There's been a good amount of evidence lately that the committee basically has the seed lines set by Saturday morning, so I'm skeptical that any title game result would matter too much, but I'd love to be wrong.
Sinner wins and was absolutely dominant, didn't face a break point all match. He's 10-0 in his last 10 matches against top 10 opponents, and hasn't dropped a set during that streak.
I'm not sure how you beat him on hardcourt, he has borderline prime Djokovic movement skills with way more...
It ended with some bad blood with Oriakhi but he might be one of the most underrated UConn defensive players ever. Go re-watch the San Diego State and Arizona games, he took away whatever they wanted to do offensively, unfortunately he was in foul trouble for a decent part of the Arizona game.
It's been the case pretty much all year, but the offensive approach for this team just kinda sucks. Refuse to work counts, swing at pitches out of the zone contstantly, poor sense of situational hitting. Very unusual for a Penders team.
12 of Federer's 20 slams came by the end of 2007, before Nadal and Djokovic were in their prime. He's obviously an all time great by any metric, but he had a big advantage in being able to beat up on a relatively weaker era of tennis than Nadal and Djokovic.
Thabeet's impact was truly impossible to measure, as cliche as it was. People would refuse to go inside the paint against him out of fear of him. I remember a game against Notre Dame maybe his sophomore year where their guys were pump faking 4 or 5 times before passing back out if they happened...
Roscoe was really the guy that took a lot of Jamal Coombs-McDaniel's minutes from what I remember. Jamal Coombs-McDaniel wasn't fluid enough as an athlete to be a guard at the college level so he had to carve out the 3/4 hybrid role. Roscoe just happened to be way better defensively and Calhoun leaned on him a lot particularly...
He came into a tough situation- Calhoun was in and out the whole year, Boatright's suspension, Boatright and Napier's alleged rift, the guy he was effectively replacing (Oriakhi) was upset at the coaching staff. He still showed some pretty good flashes, I remember the first 5-6 minutes of the...
I think NCAA violations are a thing of the past. The impermissible benefits stuff will be basically gone, and if you think the NCAA has something on you otherwise, just refuse to cooperate until they go away.
Those Spotrac numbers are misleading, since the G League I believe doesn't publish individual salaries, Spotrac lists every player as being under a Exhibit 10/Minimum contract, but the ~900k to ~1million number would be his salary only if he spent the entire year on the NBA roster, not the...
