NCST has totally outplayed Purdue. They just can’t make shots

NC ST has missed so many wide open shots

If Purdue survives NC ST, they’ll get destroyed by UConn. Their guards have been exposed again

I could see these coaches kids being told by Dad to go out and see how much you can get paid. There’s probably some political pressure around maxing out the coach’s kid

And this is so important from an overall program perspective: Moren has had 20+ win seasons since year 2. But she raised it to another level in year 6 at the age of 49. She’s still only 54, so the program can look forward to another decade of success and stability

I was going to say the same. Consistently ranked in the top 20 or better. Single digit loss seasons. Competing for top three in conference. Make NCAAT every year, with S16 appearances and teams that could go deeper

Think about this: McNeely at MI, Queen at MD and Harper at Rutgers

Bradshaw has a higher ceiling but a lower floor. Not a good rebounder and doesn't like contact. The foot surgery is scary.

IDK. He also is putting his name in the NBA draft. The one selling point IU has is getting centers to the League

Ah, but there's the rub. They aren't employees. They are "amateur" athletes. The intent of NIL was to allow student athletes to be compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. If a university was selling jersey's with the player's name for example. Or to allow social media savvy athletes like Livvy Dunn to make money from her image. Instead, you now have bidding wars for non-contractual players who are being paid to play. That isn't healthy for college athletics. "They call [Townsend] Mr. Oakland here, but … the only reason he's got another year is the COVID year. So, he gave us four years. He's got his degree," Kampe said. "He's going to get offered so much money and I can't [match that]. We've got a 'Keep Trey Townsend Fund' going from our [NIL] collective, and we might be able to get $40-50,000 in there, but he's looking at $250-300,000 from what I'm being told. So, it's going to be hard for me to tell him to stay."

Yes, in the recruiting thread

Agreed. Williams, Rice and Carlyle could be an elite defensive team, but scoring could be a challenge

CAA Defensive POY three straight years. One year of eligibility.

Never. Officials don't want to call three seconds. I read an article from last year where Chris Holtmann said after a game against Purdue that the rule should just be eliminated because the officials won't call it. He said Purdue knows at the most, it would be called once a game, so they just keep running what they do. “Listen, I was on the officials the entire game. I really do think that needs to be evaluated whether or not you keep that rule in the rulebook. Because if it’s not gonna be enforced, why is it in fact in the rulebook?” Holtmann said. “And clearly, it’s not a rule that is enforced. He does a good job at times of dancing in and out, but more times than not, it’s clear. And listen, give them credit. They know it’s not going to get called. And if at the very most, it’s gonna get called once a game, at the very most. And most times it won’t.” Well, what they’re saying is, ‘Hey, they’re not gonna call it more than once at the most, so why wouldn’t we just park him there?’ It’s smart on their part. And what we’ve got to do is be able to adjust better, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Right, but it doesn't reset by making a move to the basket. For example, if a player is in the lane 2 seconds, catches a pass, dribbles toward the basket for 3 seconds (5 total) and puts up a shot, no violation. If he does the exact same, but instead of shooting, he passes to a cutter, it's a violation.

Actually it doesn't reset when the player has the ball. It only resets if he makes an attempt to score. If he sets up in the lane and receives a pass, holds the ball and doesn't make a move to the basket, it's a violation. An allowance is made to continue a count but suspend a violation ruling when, before 3 seconds, an offensive player starts to attempt to score (including dribbling to the basket). If the move is directly completed, no violation can occur. However, if the move is aborted (e.g. by a pass or fake), no exception applies.

Dug (Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel, please) had academic issues at MI. That's why he was on the travel suspension. Probably not the same issue at K State.

"Carlyle is a dynamic ball in hand player with terrific length for his size who can create scoring opportunities for himself on demand. He is simply wired to score from all three levels and never has seen a shot he does not like. His handle is as good and tight as anyone in the class and he can get by a defender with his speed and quickness. While he is primarily a scorer, he is terrific at making attacking plays off the dribble with his excellent handle and when the bucket opportunity does not present itself, he is more than willing to make the right find. What is better than his ability to score is his mindset. His mentality is elite as he is a tough and fierce competitor who is always in full attack mode. His constant aggression is what makes him positively productive. Defensively, he has the length and the foot speed to be elite and devastating on that side of the floor. A terrific two-way guard, Carlyle most certainly projects a reliable scorer who plays through most injuries and goes to war like each game is his last" Carlyle was unable to sustain the same shooting prowess from behind the three-point line that he showed in December, and ultimately saw his percentage dip down to 32% from that range. He was, however, an increasingly versatile scoring threat, if not always an efficient one, as he attempted 33% of his shots at the rim and 42% in the mid-range area per Pivot Analysis.

Carlyle shot 39% overall and 32% from three. Rice was 27% from three and was 0-22 in his last 6 games going into the NCAAT. Tony Perkins 43% overall and 30% from three. IU is in on a lot of non-shooters. Hickman would be the exception, so far at 40% from three. But they desperately need a PG and Perkins or Rice would be good options, but don't help the shooting problem.

It's interesting how these schools are downsizing their basketball arenas. Their current arena seats about 11k and this new arena would seat 8k. Baylor just built a new 7,500 seat arena to replace a 10,300 seat arena. Just as McLane Stadium’s downsizing compared to Floyd Casey Stadium has helped give Baylor football a better home-field advantage, the Foster Pavilion’s size — 7,000 seats — and design will help ensure the new facility is packed with Baylor fans night in and night out.

Probably not. I think Davis is a good student, but FAU doesn't rank very high academically. See the following example of Myles Hinton, OL who transferred from Stanford. Eventually, innocently, the question of his major arose. "Right now, general studies, because they had like, transfer — like the credits kind of messed up,” Hinton began. “I was in human biology at Stanford and then for some reason, they didn’t take a lot of the credits. Like, all my bio credits dropped." In high school, he was a member of the National Honor Society and Beta Club and in his first year in Palo Alto he was named the "Most Outstanding Freshman." It's the main reason he couldn't believe the classroom he found himself in during the summer session. "Yeah, it was crazy! I was like, ‘What in the world!” Hinton said. “I took an intro to writing class last semester, and I was like, ‘What’s going on? I took this class freshman year." It was crazy." Per U-M admissions, “up to 60 credits may be transferred from other colleges and universities to count toward the 120 required for a U-M degree.” https://sports.yahoo.com/michigan-football-ol-myles-hinton-192525094.html

They could rename the team the Bedford Stoners

23 points and 5 assists in McD game. Named co-MVP with Dylan Harper
