Plenty of examples of teams having a get the jitters out game. No way to know if that's what we do or not until the next one tips off.


Couple years ago we needed a full court drive and layup from Sexton to beat A&M, then came out the next day and destroyed a good Auburn team.

I am interested to watch this Maryland vs UConn game, I have no idea what will happen, it wouldn't surprise me if either team wins by 10.

If UConn is really as good as KenPom thinks they should win pretty easily I kind of doubt they are though, guess we will see.

Yep - I mean, I don't feel as good as if we looked crisp, but the tournament is weird and the first game for a team of guys without a lot of experience can be even weirder.

Glad we spread the lead out when we did and didn't get to the last minute or two in a 1-2 possession game.

Y’all just remember when Auburn went to the Final 4 it took a 13 seed airballing a game winning wide open 3 for Barn to escape

Same, just like the Bonnies. I think the advanced metrics are having issues this year like football did (to a lesser extent). Just not nearly as many data points between leagues.

Charles Barkley just said we're going to kill the next team

He did predict we would win by 12, 13 or 14




Going to post this until he's wrong

Yep. That doesn't mean we're good to go, but it does mean that it isn't the end of the world. The 1st round is terrifying.

Glad the folks who are advocating benching Petty don’t coach. The guy is playing his arse off and looking for confidence. We need him and now isn’t the time to tear him down.

We have plenty of other shooters that allow Petty to grind defensively and on the boards

We have no choice but to ride it out with Petty. We don’t have enough without him.

So they had dudes test positive and I guess too many other guys that would be required based on time within 6 feet to quarantine?

Luka Garza moves like a 7 foot Santiago Vescovi, but he can shoot.

Also Grand Canyon has a top five fan base so far.

Also, I may be wrong, and it's probably already been discussed (I avoid this thread during games), but I thought I saw Primo in the layup line coming out of halftime. Anybody see or hear anything? It would be nice to have another option when everyone is cold.

Any chance Primo is back for next game?
