March Madness is the greatest sporting event on the planet. No contest.

Performative charity rubs me the wrong damn way every time.

I dress more nicely for a day at work (shirt, tie, leather-bottom shoes, either a sport coat or quarter zip) than I do to funerals. Last I went to I'm pretty sure I wore a polo shirt.

Steve Nash isn't coaching basketball for UConn. Glad we could clear that up.

Suit Supply has been a big one for weddings I've been to. I like Spier and McKay for my work suits. Get the right shoulder size and other tailoring won't be much. Any higher end than that I won't know about

I don't think these are true. We could get better players. I suspect we could've reeled in Freeman, for example. But our staff prioritized culture fit over anything else. And it pays off in a HUGE way in development and winning.

How many thousands of players in the portal are there? How many have we had visit campus? You're acting like the staff is offering any kid with a pulse

What?

High-major d1 players are really fricken good. I remember people being shocked in some summer video that Brimah had handles. Veryyyy different thing to do that against an NBA defense.

Since the all-star break he's shot 41% from 3. Dropped the TOs that he had issues with early to 2.8. 17/6/8 overall.

He's not a 1v1 legend. He's a Youtuber. None of those guys are actually very good or they'd be playing actual pro ball. He breaks the guy down with 48 billion dribbles. It's not a big deal. It's two guys goofing off after runs at a camp. It's just nothing that moves my opinion of the kid one...

For sure. It's just for fun I'm not ribb9ng the kid. I'm sure at the camp they're doing 3 dribble max drills. Defender around a cone, extra point for a left hand finish. Whatever.

Am I the only one who doesn't find this impressive at all? He's fumbling the ball and loose with it. I've seen way better from him. Not a guy who has a 1v1 skillset like that. He looks best shooting or downhill physicality attacking closeouts

Who are you?

It's a factual take. They're recruited for their basketball and you make the academics work later. I've been through this process with kids myself. UConn has recruited players who can literally barely read. Basketball players are also just dumb on the whole. My college team could barely tie...
