2015-16 NCAA Basketball

[Tank]

what channel is televising the ucla-usc game tonight?

[AngelsLongBall]

Didn't see the game, saw the box score.  Wow.  Maybe Enfield isn't as terrible as we thought, maybe he needed a couple years to implement his Dunk City

USC was a much better team.  Athletically they ran circles around the Bruins.

[Angel Oracle]

USC has depth (solid 8 man rotation plus Marquetti and Gavrolic aren't stiffs) all around with really good talent and athleticism, and solid post height.

They could be really scary come March.

That game sucked, the Bruins played as bad as they possibly could've played.  No defense whatsoever, 4-19 from 3pt range (most of which were good looks), and 8 missed shots within 2 feet of the basket in the 1st half. I'm looking forward to the rematch at Galen.

Oregon with a big win over Utah on the road. Conference is wide open this year.

UCLA has the #5 and #9 recruits (according to espn) signed for next year.  TJ leaf should take Tony Parker's spot and I have to assume he will be the only Bruin leaving.  I expect a very strong Bruin team next season.

I miss the days when players stayed three or four years in college. The college game was more interesting to me then.

I come back from Jamaica and usc is a basketball school

Usc in Oregon tonight

Should be interesting

[Angel Oracle]

Game could get into the 90s for both USC and Oregon.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Good win, Oregon played really well offensively. ESPN currently has us 5th in RPI, and the Pac 12 has 9 teams in the top 50 but has polled very poorly.

[nando714]

I did like oregons zone defense like last. Usc had no answer and took a lot of poor shots imo.

[nate]

Bryce Alford is the best player for Oregon today.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Is UCLA's rebounding always this poor?

[HeavenlyHalos]

I love this Ducks team so much. Two of the best shot blockers in the nation. Dillon Brooks will deserve a serious look at conference POTY if he continues to play this well.

 

Edit: And as I say that one of them gets injured at the end of the game, shit.

Yes, but do they have the requisite number of rapists to be a classic Dana Altman team?

[HeavenlyHalos]

lol, well played. That story is pretty sketchy all the way around. The accuser wakes up after that night and decides to call Joseph Young, who was the one person on the team she apparently knew before that night (Young was not involved the previous night), and have consensual sex with him. Not saying it isn't true that she got raped, but that is certainly odd behavior. 

 

Anyway, big game on Thursday @ Arizona. Who would have thought Washington would be on top of the conference at this point?

[Lou]

Whores get raped all the time and are right back on the stroll

[nando714]

Usc gets swept in Oregon

#24 in the rpi

[nate]

The Pac 12 is a mess this year in basketball.

[nando714]

I didn't think einfeld could potentially take usc to the tourney in year 3. Everyone was pointing to next season. I hope they beat a gritty UW team Saturday

The PAC-12 really only has one weak team, Wazzu.

 

How UCLA lost to them, is crazy.

For Alford to go 3-5 so far in PAC-12 play, AFTER beating Kentucky and Gonzaga, that has to be riling up UCLA supporters to no end. 

[nate]

UCLA lost to them twice because UCLA is terrible.  Alford needs to go.
