Then why will University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee with Patrick Baldwin Jr. (who we play in a bit) struggle to be 500 this year? Why does ASU suck with Bagley and Christopher last year? This is such a bad take.

Okay, I get it now... you're one of these insufferable people who can NEVER, EVER.... EVER admit when he's wrong on the internet. Always have to argue every point and never concede a single one ever, because to do so would have to admit that he's wrong (once in a while). And you can NEVER do that, can you? Your wife must just love that quality about you!
North Carolina has multiple NBA prospects. They didn’t blowout Brown, in Chapel Hill. Your expectations are unreasonable.

Again, I'm saying a Power-5 team with NBA prospects should expect to blow out a low-level Ivy League team. But that doesn't mean it WILL happen every time in hindsight. Only that the Power-5 team should be going into the game with the mindset that they should win that game comfortably.
Nope. Maybe a team that presses or plays a gambling defense to create turnovers would be expected to blow out a team like Brown. That’s not how Tad coaches defense—CU is not going to get a lot of steals or cause a lot of turnovers. So a team like Brown can use all the shot clock and sprint back on defense and dictate the pace—preventing a blowout.
Especially if we turn the ball over and don't hit our 3s. If we play crisp, we beat them by double figures while in control the entire 2nd half. Given how we played - also uncharacteristically fouled a lot - we were fortunate to gag out a win against that team.
This may be a stretch on my part, but:
after 30 minutes of crap, the Buffs take a 2 point lead and, as the TV notes, start posing and flexing. Maybe the reason they start so slow is akin, Tad needs to teach these guys some attitude. Be men, do your jobs. (no offense ladies, that was generic).
Honestly, at this stage I think it's encouraging that they're finishing strong. I'll take that over starting strong. Our best start was against SIU and we went into a funk after the 1st timeout that we were unable to overcome due to some bad luck on their 3pt shooting at the end.
I think that's the "Chev game planning & execution" gif.
This board is also AllSalukis the rest of the season. Need that to somehow become a Quad 1 loss. At least no worse than a Quad 2.
I must have jinxed them when I turned it on.

Doesn't really refute my opinion that we should be going into games like this expecting to dominate teams like Brown, but whatever. But I will post something more positive anyway:
Jabari's climbing the mock drafts into the top half of the 1st Round:
He'd be a great fit in Boston with that pick at 12.
I have nothing against Brown. Great school. Their BB team is winning some games this year. This tournament was tough to watch at times, but so much better than those lead blowing scoring droughts of years past when fast starts ended in losses. This team will gel and get better. Probably not in time for KU.
We shot under 20 percent from 3 (maybe significantly worse) and won 2 of 3. In one win we made 1! Played decent defense too.
I'm excited for the next few games. We are due a bit on the offensive end.

It'll come, does take time, though.
We have finished 'stronger', but almost lost 2 in regulation. Either way, we are unable to maintain strong play for a whole game. I think it's more mental than physical.
It's almost as if all but two players in our rotation are freshmen or sophomores.
CRAZY how much that makes the team have similar stretches to the first 2 years of the Kin group. CRAZY.
Top 15 Illinois team was a 10-point favorite against Cincinnati yesterday. Illinois had a 15 point lead at one time in the first half of that game. Then Cincinnati went on a 53-15 run and ended up winning by 20, which could have been 23, except Illinois hit a 3 with 20 seconds left in the game on their last possession. This is college basketball and even top teams go on awful scoring droughts.
Medved is a good coach. But he'll be gone within 2 years. This CSU team is made up of a player who will top 5 in the program's history, one good player, and a bunch of serviceable players being coached well. In two years they will be a .500 program again.
Not a non Power 5 team, but also please explain BYU beating #10 ranked Oregon by 32. Thanks.
That's as bad a draft board re: talent as I've seen in a loooong time. No offense to Jabari, but maybe that's why he's climbing.
But maybe in time for Tennessee. Just sayin'.
The answer is in the irreligious fun thread.
Well played, sir.
