  1. holy shit some kid from kent state just made the biggest mental blunder i’ve seen all year. kent state scores a put back dunk with ~5 seconds left to take a one point lead, akron in kinds the ball, and for reasons that i cannot explain, a kent state player just immediately/intentionally fouls the akron guard and sends him to the line. unreal.
  2. i’m sure i’m just losing my mind, but i looked at this five times and i did not see Texas in the field of 68: https://www.on3.com/news/espn-releases-updated-bracketology-ncaa-tournament-projections-24-hours-ahead-of-selection-sunday/
  3. this a&m postseason run is seriously wild. they’ve been the worst shooting team in major college basketball all year. their entire offense is predicated on rebounding the numerous shots which they invariably miss. this tourney performance has been unbelievable.
  4. @immamac please pin this topic to the top of the board. 🙏🏼
  5. winning the NIT under shaka was so weird. i went to the opening game and sat courtside with my dad and a bunch of his old media/SID buddies, and there was maybe 1,500 people in the building. i’ve been to a pflugerville girls HS game at the FEC where the lower bowl was completely full and folks were sitting in the mezzanine. very strange experience to be playing NDSU or whoever and to literally be able to have conversations with their players during the game, which i did lol. then when we won, i was really happy for our guys, as we had a really likable team who all wanted to play and win for each other (andrew jones, courtney ramey, roach, osetkowski, etc), and watching them celebrate on the court was a really nice moment. two seconds after that i was over i was all: the title meant/means nothing to me. my local HS team winning state would mean more to me. there really is no point to that tournament anymore. it was a big deal 50 years ago, but at this point it really serves no purpose.
  6. reminder of payouts: regular season: $200- i’ll get durdy and timmy to pay this out champion- $500 runner up- $200 third- $100 @RexWilson where ya at buddy?
  7. nobody even really talks about tj ford or dwyane wade because of melo. that was a truly special individual season. i’ve hated that asshole ever since.
  8. what do i have to do to get you to say that tennessee will lose in the first weekend? juan soto autograph signing at the valle vista mall in harlingen? cuz i’ll make it happen. i need this. help me help you.
  9. yeah but you’re also going to be 100% right at the end of the day lol.
  10. 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.
  11. no offense but i am exclusively interested in @Helobious prediction for the vols in the tourney.
  12. down 56-50 with 13:44 left vs Baylor.
  13. if we can get 8 we can either expand the rosters or do AL/NL only and i think it’ll still be worth doing. i’ll stay on the prowl for another player.
  14. what is your prediction for tennessee in the ncaa tourney?

  16. back to back champ coming in not for three-peat!
  17. 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.
  18. barnes recreating his 2003 conference tourney performance. now that’s 4D chess.
  19. just want to remind people that i once went to a game at the FEC where not only was the student section behind the basket sparsely populated, but that several of the students who were there had out their biochem textbooks and were studying together. not good enough? i watched kevin durant play in front of a crowd of 4,000 people. google it. it was the Centenary game that year. the arena was 1/4 full with kevin durant on the team. chris beard got those same december matchups to go from that ^^^ nonsense to the arena being packed with excited and basketball-crazy students, even when we were playing SE Montana Christian school of Judaism. you cannot honestly have experienced the game day atmosphere pre-beard and with beard and not come away calling him the pied piper. he absolutely transformed the game day/student experience. revolutionized it here at Texas.
