I don't recall who said this many years ago, but it went something like this: "I've heard this from an NBA GM concerning potential 1st or 2nd round players deciding to return for another year, the more I see some of these college players the less I tend to like them." His point was that if a...

I decided to replay the recording of the National Championship game and lo and behold I somehow missed the Terry Crews and NBA Greats pep talk to both teams. I don't know how I missed it the first time. At first I thought it was a bit contrived but it got interesting when they showed some of...

Excellent assessment. There were so many facets to Cam's game that made him special.

Did you watch the clips?!? He didn't go to the rim very often, but when he did, he threw one down with authority. I don't think Cam dunked the ball even once this year. Cam has a solid build that handled a lot of contact. Koby has a slighter build which is probably why he doesn't go into the...

If Hurley and the staff could add Brea, McNeeley and Reed, that would be a nice haul. Improvement from the returning playerd plus those 3, plus the 2 incoming freshmen, would pretty much fill what we need and give us a shot at a repeat. I wonder though, if Hurley would Iike to find a defensive...

Watching those clips, I was completely shocked that he's not just a catch and shoot 3 Pt shooter. The kid has a handle, can jack it up lightning quick off the bounce, he plays above the rim, showed some quickness and looks like a dynamic scorer who apparently put it together late. Based on the...

You must have never seen KG when he first entered the league and must never have watched Giannis ever, who can get to the rim from the top of key with just 2 steps, like AJ does. Anyhow, he's a freak of an athlete, an excellent shooter and so much fun to watch. I can see why he's ranked #1 in...

He's 17. Where did you get the idea he's 12!?!?

AJ Dybantsa is impressive. First time seeing him. He's got a complete game. A freak athlete that has the longest strides that covers a lot of ground quickly. Great midrange game. Long arms and active on D. And he just knocked down a 3 and hit another one. Boy do I want us to land him. He's...

Think of it this way. When a year or two into your first job, you find yourself getting offers for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars more from other companies, wouldn’t you take one of the better offers? Can't blame these kids. With that said, Hurley will pursue those he thinks will fit...

I just love it when everything falls into place. So tonight I say, "Why not achieve a Three-peat!?!? We have the coach and staff to pull it off. We just need to pick up a few pieces via the portal and maybe one more HS recruit. I can't wait till next sesson begins.

AK is the type of player that might go in the second round this upcoming draft that might have first round talent 1 year from now if he returns and improves his game and consistency. If he can improve his 3 point efficiency, show more of that attacking the rim like he did in the tournament...

Agree. I don't recall seeing any attitude issues with Ball. Maybe I just never noticed. I thought I saw him fly off the bench with excitement when the buzzer sounded and #6 was achieved. And during timeouts he always seemed dialed in. Now if I were in his shoes, would I be disappointed after...

I didn't realize that he was relatively new to the game until I heard some reports about him. He's improved incrementally each year and he's pretty athletic for a body his size. I imagine that whichever team drafts him will have him work a lot on agility skills. I realized that it's not the...

This reminded me of a famous quote when a player, or coach, was asked, how do you try to stop George Gervin (the Iceman)? Answer: You just hope that his arm gets tired after 40 shots.

We have been for some time! We are now in a category above them all. I'm excited to see what pieces Hurley can add to the returning players and make a run at a three-peat.

Thanks for having my back. But I agree. Let's celebrate the positive. I regret going down that road even though Painter's comments bugged me.

Well not in the one on one interview, with the coach. Good to know he gave UConn credit during the press conference.

He didn't give any credit to UConn. Sorry to say that I lost a little respect for him.

I'm so proud of this team. They're hands down the most fun half court offense to watch. I hope Hurley will be able to add a few more players that along with the returning players can run this offense next year as well. But tonight is about this moment and this team!

Like other's have said get out in transition, but to facilitate that they must all box out fly to the rebounds and get it down court quickly. We team rebound very well.

I'm always careful to get Tristen's name right. Didn't realize I wasn't spelling Samson's name correctly. Thanks for pointing that out.

Do you know how many rebounds Samson has during this year's post sesson? He has a total of 8 rebounds in 7 games. He had 3 in one game and I think 1 or none in the other games. Now I didn't say he's a liability. There's just a noticeable drop off when he fills in for Clingan. I really like SJ...

Foremost on our minds is on beating Alabama followed by beating whoever comes out of the other half of -4, which I'm hoping is a multi-overtime affair on Saturday. I posted before the BET, why not go 9-0 during the tournament sesson? As many articles have highlighted, UConn has few to no...

...and nice long afternoon nap. :)

I'm mesmerized watching Burns operate in the paint. He's got an impressive touch going either right or left and is a good passer.

Hope Hurley is able to find others like him. I'll take one Castle over the bucket load of Burger AAs that UK gets who go home to stay after the first week of the tournament.

I like what Wolf brings to the floor and hope they get him here. Then see if they can add a defensive physical 5 that gives us a different look.

I'm sure this has been posted, but how stupid is it that the portal is open while the tournament is still going on. It puts teams that are still playing at a disadvantage. I just hope that once Hurley knows who's leaving and who's staying, that there will be some players still undecided that fit...

I like what little I've seen. Hope he stays and gets his shot at a bigger role. As for the portal, I'm sure Hurley will look at his options who he feels fits his system and culture, and who is attainable. It's not about stats as it is about fit.

One of many differences from last season is Clingan is an excellent passer out of the post which was not a strength of Sanogo. And there are more distributors and play makers on the floor at just about all times. It's crazy how on the floor we can have 3 lead guard type players who can pass and...

He won't be able to raise his arm above his shoulder, but other than that he'll be fine. :)

I'm very late to the party...been a busy day, but it seems like the committee decided all the top 4 seeds before the conference tournaments had been decided. Auburn, Illinois nor Iowa State were expected to win their conference tournaments, but they're all flaming hot heading into the NCAA...

They were down by as much as 6 points with 27 seconds left in the game. Brown missed some critical late free throws. Yale gained their composure and pulled it out.

Just horrible. Doesn't it seem like these high ankle (lower leg) breaks seem to be happening during the conference or NCAA championships?
