@Crimsonorblue22 yeah. Hank Gathers...after he died, their NCAA performance that year:
First Round New Mexico State W 111-92
Second Round Alabama W 149-115
Sweet Sixteen Alabama W 62-60
Elite Eight UNLV L 101–131
Some crazy offense played in that time period.
@Crimsonorblue22 The way they were shooting/playing reminded me of Loyola Marymount 89/90 if they had been hitting a better %:
The 1990 squad (Loyola-Marymount) was also the highest scoring team in NCAA Division I history with an average of 139 points per game.[2]
ISUshooting 50% from the field
OU @ 13:50 mark in the 2nd half has taken 23 3 pointers. Only hitting 30% and down 1. ISU only shot 11 3pt's @ 45%.
@DinarHawk Not like I was watching in the first half of the OU/ISUgame. These teams were jacking up the first available open or semi-open look. Then it comes down to whether they are connecting or not.
Don't get me wrong, I think we can play like this, we just gotta be ready.
C5 Comp:
Mick - 2/3 & 3/4 for 7 points 6 RB, 1 Asst, 1 Steal, 3 Blks. 1 TO, 4 PF
Bragg-2/4 & 1/2 for 6 points, 3 RB, 0 Asst, 0 Steal, 0 blks, 0 TO, 1 PF
Diallo-2/4 & 0/0 for 4 points, 2 RB, 0 asst. 0 Steal, 1 Blk, 0 TO, 1 PF
Lucas-1/1 &0/0 for 2 points, 2 RB, 0 asst, 1 steal, 0 blk. 2 TO, 2 PF
JTray-0/0 &0/0 for 0 points, 0 RB, 2 asst. 0 steal, 1 blk, 0 TO. 4 PF
There folks should be your big man rotation for now with exceptions for specific matchups or until #2/#3 options begin to grow towards their ceilings.
Niang running point, bringing the ball up
@cragarhawk I believe someone pushed us early in the year....but we've been better since then, but this has been relentless in this game.
I think I saw the shot clock hit 10 once.
@KUSTEVE If we're ready for it. They're playing faster than us though, pushing at nearly every opportunity.
OU-ISU game reminds me of the Loyola Marymount, OU, UNLV (?) offenses of the late 80's.
@KUSTEVE This is run and gun like nobody's business...
We're going to have to be back on defense or they'll outrun us.
This OU-ISU game seems like the OU style of play under Tubbs back in the run and gun period.
@wissoxfan83 I was on campus from 82-86 as a student. BBall wasn't gaining momentum until 85 or 86 under Brown...or I was just out of touch.
I think Late Night started around that time as a marketing tool to gain more interest.
'86 it was rocking though, a dream slightly deferred until '88.
@pa_grape I'm guessing Gathers is more athletic than Ndiaye and not as good a match up for LL
58% 3 pt shooting tonight. Looked like we'd dropped from 3rd nationally to 4th with the last couple games, but tonight should have helped.
@KUSTEVE yes. I'd like to see the stats on time BU has played M2M. I'll bet today's game was an outlier for them!
3 Pt shooting. Not fools gold.
@Lulufulu I thought the same as I watched the tail end of that game.
@KUSTEVE We shot great, but when you get to 100 points, you're playing fast. I think that is what so many of us were worried about, that Self would try to push us into back to the basket, high - low offense when we don't have the personnel down low to execute in that style.
19 3 pt's played to our strength and it helped that we hit them. Hit a couple late of course, but, from what I saw (thanks CBS) we destroyed their zone with our ball movement and outside shooting. Think we were at 75% 3 pt shooting while they were in the zone. That played to our strength. What I couldn't tell (thanks CBS) was if it was due to inside-out or some other form of ball movement that got us there.
I like that he had Mickelson back in there late in the 2nd and we seemed to flow again a little smoother. Then mop up with an incredible bench of Diallo/Bragg/Vick.
@KUSTEVE If you don't have a detractor you're either dead or not doing anything.
11/19 from 3 pt %
better than 53.7% FG
@KUSTEVE which was maybe one person.
BENCH at end of game...Diallo, Bragg, Vick
STRONG
102
Ch\eick upside!
@wissoxfan83 Coached by Drew
@HawkInMizery yes
Liking Greene's play, can we leave leave the complaints about defense behind?
Realize there will still be gaps and miscues but...
89 points with 3 minutes left...gotta love that.
Ellis/Mickelson 6 RB each
Then Mason with 5, gotta love that.
Seldon 24
Ellis 17
Graham 12
Mason 11
Mickelson/Greene 7
We're shooting better from 3 than from the field in general.

BG has made one 3 since the Montana game.
Seems to be passing up the 3 for drives more.
But there you go!
BG swatted at the ball, but seemed to miss everything but was called.

Traylor measured him.
I'm fine with playing lots of people today. rest up and get ready for OU on Monday!
@DinarHawk said:
Hunter playing great. Glad Self is finally playing him.
He still makes mistakes here and there, but things seem to happen when he's in.
Didn't see the repay...but live, looked like a block by HM there.
Hunter strong reb in traffic
Stats:
50% FG v 42.6%
57.1% 3pt% v 33%
11 v 22 FTA
29 v 30 RB
6 steals & 5 TO's v 2 & 10
Assists 17 v 6
@DCHawker He plays weak on D often.
Mickelson tip
So Traylor / Lucas in now...the offense is one of 5 it seems. Is that what Bill wants? Is that due to the presence we have in the middle?
BU played any zone this half?
BU with a +3 edge on O RB's as well.
@tundrahok ESPN does too now.
Mason!
Perry/Hunter inside good ball movement on the interior.
BU in man out of the gate in the 2nd.
@DinarHawk One thing I'm not sure of is the BU change from zone to man defense as well.
Finally a good close out to a half.
Way to go Devonte Graham!
All our stats are moving towards the mean with the lineups playing late in the 1st and now that Baylor has changed to a man defense.
