I didn't start watching unitl
I didn't start watching unitl
I didn't start watching unitl the second half but Temple is looking very good in this game (sounds like some Syracuse pressure got to them though in this second half). The touted Carter-Williams only has two field goals in this game thus far (along with six free throws).

1 Seed
1 Seed
I wonder how many games we could lose and still get a 1 seed. MSU got one with 7 losses last year, but they had a tougher non conference and won the big ten tourney.
Tremendous!

If we win the B1G after going
If we win the B1G after going
If we win the B1G after going undefeated in noncon we'll get a 1 seed however many losses we have. With the depth this year the winner could definitely pile up half a dozen losses or more.
Whatcha gonna do, little brother?

Michael Carter-Williams did not play the game of the best pg in the nation that many of you have argued he is...
3/15 fg, 7/15 ft, 4 asst and 3 turnovers. Granted he is allowed to have off games but he is not as flawless as many have argued.

I'd give some credit to Temple's defence...Coach Fran Dunphy is good and knows what he is doing.

Also, they just lost to canisius handily so I'm not sure if you can only point to his coaching. If anything, mcw just had a crappy game.

Ridiculous analysis
Ridiculous analysis
Teams ave bad losses in men's basketball and Canisius was certainly that. Dunphy, like Chaney before him has been a consistent 20 plus wins and tourney team over the years.
Syracuse lost when Temple controlled the second half and handled their press. That's coaching.

I still can't decide if we got the better end of the Morgan/Nix deal. Nix shows flashes, but so does JMo. I guess having 1 more year for Morgan is the tie breaker at this point.
December 22nd, 2012 at 4:56 PM |
Good thing is, the way JMo
Good thing is, the way JMo
Good thing is, the way JMo runs the floor, Nix will only last a few possessions on the court before he is gassed. Also, Texas has not bodied him up on defense, making him look a bit better than he is. He is certainly a better offensive player in the half court than Morgan is, but he will have a tough time matching up with him over the course of a game.
Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.
