That was one of the most fun wins I've seen in a long time

Down 68-52 with 7:19 left, we went on a 31-11 run to win 83-79

unreal

Cuonzo is so, so, so bad at coaching. Not that Cal's situation improved at all when we got rid of him, but man

Duke, Florida and Michigan St seem like the pretty clear top 3 in the country

Unless Florida is just running hot at shooting (which doesn’t seem like the case based on other games) they’re really good

I really like Villanova and Wichita State. Think they are as good as any team in the nation.

I haven't watched Texas A&M this season, but they are off to a ridiculous start

I thought Florida would go back to being irrelevant after losing Billy Donovan. Got to give them a lot of credit for the Mike White hire.

Doesnt it seem like Florida just packs 4 guys into the paint whenever Carter or Bagley gets it? Surprised Duke doesn't get more open 3's off that.

Bagley seems too good for college basketball. How was this guy supposed to still be in high school? Guy would’ve been even more unfair a year from now if he put on 15 pounds and got better at shooting

So much fail from Florida in that last minute. Hate to say it but Bagley is the real deal.

I'm pretty sure Okafor was a lock NBA HOFer at this point in his Dook career. Bagley has good footwork and touch but see my first point.

Okafor moved like tectonic plates and demonstrated zero clue off the ball from the jump. Bagley moves much more like Tatum for a defensive comp.

I'm much more impressed with Bagley than Okafor in college. There is just a fluidity that Bagley has that Okafor didn't.

****ing high chance Duke has the #1 draft pick for the next two drafts. Damn it all.

You're probably right but it didnt take very long for people to start realizing Okafor was awful defensively. Towns and DAR were permanently ahead of him before January iirc.

Bagley does seem like he'll be alot better as a college player than he actually is a prospect. He's going to continue scoring and rebounding at will vs college teams. I can see why people dont think his game will translate to the league where he isnt just bigger, quicker, and jumps higher than everyone. For a large portion of the night, he was being guarded by a 6'5 guy.

Most of it was CDL (trolling/unaware) and DannyOcean (lol).

show me where I said Okafor would be good at defense in the NBA or even have a well rounded game. I will stand by the fact that he could score at will in college due to his size and skillset. I will also stand by the fact that he was actually a very good college player.

They wrecked us without half their dudes and looked like the Monstars. Snap maxed out on them at 100-1
