2015-16 NCAA Basketball

[halobob]

The first half was one of the worst first halves of bball I have ever seen a UCLA team play.  I'm just happy they made it close so my 2 hour drive sitting in traffic wasn't for a complete shit show.  

 

I love Nate's pure hatred for Alford...sorry man, he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[Angel Oracle]

Figures that Alford and Dan Monson are close friends.

Both are becoming coaching dinosaurs, whose teams play better in non-league play.

Are we all ready to admit that Oregon is the favorite to win the conference now?

 

Edit: Now 3rd in RPI, 9-1 against the Top 50

Absolutely. They're imposing their will on everyone in their path. Pure Altman.

Usc with a nice bounce back series vs the Washington schools. Move to 17-5

[Vegas Halo Fan]

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. 

 

Gonzaga has shown that they aren't what they have been. I watched them play St. Mary's about a week ago and blow a 15-point lead in the second half on the road.

Went to the game today, was my first time at the Galen Center. Beautiful facility and usc played pretty good although the huskies were chucking threes all day long.

Buddy Hield showing what staying four years at a program can do for you. Best player in the nation this season. LSU is in serious danger of missing the tournament altogether.

A sold out Galen center

Weird

SC is so much better than UCLA

Are we a basketball school now?

Apparently

USC is so much quicker than UCLA.    They will be a tough out for anyone, assuming they make the NCAAT.

RPI is at 16ish. Hopefully they finish the final 8 strong. Last game of the regular season at home vs UO

[Angel Oracle]

UO/USC could be a war in early March.   It's got to be a sellout as well.

[Angel Oracle]

USC is ranked #23 in both the Coaches and AP polls.

 

Their remaining schedule (@ASU, @Arizona, Colorado and Utah at home, @Stanford, @Cal, and Oregon St. and Oregon at home) should produce no worse than a 5-3 record (@Arizona, @Cal, and Oregon at home the tough ones remaining), which would mean no worse than 12-6 in the PAC-12 and 23-8 overall going into the PAC-12 tourney.

USC's scoring balance is sick.

[RallyMo]

Absolutely. They're imposing their will on everyone in their path. Pure Altman.

Check that. Not everyone.

[nando714]

Check that. Not everyone.

Thank for the help. USC will have its hands full with the Arizona schools tonight and Sunday

[Angel Oracle]

Cal is a boat load to stop on their court.

I can't see USC winning there later on.

[nando714]

17 turnovers and 1 3 pointer made tonight for USC

Sigh...

[nando714]

USC loses in Tempe. Kinda surprised they were still in the game for how bad they looked tonight.

Also they should never play another game ranked. They're just terrible and I think haven't won a game while ranked so far this season

[Angel Oracle]

That was not good. ASU is meh this season.

Guess the youth still shows from time to time on the road.

Sunday could get ugly, with revenge on UofA's mind.

[nando714]

I think this is a must win for USC tonight vs a good Colorado team
