We live relatively close to West Point. I'd say about five percent of the cadets look like they just stepped off the set of Terminator. The other 95% walked off the set of Revenge of the Nerds. You'll see them out and about and silently pray that they're part of the drone pilot crew or something.

Well, the numbers were faked. Quick update on the economic impact numbers some of you took as gospel. Turns out that the company that Sac State hired to make up numbers made up numbers and gave them to Sac State who took the fake numbers and created even more fake numbers. In a nutshell, as...

Great game. No notes.

I wouldn’t draft that kid at gunpoint.

The Quad system remains hilarious We lost a Quad 3 game which was immediately remastered into a Quad 2 loss and a Quad 2 win was turned into a Quad 1 win. Some school with a nerd is eventually going to figure out that losing a particular game is better than winning it.

1) You’re right. 2) They might be right, also. Seeds are pretty overrated anyway. We’ve won from one and we’ve won from out of the clouds.

I would not spend a hell of a lot of time worrying about the one seed. Unless they improve markedly and immediately, they’re a three seed in one week’s time.

This is a bigger factor than gets mentioned. We've had a lot of the blow by issues in the past, but it kinda gets settled in our favor when we have a DC back there.

Where Alex is or isn't drafted has absolutely no bearing on what he's meant to UConn. It doesn't matter.

By no means do I want to pin all of this on Solo - he’s talented player, but it’s a matter of having too many cooks in the kitchen with that lineup. I think you make the first rotation and the second better by subbing him in when Braylon or AK comes out.

So, here’s the argument for either Stewart or Reed over Solo with the starting lineup. Solo commits his third foul and goes out with just under four minutes left in the first half - we’re down 37-34. He’s out until about 16 minutes left in the second half. Stewie and Reed cover that span in his...

The Silas-Solo-Braylon-AK-TR starting lineup. It's too duplicative and you end up with three guys waiting around for Silas to get them the ball for a three. And when you have a very high volume shooter like Solo who really does not add much if he's not scoring, the lineup does not work that...

Not shocked. We've been waiting for this to happen for the entirety of the conference season and now it has. We're really not very good. But worse, we're not very good by design. Our best rotations are rotations that we avoid because we feel some kind of obligation to certain players...

It used to be that schools would get a partial distribution for x number of years. I think Cal and Stanford dramatically lowered that bar and then SMU eliminated the bar altogether. My worry is that the invitation, if it ever comes, will come with an invoice.

Crazy thing is that Calhoun's teams often were terrible at inbounding the ball, too. We're institutionally deficient at it. But Dan Hurley's answer about it was awful. Just make things a little simpler so it does not take 4.75 seconds to get someone open to receive the ball.
