  1. Alabama vs Auburn tonight: Bama: 28-35 FT Auburn: 40-50 FT 🤮🤮🤮
  2. tennessee up 40-22 on LSU with 4:40 left in the 1H. vols have 13 ast on 15 made baskets. never would have thought so coming into the season, but as of now this is rick’s best team that he’s had at tennessee. very deep and balanced. still not sure what march will have in store when depth matters where less and matchups are everything, but damn this is one impressive, well rounded team.
  3. season four is definitely my favorite season. same goes for a lot of the cast. of course i worked in education for many years and those kids have my heart. season four is probably the toughest season as well, but damn its so good.
  4. lamont paris looks like a pretty good hire for SC. they’ve got wins against mississippi state, kentucky, and tennessee as well.
  5. one of the greatest musicians of our time.
  6. kenpom currently projects Texas to be tied with BYU for 10th in the league at 8-10. only UCF, WVU, and OSU predicted to finish with a worse record.
  7. got to attend my first game this year. some of the TO’s we gave up tonight were hard to watch in person. just inexplicable. no pressure, early in the clock, running our offense, and we just pick up the dribble 24 feet from the rim with no plan and then just turn it over, almost purposely. the crowd was incensed with the stupid turnovers. with how close everyone is to the court compared to the FEC i’ve never heard a crowd so unanimously/openly upset with the offensive play.
  8. every guy i can think of (from any school) who was an uber aggressive, successful, defensively ready freshman only got better as his career went on. those guys only fall off if they get hurt.
  9. i would say ‘yes’ if he hadn’t been so aggressive and such a good defender as a freshman. that’s what’s so weird. guys who play like he did as a freshman basically never fall off. they might not grow as much as other guys, but they never fall off. a great defender with great effort and athleticism falling off like this? something is off.
  10. wrong. he was also a big xii all-defense member as a freshman plus a great athlete. he was an outstanding free safety style defender who used his athleticism and anticipation to wreak havoc on opposing offenses. he also used to dunk all over people and play like an uber aggressive athletic freak. he projected to be an elite defender and athlete in CBB who could score at all three levels. and now he’s almost useless. his hype was for real, and his downfall has been extremely surprising. edit: i was going to add some of this to my response BF, but then morgantownhorn made his post so i decided to just put it all here. the hype for Hunter was warranted.
  11. that’s why. CBB fans put waaaaaay too much stock into tourney results. its the same reason why a coach who wins 25 games/yr will be shit on by his fan base if he doesn’t regularly go to the second or third weekend. CBB has become like the world cup: nobody cares what you did in qualifying (aka the cbb regular season); they only care what you do in the big dance (unrightfully so in CBB). also je was an outstanding defender as a freshman.
  12. how did this guy: become what he is today? it’s not normal. something has to be going on to be causing this type of downturn in play.
  13. it’s night and day. i mentioned it in a previous post, how i struggle to name another player who shows up as a freshman as a defensive force, as an aggressive, explosive player on offense, and who then just fades away into the mist for the rest of his career, like he’s not even a JAG. there’s got to be something behind the scenes that’s going on. it doesn’t add up. the only other guy i can think of who regressed like this was james thomas, and he had serious issues with his feet and hips which caused him to physically deteriorate, and to become worse and worse as a player. there’s just got to be something going on behind the scenes.
  14. i just wrapped up my ~8th viewing of the series. there’s a hole inside me every time it ends. what a show. best show i’ve ever seen by a thousand miles. every single time i go through it i just pick up on more and more details. it’s aston ding how much substance they packed into five seasons. it’s also amazing how the show manages to make me hate these guys: more than i hate a bunch of cold blooded killers and gangsters.
  15. with the shoes seemingly having an arizona theme to them i am assuming that bijan had a say in the design.
  16. it must be brutal watching rutgers games.
  17. k state in big xii play under tang: 12-2 at home, 4-10 on the road.
