Games thread- MEN'S BBall opens season hosting Eastern Washington (Mon., 11/4/24; 7:00 PM MT; ESPN+) and No. Colorado (Friday, 7:00 PM MT; ESPN+)

[Bison]

Yes! Baskin got the ball inside but got to make that FT.

 

[Da Lama]

Tad needs to take a long look at our S&C staff. UNC is bigger, stronger and quicker across the board. That’s a big issue and has been for a couple years.

 

[Hank]

This could be a rough season.

 

[Buffnik]

This could be a rough season.

Could also be a lot of fun watching them develop and come together.

Right now, I'm in "win while you learn" mode. Got to find a way tonight.

 

[Bison]

Finally an inside pass to Malone!

 

[Hank]

F*ciking Hammond.

 

[Buffnik]

I like Malone.

 

[Da Lama]

Malone has stepped up. Awesome.

 

[Da Lama]

F*ciking Hammond.

He needs to be 6th or 7th man. Liability.

 

[Bison]

Looks a lot like Monday’s game. Malone and Hammond don’t do much for this team.
Not good when their 5-11 Zack Morris looking MFer is absolutely abusing our guards.

Malone? You mean that guy who has scored 19 points and now is shooting FTs? Guy does need some extra conditioning but he’s playing pretty well in just his second game as a Buff.

 

[SFBuff]

I like Malone.

He’s having a great game.

 

[Buffnik]

I think the 5 that I'm most confident we could roll with and look pretty good is Malone, Jakimovski, Baskin, Ruffin and RJ. Rancik also looks like he's got potential to be good.

Lots of depth after that, but I think Tad's got to get to a core group.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Malone playing with energy and focus. Great game from him.

 

[Bison]

One UNC starter has fouled out and three more UNC starters have four fouls. Let’s finish them off!

 

[Buffnik]

NBA continuation after a soft whistle is gonna make this way too interesting

 

[Hank]

Did the announcer just call them the Polar Bears?

 

[Da Lama]

Officiating still blows.

 

[Hank]

Press will be fun this year.

 

[ZKobalt]

lol

 

[Da Lama]

This fvcking team.

 

[Buffnik]

 

[Hank]

Are you f*cking kidding me?

 

[Bison]

Amazing shot by that UNC 42.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Come on now, why not foul?

 

[Hank]

Can we make an in-season trade for a point guard?

 

[BuffsNYC]

Heh. Buffs need a lot of work.

 

[Buffnik]

The one thing that's pissing me off tonight is our defensive rebounding. We're soft and out of position way too often.

 

[Bourbon Buff]

Stop falling asleep.

 

[Buffnik]

Can we make an in-season trade for a point guard?

18 turnovers and under 25% 3pt shooting in regulation would suggest poor guard play.

 

[Hank]

We're gonna get murdered in the Big 12.
