Exactly. His whole bit about being a vehicle for getting players drafted is a narrative he developed to better sell the program to the top level recruits. Its a really good talking point that allows him to differentiate Kentucky from other schools. Its also complete Stop, as their game...

Has anyone actually read the decision? I am curious whether there was evidence showing that Self or Kansas violated NCAA rules that was not property considered? Based upon the reports, the Complex Case Unit eliminated the only Level I violation against Self (there were not 5, there was only 1)...

Yesterday was a unique circumstance, coming off an extended layoff within only a small number of games played and a game against an experienced top 10 team. Hurley clearly leaned more on the older guys. I would not read too much into the rotation- I am sure he appreciates the importance of...

Andre Jackson played good on ball defense and really snapped his passes (rarely noticeable). The rest needed work. He appeared a bit overwhelmed in both games but once he catches up to the pace of these games, I have no doubt that he will be special.

I am yet to hear to one person over the age of 38, who was old enough to appreciate the full Jordan experience from late-80's through late-90's suggest that Lebron is better. I am sure they are out there, but it seems the vast majority of people who think Lebron is comparable or better never...

Shooting Guards drafted in the 2019 NBA draft Tyler Herro (13) Romeo Langford (14) Nickeil-Alexander Walker (17) Jordan Poole (28) Kevin Porter Jr. (30) Bouknight's numbers are equal to or better than all of theirs. Yes- he needs to maintain this level over a whole season, so its slightly...

I am still pissed that the guy running the clock somehow allowed Washington to inbound the ball with 1.8 second left, take a dribble, pass the ball 40 feet and get a shot off for the win. It did not go in, but it could have, and it never should have been a possibility.

If you’re Akok you have to consider that JB is far more likely to die in the next 4 years than he is to win an ACC championship, much less a National Championship.

Not to be overshadowed, Chief finds a way to turn the first night narrative back to him. I can’t ignore this thread fast enough.

Find a tender letter template online and send a letter to the company you hired requesting that they agree to assume your defense and indemnify you against any judgment. Stay on them to respond and contact the counsel for the Plaintiff to notify them of the circumstances and request that they...

Its obvious to all non-casual fans that Chief meant Bronny James (Lebron Jr.).

Idiot. This is beyond stupid for many reasons.

Bad boy movie? You must have the unedited version.

There can be no rational discussion with you about this issue because your entire perspective is premised upon two suppositions which you have no evidence of, namely: (1) Glenn Miller is lying; and (2) his cooperation with the NCAA was encouraged by UConn as a means of ousting Ollie. I...

This is idiotic. The University is not fighting a PR battle on this issue and the opinions of the public are meaningless to a final determination of whether KO gets the $10M. All that matters is if they can substantiate the decision to the arbitrator. Also, by "got his lies into documents"...

Kevin Ollie and the union are not going to argue that the contract that he negotiated and signed with the input of his agent and lawyer, is unenforceable due to impossibility, or that he could not fulfill the terms of his contract by performing his job in compliance with NCAA rules. Contracts...

Why should he? He has several million dollars at issue. If he fights and loses, he gets nothing. Additionally, you have to consider the impact that such a battle could have upon his prospects for future hire. Alternatively, if he resolves with the University, he can take several million...

This argument is entirely inconsistent. You are essentially saying that UConn must abide by the strict terms of the contract that includes a buyout of $10M, but cannot exercise a provision enabling them to fire Ollie “for cause” for a low-level NCAA infraction. Of course Ollie is being...

Its amazing that Duke and Kentucky can pull in countless 5 star recruits every year and the NCAA never bats an eye, but if other schools start punching above their weight class on the recruiting trail, they are subject to an immediate investigation. The entire system is designed to protect the...

My biggest problem with KO is that I see no evidence that he is attempting to refine or change his offensive philosophy, despite overwhelming evidence that his system is outdated and fails to maximize his talent. This has been covered at length, but we absolutely fail to get easy baskets...

No need to swap venues, just play the winners bracket game at 9:30 and put it on ESPN2 and put the losers bracket game from the other division on ESPNU.

The plan was always to play the consolation game during prime time on Espn2 and the semi-final game at midnight on ESPN, but you can’t understand why people are second guessing the scheduling?

At 9pm, ESPN2 is playing the consolation game from the other bracket between Stanford-Ohio St. Why wouldn't Uconn-Michigan St. have displaced that game?

North Carolina-Arkansas is the early game in the top half of the bracket.

Terrible job by Nike and ESPN. Its ridiculous that Oregon-Depaul is the 6:30pm pst game and Uconn-MSU is the 9pm pst game. Are they concerned that they will lose all the home fans if Oregon plays the late game?

Gilbert obviously struggled finishing, which is to be expected after such a long layover. He missed a bunch of finishes in the paint that will go a few weeks from now. His on ball defense was great and for a guy playing his third collegiate game, he did a great job of taking care of the ball...

My recollection is that the 2011 team really struggled against the zone in January and February (expected for a team playing so many freshman), and everybody started going zone against us in conference play once the scouting report got around. Late in the BE season, the zone offense picked up...

This is brutal. Losing one of those 5 would be crippling.

Interesting because that would mean all scholarships filled with no seniors. After the injury plague this year, it certainly makes sense to fill all the scholarships, particularly if you are using them on talented/high-upside players like Sid Wilson. I only point this out because leaving no...

3 brutal Rodney possessions (2 terrible 3's and that turnover/and-one) otherwise this is a 4/5 point game.

I think that 28 years of man, including a few excellent defensive teams in the Ollie era, dispels any suggestion that UConn is a "zone school" based upon one year playing some 2/3 with 7 or 8 scholarship players, depending on the night. If Calipari made that comment about UConn, then he is...

Agree that Brimah got beat a few times on the high screen by Harper (who played great), but he also shut it down more times than not and forced some difficult shots. Alternatively, Enoch was getting beat badly. I am not clear why they weren't hedging on the screen and forcing Harper to go high...

This is whole thing is getting bizarre. I can't tell who the joke is on.

You are missing my point. Diallo will probably never play in the D League, but if he did, it would be because he gets drafted in the lottery next year out of prep school, and is sent there by his NBA team to get minutes and gain experience playing professional basketball. Under those...

Mudiay was not eligible for College or the NBA, so he played an injury plagued and largely unsuccessful season in China. As a result, his draft stock slipped and he lost out on a tremendous opportunity to build his brand through College Basketball and the NCAA Tournament. I bet Mudiay's...
