  1. some of the individual plays made today by the likes of mark, pope, weaver, and tre really highlight the fact that this team has way more talent and ability than the sum of its parts would lead you to believe.
  2. we’re about to win this lmao.
  3. that’s what we come up with out of the TO. jesus christ.
  4. i really hate that college teams just don’t go for 2-for-1’s. makes no sense. get the ball to tre, get downhill, and get a bucket + the last possession.
  5. lol got away with one there.
  6. that last possession was a fireable offense. tre johnson never even touches the ball. unacceptable.
  7. jesus christ shedrick.
  8. tre is heating up…
  9. there was a period of time this season where people were posting that Chendall Weaver was no longer needed, and that he might have a tough time finding minutes on this team when he returned. poppycock. he pops off the screen. what an impactful player he is.
  10. did they just say we have nine different fg scorers on 10 made fg? that’s incredible. it’s probably been decades since we’ve done that, if we’ve ever done it period.
  11. and just like that, his watch has ended. rip. 🙏🏼
  12. i know, im bummed about it too.
  13. i simply hate him too much to ever acknowledge his existence, even in an exercise like this. seems like a nice guy, but there’s a threshold of annoying that he sprinted so far beyond that i can’t even bring myself to talk about this man who was an absolute assclown on my tv for so many years. sorry not sorry.
  14. i’ve spent more time thinking about this than you can imagine. actually, you can probably imagine it lol. the all time starting five is hard enough, but i think that the all time 12 man roster might be even harder, at least for people to come to a consensus. after your top 7-8 guys, the rest of the team is all role players who get spot minutes, no matter how awesome they were at Texas. and, re: the starting five, you definitely can’t just name the five best players, you still need a balanced lineup that’s designed to win games. so off the top of my head i’d go: G- TJ Ford G- Avery Bradley G/F- PJ Tucker F- KD C- Lasalle Thompson thats a really, really good defensive team, with an NPOY PG and an NPOY shooter who’s also 6’11”. that lineup won’t measure up to the likes of ucla or kentucky, but it’s a pretty got damn well rounded starting five for college ball.
  15. yeah nobody ever talks about KD’s impact on the defensive end in college. Barnes trashed him as a defender when he got here, famously stopping practice to apologize to aj abrams, saying, “aj, i need to apologize to you, because i called you the worst defensive player i’ve ever seen, and kevin durant is *the worst* defensive player i've ever seen.” KD took that to heart, and became a menacing defender by the end of his one season here. he still wasn’t the best all around defender, but he made several impact plays on a nightly basis. that triple block vs KSU was so sick.
  16. just for one game, or maybe a best of 7, i wonder how this lineup would fare against any of the all time lineups listed in this thread: G-Derrick Rose G/F- Zion Williamson F- Carmelo Anthony F- Kevin Durant C- Anthony Davis no doubt these guys do not have the accolades or records that the all time guys have, and it’s also true that these guys were teenagers when they played, while everyone on our lists played 3-4 years. all of that is true. but my heart tells me that if this team played one of those teams, with wider rules, including a three point line, that it could absolutely beat the “all time starting five”, at least for a game, and possibly it even for a series. i feel like the series would go at least six games.
  17. you know what’s interesting is that outside of tobacco road, i doubt you’d find very many people who’d include tyler hansborough on their all time 12-15 man roster. just a random thought.
  18. i was so busy hating jj redick when he was at duke that i didn’t fully appreciate his greatness until well after he was gone. aj abrams was the best 3-pt shooter in B12 history. off the top of my head he shot 40% for his career on 7-8 3pa/gm. even years after he’d been gone there was nobody shooting like him. seriously impressive. and then you go look at jj’s numbers, and you remember how much bigger, and stronger, and more versatile, and well rounded he was, and you look back at his ridiculous college stats, and you suddenly find yourself appreciating him much more than you did while he was playing at duke. that was my experience anyway. jj is an all time great.
  19. i find it impossible to pick a one year player when you have guys like sampson and thompson who were three-time NPOY guys.
  20. here’s my list off the top of my head, i’m sure i’ll eventually amend it more than once: G-Pete Maravich G- David Thompson G- Michael Jordan F- Tim Duncan C- Lew Alcindor
