the terrible call on the Williams block. One more strike and Mr. Ref
November 27, 20214 yr DuKE is definitely tired -- turning the ball over a lot more. Holmgren is a "Spider Freak"
November 27, 20214 yr Author Banchero going out has definitely turned the tide. of course as soon as i type that Timme goes ahead and makes a bonehead foul that gets him sent to the bench.
