  1. I remember being shocked that Westbrook was so highly sought after by the NBA. His skillset at the time he was drafted was similar to what we see from Weaver. He was basically a slasher who barely handled the ball outside of wheeling in from the wings. Darren Collinson and even Josh Ship were their main ball handlers that year.
  2. He needs to improve his handle and perhaps his composure on the offensive end. He gets ahead of himself at times, but if anyone remembers Russell Westbrook at UCLA, Weaver reminds me a lot of him. Just a spaz of loosely controlled energy, especially during Westbrook's freshman season.
  3. Muthafuckers are delusional.
  4. Too much shit is made of the roster construction. Holland and AJ Johnson were late decisions that fucked up Terry's "roster construction". Horton didnt even get picked up until like a month before school started.
  5. He played 29 minutes today, which was 3rd on the team behind Abmas and Horton.
  6. NBA Gleague Ignite is no more. A year too late for us. https://theathletic.com/5359987/2024/03/21/g-league-ignite-shut-down-nba?source=user-shared-article "The NBA is shutting down the G League Ignite team after this season, canceling the development squad of elite draft prospects and veterans that was launched in 2020, sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic on Thursday, a decision that was confirmed by the league later in the day. The NBA launched the Ignite at a point when no other American pro league provided a path for pre-draft eligible players to be significantly compensated to play before entering the draft. With the rise of name, image and likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal in college basketball, the need for the Ignite elite team was eliminated. Now, NIL allows players to earn money while going to college and receiving NCAA experience."
  7. Yall joke, but UT Geography Prof Kirk Goldsberry was a major catalyst for the Spurs decision to start emphasizing the corner 3 and the development of a lot of their strategies and tactical alignment was based off of the spatial data he collected and the analysis he did for them.
  8. I believe it's become a data analysis type of degree. I have a frat brother who started off as an EE major and eventually graduated with a geography degree back in the late 90s. He eventually got a job dealing in Geographical Information Systems and ultimately did really well for himself. I had the same thoughts as you at the time when he made the switch, but it worked out for him. Of course he eventually got an MBA, but he was doing really well before he went the upper management route.
  9. Was the transfer portal in use back then? If not then apples ton oranges.
  10. Dan and Jake's friendship (actually it was TC who struck up the initial friendship with the 2 of them) with Matt Bruenig and Philip Kingston really turned out to be a big factor in their corner. And I can't help but think that Dan didn't already start piecing this together long before he made the decision to quit. I don't know whether it's due to being from the Midwest or what, but Dan is fairly well studied in labor issues and has exhibited a keen interest on the subject throughout his time at the Ticket. For a year or so prior to quitting he spearheaded a number of segments specifically targeting non-competes and issues surrounding the subject. He'd routinely reference Bruenig on the topic and give thinly veiled comments that were obviously aimed at Cumulus. Dan's much sharper than he let's on and despite his demuring to the contrary, he probably discussed a number of these issues with Bruenig long before they quit. In fact, I specifically remember Dan bringing up the exact NRLB rule that was ultimately the basis for Dan and Jake's complaint with the NRLB against Cumulus in a segment on The Hang Zone.
  11. It's interesting to go back through this thread and look at the wide swath of land that existed between the early prognostications about how Dan and Jake were going to get taken to the woodshed and what eventually happened. Well, I guess they did get taken to the woodshed, but not in the manner that people were predicting.
  12. Lol!! Exactly, like we're about to suit up.
  13. Which conference tourney auto qualifiers spoiled it for 4 teams. I know Oregon wouldn't have made without winning their tourney. What other teams knocked teams out?
  14. Uh, no it doesn't. We're literally in the top 20 out of 362 teams in offensive efficiency.
  15. Pretty sure we played him the previous 2 years. Playing Barnes this year will make 3 years on a row that we've played him.
  16. I'm really not sure what to do about this bullshit.
  17. They created the section for students behind the baskets during the 00s, prior to that all student seating was in the rafters. As an avid college basketball fan who arrived on campus in the mid 90s that was extremely disappointing to discover I wouldn't be seated close to the action and had no ability to really affect the game.
  18. TCU started off the conference by absolutely getting jobbed at the Phog. The refs found a way to call an egregious to fragrant foul on a fun of the mill defensive rebound right as TCU was about to lock up a really good road win.
  19. Shockingly we've been in the top 30 ADjO in 5 of our last 6 seasons.
  20. Back to back a seasons with a top 20 AdjO. As much as this fanbase has complained about this program's offense over the last 20+ years you'd think this achievement would be notable.
  21. So I take it state championship games are no longer onb Bally's/Fox sports southwest.
  22. I was shocked to find out TAPPS already employs the shot clock.
  23. Miles just announced that the principals of both Carnegie Vanguard High School and HSPVA are going to be placed on the to be fired list. Oh by the way Carnegie Vanguard High School is currently ranked as the 5th best public high school in the state and #35 Nationally according the the US News & World Report rankings.
