    Villanova Postgame Thread

    They’re 32nd in the country in turnovers per game. That’s not disastrous by any means, but taking care of the ball hasn’t been a strength of theirs all season.

    This team has never been quite as good as its record, and all their flaws caught up to them tonight. They need Reed, Karaban, and Solo to find the best versions of themselves in a hurry.

    Villanova Postgame Thread

    There are positives that come from being tested on the road and winning games when they’re not playing their best. That’s likely to happen at least once during the NCAA tourney en route to a championship. At the same time, this team can be extremely careless with the ball at times, and that...

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    SGA does some foul baiting nonsense that’s frustrating to watch but a) it’s nowhere near as bad as prime Harden, and b) the criticism is largely misplaced at him rather than NBA officials continuing to give him those calls. If the refs simply stopped making those calls, the players would adjust...

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    Here come the zebras trying to get OKC back in this one.

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    The 4-seeded Pacers had a 2-1 series lead in the finals after knocking out a 60-win Cavs win earlier in the playoffs. I’m not sure this is the year to be beating the “NBA is predictable” drum.

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    Comical whistle in favor of OKC already.

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    Last night’s game was really fun, but I’m going to have to wait to see the ratings before deciding whether or not I enjoyed it.

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    It probably wouldn’t matter tonight with how OKC is playing, but it’s crazy how much fouling they get away with.

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    Tough night to be an NBA hater.

    Ever wonder what Coach Calhoun's starting five would be if he could choose from all his players?

    I kind of get it if you’re building a team to win in college. His lineup gives you two elite shooters (Ray and Ben), two elite ball handlers (Kemba and Ben), and one do-everything forward (Caron) around an elite defensive center and lob threat (Emeka). If it were up to me, Rip would be in my...

    Mount Rushmore Now Clear

    Not everyone can make the Mount Rushmore - it’s a simple numbers thing. Tina is in that tier right below with the likes of Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo, etc.

    Mount Rushmore Now Clear

    Sue was an all-timer, but I don’t think she had the same dynamism or ability to impact the game as Paige. We saw Paige go from being a pure point guard as a freshman, when she led the team to the final four, to playing both forward spots last year out of necessity and still carrying the team...

    USC Postgame Thread

    Not the worst thing in the world for them to go through some adversity before the Final Four, but it goes without saying they have to play levels above this to win next weekend. That all starts with Azzi being good for more than one quarter, and they’ll need more from their role players across...

    Creighton Post game thread

    Agreed. I’m all for continuing to run the sets that won them back-to-back titles, but this team doesn’t have the personnel or the skill to run that offense all game long. It’s inexplicable to me how they haven’t figured out a two-man game with Liam/Solo or Liam/Karban that they can go to when...
