PAC MAN Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Young Buffs are going to take on 13th ranked Xavier on the road. Going to be curious to see how CU does on the road even if the Buffs doesn't appear likely to win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExplorerSunDevil Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Arizona State leading Kansas 70-61 with 8:36 to go in the game *Bill Walton calls Arizona State "Arizona"*. Not to worry, he's not the first to do that and he won't be the last to do it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Looking more and more like Duke has found their successor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastFan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 You have to be really impressed with what Bobby Hurley has done at ASU. First took down KSU, then smashed Xavier, then toppled St. Johns, and now buzz-sawed Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. Just off the wall the best showing by far of any Pac-12 team this season. Hell, he even knows the school's nickname! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 if oregon makes the tournament this year it will be dana altman’s best coaching job to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'd say any of his Creighton coaching jobs are better than this year. It's not like you are devoid of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 hey that’s interesting what teams specifically at creighton impressed you. who graduated and which players returned and how did that stack up with the rest of their conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 All of them, considering none of them had more talent than this Oregon. Sure they had Buford and Korver, but past that, not a whole lot of potential NBA talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 the subject posed wasn’t about most talent. i trust you understand that a team with less talent can thrive in a less talented conference. do you think i’m papa what’s with the troll job here aaaaaaaanyway, i’m not seeing any good reason to keep playing mcintosh over wooten. and i do hate elijiah brown ever so much. i thought the rebuild would go smoother with these, ahem, seniors around but i’m also not seeing many good reasons to play brown over bailey.

MrBug708 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm sure you understand that as a fan of a team who underachieves with a lot of talent, simply performing well with a poor roster breakdown, doesn't mean it was a good coaching job, just an expect coaching job. But winning 25 games with the collection of talent Oregon has, isn't exactly going to be a great coaching job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 bailey is a little wild, but he’s wild while in the process of making plays. elijiah brown went scoreless tonight on four shots i don’t understand the point of him. and wooten made a great case for himself tonight. hope the coaches took notice.

PAC MAN Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 ASU surely is looking good so far. CU did get whipped at Xavier and like I said, it was expected. Now the Buffs' remaining OOC games are: San Diego, South Dakota State, and Iowa (neutral site that will be pro-Hawkeyes). Big week with the Torreos and Jackrabbits coming to Boulder. I think those teams will be a good test before the Buffs begin conference play @OSU on the 29th of this month. The Buffs bounced back from the loss at CSU to beat New Mexico (that team doesn't look good this season) and CU fans are hoping for the same this week. It would be great if the Buffs win the remaining OOC games (not expecting it) because the Buffs will probably have a difficult season in the PAC with the Oregon trip followed by Arizona home then a trip to Southern California. Buffs in my opinion have a difficult conference schedule with round robins against the AZ, SoCal, and WA schools plus series at home against the NorCal schools and road trip to Oregon. That is why I didn't expect anything from this Buffs squad this season when it comes to the postseason. Being thin in the interior is going to be difficult on the Buffs from this point to the end of the season but I believe the Buffs will be better for it next season.

PAC MAN Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 One more thing...I really have enjoyed Bill Walton doing CU games and he will do so tonight. I can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed Pac-12 basketball since the Buffs made the move west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
