17 3pt attempts so far in the first half. More than we take in many games...

Has anybody on the team eve heard of driving the ball ? - What the hell is the deal when every time down someone wanting to jack a three ?
And, all quick shots early in the shot clock. Not running anything...

@BeddieKU23 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:
Guess Duke winning helps our resume lol
It's a push - we played and beat both...
@AsadZ said in The Artist Fomerly Known As 'Bubble Watch':
Will NCAA find a way to get UNC in after their win over VA?
Is that a rhetorical question... ;)
@cragarhawk said in What was that? "MOJO TRANSFER!":
I don't think I'm ready to anoint him Goat yet. Definitely best active coach. But. And I say this with the hope that he will stay longer than many think he will. CS could imo do things over the next 10-15 seasons that are somewhat unfathomable outside of John woodens consecutive NC streak. I honestly think he has adapted to what the game needs so well, and to what the kids need so well that he could pull off another 4-5 NC's in that time span. Hope I'm right and if so there won't be anymore need for Goat discussions. Lol
Definitely best active coach. And, do I believe he is one of the handful best ever. But, in the pantheon of GOAT, he's not there yet although is likely to end up on Mt. Rushmore. Others might weigh these differently, but I would posit that the key metrics are: national championships, wins, winning percentage, overall consistency, and conference titles - roughly in that order for me.
Who is he definitely or arguably behind as of now on some combination of these:
Wooden
K
Roy
Dean Smith
Calhoun
Rupp
Knight
Boeheim (not really)
In terms of consistency and conference dominance, HCBS is already arguably top of the mount. After next year, he should be in the top 10 of all time wins. Would need another ~8 years to get to 1000. He's near the top in winning percentage. With just the same level of consistent success for another 5 years, I think he passes all but Wooden, K and maybe Roy (who doesn't get nearly enough credit with his success at 2 programs and 3 NCs). One more NC is enough to pass Roy with everything else to his credit.
Will be 2 front ends. Make FTs and we win...

This is gonna be the LONGEST 3:25 that we have ee seen. - -a must taking care of the ball -- quality possessions
Actually have limited TOs this half. As you say, value every possession down the stretch...
JW struggling to score the ball, but he has 11 RBs...
Another 20% game from 3...
@DanR said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Come on Wilson, finish those
JW just does not drive into the defender's body. Always leaning away on the shot.
Difference is TCU's bench production....
Remarkable that Rice appears to have zero fundamental bball skills...
Pushing the ball up the court - minimizes Lampkin and other TCU bigs on both ends...
Miles and Baugh has 8 points total in the 1st half - 10 already this half...
@StLJhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Kj having a good game too
Well, expect for a couple of really bad "passes"...
@DanR said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Defensively, I'm not sure we can do much better than that half. Gotta keep that up and hit some shots. 2-10 from three still kind of stinks.
Agree. What makes me nervous is that Miles and Baugh combined have just 8 points on 3-13 shooting. Not sure it's realistic to expect that to continue...
@kjayhawks said in Bubble Watch:
I’m staring to dislike the net rankings, they have St Mary’s whom plays in a garbage conference ahead of us currently while they have 2 quad 1 wins and 3 total games. We have more of both in the last 10 days.
NET ranking places way too much emphasis on margin of victory...
Great finish to the half. Lucky, but will take it...
Have gone ice cold. But, also not getting anything near the rim...
28 of the 32 points from 2 Pokes...
Hawks playing pretty well on the offensive end. Have no answer right now for Boone in the post. Need to stay with the double team rather than immediately shading back to the out man. See if they can make longer distance shots...
@BeddieKU23 said in Bryce Thompson Career Game Part 2 Game Thread:
I'm sorry KJ YOU GOTTA REBOUND
Well, he does have 2 now, which is ahead of his game pace... ;)
All 5 starters have scored...
So, Duke hangs on to eke out a win at home against a 10-16 ND team...
@Jethro 43 - 18 at half. Hard to figure. Auburn lost last 3 games. Mizzou 7-26 from the field. Ofer from 3. Dominated on the boards. Weird...
All the "we goods" are based on what, exactly??? Not saying that we can't win this game, but is a win actually expected or likely? The line is the Hawks favored by 1.5 pts. Almost a pick-em...

Can Tech make it back to back win against top 15 opponents tonight. I yes the hell with the short horns!!
We're all Red Raiders tonight. Watching Miami pop UNC on their home court. Miami looks legit. UNC looks like a team headed to the NIT.
UNC now 0-9 in Quad 1 games. Yet, they are still in most brackets...
@AsadZ Unfortunately, did nothing to justify the start...
We've complained - rightfully - about our bench production. OU's has 0 points on 0-7 shooting...
I would like to see HCBS runs some plays for Gradey - maybe a double screen or two...
5-11 FTs, and 2 misses were front-ends...
2 points in the first 4+ minutes. 60 in the next 27 minutes...
4 Hawks in double figures...
Not a good look JW...
UGA is going to beat UK, so there is that...
Okay, didn't get a couple of fouls called, but we left 2 shooters wide open and settled for quick, not great shots on our end. Not the same defensive intensity to start the half...
We'll take it, but was that really what they drew up in the TO???
First 3...
Missing 2 straight front-ends doesn't help...
Have hit 9 of last 11 shots after 2-14 start. Many coming in transition...
JW now has 2 points in the last 55 minutes of game time..
Up to 30% shooting!
JW almost always leans away from the contact - reason he doesn't get calls...
This is some ugly s***.... Shots aren't close to going in...
@jayballer67 said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:
2-- 8 field goal % and 4 turnovers in the first 5 minutes of the game not gonna win you vey many games
2-11 and 5 TOs will make it even harder...
2 points in 4+ minutes. On a 20 pt pace....
@DanR said in Other games:
So does KU have control of their own destiny now or not? JK
Since ISU lost, the answer is yes. We control our own destiny to at least tie for the title...
@BeddieKU23 said in Other games:
They will probably all decline to play but the point still stands, it's on the verge of happening.
Wish that would be the case, but why do I anticipate that the powers that be will make sure they are all in the field???
Like it or not, Duke actually has a solid tournament profile (albeit, not 6 seed), which includes non-conference wins against Xavier and Iowa.
UNC and Kentucky have no business being in the tournament based on results to-date.
UNC is 1-8 versus Quad 1 and has no non-conference wins of note.
UK is 1-7 versus Quad 1 and also has no non-conference wins of note. Also, a Quad 4 loss. Totally hanging its hat the Tennessee win in conference play.
Those numbers are by far the worst of any teams that show up in ESPN and CBS brackets (only one close is Auburn). Teams slotted behind teams that have much better profiles.
They are both relying on name brand and not terrible NET rankings.
2 for 1 here???
