Regardless of what anyone said this week, yesterday, today, or tomorrow I don't think 2 days is going to make the difference between medically unavailable and good enough to play. He wasn't held out yesterday out of caution. It's just worse than people thought.

In 2005 we struggled with 15 seed UCF before losing in the 2nd round. In 2006 we struggled with 16 seed Albany before struggling again with Kentucky, Washington, and in the Elite 8. Small sample, but in our history, teams that are going to have a smooth ride usually do so out of the gate...

Exactly

Well, basically called this

This is how it goes every year.

Would not remotely be surprised. If there's going to be misdirection, it would be towards thinking he would be available, but then not playing. It's gone that way a million times this year and almost never the opposite.

Nobody would think to do that with 2 seconds. Maybe 5 or 6. Hoping that they miss a 40-footer is usually a good strategy!

These offenses down the stretch are generally putrid. Kentucky spreads it and a guy goes 1 on 1 for a contested pullup 19 footer.

It'll be matchup dependent, but we had our way with Xavier on offense all 3 times, so anything close to that would make for an easy night.

After St. Mary's and Gonzaga underwhelmed last night, I thought Santa Clara were going to be frauds. Maybe Kentucky (and the whole middle of the SEC) are just out-frauding them.

I understand playing games the other way, like SMU did. Pretend a guy is going to play when he won't. I don't see the argument the other way, especially for a 2-15 game.

Major improvement, sure. Still wouldn't be relevant either in the ACC or nationally. Maybe the occasional 4 seed and second weekend appearance. Think in the category of a Creighton, Clemson, Oklahoma, Maryland. Programs you've heard of, but aren't going out of your way to tune into and not...

How can McNamara not be the frontrunner after yesterday? He'd have to take the job for money and nostalgia reasons, but nothing is going to revive that irrelevant, moribund program.

A good indication, but this is also what SMU said right before their guy sat out on Wednesday.

The Texas center is like a 70% shooter normally. He just choked. Most of those misses weren't even close. Fortunately they held on anyway.
