    UConn Fan Checking In

    You mean the guy who cursed out a team official for doing his job. The one who blamed his issues on using pot or the one who is accused of beating his girlfriend.

    UConn Fan Checking In

    Explain it to me...I agree some of his stuff is, but his offensive and defensive ratings are pretty solid.

    UConn Fan Checking In

    So I assume Mr. Royce Whites class is reflective of ISU? Because you know, he's full of class.

    Is UConn a better match up for us than UNC?

    I've seen that. He's a good shooter. Hes also been on fire the past five games. Brought his 3pt shooting from 38 to 41 percent. He's "only" 9-18 in the past 3 games. 12-22 is past five. Giffey is 11-18 in his last five games from three. Which brought his percentage from 50 to 52%...

    UConn Fan Checking In

    Poor mans Embiid on offense may be gracious. He has one post up move, which is a nice righty hook. Other than that he scores on lobs and put backs. Defensively he's a bit of a different player than Embiid. He's probably a similar caliber shot blocker, but he's not as good at bodying...

    Is UConn a better match up for us than UNC?

    Just a note: Daniels started the season 2-12 from three. He is now 46-103. So he's 44-91 since that awful start. Nearly 50%. Giffey bests him at 55-109 on the year. They really can't be left alone outside. They do get some of the same set up at the three point line with pick and pops...

    Great threads at The Boneyard...UCONN message boards

    Yes is the simple answer. Two teams that play at a quicker pace will likely be more efficient than two teams playing a deliberate pace. Usually because it means the two faster teams are playing against defenses that aren't set. Still one of the reasons to look at points per possession is...

    Kenpom has North Carolina Central as the 91st best defense.

    Great threads at The Boneyard...UCONN message boards

    UL isn't a great comparison though. UL also has a top 5-10 defense. ULs offense is predicated on its defense turning you over first and then using their small/quick guards to get around the defense. ISU has fantastic guards but more in the strong/big mold than small and quick. I'm not saying...

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    I can, it's called massive amounts of beer :yes:. That dunk was absurd and embarrassing. Seriously last post.

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    I like the offense ISU runs, its fun to watch. Last post, good luck versus UK, you guys are going to need it, they can be a very scary team. Hope your shooters are on. Hope you guys do well until UConn meets you again.

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    I wasn't trash-talking. I was giving my analysis of your players strengths and weaknesses. They do have weaknesses. Don't take my saying, "Royce isn't an all-star yet" as a slight. I mean he has the potential to be one in the future. Sorry if that wasn't clear. As to Babb, Lamb was 5-14...

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    OK, missed the first sentence of yours, that was actually meant to be a complement, meaning he has the potential to be one. But if you want to see overhype? "Also White may be shorter by an inch than these guys but I think they're all going to figure out how strong White is especially when...

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    I know, and that is what every UConn fan was scared of coming into the game, though I kept seeing everyone hyping up Royce. As I stated before the game, I would have much preferred Royce get dunk after dunk than ISU's 3PT shooters go off like they did in the first 10 minutes. As to the open...

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    They are lottery picks. Now we can argue all night long on whether they will be good NBA players, but lottery picks they are (or will be). Unfortunately, NBA drafting is based more on potential than on production. They played the same as all year. Very talented/athletic but very...

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    They were expectations built on ISU fans' hype. It would have been about 35-40. You guys made Royce out to be Lebron and Babb to be Pippen. Neither are, they are both still very good. Honestly, Royce did less damage than your 3PT shooters.

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    if only because of how much you guys hyped him. Did you miss that part. This in essence means that if I hadn't come here, or read all the stuff you guys said about him, I would not have been disappointed. Royce still has a lot of work to meet the build up YOU guys gave him. He is...

    Lamb Says Defense Nothing Special

    Please read the whole post before responding. Congrats on the win. ISU had a great gameplan coming in, executed it to perfection and UConn did not. First, Royce White. I was a tad disappointed in his game, if only because of how much you guys hyped him. He is a tremendous rebounder and...

    UConn's size upfront

    If Roscoe is defending Royce, Royce should post him up. Seriously, Roscoe is thin. Against Drummond or Oriakhi, what you suggest seems like the best option. Royce could probably do either against Olander.

    UConn's size upfront

    UConn has been starting a frontline of 6'9, 6'9, 6'11 (Drummond is 6'11 not 6'10, he might actually be a full 7'0). The backcourt is 6'5, 6'1 with 5'9 off the bench. ISU has Royce at 6'8, Christopherson at 6'3, Allen at 6'3, Ejim at 6'6, Babb at 6'5, McGee at 6'2 as ISU's top 6. UConn...
