Watch out for St Johns, they are going to make a lot of noise in the big east this year
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
I'm real curious on Ben Howland in his second year @ Mississippi State fter getting a solid recruiting class with six 4-stars and a 3.
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
Mid-Major Top 25 is out:
Zaga & St. Mary's are 1 & 2, as expected, with Wichita State at 3. Valpraiso is #8 but got a first place vote.
Long Beach is #10, which is a solid showing for a Big West side. Shocked Grand Canyon is so low though.
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
CSUN starts off the year with a 94-75 exhibition win over Cal State LA.
The offense was flowing real well, I really like Aaron Parks & Kendall Smith in the backcourt. Do like our chances of winning the BW and making the Big Dance. Nearly upset #2 Memphis last time, and will continue Hawaii's run and upset someone this year!
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
I know its just Pacific, but UCLA has looked sexy.
Ball looks smooth, Aaron is balling off the bench.
Ball with 13 points on 4-6, including 2 threes and 5 times, no turnovers.
Bryce has 17 on 5-8 including 3-5 from three.
Aaron with 15 on 5-8 with 3-4 from three.
So ****ing sexy
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
Game 1: 19 Points | 8 Rebounds | 11 Assists | 2 Steals | 1 Turnover on 6-8 Shooting, 3-4 3PT Shooting, 4-5 FT Shooting
Ball is Life indeed.
CSUN raping Cal Pomona-Pitzer, no surprise there. Think they'll put up a legit fight against UCLA on Sunday, but lose by like 14.
Arizona had a great win for the Pac, just a bit after losing Ray Smith and still, no word on Allonzo Trier.
SC down 14-4 against Montana :facepalm
Cal Poly SLO coming back against Pepperdine, while the rest of the Big West playing D1 teams sucking it up
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
I think the only real shocker was Uconn. WTF happened there?
Re: 2016/17 Observation Deck
Fultz had a horrible debut half against Yale, picked it up during the second half early though.
USC losing to Omaha early on :facepalm

Beating Kentucky two years in a row, as they are ranked #1.

Leaf is so incredibly impressive.
I know it's a stretch but his game is Larry Bird-esqu.
Maybe not the passing aspect but his rebounding and offensive skills look a lot like him.
