  1. TO’s telling the story right now. we need to secure the ball and get 1-2 good looks and this game is over.
  2. i don’t have a problem with that last quick shot, she should have made the bunny, but yeah, not smart play.
  3. man, we are blowing by them, we’ve got to start hitting these shoots and taking advantage of having numbers.
  4. this team has ratcheted up the intensity this quarter, but tennessee isn’t backing down. gonna be a fight to the end.
  5. wow. the redneck family are just living breathing emblems of dunning-kruger. i found them fascinating. edited to add: the way that they β€œinteracted” with β€œmr.fenn”, eg speaking directly to him when filming themselves, and feeling like β€œmr.fenn” cared about them and wanted good for them, was just so eerily similar to so many maga people and donald trump. this personal relationship that they’ve created in their heads and hearts- it’s just wild.
  6. reading is hard, i know.
  7. β€œhe’s only playing to his seed.” yeah, and everyone is talking about how unusual this tourney has been because, wait for it- teams are actually playing to their seed. believe it or not that usually doesn’t happen. winning in the tourney is hard. look, after the first game, you’re playing five consecutive games against really good/dangerous teams. and every other matchup you’re facing an unfamiliar team with just one day to prepare. you have one day where your opponent is hot, one player in foul trouble, one rolled ankle, one coin flip tough loss, and any team can be upset from the round of 32 forward. there’s a reason this tourney is so hard to win- it’s the most unique and challenging tourney in world sports. beyond that- and this is lost on 98% of cbb fans- coaches build their teams to win the league they play in. this houston/tennessee matchup is the perfect example. barnes and sampson are two of the best in the game and yet both have historically underperformed in the tourney because the formula that won them 25-30 games in the regular season when they’re in-conference and using all of their depth doesn’t work the same in a one-and-done tourney vs strange opponents on a tight schedule, while playing in cavernous football arenas no less. these teams two guys in particular have teams that win a ton of games, but are simply not built to play from behind vs a top tier opponent. that’s the five and take when you play elite defense with outstanding athletes. now there are guys who are actual tourney chokers- shaka smart, tony bennett, matt painter, etc. and then there are guys like barnes and sampson who are outstanding coaches with more tourney wins than 95% of guys out there, who get shit-talked by internet trolls every single time they underachieve, completely ignoring the larger body of work that will see a guy like rick barnes enshrined in the hall of fame. it’s honestly pretty pathetic to be such a big hater, to ignore all success, to never admit when you’re wrong, and most of all, for the object of your ire to be a great man who was the best coach in your alma mater’s history. so strange. here’s to hoping Barnes can continue to silence some of his critics.
  8. they want him fired every february, despite the fact that their entire hoops history pre-barnes could be boiled down to one elite 8 + a handful of notable players. they are some whiny ass, front running losers.
  9. the only reason i’m tuned in right now- hell, the only reason i’m aware that this game is happening, is because pancho put the thread on this forum.
  10. he gets a curtain call in the 3rd inning on opening day and then goes deep for his third time one inning later. unreal.
  11. i can’t get over this box score: 51 of 66 shot attempts were threes? and you made 25 of them? i’d like to know how many times the warriors made 25+ threes when they had steph, kd, and klay. i’m guessing it didn’t happen often. just an unreal offense. this duke game is going to be off the chain.
  12. alabama vs duke o/u: 174.5 houston vs tennessee o/u: 124.5
  13. i assume he’ll end up at duke.

  15. just started this three episode documentary β€œgold & greed: the hunt for fenn’s treasure”. this redneck family is cracking me up, and stuff like this is right up my alley: just a bunch of crack pots living their most earnest lives, on the hunt for treasure and fame. 30 minutes in and so far so good.
  16. what a play call.
  17. that’s 0* recruit zakai ziegler. nobody gets more out of these type guys than barnes does. he’s got an unbelievable eye for talent plus the ability to develop it. he’s not the best tourney coach ever, but he’s elite in pretty much everything else you could ask of a major cbb HC.
  18. from 48-39 Michigan to 70-58 Auburn.
  19. 2-3 years ago i added talen horton-tucker during the playoffs when he was in utah and he was dropping triple doubles and shit. killing it. pretty sure he was out of the league like a year later lol. fantasy nba playoff heroes will be the most random dudes.
