Buffalo     38

Kentucky  33

 

Halftime (espnu)

[Lou]

74-64 LB against a D-2 school, SF State.

Like I said Lou, we are losing big time at Pauley a week from now.

 

i highly doubt it.

you'll be much better with Lamb on the court

[Angel Oracle]

As long as he doesn't jack up 20 shots

[Angel Oracle]

Big week for LB:

@ Xavier on Tuesday evening

Hosting K-State on Friday night 

@ UCLA on Sunday evening 

 

Hopefully, Tyler Lamb returns tomorrow evening as the guy who takes 10-15 shot attempts, and not 20-25.

Usc wins 1!! McLaughlin is easily our best player. Fits perfect in enfields system. Curious to see this young team grow together throughout the season. Boy they also have almost zero size as well.

I know that feeling, LB State rarely EVER has anyone who is any good over 6-8.

Titans look strong!

big win over Tennessee

Tech

It was.

[Angel Oracle]

I'd still rather have Enfield, than bringing Tim "dirtbag" Floyd back. 

[Lou]

True,  but Floyd is a better coach and recruiter. 

[Angel Oracle]

Monson needs to go!

 

I don't freaking care how much you recruit!

 

If you can't coach your way out of a freaking wet paper bag, what freaking good does it do???????

[nando714]

UCI playing Arizona tough in Tucson. UCI leading 29-26 at half. Game on pac network

Somewhere, Monty is smiling.

Beach beats kstate. AO might have a late night tonight

[Angel Oracle]

LOL

To quote the Fonz, I was wr...., I was wr..., I was not right about the LB/K-St prediction.

The defense showed up finally, although to quote the late Chick Hearn, K-St couldn't throw a pea in the ocean until late in the first half.

McKnight finally showed what he did at FGCU, although he can't throw a FT in the ocean. Branford Jones is not the best player, but may be the glue, as he is a solid fundamentals guy. Caffey and Lamb struggled, and tried to do too much. The freshmen continue to show signs of being really solid in a year or two. David Samuels is a different player from a year ago, much more confident. When you double-double against a K-St, that is solid work.

UCI is still the clear BWC favorite. Too much inside with Davis II healthy again, and the perimeter is solid with Young and Nelson anchoring it.

LB will likely battle UCSB for 2nd spot.

[Angel Oracle]

Hey Lou, you can have Tyler Lamb back!

HE SKUS !!!!!!!

[Lou]

Hmmmm, i'm good with Powell and Hamilton.

 

Bryce Alford is better than people realize

[Lou]

unfortunately, i have to record the 2nd half and watch it later.

i'm sure LB will make it close. That's our MO

[Angel Oracle]

Face it Lou, the Bruins have a solid team.

Top 3 in the PAC-12, maybe 2nd spot behind UofA

Powell, Alford, Issac Hamilton, Looney and Parker make for a rock solid starting lineup.

The key for them will be how much the bench contributes.

I was surprised that LB was competitive on the glass, with the size that UCLA has.

[Angel Oracle]

That was just about the FUGLIEST 18 pt. win that LB will ever have,

27-4 run against WMU to close out the game.

Temi Yussef is a man. It's just too bad that a) he's only 6-7, and shoots FTs just a little bit better than Dwight Howard.

[Angel Oracle]

Now, UCLA decides to play poorly.

Where was that 5 days ago?

[Angel Oracle]

It was frustrating to lose a 9 pt. 2nd half lead to U-Dub last night.

Williams-Goss is the real deal, and could well challenge for 1st team all-PAC12 honors.

There ain't anyone as smooth of a player in the BWC. Dude is always seemingly under control.

Caffey is good, but is the antithesis of Williams-Goss...too much one on one and trying impossible plays.

Oh, and Temi Yussef is a stud. If only he was 6-9 and not 6-7.

Of course that would have meant the PAC12 recruiting him hard in all likelihood.

Much of his 250 lbs. is already muscle, very unusual for an 18 year-old freshman.

His basketball IQ is really good too.

Usc moves to 4-3 after winning in new Mexico today

[Angel Oracle]

LB State completes a solid Wooden Legacy as the 3rd place team with an upset of Xavier, 73-70.

Yep, Caffey can take over a game.

Yep, Yussef for a freshman is really good.
