    Thad Matta Retires from Butler

    It’s not. I’m glad Matta is retiring. He’s a really, really old and worn 58 years old…go sit on a beach and read a book and leave the basketball grind.

    St. John's Post Game Thread

    Again. What does he do well? Average ball handler, below average defender, not a plus-athlete. Not a particularly gifted passer. Physically, he’s more high school than college, let alone NBA - he’s just weak. He can’t get to the rim against decent defenders - guy has taken 25 free throws all...

    St. John's Post Game Thread

    He is so, so, so far from being an NBA player. Maybe he will be at some point, but there’s not one part of his game that you would consider elite right now. He’s a good shooter, but past that….what does he do?

    St. John's Post Game Thread

    They are what I thought they were, but continue to argue about it. Dan Hurley has not done them any favors by blowing smoke other butts all year.

    Thoughts on Big East title game

    What if we try none of those things?

    Nope. I’m right. Rest of what you wrote was nonsense.

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Louisville had Michael Corleone and we had Tom Hagen, not that it would have made much of a difference. 2003 was far more interesting than 2012 - 2012 was not as dramatic as we remember it. Maryland bailed on the ACC on the 20th, Louisville was basically the pick a week later. We were dead in...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    You’re allowed to be wrong. But you’re not allowed to change the facts as they were in order to pretend you’re not. A decade-plus later, Stanford, California and SMU are in the ACC and despite being considered three times by the Big 12 and winning however many championships, the ACC is not one...

    UMass > MAC for all sports in 2025-2026

    The Rutgers fans would have stopped talking to me well before Matt the Villanova fan did.

    No, no, no….you’re trying to get me to give him up so you can study him in a lab or something. No way. Not today, Satan.

    OT: Why does Lebron flop?

    I do get a chuckle out of that thing where James complains to the ref while checking for blood that's never there. Or when he goes down like he's been hit by a truck and lays there slapping the floor in pain....and the team is so used to it that no one checks on him and the trainer never moves.

    I know a UMass fan. Not giving away his location. It's like protecting the last dodo bird.

    UMass > MAC for all sports in 2025-2026

    Two of the current ten most active threads on this board started in 2012 and 2013. We have a pizza thread that is 15 years old. There are middle schoolers who were not alive when some of our current conversations started. None of those conversations have even come close to getting around to the...

    UMass > MAC for all sports in 2025-2026

    The schedule was just full. Hawaii just didn't make any sense with a conference slate. They have the eight conference games. You have the "god, I hope we can win" FCS buy game against Stony Brook. You have the "this will hurt but it will pay the bills" road game for a million at Indiana. Then...

    What's Your Take: Should the NCAA do away with Conference Tournaments?

    He hasn't breathed the same air that a mid or low major team breathes for a very, very long time so he's just out of touch. The conference tournament is the thing for those conferences.
