  1. Yeah…..I’m calling that an aberration…..but golf clap Hunter
  2. I wish I could put Weaver’s heart in some of our other players
  3. They can still uglyball their way to a win yet…..and Weaver is in full on “f—k ya’ll, I’ll do it myself mode” on offense
  4. And imagine….this guy was once The Big XII freshman of the year. What happened?
  5. It’s also fair to ask why our highly-ranked recruits recommitted after the Beard firing. Maybe they would have anyway, maybe not
  6. The 90’s NBA called and wants their offense back…..Jesus Christ
  7. Longhorns have uglied up the pace of this game to their style, but with no one capable of driving to the whole or cleaning up on the offensive glass their offense is kind of hopeless unless they shoot a higher-percentage from behind the 3-point arc. Love Disu, but that shouldn’t be your go-to player if you want tournament success
  8. Not in 50 A.D. though since his death is best estimated in the 30’s. Wax tablet technology made a lot of advances in those 20 years
  9. 30min after UNC v Michigan State ends since it’s the same court
  10. I often tell people UT fans’ level of support of the basketball program is not deserving of success. It’s why historically I’ve had different expectations for the football program than the basketball program, why I would’ve given longer leashes to the Rick Barnes’ and Shaka Smart’s both of whom seemed higher quality coaches than UT basketball fan support deserved. These sentiments, however, have to be weighed against the disproportionate playing field of college athletics that gives schools like Texas a gigantic advantage over 90% or more of the country’s athletic programs, an advantage that is even larger in the still new NIL-era.
  11. Interesting opportunity for Rodney Terry tonight. Win and get to the Sweet 16 and he likely quiets a faction that wonders if he’s the right man for the U.T. job while also perhaps keeping UT basketball competitive for recruits and the transfer portal. Lose and an early tournament exit seems consistent with a .500 conference record and fall off from Beard’s rapid ascension of the program with only UT NIL in his toolbox to “maybe” keep UT basketball nationally competitive.
  12. Watched most of the 2nd half of St. Mary’s v Grand Canyon late last night. That Grand Canyon squad is even better than advertised. Won’t be surprised at all if they make a run to The Elite 8. They seem to be able to get to the rim and thus the foul line at will with rim protectors at the other end. Very athletic
  13. Top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency which history says is a predictor of tournament success. Seemed like an excellent pivot pick, especially with Auburn ending up in UConn’s quadrant. But……no…..
  14. And just like that, my bracket’s got AIDS…..
  15. So do we have a winnings breakdown yet? Does 2nd place get cash or a set of steak knives?
  16. UCONN & AUBURN in the same half of The East Region? Brutal
  17. Well I’ll say this…….there’s absolutely that I’ll be crossing current KenPom #1, UConn, off
  18. Probably not going to happen, but if it did, no one should complain
  19. Found this article interesting last year. The 2024 teams that meet all (3) categories: UCONN, HOUSTON, PURDUE, AUBURN, ARIZONA. Schools that meet 2 of 3: Iowa State, Tennesssee, Duke, UNC. Only (8) more schools only meet one: https://www.on3.com/news/ncaa-tournament-bracket-pools-here-is-some-help/
