still, a lot of their 3s to start the games were rushed. I guess if they hit them, then it's ok. still most were really bad shots, guys not really square, not in a good tempo.
you have to hit some 3s in the modern game, so teams have to know what's a good one and what's not. Gonzaga IMO really shot themslelves out of the game early, and not gonna overcome that vs. UCONN
wouldv'e been interesting to see a fully healthy UCLA vs. UCONN and the contrast with UCLA fully able to play their type of defense.
San Diego State looks like a bunch of menn out there. Jeez, it's like let's hit the weights guys. they are really physical
The 4th foul on Temme was a bit ticky tac but it had no real bearing on the outcome and, basically, wouldn’t have even gotten a second thought if he hadn’t picked up the 3rd foul charge, which was him just being flat out brain dead. I was pretty sure UConn was going to win handily just based on their other games and the fact Gonzaga was fortunate to put away a very short handed UCLA team. I didn’t think this was one of Few’s better teams just based on their defense. I liked the fact Hurley bumped for his conference post game. Maybe he’s exaggerating saying they play in the best conference (maybe not) but the notion some put out about the Power 5 existing in hoops the way it does in football ridiculous. The Big East has been consistently better than the Pac12 for about 40 years, and that includes post Syracuse/BC
leaving. It’s not out of the realm the Pac (Whatever # they land on) starts sweating Selection Sunday’s going forward, it won’t happen all the time, but individual years where they become a 1 bid league aren’t out of the question.
Overall, pretty enjoyable tournament, FAU has a pretty young team with lots of talent, curious to see if they can keep that group together. I kinda like the Summer Football Passing league approach to inbounding the ball late game / against full court pressure. I’m sure there’s a counter comming soon, but I haven’t seen it not work yet. Monson better be paying attention.
missed 3s galore
chasing defense
your best player making a couple silly fouls to take hiimself out
it happens
