Thank goodness. Texas Tech is gonna be tough.

Enjoy this Friday boys. Enjoy the dub. Enjoy the rest of basketball tonight. Enjoy the weekend. And enjoy the fact that Alabama has now won a tournament game in five of the last six seasons.

Give Oats that lifetime contract.

Iowa basketball is as painful to watch as past Iowa football teams. Geez. Hold the ball until 7 seconds on the shot clock and then run a clear out and take a contested shot around the rim. I don’t know how they’ve reached 65 tonight. Feels like a 30-25 game.

Statistically, I'm sure we're similar. I've watched them a lot this season and they will absolutely physically push us off the 3-point line. Jaylen Petty is going to be a tough matchup for us. Christian Anderson is a really quick guard that can facilitate and great at finding holes in the D.

I mainly have issues with how we have trouble staying in front of guards. Our positioning leaves a lot to be desired. I always pay attention to our feet and how slow we are to react. Philon got beat a good bit today that fortunately didn't result in buckets late for Hofstra.

I say this - I really hate we are missing Davion Hannah due to injury. I thought his vertical and recovery on D was on par with Jemison. His wingspan is missed.

Not a lot of good games going on right now unfortunately. I'm with @Rolltide24 McCollum brought his boring offense from Drake to Iowa. Gladly got my dishes done during that snoozefest of a game

God dang man. Nobody is running the pick and roll more effectively than Florida right now.

Anyone watching Mizzou-Miami?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Mizzou is 2-9 from 3. They're struggling to find any rhythm offensively.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Miami is really tracking down these long rebounds. Mizzou is also slow as hell on close outs. They're getting sucked into the paint every time and giving open shots from beyond the arc. The Mizzou guard nonchalantly walked to the perimeter. Wild.

Florida is up 71-27 on Prairie Valley. Good lord
