hmmm, I'm slow on the uptake but now starting to understand why we blew away the field in the NCAA tournament.

Wondered how tall he is and a quick search told me 6'3, 6'4 and 6'5. So now you know.

It's the mysterious aforementioned European!

We all saw the tools from day one. Then he got healthy and he was really good.... and then he got healthy and fully learned the system and became incredible. Incredible future ahead but he'll always be a husky.

You could never do this question as a poll because not everyone knows the teams of decades past. I wonder what Jim Calhoun, Tom Moore or Phil Chardis would say?

hard upvote for "diamonds in our stool"

Nice words about Newton, hope it happens!

News does hit fast, and it is good for instant reactions during games, but it is also a busted, gushing sewage pipe of awfulness from an army of morons and jackals.

That would be a college or nba record.

Borges should have done the wink

What's the best one? Mi Sabor?

Hey the boneyard way isn't lying, it's making massive assumptions and leaps of logic, then dying on those hills while descending into bitter personal arguments.

By the time they played in the PKI, sixth game of Donovan's freshman year, Bill Walton was raving about Clingan and how well he'd been coached in high school.

That quote was going around in some reporting and I think too much has been made of it. They knew he was good coming in, obviously (Cam was really good at Rutgers), but when the practices started, he was even better than expected... probably a side effect of joining a better offense with more...

welcome to the madhouse!

The Isaac Newton quote comes to mind: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." (No relation to Tristen)

that's exactly right - Hurley has two incredible proof points for his pitch. One is what you just mentioned - he personally took less money for the right reasons. The other is the Stephon Castle example. You can win, become better and reach the next level when you put the team first and not...

I am a basket case during big games. Was nervous until it was obvious mid second half that our lead would not shrink. When I rewatched and saw how we were erasing their perimeter game I wondered why I was ever nervous. Also that one elbow edey threw into Alex's upper chest was a felony.

I can deal with the late start but it's tough on kids on the east coast. We're trying to indoctrinate them into the cult!

I feel like he chooses his spots to exert himself, and conserves energy much of the time. Still impressive to play almost the whole game at that size.

Good size matchups for Diarra, he will be disruptive when he's in.

I would love to know how that became a thing for you.

True but Carter wasn't first team all American either.

Not the Big East player of the year though eh? :)

Perfect. Hurley doesn't have to say anything. The team can go win it all, and when the confetti is coming down, they can point at Danny and say "THAT'S the coach of the year."

that was fantastic. Only two teams get to finish the post-season with a win.

I was curious so I looked it up. Numbers can differ from site to site, but: Edey 9′ 7.50” standing reach, 7′ 10.50” wingspan Clingan 9'6" standing reach, 7'7" wingspan.

Figured that would turn into a gif. What a great reaction shot, instant classic. She even seems to look at the camera for a moment. Everyone remembers what triggered this right?

Is Oats the kind of coach where you worry about him having a week to put together a game plan?

Fanta does such a good job covering hoops.

Insert fury road "that's bait" gif here.

hope you have enough common decency to regret that one.

TLDR for this thread: "We're the best and not afraid to say it" versus "Pride goeth before an upset"

About Solo Ball: I notice that Raftery has brought up Solo a few times when he's covered our games. Compliments his shooting and thinks he'll contribute a lot in the future. I don't know if that comes from watching a practice or warm-ups or hearing it from Hurley, but I think I've heard it on...
