"We typically start scaling back practices mid-January. We want our guys playing best basketball mid-March, not mid-January. Gotta be smart with load management, in a grind. Now, can't afford too many more injuries. Still live stuff not flying

I hope Keon becomes more assertive on the offensive end because the dude is an elite shooter.

Oklahoma's AdjD is #40.

Higher ranked AdjD we've played already:

Tennessee #2
Stanford #9
Kentucky (2x) #17
Clemson #18
Ole Miss #20
Arkansas #38

We averaged 74 ppg against those teams.


I wonder if kentucky's adj D would be higher if you took out the 2 games against us.

Yea that's interesting. And then when conference play starts, if you are good, you generally get a full house of excited fans.


Yep. I never really thought about it like that until i've seen a couple of these quotes from him in the last couple of weeks.

You can just tell that he is one of the coaches that would absolutely love to have a packed and loud as hell gym. And not just for the recruiting or whatever - the dude loves basketball and the environment of a raucous crowd when is team his humming is probably one of his favorite things.

He sure does love our football team. Wish we could get him a new arena to lock him up. Imagine being like 06 Florida with Urban Meyer/Billy Donovan


I was living in Gainesville at the time. Obviously still cheered for Bama when we came to play, but went to a ton of their games. It was pretty cool.

The 85 we scored against them in the first game is the most they've given up all season so far.

We averaged 77.5 ppg in the games we played them.

They give up 66.8 ppg if you take out the two Alabama games.

So yeah, it definitely would.

This graphic looks at the quality of shots which incorporates individuals' percentages which is very different!

Also shoutout to Bama who basically broke the graph with the highest rim & 3 rate by so far...

And he would get it too if it wasn't for COVID.

anyone seen a line yet on tomorrow's game?

I'd think sooner would be a point or two favorite.

Collin Sexton is averaging 25 PPG on 52% shooting carrying a Cavs team that no one thought would be good to the 6th seed in the playoffs right now. #YoungBull should be a lock for All-Star...

If Collin can bump his assist numbers up into the 5-7 per game range he will be making an absolute frick ton of money in a couple of years. Even if he doesn't he's still going to get paid soon.

Oklahoma is a 1.5 point favorite according to Vegas insiders website. It took looking in several sites before I found anything.

He's in the east. So he may have a chance to make an all NBA team. Is love to see him get a super max. He's earned it just by living in Cleveland.
