Miami at Duke

[bonefish1]

Was interested to see Pack. Gotta say, he’s pretty solid. 3 3’s in the first 8 minutes. Would love to see them in the tourney.

Also, ACC is a different level of athlete and style than most of the B10. Gotta believe that has something to do with the conferences success in the tourney relative to the B10.

If Pack had come here does he displace Braden as the starter or does he play the 2 and move Loyer to the 3 spot?

Be a good problem to have. I think he’d be the Pg backed up by Smith.

TCU taking Kansas to the woodshed early at Kansas.

TCU taking Kansas to the woodshed early at Kansas.

TCU somewhat letting Kansas back in it with a couple of poor possessions to end the half......up 48-38 @ the break after being ahead 22.

For those who saw the Kansas/Kansas State game where they stopped the game during a KSU fast break because a Kansas player was down well behind the play......just over two minutes today, and TCU's Lampkin had a wide open lay-up.....apparently injured his ankle on his own on the way up, so he missed the lay-up and went down under the basket. Did the Big XII (minus II) officials stop the game?

Nope - Kansas gets a five on four possession until a charging call stopped the play.

Blue blood treatment

TCU is a really good team, lost a heartbreaker to Arizona in the tourney last year, same team back, could be a Final 4 team.

TCU is rolling Rock Chalk. Reminiscent of when Pepperdine beat the living crap out of the Loosiers in Bobby’s last game as their coach. It was great.

I LOVE Braden running this team over Nijel.

Nijel:
PTS. TRB. AST TO. 3PT%. 2PT%. MPG
11.6. 2.5 2 5. 1.7. .374. .44 30.5

Smith:
PTS . TRB. AST. TO. 3PT%. 2PT% MPG
9.9. 4.9. 4.3. 1.9. .455. .49. 29.2

The fact that we aren't great at shooting. Those extra rebounds could determine a W vs. L. Along with his Assist to TO and the most important 900k to sign vs. an offer from a great school/program.

Pack who? Was he somebody we thought we needed at one point?

But I thought Top 5 teams never lost at home???

cheaper too

Good to see Duke pull it out. Hopefully they win ACC. Could be instrumental for an one seed eventually.

#20 Marquette dominates in win. Another good win for the Boilers.

No way. Braden is a true point guard. Pack is a tiny 2 guard.

I just watched the GBI interview with Jerry Sichting. I guess it might have been like the 79 team with Brian Walker at PG with smallish Sichting at the 2. I don’t know if I would start Pack over Loyer either.

Pack is not a PG. He does not have over 3 assists in any ACC game. He is quick and a good shooter, but would never start over Smith for a Paint team.

Disagree heavily. Braden's better even if you're solely looking at stats (more efficient, more rpg and apg), let alone his intangibles. Pack sucked to start the season.
