Jenksismyhero Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) I havent watched every second of their games this year, but has Weber tried to run a 2-3 zone defense yet? Against either Richmond or Illinois State he pulled out either a 2-3 or a 1-3-1. Lasted about 2 minutes and I think it was just until he could get some fresh guys in the game.

It would favor his young squad and keep people out of the paint with a big shot blocker. oh and this guy thinks coach K is full of s***, and the Big Ten is the best conference in america http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...lege-basketball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 How many times did they say Cody Zeller during this game? I only caught the last 5 minutes, and i think they thought he was playing. Even Anthony Davis at the end of the game... "UNC has some good players in Jon Henson and Cody Zeller"... it's not that hard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was probably a minimum of 8 draft picks in that game today, just awesome talent all around. Anthony Davis is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game overall, Roy just blew it again with horrendous subs and no timeouts as usual. He's unbelievably frustrating to watch. Fantastic recruiter, good game preparation, but completely over his head during games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He_Gawn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Both teams are incredible. Hope we can give UK a game next week. I think Teague will get rattled by the crowd. He's going to try to do too much trying to put it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Illinois playing well against Gonzaga, as Richardson's rebounded from his terrible season last year. The Zags defense is awful...no one gets less from more than Few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nice comeback for Xavier on Purdue. Down 16 late in the second half and Holloway went nuts from 3. I noticed that Holloway carries the ball on every dribble though. I wish they would call that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they called that, there'd be 100 turnovers a game. Brandon Paul was doing it all day in the Illinois game, and I was happy they didn't call it.

However Griffey please stop chucking threes. He only took three, i'm fine with that. Normally he's good for one a game. Great win. This is starting to look a pretty good team. They're not going to run you out of the gym, but they never give up and they continue making plays. So far I think every run another team has had they've met and overcome, a very good sign. Also, while I love Leonard's potential (15 foot fadeaways from a 7'1" guy, seriously?), he needs to get his head out of his ass and just play the game. He's far too concerned with the refs or showboating to the crowd. It's becoming a trend in just about every game so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's not his game. He took a ton against Maryland too. He seems to just get it there and shoot it regardless of how much time is on the clock or if he can dribble drive or pass off it. Don't need him shooting threes until he gets his one a game, not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Weber coached a great game today. Not that Few is a great counterpart, but Weber was pretty much perfect for what he had to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 4th Gonzaga game I've watched and this game was the worst they've looked by far in my opinion.....and could've still easily won it. Only December though, a lot can happen for both teams.

My view of the game is probably skewed because I was flipping back and forth between football and this game haha. But Illinois' post players seemed to do a great job all around when I was watching. Pretty sure Gonzaga hasn't gone up against size like that all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois was in control the entire 2nd half even with every one of their big men being in foul trouble. They missed easy shots/layups in the paint. Plus only going 18/27 from the line. They usually do a better job from the free throw line. Also seemed like everytime Gonzaga had a run and cut it within 2 or so, Illinois answered back with a run of their own.
