I think Bruce may have broken UNC with that beat down in the tourney last season. They sit at 8-7 and not even ranked on the top 30. Guess The Bruce & AU took Roy Williams UNC seat at the BlueBlood table.
OT: 2019-20 boog hoops
- Thread starter Van Gorstache
- Start date
CLIFFS:
- BP adequately explains why our schedule is getting shat on
- talks J'von; says when you have an opportunity to "promote from within" it's always the right move because the employee / player deserves it especially when they put in the work / effort. Earned coaches' and teammates respect with his work ethic in the off-season and late last year. Could have recruited another PG, decided not to due to J'von's development
- On Okoro: the best or 2nd best wing defender he's ever coached. Plus defender on any position 1-5. Joy to coach. Huge mismatch, play him at positions 2-4. WINNER. more BRUCE gushing / player promoting, etc.
- JON notes our schedule while not as impressive as other top teams, the teams we did play will look good for us in March. BRUCE agrees. Wishes Wisconsin could've made the Brooklyn tourney final. Lol sorry Wisky not everyone can have an elite bball program and avoid those losses.
- BRUCE notes that he doesn't usually get invited to the top-tier non-conf. tournaments. JON seems sympathetic, and rightly so. this is an ABOMINATION
- Further info on why BRUCE is a scheduling mastermind. No surprise there.
- Bruce goes into his broadcasting career after UT, prior to AU. JON low-key probably looking for tips.
- briefly details his expert strategies on building team chemistry; BRUCE = bad guy, teammates = good guys. Wants guys holding each other accountable but not hate each other (seems like a good idea).
- BRUCE doesn't think about getting back to Final Four. One game at a time. Will lose at some point (idk about that Bruce). Don't get too high, too low.
- On Samir: BRUCE loves seeing Samir's progression through his AU career. Notes Samir locked down Nesmith in the 1H even though he didn't play great offensively.
- Bruce hypes up bama. "Best 8-7 team in CBB" (LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO get fugged bama)
- much more.
That pace went to hell in a hurry. The worst ACC in how many years??
I’m thinking maybe we spruce up the Clam a bit. I’ve noticed Oregon uses tree silhouettes & UDUB uses the Space Needle to confuse opponents. I’m thinking use the Sir Charles statue on one end & BRUCE on the other. Then maybe BO & CAM on the sides for distractions. Needs to be run by BRUCE first for sure tho. Might even help with crootin too.
pretty cool that the young man means so much to a bunch of people that they traveled to see him even though they knew he most likely wouldn't even play
Nahunta is TINY. Like a gas station on HWY 82 and a high school. That’s it. You go to Waycross for groceries and Brunswick for dinner
young man has his own production company or something. Pretty quality stuff. Wonder who was filming
He is a hard worker and his stroke is so pretty. I think he gets time next year at the 1 and 2. Rife and JG can’t play every minute or every game.
If he thickens up he has the game and mentality to be a beast down low. Dude is athletic as they come. Just needs to keep hitting them weights and protein shakes and he will get his chance next year.
Guess they aren’t gonna do gameday twice in a row but the Clam will once again be hosting the top matchup v LSU. Nova playing Seton Hall the only remotely close but both of them got waxed at home by unranked teams the other day.
Was perusing the NCAA tourney selection committee rules today and found this gem that should help out the boogs:
"2. If possible, after examining the previous two years’ brackets, teams or conferences will not be moved out of its natural region or geographic area an inordinate number of times."
So pack your bags for Tampa or Greensboro.

Looking at our SEC stats it’s pretty wild how we’re at 8-2. Just some never say die HYGs.
Basically bottom half of the league in everything except rebounding and FTM/ FTA. 10th or worse in all shooting % categories. More TOs than TOs forced. Devan, Jamal, Isaac only guys over 28% from 3. Just makes me think if we actually start playing well.
Also PSA Andy Kennedy says he’s gonna be at the Clam Wednesday. Some boog student needs to have a Ron Jeremy fathead with them.

Next 5 Games:
Alabama
@Mizzou
@UGA
UT
OM
I'm going with 5-0 putting us at 26-2 ranked ~#5 going into @ UK.

A loss at Mizzou wouldn’t shock me, just because I feel like this playing catch-up on the road won’t work forever, but 5-0 is a legit possibility
Yo, what record do you guys think wins the conference. Now that we tied for the lead and have the tie breaker (currently) over UK and have it permanently over LSU? I think 14-4 will win it outright. Can probably get share of it at 13-5. Lsu has the hardest schedule remaining out of hte three teams
yeah, but they still have bama, UF, USC, and Arkansas still away from home. That's the toughest slate of away games out of the three
There is no tiebreaker. Every team that finishes with the best record is a co-champion. Hence UT got a title with us 2 years ago despite our head to head win over them.
I think it will take 15-3 to win the title outright. 14-4 for a 2-3 way tie.
a boog win at Rupp would pretty much do it. Otherwise not sure UK and LSU both gonna lose 3 more.
Bruce doing source god a favor by appearing on the debut episode of his new web series
This seems a bit telling. Not saying all our shooting problems are based here but good golly are we better with a nice, classic Wilson basketball
It would be just Wilson balls in the tourney right? If so, I’m back on board we are winning the ship!
