  1. There hasn’t been a single upset in the second round so far has there? Gonzaga was favored.
  2. Yeah, Rick Barnes had the more talented team, him barely winning isn’t some feather in his cap.
  3. Charles Barkley once said about DeAndre Jordan, “If you left him in a gym overnight by himself and told him he couldn’t dunk, he’d have 4 points in the morning.” Sadly, that basically applies here too.
  4. Well, I don’t think RT’s leash is 6 more years, but it’s not 1 more year either. So the whole discussion of his firing as if it’s coming any time soon is dumb.
  5. Barnes won 2 tournament games his last 6 years here.
  6. I know no one on this board ever wants to be reasonable, especially after a loss. But it was a pretty good season. Tennessee is clearly the more talented team and we still almost stole one. We do need to get to work in the portal though, because I think our problems are much more about roster construction than anything in-game. This wasn’t actually a sweet 16 caliber team. There’s a reason we had to muck up games to have a chance.
  7. Horton and Onyema were last minute replacements after we had two blue chip recruits bail out of their letter of intents. It was a unique emergency situation. We should not take those caliber of players again.
  8. Today's margins were a little worse than yesterday's, but 3 of the #1 seeds played today, so that's to be expected. Think we had 5 single digit margin games yesterday, we've had 3 so far today with a potential 4th. Also, it should be pointed out that FAU/Northwestern went to OT before it ended up a double digit margin.
  9. James Madison led that game wire to wire. That was no Cinderella magic or anything, they were just clearly better than Wisconsin.
  10. Yale is always salty in the tournament. Upset Baylor 6 or 7 years ago, almost upset LSU a couple of years ago, now they upset Auburn.
  11. College refs fucking suck man.
  12. Yeah, I don't think they were all that great at developing players, which is why the money was the only point. And why it now serves no purpose with NIL being as big as it is.
  13. The Ignite really were only created to give kids an option to make money without having to leave the country. NIL has rendered it pointless, closing it down is the right call. Yeah, most people thought he was flipping to Arkansas when he first asked out of his letter of intent here.
  14. That was some clutch FT shooting by Duquesne.
  15. This Virginia team had absolutely no business being in this tournament. Got in based on being a brand name, selection committee should be embarrassed.
  16. No. I get that Hunter is frustrating, but Askew is a much worse player. Worse shooter, worse finisher, worse passer.
  17. This dude has one of the worst offensive games I’ve ever seen from a power conference guard. Cal stinks, so a player can transfer there and get a green light they wouldn’t get at almost any other power conference school. Jaylon Tyson ended up at Cal and actually flourished there because of this. But Askew does almost nothing well offensively, an extra green light doesn’t matter for him.
  18. It’s true we could easily lose in the first round, but save that pessimism for later, today is the day to shit on OU fans.
  19. In these settings, the team that isn’t coached by Rick Barnes has the advantage.
  20. We finished 3rd in this recruitment back when he first committed, but Kansas finished second.
  21. No, as I said, I’m just guessing. They haven’t said publicly they’re a package deal. But if the two OL continue to rise, there will be more schools willing to take all 3, it won’t just be Tech.
  22. The Coleman twins are actually the Coleman triplets. The 3rd brother is a DL who isn’t quite as big and won’t be as highly ranked as the other two. I’m guessing the biggest school willing to take all 3 is the one who lands them. Sand aggy has already offered all 3.
  23. He’s a max effort guy who also has max athleticism. Makes him both super fun to watch and easy to root for.
  24. Wasn’t there talk recently of a kid who tried to commit and the staff told him to slow down? Could easily see that being Rink, and now he’s a little butthurt about being rebuffed.
