OU is solid; Blake Griffin is outstanding

[TennNC]

As a Davidson fan, I am thoroughly impressed with Griffin. He's clearly worlds more physically gifted than anyone Davidson could throw out there, but he's also got a very, very high bball IQ.

There's not much he hasn't done tonight against a smaller but still very tough Davidson front line.

btw, Curry is having an off-night, and he still has nearly 40 against a top-15 team. If our big men had hit some FTs and Curry had made a couple more shots earlier in the game, this could easily have gone down to the wire.

 

[TennNC]

check that.

3 pt game with about :40 left.

Can a career high really be called an off night?

Edit: Shulman just called it an off night, too

Curry just pulled a 3 out of his rear....to pull within 3 with just under a minute to go. Griffin was defending him at the time....crazy.

 

[TennTradition]

oooo....they needed the rebound there...Griffin probably sealed it.

 

[TennNC]

And Fraschilla just called it like it is: Davidson is hanging in there while not playing very well overall.

ballgame. tough game for the cats.

 

[emainvol]

Good game.

Curry's probably gonna shoot those types of percentages throughout the season because people are going to make him tough shots every night.

He's a much better shooter than that, but when you have limited options, the horse just has to work too hard and take too many shots.

Griffin is a hoss and looks like the odds on #1 choice next spring.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Hard to say who the #1 pick is right now, but its not gonna be griffin. He's a top 10

who's going higher? He was probably 3 if he came out last year. Guys his size that athletic don't come along very often.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Hard to say, but it won't be him

 

[BigPapaVol]

Hard to say, but it won't be him

why is it hard to say? there are only a couple of other options.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

way to early to call the #1 pick

I simply said he was the odds on favorite. Unless somebody just blows the doors off of it or a team without a beastly PF need ends up on top, then he's likely the guy.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

He's a great player, I just don't see it happening

 

[BigPapaVol]

He's a great player, I just don't see it happening

again, I ask you who's going to top him?

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Way to early to call

 

[BigPapaVol]

I'll take that as a "I have no idea."

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

take it anyway you like

 

[emainvol]

take it anyway you like

You have said pretty much the same thing multiple times now, and there is no substance to it. Who is going to go higher? You don't know, and that's because as of right now Blake Griffin is the best NBA prospect in NCAABB

exactly and unless an overseas prospect surpasses him, he's going to be the top pick.

Griffin reminds me some of Michael Beasley.
He's an absolute beast. I was very, very impressed. And it'll work wonders if he keeps shooting free throws that well.

Curry wasn't even playing his best and put up 44. Davidson missed some threes and easy shots in the paint, but played a heck of a ballgame. (Not making excuses at all saying that they should've won)

It'll be interesting when App State plays Davidson.....

davidson should win. they're not as strong as last year, but few teams are as disciplined and well coached.

also, mods, apologies for not starting this thread in the NCAA forum. feel free to move it over.
