100% not the reason sparty will lose but wow there are a lot of weird out of bounds calls, that are fairly obvious, not going our way

Edit* or calls in general I guess lol

Definitely not. I don't think he's a good shooter in general but I think he's a solid player.
I don't hate him like a lot of people do.
Yea I don't really understand the hate.... He did what he thought was best for him, can't blame him for that. I am sure he realizes now with the success of our program that the maybe made a poor decision but still hope the best for him.

Now we get Dayton (and as long as we play anything like last night we "should" win), we then play Colorado.
so we get two mid teir games and you hope to God we don't lose any.
This is the exact same thing that happened last time in Maui. We **** the bed in the first game then played 2 bad teams that didn't help our resume at all that year.

Dayton made it to the round of 32 last year but i also know they lost their best player as a lottery pick so not sure how good they'll be.

They’re playing like an NCAA tournament team early on this season. It really seems like there are 8 teams that could make the tournament in Maui this year. I’m not going to fret about the record coming out of this. The experience will equal wins later.

On the flip side, it would be a major let down to leave Maui 0-3 (we play UConn if we lose). Even 1-2 would be somewhat of a disappointment. Its a long season and lots of time to fix things, but that's really disappointing for a top 5 team.

Still one half to go though. Lots of time left to get this one.

Flagg is good but he turned it over late again just like a few games ago. He is good, but duke is relying a ton on freshman. I don’t see how that bodes well for them this year.

I can see it paying off and them peaking in March just in time for a run.

Dayton is not a bad team. Weird take.
