NEWS AND NOTES:

-Both the ACC and the Pac-12 had some notable games yesterday. Pitt is looking more and more like a legit NCAA Tournament contender as they kicked things off with a home win against North Carolina. The Tar Heels are now 0-2 in true road games and are looking less and less like a protected seed team, but more of a first-ballot NCAA team at least.

-Miami continues to look like a legit ACC contender themselves and won by double digits at Notre Dame. While they’re not Florida State-bad or even Louisville-bad, the Irish look like they’ll finish in the bottom third of the ACC right now.

-Clemson has quietly gotten off to a 3-0 start in ACC play with their home win against NC State, but almost nobody was in the house to see it. Something about the Orange Bowl later that night, perhaps?

-UCLA played from behind for almost the entire night at Washington State, but Adem Bona hit a layup with 19 seconds remaining to give UCLA a 1-point lead they would not relinquish and ended up escaping Pullman with a 1-point win. USC won at Washington with a lot less trouble than their intracity rivals.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-UCONN AT XAVIER (Big East).  UConn is one of the best teams in the country and appears to be good enough to make a run at a #1 seed.  This will likely be one of their toughest remaining games of the season.  Xavier is in the rankings and playing extremely well, and their only home loss was to an Indiana team that they had a lead on for most of the game.  This one should be fun, and if Xavier can pull the upset you have to start looking at them as a possible protected seed.

-TEXAS TECH AT TCU (Big 12).  Both teams have been playing really well, both are likely tournament teams, and this should be a really fun match-up today as it’s the conference opener for both.  This is probably Texas Tech’s biggest test of the year so far, so a win for them would really boost the value of their resume.

-LOUISVILLE AT KENTUCKY.  It’s a rivalry game, but this year’s edition has an interesting story line.  Kentucky fans are fed up because they don’t look like they belong in the top 25.  Louisville fans are fed up because they don’t look like they belong in D1.

-VIRGINIA TECH AT WAKE FOREST (ACC).  VA Tech is looking more and more like they will be a tournament team, and Wake is looking more and more like they could be a tournament team.  Both these teams could use this one because it would look good on either team’s resume.

-CHARLESTON AT TOWSON (Colonial).  This is a HUGELY important game for a Charleston team that’s 12-1, on the doorsteop of the top 25, and has a very good chance at landing inside the bubble if they can finish at the top of the CAA standings.  Towson has a high ceiling, but they’ve been in a tailspin lately.  They’re still talented, and it won’t be an easy road game for CofC to win. This could also finally be the win that could vault Charleston into the Top 25 going into 2023.

-UCF AT HOUSTON (American).  UCF is one of the better teams in the American, and I think they have a real shot at an at-large bid.  That will certainly be true if they can win this one today, but chances are they’re overmatched.  Houston is THE best team in the American, and is perhaps the most talented team in the entire nation.  They should end up with a #1 seed if they hold serve the rest of the way.

-OKLAHOMA STATE AT KANSAS (Big 12).  I’m still wanting to believe that Oklahoma State can have a big year, and they have been playing a little better, but so far they’ve been a bit of a disappointment.  A win today would certainly turn things around, but that’s much easier said than done.  Kansas is a team that’s in contention for a #1 seed, so they should be able to hold serve at home in this one.

-ARIZONA AT ARIZONA STATE (Pac 12).  It’s a rivalry game and it should be a crazy atmosphere.  Arizona has looked as good as anyone in the country and looks like they could contend for a #1 seed.  Arizona State has looked good for most of the season, but in the two games that they haven’t looked good, they’ve looked REALLY bad.  Something tells me that they’ll be way up for this one, though.

-TEXAS AT OKLAHOMA (Big 12).  It’s the basketball verison of the Red River Rivalry!!  Texas hasn’t missed too much of a beat with their off the court issues, but today will be one of their bigger tests of the year up to this point.  They’re on the road against a pretty good Oklahoma team that can really boost their resume if they can pick up a win today.

-BAYLOR AT IOWA STATE (Big 12).  Baylor looks like they can be a protected seed, and while this is not an easy road game by any stretch of the imagination, it is the kind of road game that protected seeds are expected to be able to win.  Iowa State is 9-2 on the year with some pretty decent wins of their own, and this is a chance to improve their resume even more.

-MARQUETTE AT VILLANOVA (Big East).  Villanova is 7-6, but they are also 5-1 in their last six games with the only loss being a very competitive game at Connecticut, so based on how they’ve been playing when you look at the rest of the schedule you feel like there isn’t a game left where they’re so overmatched that they can’t win it.  They should be able to get this one at home against a decent Marquette team.

-NEW MEXICO AT WYOMING (Mountain West).  New Mexico is unbeaten on the year, in the rankings, and having a bit of a dream season.  They may be tested more than people think today by a Wyoming team that has struggled due to injuries, but that is still talented and could do some damage once they’re healthy again.

-WESTERN KENTUCKY AT MIDDLE TENNESSEE (Conference USA).  WKU is 8-4 and is damn near out of strikes, especially after losing at Rice at home the other night.  There is still a chance (albeit slim) for them to make a run at the bubble if they can play up to their ceiling and blow through conference play, but the loss to Louisville is really going to hurt them and they’re basically out of strikes.  This won’t be an easy road game for them in the conference opener.

-SAN DIEGO STATE AT UNLV (Mountain West).  UNLV is looking to bounce back from a very surprising loss the other night at San Jose State, but despite that they’re still in reasonably good shape and have a good chance at landing inside the bubble.  A win today would certainly help.  Having said that, a win today would look really good for San Diego State as well.

-SAM HOUSTON AT NEW MEXICO STATE (WAC).  This will be a tough road game for Sam Houston, but they’ve already won a couple of really tough road games.  I like this team’s resume and I love how they play defense.  They can make a run at the bubble if they hold serve in league play.  It’s a tough road game, but it’s the kind of game that tournament caliber teams need to be able to win.

-WEST VIRGINIA AT KANSAS STATE (Big 12).  Both teams have bloated records, and West Virginia has played their way into the rankings, but most (albeit not quite all) of the wins for both teams have come from the pastry cart and they need some meet on their resumes.  A win today would certainly help.

-SAINT MARY’S AT SANTA CLARA (West Coast).  Santa Clara is coming off a really nice win against San Francisco earlier in the week, and if they can get this one then their resume will be worth a look from the committee.  Saint Mary’s could use some good wins on their resume too, and this is one they’d get a decent amount of credit for given that it’s a road game and given how well Santa Clara has been playing.

OTHER NOTABLE GAMES/BUY GAMES:

-Virginia @ Georgia Tech (ACC) – this should be a winnable conference road game for UVA, which would be their second true road win of the year
-Yale @ Columbia (Ivy League) – Yale will pretty much have to run the table to get any sort of look from the committee
-Saint John’s @ Seton Hall (Big East) – Both teams seem to be a in a tailspin and could really use this one
-Florida State @ Duke (ACC)
-UMass Lowell @ NJIT (America East) – UMass Lowell will pretty much have to win out to get any serious consideration from the committee
-Fresno State @ Utah State (Mountain West) – A win for Utah State gets them to 12-2 and keeps them on pace to land inside the bubble
-Louisiana @ Old Dominion (Sun Belt) – Louisiana is 10-2 on the year and is amongst a group of teams in the Sun Belt that could land inside the bubble if they can finish at or near the top
-James Madison @ Marshall (Sun Belt) – Marshall is 11-2 on the year and is amongst a group of teams in the Sun Belt that could land inside the bubble if they can finish at or near the top
-Appalachian State @ Southern Miss (Sun Belt) – Southern Miss is 11-2 on the year and is amongst a group of teams in the Sun Belt that could land inside the bubble if they finish at or near the top
-Utah @ Stanford – this should be a winnable conference road game for Utah
-UTSA @ UAB (Conference USA)
-Pepperdine @ Gonzaga (West Coast) – conference opener for both teams
-San Diego @ San Francisco (West Coast) – San Francisco needs to bounce back and start stringing together wins again

Under The Radar Game of the Day – Saturday, December 31st

Posted on December 31, 2022 by John Stalica

Utah Tech (9-5, 1-0) at Utah Valley (10-4, 1-0) – 4:00 PM ET (ESPN+)

There are a lot of great UTR matchups today (Charleston-Towson and James Madison-Marshall come to mind), but we at Hoops HD will not pass up a top-notch Beehive matchup when it presents itself. The Trailblazers of Utah Tech travel to Orem to take on the Wolverines at Utah Valley. Utah Tech had a close 5-point loss at Utah State in the beginning of December, but followed that game up with a 12-point win at Weber State to improve to 1-1 in the Beehive and spark what is now a 6-game win streak (although only 3 games are against D1 competition). Isaiah Pope had 20 points in Tech’s WAC opener against UTRGV.

Mark Madsen’s Wolverine squad got off to a slow 3-4 start, but they have caught fire of late with a 7-game winning streak of their own. In their last two wins, they defeated Oregon 77-72 in Eugene and also hammered Sam Houston State 80-64 in their WAC opener. UVU was led by Tahj Small (19 points) and La’Tre Darthard (15 points) in their win against the Bearkats.

News, Notes, and Highlighted Games – Friday, Dec 30th

Posted on December 30, 2022 by David Griggs

NEWS AND NOTES:

-For Jon Teitel’s Interview with Mark Montieth about Scott Kyles – CLICK HERE

-For John Stalica’s UTR Game of the Day – CLICK HERE

-Providence continues to look more and more like a solid NCAA Tournament team.  Butler isn’t exactly setting the world on fire this year, but for Providence to go on the road and totally blow them off the floor was something.  The final score was 72-52 and the game wasn’t really even that close.

-Rice picked up a really nice win at Western Kentucky 81-78 and is now 10-3 on the year.  They’re still a long way from the bubble, but the top of CUSA is good enough to where if they can pick up a few more wins like this one they may find themselves on the board.

-Iowa absolutely stinks all of a sudden.  They have gone from looking like a top 25 team to looking like they don’t even belong in D1.  After losing to Eastern Illinois at home, they were blown off the floor by Nebraska 66-50 last night.

-Michigan appeared to be pulling themselves together, but after losing 63-61 at home to Central Michigan last night and falling to 7-5 overall, they’ve looked like an NIT team or worse more than they’ve looked like an NCAA Tournament team so far.

-UAB and Southern Miss both needed to sweat, but both held on for the wins.  UAB beat UTEP in double overtime 79-73 and Southern Miss held off Troy 64-60.  Both teams are in a position to make a run at the bubble, but they can’t slip up in games like these and both had close calls last night.

-Santa Clara got a really solid win in their conference opener against a San Francisco team that had been playing really well.  They’re now 13-3 on the year with a smattering of decent wins after their 79-67 win.

 

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-NORTH CAROLINA AT PITTSBURGH (ACC).  North Carolina has won four straight and picked up a nice win against Michigan in their last game, but they’re currently 0-2 in true road games, so getting this one against a Pitt team that’s actually halfway decent would be one of their more important wins of the year so far.

-MIAMI FL AT NOTRE DAME (ACC).  Miami FL continues to string together wins, build a strong resume, and climb the rankings.  Notre Dame, for the most part, continues to disappoint.  This should be a winnable conference road game for the Canes.

-NC STATE AT CLEMSON (ACC).  Both teams have good records, but neither has any high caliber wins yet so both have work to do.  A win today for either team would help out their resume.

-USC AT WASHINGTON (Pac 12).  USC is starting to play better, but this will be a tough road test for them.  It’s just their second road game of the year and while they should win, it won’t be a cakewalk.

OTHER NOTABLE GAMES/BUY GAMES:

-Buffalo @ Michigan State
-Western Michigan @ Wisconsin
-Coppin State @ Rutgers
-UCLA @ Washington State (Pac 12) – UCLA is playing as well as anyone in the country right now

Happy Anniversary! HoopsHD interviews Mark Montieth about Scott Skiles

Posted on December 30, 2022 by Jon Teitel

There are a lot of NBA records set my big men that have lasted for decades: Wilt Chamberlain’s 55-REB game in 1960, Wilt’s 100-PT game in 1962, and Elmore Smith’s 17-BLK game in 1973. 1 of the few records not held by a 7-footer is the all-time AST record, which was set by 6’1″ PG Scott Skiles more than 30 years ago when he had 30 AST for Orlando in a win over Denver. HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel got to chat with author Mark Montieth about Scott’s career and his record-setting night. Today marks the 32nd anniversary of Scott’s fantastic feat so we take this time to remember his life/legacy.

In 1982 as a senior at Plymouth High School, Skiles led the state of Indiana with 30.2 PPG, scored 39 PTS (including a 20-foot buzzer-beater at the end of regulation) in a 1-PT 2-OT state tourney title game win over Roosevelt High School, and was named tourney MVP: how good a player was he back in high school, and where does that title game rank among the most memorable in Indiana history? I would rank it 2nd to Bobby Plump’s championship with Milan (featured in the movie “Hoosiers”). Plymouth is the smallest school to win the state championship in the single-class tournament since Milan: they only have around 800 kids. Skiles’ shot is well-remembered: people swear that it curved from left to right. He was certainly respected but not highly recruited due to his size/athleticism. He was originally planning to go to Purdue because he had attended their camps while growing up. Prior to his senior year he did not play well at the camp because he was injured and assistant coach Clarence Glover wrote him a letter saying that they were no longer recruiting him. Coach Gene Keady found out and tried to fix it but it was too late…so Glover was fired the following year! Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote watched Scott in 1 game and he did not play great, but after leaving the gym he decided to return and Scott played very well in his next game so Jud gave him a scholarship. He was a great passer/shooter and was quick enough: you do not have a long NBA career without being athletic. He was 1 of the most entertaining players that I have ever seen due to his passing.

What impact did Heathcote have on him (if any)? Jud gave Scott a lot of freedom as he previously did for Magic Johnson. They were playing against Indiana 1 year and Jud just told Scott to go out and freelance, which he loved because that played to his strengths. Jud could get on his players’ cases and be demanding but he put up with Scott’s personality: it was the right place for him to play.

As a senior he scored 27.4 PPG and was named All-American/Big 10 POY: what did it mean to him to receive such outstanding honors? I think he really enjoyed that: even more than the honors was the chance to stick it to all of the opposing coaches who had passed over him. He had a chip on shoulder so he was proud of the career he had. He had a lot of pride about his game but did not have a lot of ego. I think the memories are more important to him than the awards.

He graduated as the school’s all-time leading scorer (2145 PTS)/FT shooter (85 FT%)/passer (645 AST): I assume that Magic Johnson is the best PG to ever play in East Lansing…but is Skiles that far behind him? Not too far, but you have to give props to Scott. Magic was 6’8” while Scott was listed at 6’1”, which is a big difference. As far as a true PG who could run a team and be a leader, Scott could do that. He was every bit as good a passer as Magic and in college he was a better shooter. Shaquille O’Neal once said that Scott was his favorite PG, which was quite an endorsement.

In the summer of 1986 he was drafted 22nd overall by Milwaukee (5 spots ahead of Dennis Rodman): did he see that as a validation of his college career, or the realization of a lifelong dream of reaching the NBA, or other? He was probably offended that he went as late as he did since he was an All-American. However, being drafted in the 1st round should be considered a great accomplishment. It did not work out for him in Milwaukee as he only played in 13 games because of an injury. He was traded to the Pacers the following summer for a 2nd round pick, which was a good deal for the Pacers.

On December 30, 1990, as a player for Orlando he had 22 PTS and set an NBA record with 30 AST in a 155-116 win over Denver (whose entire team had 14 AST): how was he able to get so many AST as part of a starting lineup featuring Nick Anderson/Terry Catledge/Greg Kite/Dennis Scott, and do you think that anyone will ever break his record? He played 2 years for the Pacers but 1 of GM Donnie Walsh’s rare mistakes was not protecting Scott in the expansion draft. Scott was a backup PG and Donnie protected SG Randy Wittman instead…and I am sure that he regretted it. Even though Scott did not have the greatest talent around him he was still playing with pros who knew how to score. It just speaks to his ability as a playmaker and the way that he approached the game. He was there to be a true PG and deliver the ball to the right place. And, in fairness, Denver was a poor defensive team. The assist record could be broken due to the full-court game now but I cannot recall anyone even coming close to breaking it (note: nobody in the 21st century has had more than 25 AST in a game).

He only started 371 games in his pro career but remains in the top-50 in NBA history with 6.5 APG/88.9 FT%: do you think that he deserves more credit for being a solid PG for a decade in the NBA? Probably so: his name does not roll off your tongue when you mention the best PGs, but he became a great 3-PT shooter and always had a good AST-TO ratio. He had great intangibles: he was cocky and willing to fight anyone, which made an impact on his teammates. Guys loved playing with him.

In his 1st season as head coach of Phoenix in 2000 he went 40-22, upset the defending champs (Spurs) in the 1st round of the playoffs, then lost to the eventual champs (Lakers) in the Western Conference Semifinals: were you surprised that he went into coaching, and do you think that his early success raised the bar too high (he never had a higher winning percentage in any of his 13 subsequent seasons as a coach)? He talked about becoming a coach pretty openly during college. He was a natural and truly loved the game so I thought that he could be a good coach. He is very demanding and is not eager to put up with players who have bad attitudes or management that has a different plan for the future: he was not a politician. I remember speaking with him when he was an assistant coach in Phoenix. I asked him how it was going and he said, “It would be better if I was the head coach!” He knew how to set up a team and get things going but he has made it clear to me that he does not want to become a head coach again. He reminds me of Larry Brown, who always moved on to get a fresh start somewhere else.

In 2009 he was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame: where does that rank among the highlights of his career? He is very proud of that because he knows what Indiana high school basketball is all about. He took great pride in winning a state title with a bunch of teammates who did not go on to play D-1 basketball: it was a real Cinderella story.

When people look back on his career, how do you think that he should be remembered the most? For his fiery attitude and the way that he approached every game. You never had to worry about his effort because he was such a hard-nosed guy. He also played with a confidence level that affected his teammates in a positive way. When he played at Michigan State there was 1 game in Ann Arbor against Michigan. Antoine Joubert was a highly-publicized player for Michigan who was a little chubby. Right before tip-off Scott slapped him on the butt and said something like, “Show me what you got, fat boy”…and then Michigan State went out and won the game. Another story is that a few years after the expansion draft he came back with Orlando to play the Pacers and scored 41 points. Pacers coach Bob Hill called a timeout at one point and as Scott ran by the Indiana bench he yelled, “Call all the timeouts you want; you got nobody who can stop me!” He was a lot like Larry Bird: a cocky rural kid who could dominate a game with his skills. He got into some trouble in college, and even had to spend a few days in jail because of marijuana possession, but never got into any kind of legal trouble after that. He was the underdog who got by on his savvy, skill, and hustle.

Under The Radar Game of the Day – Friday, December 30th

Posted on December 30, 2022 by John Stalica

North Alabama (8-5, 0-0) at Jacksonville State (7-6, 0-0) – 7:00 PM ET (ESPN+)

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day matches a pair of schools from the state of Alabama – North Alabama travels to Jacksonville State for the Atlantic Sun opener for both teams. The Lions of UNA have won 4 out of their last 5 games; this includes a win against Ole Miss on the road as well as a double-digit comeback in the 2nd half against Morehead State on the road. Daniel Ortiz averages 13.2 points a game for the Lions.

Much like the Wright State-Northern Kentucky rivalry, there is a lot of history between UNA and Jacksonville State that took place in the NCAA Division II era. The Gamecocks lead the rivalry series 58-35 that dates back to 1950. Demaree King (16.0 PPG) and former Wright State/Morehead State standout Skyelar Potter (15.1 PPG) lead JSU in scoring this season.
