Great quote by Coach Miller saying that CU is right there with U Conn, Purdue and Houston

I don’t care for Miller’s sideline shenanigans, but he is really measured, thoughtful and fair in his post game interviews. Same with Hurley at UConn.

+1. Bringing him, Matta, and Pitino on board (to join Hurley, Mac, Cooley, and Smart) has made this the best-coached conference in basketball. Imagine if Wright were still on the sidelines at Nova...

100% agree, this is the best coached league in basketball and it’s not even close!

My standout player of the game goes to Kalk while Miller and Baylor also stood out. The 17 total assists by Ashworth and Baylor were also noticed.

Tired starters are a much better choice than what our bench has given us lately. We all saw what happened when the bench came in with a 20 point lead. I do like what I see from Green but his 2nd half minutes were not good.

Yep - and the coaches really seem to have a good respect for each other. I learn a lot listening to the other coaches talk in their press conferences

And re: Miller:

""I have no problem with our team's effort level, our preparation. We wanted to win this game badly and we lost to a really good team," Miller said."

Some of that may be not wanting to call people out in public, but I think they've been playing really well lately -- They struggled early in the year (Delaware/Oakland losses), but since conference play started, they've been really good at home -- only losing to us and UConn to go 5-2 so far, and won 3 straight including beating SJU by 11 at home and Nova in an old fashioned BE slugfest at home

Yeah Green on Claude is a massive mismatch with no rim protection in the game. Don’t really blame him for that.
