We sat near his family at the Butler game. They are a really fun group. The look he gave them when he finally got a shot to fall had us rolling.

Is two games a pattern?

I'd do #&$ing cartwheels (at 49 with 25 extra pounds). I just don't think it's likely.

DePaul came out with an unsustainable level of intensity and physicality. It was obvious how this game was going to play out after the first five minutes.

He’s been good all year. The only bad game he had was against Arizona.

I'll keep that in mind for when I'm wrong. I'm sure it will happen eventually . . . 😉

Nobody going to the games actually lives in Hartford.

I'm questioning what office foreclosure rates (not vacancy rates) have to do with the crowd at a game?

When your "explanation" is objectively wrong, there's nothing to get. And LOL at the idea that Dan agrees with you when he's been committed to hard hedges (with the right personnel) since the beginning. The only thing we agree on is that Hurley is searching for an answer here. The personnel...

Half of the office buildings everywhere are in foreclosure.

Calhoun's hedge strategy was "step and recover", to give the guard just enough time to fight over the screen. We tended to give up some open 3s when the big dropped too quickly or the guard didn't get through the screen. Last night, we fouled more in the second half, when we mostly abandoned...

We still allow a lot of dribble penetration, but it doesn't seem to impact teams' ability to score against us.

11:10 is the right basketball play, dropping back when the guard penetrates from the top of the key. If he doesn't do that there is nobody back on a missed shot. Though I wasn't sure whether you were talking about his movement on the initial penetration or when Silas takes it back out. If...

You still think Castle would have gone elsewhere if Newton didn't declare, or announced his decision to come back earlier. Which makes you a non-serious person . . .

I think the personnel is not build for blitzing ball screens, but we've been so terrible in drop coverage that we need to find another way. At least when you blitz the ball screen, you're disrupting the ball handler. And you will apparently never learn that the point of a hard hedge is not to...
