College Basketball Thread

Duke playing lazy and Auburn is solid. Terrible on 3’s and poor at ft line

First time on this thread in 2 weeks, but just wanted to say that I find it much easier to dunk off two feet on a break than one. I can get about 2.5 inches higher off two feet; only ever dunk off one if I need to beat someone to the rim. I’ve also never really considered where someone lands after the dunk to have anything to do with the dunk itself, but maybe that’s just me. Mark me as another vote for unimpressed by the posted Zion dunk. 

Also could easily see this Duke team going 40-0.

Can you get 2 1/2 inches higher going at fast break speed?

Harper can shoot it 

Bolden was Duke’s top guy in this game

Harper looks like Steph Curry...damn

Is the court smaller?

No. Just all the different lines and the gym basically being the size of a medium size high school makes it seem that way.

Yes, only reason people don’t do it more often is it allows the defender to gain a step while you gather, IMO.

Gonzaga is the type that could knock off Duke. Duke better shoot better than yesterday

This game is good

A lot of really good players!

Gonzaga looks to be the more disciplined team that does the small things better.

Duke not good on free throw and defense isn’t great. Zaga needs to quit fouling Barrett on those tough finishes

Gonzaga is really, really good. Playing without one of their best players too. 

Bolden, arguably their best player yesterday has done nothing. Duke has nothing to defend the drive in the paint

Zags putting on a clinic on both ends. I didn’t stay up last night as Zona was up 13 in early 2nd half. Zags won by 13 and haven’t stopped yet.

How was UK #2 to start season? What was that based on?

Duke finally gave good defensive effort the final 2 minutes

Few really has a great thing going

Duke looks like 18 year olds in an AAU playing against a well oiled machine.

Zion misses a dunk lol

We’ll see what Garrett, Zion, Reddish and Jones are made of...if they can ever figure out defense

Some crazy NBA athleticism out there on both teams
