    It's like if Grayson Allen was both talented and not a dick

    Man I was gonna be happy trailing by 5 or less. It is such an adjustment from playing KU who lets you take open shots, or drive and create other open shots, to Michigan not giving up anything easy. Thankfully DD is fearless and happened to be the one who could make a 3 - and pass, and play D. Still think Jay needs to make some adjustments at the break to get more realistic shots.

    I'm not mentally prepared for Nova to lose tonight, since I can't really picture how that would even happen on this stage. It would take more than just cooling off from 3-range, they do that from time to time and make up for it by crashing the boards, driving and drawing fouls. Plus their defense is good enough to withstand UM shooting well, and their depth can withstand 1-2 guys getting in foul trouble. Of course, this has been a bizarre tournament and UM is well coached. But I'm expecting to be climbing traffic poles in a few hours

    2018 MLB Thread

    Bartles replied to Netzer's topic in Baseball

    Maybe not even a whole season. I love analytics but at some point you have to get out of your team's way and let them do what the numbers say they'll do. Three games in, he has alienated his ace (and probably other SPs in support of Nola), pissed off the umpires twice (the ghost pitching change, also challenging a sac fly tagup, who does that?), and has overused and confused his bullpen. Also some positional shenanigans. He needs to realize he's fucking up and make some major changes in his own approach.

    Villanova -6.5 favorite Monday, over/under 145.5 Seems about right, I don't know much about UM other than they can play some defense.

    I mean did anyone see K-State people online whining for respect after they beat UMBC? Or Missouri people assuming Elite 8 at a minimum last summer? Compared to their main rivals KU is a fucking dream fanbase

    I think KU fans are pretty realistic compared to most good programs. They don't assume a win every time they step on the court, even though in conference play that's pretty much what happens. But man I didn't think this game would be this easy. They had a 2-0 lead and have been gargling ever since

    Weird half for KU. Barely took any 3's, barely used Azebuike even though he wasn't in foul trouble. Second half will play out differently but not sure they have the defense to come all the way back.
  10. Bartles
    Brunson and Bridges aren't coming back, but technically no seniors who play
  11. Bartles
    Rooting hard for Nova but prepared to root KU on Monday if it comes to that
  12. Bartles
    Even better...UM student section was bouncin'

    Wow, the move to Surlyhorns has slorch betting the good side and praising hotel rooms

    Pretty sure the last arena F4 was Meadowlands in 1996. I actually think shooting has improved in recent years as the seating alignment is more uniform and also the lighting is perfect. It doesn't take long for players to adjust. But it does suck. Even having a relatively decent lower level seat for the Nova win a couple years ago, the winning shot seemed like it was a mile away. You can't hear whistles or anything, so once in a while play just stops and they walk to the other end or back to the benches and you have no idea what happened. I doubt NCAA goes back unless attendance falls into the 20's which is unlikely.

    Never thought I'd post in this thread but seems relevant. Nils is playing the Kessler in Dallas but someone stole his guitars

    All three records have been great, they are good live and do creative videos. Really disappointed Killer Mike did an appearance on NRA TV a week or so ago. But he's entitled to do his thing.

    Embiid has a concussion (Sixers docs missed this yesterday) and needs surgery to repair orbital bone. Probably out a month which even with the ridiculous off days during playoffs, likely means his season is done. Fucking sucks, they were looking really dangerous at least to throw a scare into someone in the playoffs. Big question now is does this scare off any potential FA's who would have been more eager if Sixers had done anything in playoffs

    NCAA is going to allow beer/wine starting next year I think. There will be tons of beer vendors right outside in the fan zone which is open only to ticket holders. So you just have to suffer through the games themselves which take like 3 hours each. The fan zone closes when game 1 starts.

    They don't seem to realize their place in the pecking order. Cross was really popular and was getting good players. They could have easily been a Cinderella the last couple years, just didn't win conference tourney. AD Jim Baker was at UT from like 1991-2011.

    Not sure how long message boards will really be a popular thing. The next generation of middle aged white men should devise a better platform if they haven't already.

    We Want Fultz chants are answered for final couple minutes. And then the crowd comes with a "Fultz...Fultz...Fultz" chant derived from "Foles" which was derived from "Skol" stolen from the Vikings, complete with overhead hand clap. Sixers in general looking really balanced, deep and dangerous. Still a couple weeks and who knows how they come out in the playoffs. Definitely another story to watch in late April.

    Lots of great suggestions above, I would only add a day-trip to ATM cave near Belmopan is well worth it. Hike for about 45 minutes then spend 1-2 hours wandering through an amazing cave with 1,500 year old pottery intact (and the main attraction, a human skeleton possibly used in a sacrifice). Hol Chan snorker, Belekin Stout...ye

    5:09 pm Central - Loyola Ill. vs. Michigan (Line: UM -5) 7:49 pm Central - Kansas vs. Villanova (Line: VU -5) Alamodome - the court will be in the center this time, as opposed to the old half-stadium set up used in 2008 when KU won. Three Nike teams, Jayhawks the lone adidas lawbreakers. Go Ramblers & then Cats take it all again

    Thought this game would be much easier. Tech has some athletes and just shut everything down for like 10 straight minutes. I'm glad Nova has won a couple fistfight type games, but they're gonna have to get find their 3's to win another one (or two).

    Spotswood name retired. Still a great movie but it's more than a decade old. Fuck Philly and their fans!
