That dunk is absurd.

i don't know which loc is the original but we did find the La Loma downtown back before the holidays and it immediately jumped to the front of the line as far as Mexican food here goes! the homemade tortillas were a major score (sooo good!), the tortilla soup tastes very similar to Baby As in its prime, the crispy tacos and fajitas are absolutely fantastic. it's a bit pricey but most things here are. sadly...still no texmex enchiladas to be had 😒, but the margaritas are loaded so all in all we're pretty happy to have found it! 😁
i think we tried Yazoo's a while back and once again it was OK, not great, and not what we were craving. that's where i actually asked them if they could slice my brisket instead of chop it (seriously, that's what they do here, take beautiful slices of brisket and go ginsu on it, so strange!) and the guy looked panicked and actually said 'i don't think we have a knife big enough to do that', which...wut. lol. 🙄
anyways, i've added Post Oak to our list to try... we'll keep testing 😄
La Loma was over in LoHi - close to 26th and Speer.
And yes brisket is chopped here. It is dumb.

I'm in Denver. I work with guys that have bought Post Oak for big group lunches. The guys from Texas, or that have lived in Texas, loved it. The natives generally hated it. Fucking weirdos. You're right about the complete lack of Tex Mex. Green chili sucks.
Seafood, Mexican food, and BBQ is a tough ask in Denver. Everything else can be had.
The best sushi place I’ve found is in Littleton.
Brewery Bar II is a good hole in the wall for Tex Mex. La Loma was good at the original location but seems to have lost a step after it moved.
Yazoo’s is the best BBQ I’ve had in the city.

Took a look. His longest putt to save par today was 7 feet. The next longest was 3 feet. What a stripe show.
-
Scheffler makes it look so easy. Dude is never in trouble and his sand game (see the two holes on the back) is ridiculous.
All he needs to do is putt average and he’ll win 5 more times this year.

Neither UVA nor CSU can rebound worth a shit which is what kills us. So if we play a little bit of defense I think we advance.

Is Porter Moser gonna survive?

Our history as a No. 7 seed isn't great regardless.
99-00? Rick Barnes.
08-09? Rich Barnes.
13-24? Richard Barnes.
Also that is playing to your seed two out of three times so I’m not sure what the point is.
-
I mean outside of the Barnes factor, Tenn seems like they should skull fuck us. But I do expect that to be the matchup in the second round.
-
Drawn with Matt Painter and Rich Barnes, two annual March choke artists? Way better than getting put on the 8/9 line in UConn’s region.
CSU started out the year red hot but they’ve generally played like shit outside of Fort Collins. They also don’t shoot it that great from three and, probably the best news, they don’t fucking rebound. I don’t think they have a great answer for Disu.

For those of you Dark Tower fans, who is a realistic option today (I.e., 1970’s Eastwood isn’t an option) to cast as Roland in the Flanagan Amazon adaptation?
I think Viggo could do it.

They seemed to have a lot of long teams back then. Gerry McNamara was annoying that night
We shot 43 percent from the field and 48 percent from 3 (13 makes) which against that team was pretty awesome. Ivey had a bad game and Mouton was inefficient but Ford pretty much did what we needed to do to break down the zone (13 assists).
Problem was Cuse shot 58 percent from the floor and that Texas team could defend across everything and it didn’t matter. Melo destroyed us and that was that.

that and the 2008 memphis games were the two worst matchups that two of our best ever teams could have faced. melo was on another planet against us in 03.
Did Memphis stop shooting FTs yet?

we got our asses kicked by a crappy ttu team in round 1 of the 2003 league tourney, and had we not run in to that freak of nature Melo i’m certain we still could have won the whole thing. i’ve always viewed it as a nice momentum thing if you win it, but i’ve never cared too much about losing early either. a shitty performance will irk me on the day, but losing early mostly just lets me breathe a sigh of relief that we weren’t going to lose a disu or an abmas to injury in what is a mostly meaningless game/series of games.
That Melo game in the semis was ridic. Of course it had to happen to us.

Here are the resumes of the guys you listed. You really have two sets... the end of career coaches and the mid-career coaches. Barnes and Samson are pretty similar in that they always have solid teams, but don't really have the hardware to show for it. Mark Few only has 2 Final Fours, but fourteen top-10 finishes. Calipari has a great resume but seems to have lost his fastball with NIL and the portal.
- Bill Self (61) - 2 Title + 2 FF + 7 EE + 3 S16, 15 top-10 finishes
- Tom Izzo (69) - 1 Title + 7 FF + 2 EE + 5 S16, 10 top-10 finishes
- Rick Pitino (71) - 2 Title + 5 FF + 5 EE + 1 S16, 12 top-10 finishes
- Mark Few (61) - 0 Title + 2 FF + 2 EE + 7 S16, 14 top-10 finishes
- John Calipari (65) - 1 Title + 5 FF + 6 EE + 3 S16, 14 top-10 finishes
- K. Sampson (68) - 0 Title + 2 FF + 2 EE + 3 S16, 4 top-10 finishes
- Rick Barnes (69) - 0 Title + 1 FF + 2 EE + 5 S16, 6 top-10 finishes
For the mid-career guys, I have a hard time saying Hurley, Beard or Bennett are better than Scott Drew. He has a title plus more elite 8s and more sweet 16s. And he started from absolute zero at Baylor. Also hard to put Beard above Bennett who beat him for a title and has better tourney success and top-10 finishes. Need to see more out Hurley who never even made a Sweet 16 before last year.
- Scott Drew (53) - 1 Title + 0 FF + 2 EE + 2 S16, 4 top-10 finishes
- Dan Hurley (51) - 1 Title + 0 FF + 0 EE + 0 S16, 1 top-10 finish
- Tony Bennett (54) - 1 Title + 0 FF + 1 EE + 1 S16, 5 top-10 finishes
- Chris Beard (51) - 0 Title + 1 FF + 1 EE + 0 S16, 2 top-10 finishes
- Mick Cronin (52) - 0 Title + 1 FF + 0 EE + 3 S16, 2 top-10 finishes
- Hubert Davis (53) - 0 Title + 1 FF + 0 EE + 0 S16, 0 top-10 finishes (only 3 yrs)
Good post. I agree you can’t rank Beard over Bennett but can group them in the same tier. Tough to rank anybody beyond Self imo. “Who is the second best coach in college basketball?” would field a ton of different answers.
-
Maybe if Beard would’ve scratched and clawed a little bit more Ole Miss would be off the bubble. Seemed like he had a stranglehold on a bid just a few weeks ago.

Bill Self is the best coach in basketball, then it’s a group that includes Beard, Bennett, Lloyd, Few, Hurley, and Sampson.
Pitino is a wild card because he’s at a shitty St. John’s program and he’s old. Not sure where to put him.
Then Izzo, Cronin, Drew, Hubert Davis, Cal, Barnes? The Iowa State coach is working his way into this convo.

There is no way Beard is a top five coach.It is a stretch to put him in the top 25.
Wut.

Definitely don’t get holding Disu back until 5 minutes left or whatever. By the time he came back in we were fucked.
-
Disu makes Jokic’s on/off minutes blush.
-
I’m shocked they didn’t call that on Disu!
-
Fuck this let’s win this shit.
-
I’d have just kept him in. Refs aren’t gonna foul him out at least right away.
We get the Winner: UVA and Colorado State - 8:10pm on truTV

Having three dudes drafted off that team probably had something to do with it.
