Texas being 9-1 in our last 10 vs UNC is one of the weirdest matchup stats I'm aware ofCongrats to Shaka on buying 12 or 15 more years in Austin
Yeah they all end like that horse shit finish tooTexas being 9-1 in our last 10 vs UNC is one of the weirdest matchup stats I'm aware of
The preferred term is chin diaper.College basketball coaches seem to be having difficult time understanding how to coach with masks on. Huggins and Few had them as chinstraps
In Huggins’ defense, the refs completely changed the way they were calling the game from first half to second half and West Virginia had some awful calls go against them.College basketball coaches seem to be having difficult time understanding how to coach with masks on.

And that is a defense of his not knowing how to wear a mask....how?In Huggins’ defense, the refs completely changed the way they were calling the game from first half to second half and West Virginia had some awful calls go against them.

Didn’t mean to imply it was. It was frustrating watching that game from an officiating standpoint.And that is a defense of his not knowing how to wear a mask....how?
Aren't the games they are showing better w/o the fake crowd noise? Still pissed at ABC/ESPN for effectively shouting down Sean McDonough throughout the BC/Notre Dame football game a couple weeks ago.College basketball coaches seem to be having difficult time understanding how to coach with masks on.

If this was 10-15 years ago, he'd be a top 10 pick. But, what he does well does not fit the current NBA style of play. He's too slow. Great college player, not an NBA player. He'll make a ton of money over in Europe or in Asia.Ok, so just how good is Luka Garza? Guy is putting up ridiculous numbers so far.
vs. N. Carolina Central: 26 points (11-14 fg), 10 reb, 3 blocks
vs. Southern: 41 points (14-15 fg), 9 reb, 3 blocks
vs. W. Illinois: 35 points (13-21 fg), 10 reb, 2 blocks
So far on the season: 34.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 76.0% fg, 62.5% 3ptfg, 80.8% ft
He's got good size (6'11", 265), has got excellent shooting mechanics, and has good footwork in the post. Doesn't seem to be a great athlete, but seems decent enough. And it's not like this is some crazy leap. Last year he was terrific as well, averaging 23.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, shot 54.2%, and 35.8% from three.
But looking at 2021 mock drafts, the guy is nowhere to be found.
https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/- Not even listed as a 2nd rounder.
https://nbadraftroom.com/p/2021-2nd-round/- Listed as a second round pick, at #53.
So is this guy a legit NBA player?
I'd be very leery of him getting his shot off against more athletic centers in the NBA.Well he may be slow on D, but he can really shoot, so on the offensive end of the floor he'd be a real nice asset. And not a Kanter, who was really only good in the post. Garza can post or he can hit the three. Would his D just be so awful that he's basically unplayable in the NBA?
Why? His release is really nice. He may be slow of foot, but his shot looks fantastic. Just spot him up and when the big helps out on a drive, kick it to him. Or pick and pop and he shoots over smaller players.I'd be very leery of him getting his shot off against more athletic centers in the NBA.
I don't think he'll be as effective on offense against just as tall and more athletic bigs he'd face in the NBA. They will be able to close out on him faster than the players he's against now. Defense is definitely the bigger issue so any cut in his offensive value is bad for him.Why? His release is really nice. He may be slow of foot, but his shot looks fantastic.

I really don't think that's the issue. Defense is the issue.
Why? I'm the resident primary Zag fan on this board and love how Timme's game has grown over the past couple of seasons.I came away from that game not a fan of Timme.
He was terrible in the first half then the refs gave him every call on the offensive end while getting away with much worse on the defensive end. In the process, he just rubbed me the wrong way.Why?

“Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 during the summer. Although the cause of Johnson’s ailment was not immediately known, the coronavirus can lead to myocarditis, a viral infection of the heart muscle. At its most severe, myocarditis can lead to sudden cardiac arrest”
Terrifying. Sending good vibes to that young man.Something to bear watching for its impact on all college sports pushing through the Covid period. U. Florida baskeball player just collapsed on the floor and is in critical condition.
Horrifying if anyone has seen the video. Body just goes limp and he falls lifeless, face first, to the floor.Terrifying. Sending good vibes to that young man.

Not out of the woods, but seems to be getting considerably betterhttps://www.gainesville.com/story/sports/ncaab/sec/2020/12/14/florida-keyontae-johnson-medically-induced-coma-collapse/6545308002/
He was transported to Gainesville (UF Shands) yesterday and according to UF Athletics is acknowledging/responding to basic commands. Still, plenty to be concerned about.
Some much needed good news. I hope his recovery continues and is complete. I thought I watched him die on Saturday.Not out of the woods, but seems to be getting considerably better

Pushback: a) how much more would the commentators know and be able to tell you in a situation like this if they were in the arena? And b) if a commentator is resourceful enough, there's actually a lot you can do remotely, especially if you have a partner who can vamp to fill time while you look things up online (or even get your producer to make a few calls and feed information to you).ACC Network/ESPN learned having remote announcers (in the works even without COVID) may save money, but when you're in Bristol, Charlotte, or at home to do the game, you're pretty much fucking clueless if any "unique" situation like this presents itself.
Pushback accepted and returned. I'm not anti-remote, I understand it, and thanks to technology it's ALMOST seamless.Pushback: a) how much more would the commentators know and be able to tell you in a situation like this if they were in the arena?

I would always rather commentate on a game in personal if I could, of course. But at the same time, commentators shouldn't use being remote as an excuse to go through the motions.
Worst start since 1926Kentucky has lost 5 in a row. Does anyone else feel bad for Cal?
and pulled players towards the end of the game when they could have likely scored 100 if they had tThe Zags hung 98 on Virginia in a blowout win.
In fairness, that's one of the most challenging P5 OOC schedules I've ever seen.Kentucky is now 1-6 after losing to Louisville. Maybe they'll call it a season too.
