2022-23 Games of Interest

That wasn't the play call. I think that was the backup when the lob wasn't available.

Still a good call that got a wide open look. Just better defense by Pitt

Mostly I am just glad they lost lol....selfishly

Yea, that's why I said it was probably the 4th option. He was definitely wide open. I feel his pain at watching players brick wide open 3s after the last 2 years.

For sure

MSU had 49 rebounds with 18 on the offensive boards.

[shoxlax]

That was a high level First Four game.

Nice iso play in crunch time.

JB plays with a lot of confidence; I've watched a few Pitt games this year. Excellent pick-n-pop guy. He'll show that against the Cyclones if he gets more minutes than he did tonight.

[ShockRef]

Bring Jans home

Well, for those of you willing to give up your first born or at least a significant body part, CJ is now on the clock!
Oh yea, JB still looks good in black & gold.

That is all.

[ShockRef]

Future AAC foe UAB blows out USM tonight in NIT action.

That is all.

[Aargh]

If the next coach is Jans it could be 3 or 4 days until we know. If we know he's coming here before then, the deal was done before the tourney. If Jans doesn't make an "I'm staying" announcement Wednesday, he's in play.

That's the main thing. If we don't get an official "I'm staying" within a day or two....then it is still on the table.

Think of all the dominos that had to fall for a former WSU player to hit the game winning shot to knock out a former WSU assistant coach.

All roads lead to Wichita.

first chuckle of the morning....how true....

Chris Jans only has one tournament win to his name, but he could have 2 or 3 (or even more) if one or two wide open shots would have gone in.

Yep. 2019. NMSU had a couple different missed chances to beat Auburn, including a missed free throw and a WIDE OPEN shot miss at buzzer. Auburn would *****-slap the Beakers in the next round and eventually make Final 4 (losing a heartbreaker to Virginia in that game). Transitive property doesn't really work in sports, but you wonder what New Mexico State could have done with Auburn's path.

Pitt got out rebounded by 17 boards (18 to 6 on the O glass) and still won.

I'll never say D is overrated but the college game (esp. NCAA's) is decided by guard play. That same old platitude is still true.

I have always said, defense will always keep you in the game. But you still have to score to win.

I personally feel that a great defense and average offense is better than a great offense and average defense.

Only because good defense travels and doesnt have many off nights. Whereas a good offense can have more off nights. Sometimes shots just dont fall.

But at the end of the day, you still have to have some sort of balance and be able to do both

Airline has apparently lost all athletic equipment of Grand Canyon.

Drew is trying to buy up all Nike gear he can find for his team to practice in.

They're hoping the unis are found and delivered before their Friday game.
