Diamond Head Classic OFFICIAL Thread

McDaniels and Green having great games. Think Quade is going to be a lot better than we thought a month ago.

When you are shooting 66% from 3, 100% free throws, and only 3 TOs but are only winning by 5 in the second half, that's a problem

yeah...no longer

Yeah interesting stat line. Near the end of the first half. We started running the ball and playing in transition and went on a run. Not sure why we don't push the ball more with all the athletes we have.

Crazy to say, but I think we abandon the zone going forward.

Offense was at it's best all year.

Ball St. is a good opponent... ESPN only gave us like a 54% chance to win the game and we won by 20+.

If Quade and Jaden shoot like that the rest of the year we're really, really good.

Quade has really shown up the last couple games! Seems he needed a few games to get comfortable.

Ball state is a Good opponent!!!

Ball state is a Good opponent!!!

So is Texas Southern!!

Ball state is a Good opponent!!!

They are top 150 net ranking. Which is a quad 3 win. Same with Hawaii. What we need is Houston to win which is 44 in net right now. And of course to beat Hawaii and Houston. Houston would be a quad 1 win if they stay in top 50.

Ball state is a Good opponent!!!

Ball State is serious about basketball

No one tried to seriously claim Texas Southern as a good win, is the difference.

I didn't say it was a "good win" cum stain, I said that Ball St. is a good opponent who we beat by 20+. They're a decent basketball team expected to finish near the top of their conference.

Oregon almost lost to Texas Southern who was 3-9...

See the difference? Jesus.

Net, RPI, KenPom, and Sagarin all disagree with you. Quad 3 is "good". Quad 4 is "shit". Quad 2 is "pretty good". Quad 1 is "great". HTH

Horrific game vs Hawaii so far

So 75% of teams are classified as good? Sure

Have we finally figured out Stewart will make every shot if we get him the ball?

That's not how the quads work. They aren't 25% each. You have to be top 150 out of over 300 on nuetral court for quad 3.

Well they are 128. So sure.

And last part of first half and most of this half we have been pushing the ball and playing better. Weird.

Still too many dumb turnovers tho. And we can't rebound this half. For some reason.

This crowd is dumb.

PostGameOrangeSlices

Damn this is chippy

Stewart is already one of my favorite players ever.

This crowd is dumb.

Other than living in paradise rather than the many shitholes of the lower 48.......

Uw is getting a pass for how terrible they have played this evening. Passive would be the nicest way i can say it. Their record will not translate to pac12 schedule as they are playing

Hawaii shot 39 3's... one dude was 1-17... their strategy was literally to clank 3's and hope they could get enough offensive rebounds to stay in it.

I'll give Hawaii credit, they knew they couldn't match up physically, so they did literally everything else to try and pull this one out.

I thought UW did a nice job keeping their head's together... at the end of the day they made Hawaii look like the chumps they were trying to bate us to be.
