yeah definitely missing Robert’s more than I would’ve expected with Cenac coming in. When the game got grindy, he had a surprisingly reliable post/back to the basket bag. Cenac is obviously more physically gifted, but his offense isn’t as advanced as I thought it might be - would love to see him on the team another year but he’ll probably be a first round pick regardless.
I like Cenac's Tim Duncan haircut. Now if only he could develop TD's game... That high-release bank shot was unstoppable.
Don't think it is a matter of advanced. I think it is more of a difference in style of play. Jwan was comfortable and liked to play with his back to the basket whereas Cenac plays almost 100% of the time facing the basket. I think the most physical we will see Cenac play will be follow up dunks, alley oops, and properly threaded passes like KF set him up with a couple of times last night. I would love for him to develop an inside game similar to Jwan's where he backs his defender down but it does not appear to be something he is comfortable doing. He has the size and I would think the coaching staff has tried to work with him on it. Adding an inside game to his mid range jumpers would make him and the team better. Hope he can figure it out but I think like KF he is gone after this year.
Damn, I can never find this thread! Great game last night. Got some revenge on TT on national TV and did it in the Phi Slama Jama unis. They should make those the full time unis IMO.
we have to enjoy this season cause we might be looking at replacing the entire starting 5 next season the time to win a natty is now
This would be a muh HASSIVE get And if not, this would be another muh HASSIVE get ... his teammate at Prolific Prep (Jalen Green's alma mater) Getting both could cause structural issues at UH. lol.
This was more of our classic game with suffocating defense and questionable scoring, but the difference was The nba talent to reliably close. If we can keep up the D, the offense should come around and make us as difficult to beat like last year. Not there yet, but looking better.
I'm still debating if there's some Anthony Davis in there somewhere... https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/cougar-basketball.251925/page-642#post-15993322
sumbitch...I get about every sports network known to man except apparently the NBCSN...and the roku on the tv where I'm at crapped out a few weeks ago. ...and peacock's website won't let me sign in on the desktop. Guess I'm watching on the phone. Assholes.
Good read about the various conferences, here's the Big12 part: Favorite: Arizona Wildcats (46.2%) The most loaded conference title race belongs to the Big 12, with four teams -- Arizona, Iowa State, Houston and BYU -- all ranked in the top 10 nationally, with a combined 58-2 record. With Arizona ranked No. 1 in the latest AP Top 25 and edging ahead of Iowa State in both KenPom and the BPI, the Wildcats are the narrow favorites. Unsurprisingly, BPI gives them less than a 50% chance to end the season as the regular-season champs, coming in at 46.2% with Iowa State just behind at 43.2%. Arizona owns the best résumé in the country -- No. 1 in ESPN's strength of record -- with wins over UConn, Florida, Alabama, UCLA, Auburn and San Diego State. The first four of those wins came away from home, too. The Wildcats are ranked inside the top 10 at both ends of the floor and have incredible depth and balance up front and in the backcourt. It's worth noting that Tommy Lloyd's team faces Iowa State only once, and that game is in Tucson. The Wildcats play Houston on the road and have BYU both home and away. Biggest threats Iowa State Cyclones Houston Cougars BYU Cougars Iowa State is one of just six unbeaten teams left in college basketball, and the Cyclones own perhaps the most impressive singular win of the season, going to West Lafayette and beating then-undefeated Purdue by 23 points. They also went 3-0 at the Players Era Festival and held serve against in-state rival Iowa. Joshua Jefferson has been a breakout star and is playing like an All-American, Milan Momcilovic has a case as the best shooter in the country, and Tamin Lipsey has been playing like Tamin Lipsey. Houston hasn't quite hit its stride yet, but the Cougars are still 14-1 with a top-10 defense. It's impossible to count out a Kelvin Sampson-coached team that has one of the best backcourts in the country in star freshman Kingston Flemings and veterans Milos Uzan and Emanuel Sharp. Houston plays each of the other three top contenders once apiece but faces BYU and Iowa State on the road. BYU has as talented and explosive a trio as there is in college basketball in AJ Dybantsa, Richie Saunders and Robert Wright III. All three can take over a game, and Dybantsa is a viable threat to Cameron Boozer in the National Player of the Year race. Arizona, Houston and Iowa State all have to go to the Marriott Center. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...ggest-threats-sec-big-ten-big-12-acc-big-east
