He's lost a step. Two moments that stood out to me were thinking Solo had been called for a foul on that block (although, to be fair, we were called for a foul on virtually every other possession) and when he said Demary was talking trash to the SJU bench, which was on the other end of the court.

That's so silly. What, do they think he'd be a 1AD if Hurley gave him 30 minutes a game? The staff is using Reibe the right way, and the opportunity will be there next season for him to be a standout. The portal has made everybody Veruca Salt. "I want it now!"

Fun fact: Smith is 16/56 from inside the arc. That's crazy.

Good advice ... for someone who doesn't live and work in NYC 😃

This is what my wallet looks like. I want to buy a slim wallet but I have 800 cards on me at all times. License, work ID, credit cards, ATM card, insurance card, etc. Plus I like to carry cash.

80 minutes of domination. I hope these guys are saving some heat for MSG. Hey McDermott, I guess you need a new bingo card because you definitely need a square for Ross making 3s.

You drew the wrong conclusion from that game. Emeka was able to play aggressively down the stretch against Randolph and then Horvath because he had fouls to give (and was rested). He dominated down the stretch. Instead of mixing it up in the first half with Williams and very likely picking up #3...

Yeah, it did feel like we lost momentum when he got benched, but the "we woulda won" theory rests on the (not insubstantial) assumption that Caron doesn't pick up #3. Like Williams did against us in '04.

Seems like a safe but not exciting choice. Not entirely clear, but it seems like he and Reid agreed before the season he wouldn't return as the KC OC. He really wants to be a HC again. This will give him the opportunity to get that shot. (Btw, in hindsight, his tenure as the Bears' HC wasn't...

But JC sitting Emeka in 2004 against Duke (while Shelden Williams picked up #3) balances that out.

This is a bad year for the BE. If this becomes the norm, then it's a problem. We need to get out anyway. You won't get any disagreement from me over that. But if the BE has a good year, then we definitely can have great weeks during conference play.

Well that may be why they didn't previously leapfrog us, but then they beat two top-10 teams.

I bet voters had already decided to move Michigan up. I wonder how far we would have fallen had we lost in Omaha. Anyway, we didn't! We stuffed them in a locker!

Not disagreeing with you but I think this was a combination of Michigan having a great week and the cumulative effect of us having a mediocre month. If we had handled business and put teams away like we should have, voters might still have kept us at #2. I was a bit surprised we kept staying at...
