  1. Seth Davis gets it. https://x.com/SethDavisHoops/status/1900667773019181481 I forgot tweets don't post anymore but here's what Seth Davis tweeted. "This loss drops Texas to 7-11 vs Quad 1. UNC is 1-11. I don't understand why anyone would have the Heels ahead of the Longhorns no matter what happens vs Duke. Also Xavier is 2-9 v Q1, Indiana is 4-13, SDSU is 3-6. I think the Horns are in."
  2. If Xavier or UNC get in over Texas, they should just get rid of the quadrant system. Xavier and UNC both have 1 quadrant one win. Texas has 7. It's kind of insane to me this actually a debate. They constantly talk about "quality wins" via the quadrant system so this isn't even a debate.
  3. The reality isn’t they didn’t want to just keep the roster together. They didn’t want some of those players to transfer to Texas. That’s how they think. I guarantee this was more driven by Texas getting some of those players than actually keeping the roster together.
  4. Speaking of UNC, this Jon Rothstein interaction is beautiful. "As of today, UNC has 1 quadrant one win. Texas has 7. I'm interested in the criteria on the overall body of work." At least people are saying this on national television. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3540736/dont-you-dare-even-think-about-telling-jon-rothstein-unc-deserves-to-be-in-the-ncaa-tournament?utm_content=buffer8288b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
  5. UNC has 1 quality win all year. It's insane they're even on the bubble. They also have a Q3 loss (i.e. a bad loss). Our resume is not only better than UNC's resume, it's a lot better.
  6. UNC getting in over Texas would be criminal. 1-12 against Q1 opponents. I don't even know how they're on the bubble.
  7. It's still early but i'm questioning if they even make a regional.
  8. What a play by Flores because that wasn't easy.
  9. Oh god. Tough play but probably should have been made.
  10. I would stick with Dre for another hitter. Throw that nasty slider and get a double play ball.
  11. 3b decided to take a nap while he fielded that.
  12. Dre has always had the stuff. It's always just been if he can throw strikes.
  13. This ump's zone is huge but I think it is consistent at least.
  14. Duplantier is quickly becoming an all time favorite. That injury really fucked him but he worked through the struggles. How many players would have transferred in his situation during this era of the portal? I'm betting a lot.
  15. This guy can't locate anything to the outside of the plate for a strike to RH hitters. They all know to just sit on something inside.
  16. We're just a much better team with Mark at PG. Crazy it took this long to figure it out or we wouldn't even be close to a bubble team.
  17. Gainey can't stay in front of Mark. It was pretty clear what we were doing offensively to end the half. They were isolating Mark and Tre on one side of the court because they know Mashak is not going to leave Tre. It was working too. Now it might be a different story once Ziegler is back in the game.
  18. Need to do a better job guarding Lanier but I don't mind what we're doing with Tre. They're over helping on Tre. At the end of the half, Mark realized that if he just drove to Tre's side of the court they were not going to help off of him. Wide open layups and penetration.
  19. I've long thought Buzz is just an insanely good con man. He had success at Marquette but in his last season they didn't make the tournament and there was massive attrition. Marquette was probably not going to make the tournament 2 years in a row under Buzz. He turned that into a long-term contract at Virginia Tech. Then in 5 years at Virginia Tech, Buzz won a total of 2 tournament games. Yeah, Virginia Tech doesn't have rich basketball history but still. He then turned that into a long-term contract at A&M. Now at A&M he has won 1 tournament game in year 6. He will probably somehow turn that into another long-term contract somewhere else with his entire roster departing after this season.
  20. you want the coach that's accomplished less than RT?
  21. Buzz wants out because like 6 of their top 7 players are seniors and gone after this season. If they don't make the 2nd weekend this year, next year's roster will likely get him fired.
  22. Feels like a game we are going to need Weaver to chase around Lanier on the defensive end.
  23. And the 3 losses were a 4 point loss to K-State, 4 point loss to Tennessee that made the Elite 8, and 7 point loss to Miami that made the final 4 (much closer than that score indicates). Who knows what happens today but we have played well in tournament settings under RT.
  24. I don't know how UNC is even on the bubble. They have 1 good win all year. They also have a bad loss. I guess it's the name. And of course they get a prime opportunity to get a good win tonight with Flagg likely not playing for Duke.
