The team building strategy is clear…need to use the portal for centers and point guards that take longer to develop and only bring in 2’s/3’s/4’s from HS unless they are top 15-20 one and done talents.

I personally think he comes back. Getting so close to winning it all and falling short stings and if we get that core group of guys with Ball, Ross, Demary, Stewart, Reibe to run it back again I don’t think he’s leaving much $$ on the table. Come back and be our primary option as a scorer and...

We’re still undefeated in National Championship games wearing white jerseys that are not officiated by James F Breeding.

What's the over/under on how many times Silas is going to pick off one of the lazy over the shoulder passes thrown by Cadeau about 20 times per game? Michigan moves the ball around pretty well, but they sometimes get very sloppy with their passing. Cut off the head of the snake in Cadeau and we...

I also read a quote from Solo this morning that his injury happened in the first half and this tomahawk dunk was later in the 2nd half...so he did that on his injured foot. Pretty insane. He basically said his adrenaline was so high he didn't feel any pain. I fully expect him to play tonight and...

Mara impacted so many shots last night it was ridiculous…the problem is UConn is going to put up 30-35 three pointers and he’s not a factor out beyond the arc. He could help neutralize Reed, but our game plan isn’t to “pound the paint” like Arizona. Our plan needs to be making them defend us for...

Arizona doesn’t run very good offense..it’s all just iso and dribble into the lane. Michigan going zones bunch just daring Arizona to shoot and they are driving into Mara anyway. Michigan looks damn good, but if you shoot 70% you’re gonna look great.

Michigan thinks they’re playing the championship game tonight…don’t care if they can’t miss tonight as long a the law of averages comes around on Monday

Not sure what Hurley is going to do about Mara, we need to somehow get him in some early foul trouble or run some sets where he can’t camp out in the paint

Can’t believe Yaxel is playing here…they’re up 20 and don’t need him out there. He’s one awkward landing from leaving on crutches just like Demary in the BE Final

Here's my hot take....if AK surpasses Rip in NCAA tournament scoring, we're cutting down the nets for #7.

It was definitely intentional, the Duke bench was calling for a foul.

Congrats on your betting. Based on everything I can find and running through multiple LLMs, it looks like in more modern games the percentage of teams that foul in this situation is up from 11.7% in 2010 to an estimated 20-30% in recent times. Again, that means 70-80% of the time teams aren’t...

You clearly don’t watch as much college ball as I do, it’s definitely not what most teams do. The largest recent study on the “foul up 3” question was performed by Harvard and it showed that 11.7% of teams intentionally committed a foul when leading by 3 at the end of a game. That’s not a...

Yeah exactly, which is why it isn’t “textbook”. 9/10 top tier coaches absolutely are not fouling there. You think Izzo or Pitino are fouling there up 3 with 10 seconds left? ZERO chance, they’re letting their defense try to win the game.
