Outside the ACC thread 11/23

Man I kinda like that Northern Iowa team. Watched them yesterday and on and off today

They were good inside the arc today, but they’ve kinda been meh outside of this game in terms of efficiency, and they barely get any points from 3. Our 2P defense has been elite so far, so the interior will definitely be the battleground on that side of the floor.

Barely any teams left that haven’t played a stinker. Lot of teams figuring things out this time of year and we are definitely in that group

I don’t know who to root against, Caleb love or Michigan state. No wait, yes I do.

PS, Caleb love is still a horrible chucker

Because he’s not a punk b like Jabri and Traudt, he’s actually loyal.

completely forgot former @Hooandtrue transfer portal target David Jones was a part of Memphis’ portal hall. They also got that kid who looked like Trey Murphy in D2 but no idea if he’s playing for them or not.

Eh. They are definitely beatable for us. My concern is keeping A&M out of the paint. They were dominant today.

Do I put my Stanford comments in the ACC thread or the Outside the ACC thread? I guess Outside, but I’ve already adopted them as a conference member. I like this team, I’m just glad we don’t have to play them this season, their 7-footer is a force. Currently tied with Michigan with under 5

Anyway during the broadcast the announcers were doing a shout-out to their camera crew, Mike, Bailey, Steve, Kyle, Guy… and I did a double take. I’m just happy our boy found gainful employment

I know the guy is a walking meme, and I might catch some crap for saying this…but when the time comes for TB to leave, I wouldn’t hate it if we gave Buzz a look.

Unfortunately I think UVa will need to change their stance on NIL if they want to succeed beyond CTB.

I do think it’s slowly changing. It seems like football is collecting NIL money for this portal season. Don’t think UVA will ever get in bidding wars, but seems like the administration is more willing to get into the NIL game

Just looking at A&M’s recruiting (HS & portal) the last few years, it’s not like they’re outbidding blue blood programs for top talent. You could argue we’ve recruited (and got) much higher rated talent over the same time.

There might be other reasons we wouldn’t go after/get someone Buzz’s caliber post-TB, but I’m not sure NIL would be the reason.

Is today A&M’s version of Wisconsin get throttled by Providence? Just in time to learn and figure things out to play us.

Might have spoken too soon
