2024-2025 NCAA College Basketball Thread - Huskers take the Crown! Also Florida did something. (2 Viewers)

Well that sucks. But Auburn is really good.

And great first season in the Dusty May era - second in the Big Ten regular season, Big Ten Tournament Champs, and Sweet Sixteen. When he arrived at MI, there were two players on the roster leftover from a team that won 8 games last season.

The future is bright.
 
One of the greatest inbound plays I've ever seen.
Great play call but why don’t you cover the passer on an inbound pass under your basket. I understand doing it on a sideline play but not under your basket.
Never mind. Just saw the replay. The guy covering the inbounder had to switch off him to help on the guy that was passed to who came free off a screen. Makes the play call even better.

Yep was just watching Jay Wright talk about it and he was saying Purdue has been doing that all year. Houston totally set them up.
 
28-6 War Eagle run
Actually the 20-2 part looks better. Michigan was up 48 - 39. Auburn got to 49 first and never looked back. UM scored 2 points in @ 6-minutes.

Down 9, Pearl was franticly clapping trying to get his guys going but looking a little worried and you could definitely see concern on his player's faces. Then the biggest play of the game, imo.

Pettiford came off a screen and took what looked like an ill-advised shot from deep, like NBA range, straight away. And drilled it. I'd guess that shot had like a 20% chance of going in. If he misses it, Michigan continues, in control with a chance to go up 11 or even 12. Instead, it's a 6 point game (big swing). Then UM turns it over and we go to a TV TO, where Auburn rightfully gathers themselves.

Coming out of the TO, they nail another 3 and just like that, the lead's only 3 and the run was on. All after that one shot, they took momentum and never came close to letting go. Crazy. Meanwhile, UM became totally unglued, also going from 2 fouls to 7 during that pivotal stretch.


What a massive shot by Pettiford.

Didn't watch the game but wondering if, and how much, they ran any screen the screener action under their own basket. You are really susceptible to those two man isos and STS under the basket and have to involve the inbounder's defender on either a guy coming off a screen or a shape up. It looks like they may have been anticipating STS as the secondary action takes a beat longer and allows the defender to get back to the inbounder.

Kelvin said they practiced that play quite a bit in their pregame. They knew Purdues tendencies and exploited them perfectly.

Good point, I remember seeing this too.

I’m just happy Purdue came back from that 10 point deficit with 8 minutes to go. I thought the writing was on the wall at that point. They were completely overmatched physically so hats off to Purdue for their defense, game plan and effort. Amazing that Braden Smith assisted on every single made basket of the second half. 11 assists in the second half. Should be interesting to see if this core group returns. Furst is the only senior and he was not very good.

Saw a clip on Tiktok where you can see the guy covering the inbounder cheat away more throughout the game. Brilliant call from Kelvin.

I thought Bama offered best shot to beat Duke. And Duke just held them to 65. They just shut off the paint.

Id have liked to see last year's UConn team vs this Duke one
 
Williard's gone to Villanova, according the The Athletic.

Maryland has no AD and no head basketball coach. They'll lose Queen to the draft. Reese & Miguel are out of eligibility. I wouldn't be surprised if Gillespie and Rice (among others) transfer out. That team is liable to be really, really bad next year.
