I live out west and get to see a lot of Pac 12 games. Wanted to start a thread to discuss other games around the country. I find it interesting as they are teams we may have to face in the tournament.
UCLA lost to Illinios yesterday by 9. They look a bit thin up front with the top 25 freshman Bona their only decent big man. Jaquez and Tyger Campbell took 45 shots between them. Their top 10 freshman Amari Baily only had one point.
The Washington Huskies lost at home to California Baptist. Ouch. This is a terrible loss. Coach Hopkins may be on the hot seat if the Huskies fail to reach the postseason again.
Gonzaga got blown out at Texas this week. Their PG Hickman is not playing well and they seem to miss Holmgren more than expected. Malichi Smith, a SG transfer has been a disappointment so far and looks a step slow. I believe he was the top SG transfer prospect. Zags play Kentucky Sunday out in Spokane. It is a must win for both teams as Kentucky is coming off a loss to Michigan State.
Arizona State blew out Michigan this week. Good win for Hurley.
Syracuse lost to Colgate this week at home. Again. Ouch. I took a peek at their board and it's ugly. The general sentiment is that JB has outworn his welcome. Their freshman class is good, but not really instant impact guys. Girard is a huge liability on defense. There is a thread titled "burn it all down this is rock bottom" with 11 pages of comments.
Henry Coleman is averaging 14 and 9 for Texas A&M. They did lose this week after being ranked in the top 20. Coleman is a load down low and plays hard but still looks raw on offense. He looks like a good college player but probably not an NBA guy. Brakefield not doing much for Ole Miss. He had 7 in a win this week. he is averaging 8 and 4 on the season. I thought he would be a double digit scorer by now.
