College Basketball 2021-22 Open Discussion

Seems notable. Although apparently this has been the case and just kept under wraps.

If anyone watched the SMU-Memphis game while waiting for Purdue IU you got to see possibly the worst 4 minutes of college basketball ever. 4-0 SMU. 5 turnovers by Memphis. And they’ve managed to not turn it over the last minute

Have the admissions department tell him his credits won’t transfer? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

He’s going to be a good player…but the drama makes you wonder if it is worth it.

I say yes. He will go for 50 when he faces Izzo. It may take him 75 to 80 shots to get those 50 points but I believe he can do it.

In the midst of a very disappointing season and losing with high expectations you can go two routes.

Juwan: We aren’t where we should be now, but we are continuing to fight. I’m with my team in the trenches we all can grow and get better. “Roll up the sleeves and get to work”

And then there’s Penny…

Safe to say that even though our team may be down our Michigan Culture is still as high as ever.

which roster is Emoni Bates on in three years?

He has elite freshmen but also experienced players on his roster.

In fairness to Penny, his two best upperclassmen (probably overall players) were out

Absolutely. Am frequently delighted that Juwan is the way he is.

I can understand that Memphis is going to struggle with Williams and Nolley out for the last few games especially against an experienced team like SMU but outside of their hot start they have been a disaster all season and their struggles can all be traced back to Penny’s absolutely horrible coaching. He is a good recruiter of individual players but he has no clue of roster construction. His distribution of playing time makes no sense. His in game substitutions are weird as hell. He seems to have no sense of who plays well together. Worst of all, he seems to sabotage his team after every game by blaming different groups of players. Three weeks ago he was blaming the veterans for the struggles of the Freshman.

Yeah. Everything about this is exactly what it looks like it is. Not gonna end well.

In some obscure Italian league.

Emoni Bates’ version of PG play is to dribble across the time line and jack up a three or drive one on 5 and force up a shot. He’s not the only one to jack up bad shots, either. It’s like some AAU squads where, if you pass the ball, you never get it back so everyone shoots. Duren is not utilized much. Can’t believe that he’s happy.
