Dear uneducated Football fans: nobody goes 38-0 in hoops.

[Smithian]

Pretty sure most fan bases in America complain about their defense leaving shooters open. Every defense takes risks but sometimes they get burnt. Maybe someone could go to the fan base of the team with the lowest steals stats in the country and those fans will brag that they don't leave shooters open.

Bad year to say nobody goes undefeated. Kentucky might do it.

Heard that one before.

They're good, but they don't have an Anthony Davis.

Who may be the best player in basketball right now. Seriously, I'm not kidding one bit.

25.2 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 3.1 blks, 2.3 stls, 1.9 asts.

He is so good it is scary. Pelicans should be embarrassed they're wasting away around .500 with a player like that.

You wrong. UCLA once won 88 in a so I'm pretty sure at one time they must have been 38-0.

I thought putting Asik next to him was a great move. They'd probably be a Top 3 team in the East. The West is just loaded.

UConn women went undefeated, more than once.  They play hoops.

Everyone loses.  Upsets happen. Nolan's top 10 team once lost to a junior college from Puerto Rico at home I think. 

I saw a first half down by 23 but we cut it to 11.  Guys didn't give up on the road at a tough arena with awful refs. Remember ISU was #10 in the country not too long ago.

The sky is not falling.  We can play defense.  We can win on the road.  Just not tonight.

If you came from MMQB to troll or whine  - go back.

Actually UCLA went undefeated several times under John Wooden but that was a different era. I wholeheartedly agree, the sky is definitely NOT falling.

A little perspective...  UCONN lost a game by 33 and went on to win the NC...

Incorrect. We lost to American-Puerto Rico in their tournament in Puerto Rico. And that was by no means a great team. That was the team that lost to Utah in the 2nd round of the tourney.

Otherwise, good points

[imtad16]

It was not at home. They have not lost at home to a non conference opponent since 2011.

I stand corrected. I honestly didn't realize that was in KC. I just saw on their schedule that they were the home team. Still though that was a game that most thought they would have won and especially were not planning to get handled like they did.

Don't confuse people with facts. If it doesn't fit their agenda, then it can't be true.

haha this was a very strong response. I didn't realize I had an agenda. Thanks for pointing it out for me though.

That wasn't a great team but it was a pretty good team. Ran into a very good Utah team.

But there has to be a plan b when plan a isn't working...if pressure isn't causing turnovers there is always playing half court defense ...we simply do not show the ability to do that and have not in many years...

The plan typically doesn't start to work until the final 10 minutes of play. That's why we stick with it, has nothing to do with stubbornness. Mike has forgotten more about basketball than we will ever know

[Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson]

I haven't watched enough hogs hoops lately to know.  Tried to watch them a couple games ago. Don't remember who they were playing to be quite honest.  I turned it off.  They make me nervous from start to finish. Still painful to watch.

Glad they seem to be improved.  Record would certainly indicate they are.

I used to love all hoops, but refuse to watch NBA and very few college teams I will sit down and watch. Syracuse, Louisville, KY, and Duke I will watch consistently.  Not a huge fan of any of those teams, but like the way they play and are coached. KY being the exception. Dunno that there is any great coaching going on there, but jeez a Lou the players he gets every year.

Jordan was leading UNC to a undefeated season until Mr. Balentine got in the way.
