Wichita is playing depaul on cbs sports network right now. They look very athletic. Iowa plays wku immediately after.

I watched a fair amount of WSU's win at VCU. They're long, athletic, and quick. They beat DePaul without too much difficulty tonight, if the box score is any indication. I think they play Iowa next, assuming an Iowa win. If that happens, they'll give Iowa all they want, or should if they play remotely well.

Wichita seems like a horrible matchup for iowa. Wku is pretty decent though. Iowa is only favored by a few.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

The thing about WSU that really impressed me is they won at VCU, in one of the first games of the year, in a really hostile environment. If I remember correctly, they also don't have a lot of returning experience, making it even more impressive. During the last 10 minutes or so, they answered VCU every time they tried to get back in the game. If they play that way, Iowa and a lot of other teams will be in trouble.

I watched portions of this game. Basabe from Iowa played real tough on both ends of the floor. He was a shot blocking machine, and will be a real challenge for us and anyone else they play. So was Akol was from WKU. He rejected Basabe, May, Woodbury, etc., etc.

WSU looked okay in tonights game. Hall is a great player inside, but if he gets matched up against someone who is bigger than him, he will be in trouble. He is a strong player, but he basically was using offensive foul techniques to get his shot off tonight. Also if Armestead & Williams are not hitting from outside, they are not very good.

They struggled to put away Depaul tonight, and DePaul could not throw it in the ocean for the longest time. DePaul has a LONG ways to go, they are not very good and they are looking at a bottom finish.

WSU is athletic and their press is tough, but they play physical which could get them in trouble if refs do not allow them to play that style.

What time is the tip for UNI vs Louisville on Thursday?

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Could be wrong, but I think our tip vs. Louisville is 8:30 PM CST.

BTW, did anyone hear that some kid from Grinnell scored a NCAA record 130ish points tonight? I haven't heard many details, other than he hit 20 plus three-pointers, but took an ungodly amount of shots to do it. I have a hard time fathoming what kind of pace it would take for a single player to put up those numbers in 2 - 20 minute halves.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Jack Taylor of Grinnell scored an NCAA record 138 points tonight on 108 shot attempts. He averaged a shot every 20 seconds.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Wonder how his teamates feel about this? I'm sure being on ESPN was neat, but he chucked a ton of shots in the two previous games also. 18 shots in 11 minutes in game one, and 23 shots in 16 minutes in game two.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Doesn't Grinnell play some weird style? I have a buddy who refs college basketball and he said when he reffed one of their games, they literally played 3 guys on offense, and the two other guys stayed at the defensive end? He said they would never let the shot clock get below 20 seconds, they were shooting some DEEP 3's and also forcing some bad shots. Is this normal?

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Yes, their goal is to have every shot take no more than 7 seconds. Offensively and Defensively.

The hope is that the other team will fall into their track meet and die down the stretch. Grinnell also makes line changes at every dead ball. Ideally, they want to win every game 150-125 with each team getting as close to 200 shots as possible. Its wild, but it has worked for them.

If I were a high school coach, it is the exact system I would run, you can really overcome a lack of talent...
