Congrats now enjoy some basketball friend!

The Bruins are playing pretty damn good and are still only up 6 without the ball.

That's becuz UAB is scorching from 3. They are like 6 of 9

UAB needs a 7'6 Senegalese guy. They'd be winning by 8+ if they had even the slightest defensive post presence.

Guy was a giant yesterday. (Looking not stat wise)

The Bruins have a lot of length but are not very deep. They have an eight man rotation compared to UAB's ten man. That could be a factor by games end.

8 man rotation is perfect. 10 is overkill. kids don't get tired in todays game. so many timeouts, fouls, and replay reviews

 

[ralphiewvu]

Decent first half. Both teams look competent on O and not so much on D. But I'll take it for a 14/11 matchup

I don't know if it is the play by play guys but I struggle to follow basketball games on the radio

Try following a hockey game on the radio..

If they are pressing all game and active on both ends they do. We got a 13 man rotation. Not sure how true that is but the more bodies when you are going up and down, the better.

west Virginia is a weird team because of their style but I still want a small rotation so hard to get a rhythm going when u have guys going in and out at every whistle

 

[ralphiewvu]

That's try rhythm can be an issue. I still think having more bodies is a benefit that outweighs rhythm.

Badgers currently have a 6-7 man rotation with Jackson still injured. It scares the crap out of me. Luckily, those six don't foul much (we have the fewest fouls per game in NCAA history), but it leaves no margin for error. Both of our B1G losses saw key players foul out, and before that, it prevented them from playing tough defense.

That said, I think 2 games per week in the tourney means depth isn't a big concern if you avoid fouls. I don't see us getting tired when we have played 2 games per week all year and haven't gotten tired yet.

UCLA looks like they want to see Doug Gottlieb's analysis again.

He really went into an anti-Bruin rampage on Sunday... I sort of agreed with him, but I am not on TV killing UCLA.

Is betting NC State over Villanova a good idea??

 

[podsox]

uab shooting out of their ass

nc state is such a hit or miss team. when they are on from beyond the arc they are almost unbeatable. nova picks defenses apart. I like nova a lot but they could run into a hot shooting team

They're at least as good a pick as "Robert Morris will take Dewk to the wire"

I had an inside source that told me it would happen. HE was WRONG!!!!
