Georgetown, Nova, and UConn all struggling with much lesser opponents right now.

Gonna take about 2 full seasons for me to begin to doubt a Hurley team.

But the 10ish minutes I watched the half court offense did not look smooth.

Of course its game 1 and when they play a team with a pulse when it matters, will probably be a well oiled machine.

I'll be surprised if this is a multi-bid league this year

But Im interested if Nova is even much better with Dixon then without.

Through 10 minutes their offense is basically Dixon 85% of the time. Which has every other player render essentially useless outside of the occasional foul drawn when dribble probing.

I'm also not sure this is even a bad strategy for Neptune. When your job is on the line might as well live or die with the best player collecting social security.

Unleash Ramsey on Dixon

I remember Xavier going up 10-0 on UConn in the Big East quarters and Hurley wasn't even fazed. They won by 27.

Nova down 56-55 and Dixon has 29

Might want to try and let some other players participate.

While i understand the sentiment, it looks like they have a dearth of other options right now.  If he didn't have 29 I think they are being blown out right now.

Idk. When I watched the first half. When he sat, they went on a little run and built a lead as Longino and the big guy got going. Popular hit one

Columbia got hot at the same time. Then Dixon came in and everything went through him again.

Its kinda like I said in my first post. I'm leaning towards it being close a wash. Without him, they are less talented but everyone is involved. With him its Dixon vs the opponent.

Dixon is 10/15 and 5/7 from 3. The rest of the team is 10/30 and 4/16 from 3. They should probably NOT let anyone else participate.

Does Neptune make it through the season?

Wrong.

Lol. If the facts don't agree with you just yell "Wrong."

Did you expect UConn to struggle for the full 40?

This conference sucks outside of the top 4

Most non-triumphant.

The facts of what?

You're right. Every single team should just feed their best player. Nova is proving it works well.

People never bitch about Markus ball.

Its great coaching. Have everyone stand and watch. Play the final minute hoping to keep the home loss to Columbia under 10

Sure. Have the rest of the squad that is shooting 33% take more shots because you don't want your dude shooting 66% to take too many.

You nailed it on Markus though. Once he was finally gone Wojo's teams were awesome.

Yeah the facts state always run through one guy

The facts state that when not playing through Dixon for 30 minutes straight, Poplar was terrible. And Nova lost.

Lafayette isn't factually only like 17 spots worse than Columbia entering tonight.

Facts are in your words never let other guys shoot. Just let one guys shoot. It works.

Facts.

Villanova may just be bad.  I was flipping between big East games so I did not see all of the Villanova game but nothing stood out as efficient or good except for Dixon.  The point guard kept throwing the ball away on inbounds passes.  They were terrible against the zone.  Their defense gave up over 80 points.  No one stood out.  I was trying to give Neptune the benefit of the doubt but he looks like a really average to bad coach.  Villanova has to make a move sooner rather than later.  Has to be painful for their fans after two Nattys and a final four so recently.

Kalkbrenner shooting 3s as part of the offense.

Correct. But their problem was Eric Dixon shot the ball too much. He was 11/16 and 5/7 from 3. Should've let guys like Wuga shoot the ball more. He really took over when Dixon was on the bench. Really efficient 6/14 night for him. Maybe let Longino get going. 4/13, just not enough attempts for a guy like that. Dixon wouldn't let anyone else touch the rock. Sad.

UTRGV is giving the Jays some probs.   

Kalky has gone straight medieval.
