Non Boog specific COLLEGE HOOPS thread

Agreed. uat trashters grinding away at the cats. UK looks very pedestrian. uat has zero chance at the tourney after their shit non-conference play barring a couple of big wins like this would be plus finishing a couple of games over .500 in SEC play which seems unlikely even if they pull this one off.

UK dropping a few games early in conference play would certainly boost our title hopes. Seemed they had it figured out when they beat UNC and I assumed they would come into conference play rolling.

That head to head matchup coming soon will be huge. I have a feeling they need that one to make up for a few more days like today while they figure out what the heck they are.

Kansas looked like straight manure today. Caught the last 5 minutes of that game. Don't see them going far in the tourney, this year

Just saw that Nevada got dickslapped too by a terrible team. There goes their #1 seed. Wonder if they’ve been a little distracted since their coach is a hot target for the UCLA gig

I'll admit, I don't understand the interest UCLA would have in Musselman. He's a solid coach, sure. But not the star-power UCLA needs in that position. That's a tough job. Not much support, and a lot of bitching. Alford was doomed from day 1.

I've listened to a few podcasts that have covered the UCLA coaching search. Word is Mussleman is a real asshole who does not work well with boosters or his own assistants. None of the "experts" I have heard comment on it think he would be a good fit for UCLA. Sounds like Pitino is a distinct possibility. Most seem to think Hoiberg is the most likely option though.

Yep, Hoiberg is most likely. If he's interested. Pitino is a bit old, and has a cloud hanging over him after Strippergate and buying that one player. But, the NCAA never punished him, so I guess he's fair game.

Damn! That incredible. Torn hand ligament in practice is a effing wild way to end your season. Please do not let anything shitty like that happen to us this year.

I'd give almost anything for a season where all we have is a couple of games missed for minor ankle issue type things. Feels like we always have some dude go out for long stretches or have a player battling through shoulder/ankle issues that just hobble them throughout the season and make them miss random games and be ineffective most of the time they do play.

We've just gotten past what feels like eternity in eligibility issues keeping someone off the court. Would like to have a fairly clean season to see what we can grow into.

We are most definitely due for a good run of luck in terms of keeping guys available. The great news this year is that we weather losing anyone other than Harper, Wiley or Brown. And honestly, Harper and Wiley are probably the only two that do things we just absolutely can't replace. Would be awesome to never need our 10 man depth though and just keep everyone available and healthy all year. If that happens, we should go into the tournament as one of the more rested teams given that our key guys are not going to have to play 35+ mins per game.
 
Nice slate tonight gents as we put huthut season to bed. I’m calling for the b-ball gods to give us a UT loss tonight for making us wait so long to see the HYGs.

Well Mizzou didn’t quite pull the upset but at least St Johns lost and Bama is getting slapped. Also noticed that trash bum John Petty doesn’t start for Bama anymore.

nc state working hard to find ways to lose this one
NC State sucked it up down the stretch. They started taking quick contested jumpers just inside the 3 point line. I can't imagine how coaches do not drill it into their players that is the worst shot in basketball.

South Carolina knocking off Miss State helps us. State is probably the next team up after us, UT and UK in the conference title race.
 
Ratfarts. Looking at UTs sched they should be 11-0 in SEC play. Don’t play anybody till late.
