He was absolutely full of himself in his undeserved "plucky underdog great coach" reputation. Ironic.

What's infuriating for the coach, and why his rage is justified (though not physically charging an official), is: 1) Neither of the first two swipes were called, while the third, with about equivalent levels of contact, was 2) The third foul was considered to be in the act of shooting, with a...

Some nuance here: they actually had 5 team fouls. They weren't fouling to put him on the line, they were fouling to take more time off the clock.

Very clear agenda at play here. Well spotted.

11.5 is an inflection point. Less than that and it's possible for the favorite to cover as long as they have any kind of a lead and there's fouling in the final minute. Above that, it basically requires a blowout (or expanding a lead late in the game). Not sure I see a blowout here on the...

College basketball is now a professional minor league sport with better branding and brand loyalty. This is just the next (mind-numbingly stupid) natural evolution.

I said earlier in the week that we need 20 BE wins between the regular season and BET to lock up a #1 seed. Seems Torvik agrees with me.

An unrated recruit who played at Loyola Maryland is now making 7 figures in the NBA. What a story.

I think it's going to take 20 wins, including the BET, to guarantee a #1 seed. The Big East will be just as tough as we thought, but the wins won't count for as much and the losses will hurt more.

Despite the rest of the conference underperforming OOC, I have a hard time seeing us run through BE play with only 2 losses. The 2024 team was historically good and lost 2 games. We're going to get everyone's best shot, from disappointing St. John's through moribund Creighton. I thought 15-5...

Newton's first season was 2023, with Hawkins-Jackson-Sanogo, not with Castle. But I think that's a decent comp for Demary. Newton was a question mark for a lot of that season, and then he came on and was arguably the MVP of the championship game, scoring, distributing, rebounding, at the FT line.

lol I said we'd win comfortably, but with a margin in the 9-12 point range. We got a 10 point lead midway through the first and then led by 6-12 points for like 98% of the remaining 30 minutes. Doesn't get much more "exactly how I expected" than that.

Well this went basically exactly how I expected. Also extracted some easy cash on the live Under (152.5) early second. Whenever we lead by 10 in the second half, the game grinds to a halt.

Eek, do people really do this? I can't imagine the game lands within a 1-2-point margin window often enough to overcome the vig. If the line moves that much and I'm on the right side of it, I'm just riding it.

At that kind of margin and time left, with no chance of actually losing the game, you bet.
