  1. vols can win the SEC with a win at south carolina on wednesday.
  2. same. it feels dirty. edit: lol, so NL hasn’t escaped hg’s gravitational pull after all
  3. oof, that was a rough year for Tech: also TIL that one of the greatest strikers of our generation actually played basketball for TTU in 2012:
  4. RT’s current top assistant frank haith pulled off this good news/bad news job for mizzou in 2012:
  5. going on the road and beating alabama when your team shoots like this is impressive: beating a good team on the road when zeigler and knecht combine to shoot 10-32 (6-19) is maybe the biggest data point that shows that this team has what it takes to win in the tourney. i won’t believe it until i see it, but this is how you have to win in the later rounds of the tournament.
  6. that’s right, i was thinking of ken mcdonald. disu getting healthy and back into the lineup + the emergence of chendall weaver have been a huge help as well.
  7. he also lost russell sprigmann and rob lanier to HC jobs, and both of them were good recruiters, particularly springmann who landed KD.
  8. hey yo my mom’s 70th birthday is on march 31st, and beyond that, she is in her 44th year as an educator at St.Andrew’s Episcopal School. when we get to the end of the month y’all show my mom some love for doing our draft order for so many years by sending her $1! it’s a long story, but dollar bills/$1 is meaningful to my mom. so y’all do me this favor and send my mom $1 on or around the 31st and i swear i’ll never ask anything of any of you again…save a few 4 for 2 trade offers lol. but for real, show her some love this year. thanks guys!
  9. 100%. total boneheaded play by pellegrini.
  10. wow. huge error from Brennan, huge stones from the SP kid.
  11. there was that stat about izzo that got broken semi-recently. he went something like 20 years where, if you played four years for him, you went to the final four. CBB is kinda like high stakes poker before it blew up. there’s always the elements of luck and chance, but you see a lot of the same faces at the final table over and over.
  12. Coach K- .766 career win% Roy Williams- .774 Bob Knight- .710 Dean Smith- .776 Adolph Rupp- .822 John Calipari- .759 Bill Self- .769 Lute Olson- .737 Jerry Tarkanian- .784 Rick Pitino- .710 Mark Few- .836 Tom Izzo- .710 John Wooden .804 great college basketball coaches win 70%-80% of their games, for decades at a time. that’s what they do. i struggle to name another sport on the planet where the head coach is as important and has big of an impact on winning as college basketball. there’s no other sport where the best coaches reach the top of their sport in their early 40’s and then stay there (at 1-2 programs) until they retire in their late 60’s, if not later. this is the one sport where a great coach simply = decades of success. i mean if there is one lesson that everyone here should have taken from a lifetime of watching Barnes and Beard vs Shaka, RT, Penders, Weltich, etc is that coaching matters more than talent does at this level. beard with shaka’s last team wins the league and goes to the final four. shaka with beard’s first team is out in round 1 of the NIT with lots of guys transferring out. one guy made his team way less than the sum of its parts, the other did the opposite. in summation, the post that i quoted is one of the most irrefutably false statements ever posted here. it’s the exact opposite of reality. wild, wacky stuff.
  13. just now i said to her, “you probably got a lot of street cred name dropping hunter greene like that”, and she said, “yeah, well, i’m Mamaderka (close enough)” lol.
  14. for the first time ever in my entire history of fantasy sports, i’m not going into the draft with a set name. i have one name on deck for if i draft a certain player, and another name on deck for if i don’t get him. that said i’ll echo hg’s sentiments- new team names mofos. make it happen. oh, fyi my non-player dependent team name is Gay Vikings.
