  1. Last night was one of the best days of basketball I've seen with 3 out of 4 games being good and 2 being phenomenal I'd be happy to continue that in the first 3 games today. Then I'd like Texas to win by 20 so we can all get a good night's rest and be ready for Sunday
  2. I was referring to the 538 analysis (which hasn't been updated in 5 years) but that analysis looks similar https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/jim-boeheim-is-the-new-king-of-march-madness/
  3. I had Duke ML in a few parlays that would have hit big if they won but I also hedged with TN +4.5 or whatever and came out even on that game. Whereas yesterday I rode the FAU ML and hedged with FAU +5 in some parlays. Thank you for your interest.
  4. But bro every coach but 1 has to lose sometime!
  5. That’s incorrect The metric is performance relative to seed A 4 seed going to the elite 8 would be over performing his seed He performed as expected this year so actually better than usual! 😂
  6. All winners! I rode the FAU ML too because Rick Barnes sucks in March
  7. Death, taxes, and Rick Barnes losing in March Hope everyone else made some money of the +200 FAU ML like I did!
  8. Late games are a bit late for me tonight and tomorrow. As a middle age guy with young kids on the East Coast this 945/10 PM tip tomorrow is gonna be brutal. Our game won’t end until after midnight and win or lose I’ll be too amped up to get to sleep until 1ish Then im on kid duty whenever they wake up (630 or 7 probably) Get that W and I’ll be able to make it through Saturday on adrenaline/anticipation alone, though
  9. I’ve got that in my Hail Mary $1 parlay trying to pick all 8 games to win $140 (there’s some MLs in there too is how it got to crazy odds)
  10. Yeah they've been impressive. I wouldn't be shocked if they won outright so +10 seems like a huge amount of points to me in that game. I like taking the points on the big spreads. I rode FDU +15.5 hard last weekend. I'm on the Zags ML and K St ML tonight. Also have a parlay with over 133 in K St/MSU, over 134 in Ark/Uconn, under 136 in FAU/Tenn, and over 140 in Zags/UCLA
  11. I like Princeton +10 a whole lot
  12. He'd be an NBA starter if he could play Texas every game Dude shoots like 95% against us
  13. Especially since the fucking Supreme Court of the United States of America has ruled that it is now 100% legal NCAA should lift that poor guy's 10 year ban from coaching
  14. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"
  15. God bless America
  16. Are you sure on where the bench is? My recollection is only the home teams fans get to sit behind their bench while the other fans sit across from their bench. Which means the “home” team is on a different end of the court for game 1 vs game 2 of the session. So one game will have Houston as the home team on one end of the arena. Their fans will be behind them while Miami fans will be kitty corner from the Houston fans on the other side of the court from the Miami bench Then game 2 Texas will be sitting where Miami was. Texas fans will be behind that bench. Xavier will be sitting where Houston was with their fans on the opposite side of the court. I’m 95% sure that’s how they do it. If someone has seats from the university down low they could help answer the question of where our bench will be. I got lucky and happened to have tickets down low on our end last year for the Purdue game. But it was pure luck. And a different end of the court from the VA Tech game.
  17. In case you needed any more reason to dislike Xavier and Sean Miller https://deadspin.com/book-richardson-prison-xavier-sweet-16-1850243540
  18. I don't want Oats anywhere near the University of Texas. Murder is worse than domestic violence. And neither of them are any fucking good. Hard pass. FOUR Bama players were at that murder scene. It's basically a team building exercise murdering a perfectly innocent 23 year old mother at that point. If you want Oats there's something fucking wrong with you IMO.
  19. I mean if RT has done a great job why would you let him go and take a chance on someone else? I feel bad for y'alls wives. You must always be thinking about how she's not as good as you could possibly do in an ideal world and fantasizing about other options. The grass is always greener. You always think that the person who is not here right now might be better than the person who is. Which is almost never true. Personally in my life I've learned to appreciate the people who are there working their asses off, trying their best, and doing a great job even if they're not the perfect ideal. Because in my experience it almost always turns out that the person you thought might be the perfect ideal from far away is not actually that great once they're there up close. Jettisoning RT for anyone short of Billy Donovan or Jay Wright makes no sense to me. And even then I'm not 100% sold. I'm sure as fuck not trying to push RT out for Oats, Musselman, etc. at this point. Again if he sucks in 3 years ok let's move on. We will still be Texas with plenty of money to attract almost anyone at that point.
  20. It's night and day if you compare the way Matt Painter coached his team in the last 10 minutes of the FDU game vs. the way RT coached his team in the last 10 minutes of the Penn State game. Painter didn't call a TO to calm them down until there was like a minute left. Painter drew up dumb plays with Edey setting picks at half court. Painter let his guys jack up 3s instead of doing the obvious and feeding Edey. Painter's guys were fucking SHOOK and scared when they went down. RT called two TOs to calm his team and end Penn State runs. RT drew up smart plays to get us good shoots. RT fed Disu instead of letting the ice cold guards shoot 3s. RT's guys were confident and didn't miss a shot after Penn State's 10-0 run to go up 3. Anyone playing the "RT doesn't do anything. He's just lucky he has Beard's players" card doesn't watch the games closely imo. Maybe his tactics won't work as well with a different set of players, but he's clearly doing things strategically, making adjustments, coming in with a solid game plan, etc. He's not just sitting there saying "attaboy!" Purdue would probably still be in the tournament if RT was their head coach.
  21. It was not but that's a good one. You can tell everyone loves RT. The one I was trying to post was Royal Ivey showing his support for RT.
  22. lol you forgot Pat Riley and Steve Kerr
  23. Wait. What did he say? Also he’s gonna win this game FTR
  24. Don’t you usually just neg everyone? You negged a comment I made last night that included a mention of my best friend tragically dying when I was 24 You are a sad, pathetic, miserable piece of shit. Fuck off
