They apparently offered to open the season with a neutral site game. Denver was an option. But it was offered publicly after ND had privately rejected the idea. Face saving move by the Trojans. I heard their AD and the Texas AD and one other, Nebraska maybe, say the same thing. Basically we are...

Or St Johns.

Murray does what Holtman did at DePaul and he will be recognized as a genius. It’s funny that BC was a serious player with serious head coaches from about the mid-60s until the early 2000s. Bob Cousy, Chuck Daley, tom Davis, Gary Williams, Jim O’Bien. Went to Sweet 16s and the Elite 8. But...

I’m not so sure about mid-majors not competing. And they make the tournament interesting in any case. Don’t tell me you weren’t rooting for Siena. And I think that mid-majors do get somewhat under ranked as metrics have become more important. End result is they have to play much higher...

I’m with the people who say Tate’s was bigger. It changed the narrative for UConn as a program. Before that shot there was only one person in the country who believed UConn could win a National Championship. After that one lots of people believed. People who weren’t around then have no...

My memory was Ricky Moore scoring twice when Duke was getting out early and we looked a little bit star struck. Then at the end Ricky forced Taejon to travel. Under appreciated big time performance.

I heard the AD from USC talk about not playing ND in part because they want to soften their non conference schedule to make it easier to get into the playoffs. Texas said that too. As always the Irish are one step ahead of the curve.LOL

You know there will be an opening on the staff next season. Though Hurley might be hesitant to add Chief. He would want the shown up as a casual fan by an assistant😉

Reed was the other one. Nonsense stat.

Anybody remember Karban’s block? And the put back of the Reed miss. Both key plays.

Hey, when you have 1 less national championship than La Salle and fewer final fours than Providence getting to the Sweet 16 is a huge accomplishment. Very good job Johnnies. Rick has done a masterful job of making you pretty good.

We desperately need a sniper. Every goalie is a hot goalie against us. This was a good if sometimes frustrating group but it needed another scorer worst way. They had 40-50 shot games pretty regularly and only came away with 1 or 2 goals far too often. Still I think in was great that they...

Go Huskies! Wish I could be there!

What? You are kidding, right? Florida a blue blood, please. They won 2 titles 20 years ago and then last year. They have been to 1 other If people don’t consider UConn a blue blood there is no way Florida is even in the conversation. UNC was in the national championship game in 2022. Won it...

The only team they might have struggled with only playing 4 on 5 was Purdue. The rest the still win.
