6 in the tourney? This year's team? We'll see about that.

I hear ya. Our lack of a true post presence leaves us vulnerable every game. Our elite backcourt also makes every game highly winnable.

I said 3 games in the NCAA tourney... which would be Calipari's EARLIEST exit from NCAA play in 10 straight appearances (has made Elite 8 in 9 straight NCAA births).

OH I somehow read 6 in tourney, 3 in conference.

Also the earliest exit story is kinda iffy IMO, as it's disregarding the NIT year ;)
So ye, it's possible. Idk if it's likely that he'll break the 3 pointer record. Nice narrative to follow though.

This is exhausting.
Whatever.
 
Personally this year's NCAA tourney seems very uninteresting to me. Usually I have a couple teams/players that I really like to follow for different reasons. Not so much this year yet.
The player that has swayed me most to keep the stream open is Hield so far, but whenever they have an early game, someone else is having the biggest impact individually that night. Somehow anticlimactic.
 
This UConn vs Cincinnati game is pretty crazy. 10/10 on the drama scale. Also pretty watchable. Solid spacing from both teams.

Is no one worried about Jamal Murray having an 8'1 standing reach as a NBA SG? He is nearly identical to Randy Foye in measurements (Murray has a inch more head height).

Maybe that's a bad measurement?

Just for ****s and giggs, I looked at the standing reach for the better shooting guards in the league.

Wade: 8'6"
Harden: 8'7.5"
Derozan: 8'6.5"
Butler: 8'5.5"
Thompson: 8'7.5"
Wiggins: 8'11"
McCollum:8'0.5"

So he perhaps best compares to CJ. Food for thought. It's a legit concern. Does CJ blow on defense like Lillard does? That said, Exum, Hayward, Favors and Gobert are all above average. Hopefully Hood and Lyles improve...so having one shaky defender wouldn't be the end of the world.
 
Murray continuing what he's been doing...

23pts tonight (11th straight 20+ game - averaging 25/game)
5-9 from 3

only 16 3's from Curry's record..

Also, and I think you've mentioned this before Cy, but Murray's standing reach ws 8'4.5" in 2014...then 8'2.5" last year...weird...I wonder if lifting and becoming more muscualr can shorten this somehow?
