HOW MANY APOLOGIES DO PEOPLE HERE OWE TO MULLINS

NONE!!!!! He is a 3 point sharpshooter that for 39.9 minutes didn’t make one. Kid showed great big onions. Two things can be true. Now stop saying stupid stuff so I can enjoy the celebratory posts!!!

Quick question. After Sunday's game, is the ACC considered to be predominately a football conference, a basketball conference, or a pickle ball conference?

A lacrosse conference

Just rewatched last few minutes. Couple of things I noticed which displayed how narrow this win was:
1. Mullins picked up his 4th foul with 5:50 left, and was in there on the pressure traps in the last couple of minutes swatting away at the ball.
2. Silas let the ball roll on inbounds a couple times saving about 10 seconds.

For #2: The second one, I was yelling at the TV because Alex inbounded it at an angle towards the sidelines. Silas wasn't able to let it roll as long as he would have liked before having to pick it up, and we lost out on the opportunity to preserve a few more seconds. Time was a very precious commodity for our possible comeback at that point.

A ton. A loss and Uconn goes out this year without a whisper. The shot of the century happens and everyone is talking about it, Hurley & Mullins getting interviewed by everyone. It's amazing for March Madness too. Uconn brand has doubled down after the B2B with that shot.

Why is this still a question

That 88-89, 89-90, 90-91, 91-92, 92-93, 93-94 run with Laettner/Hill was insane.

Even if Hurley makes the NC and doesn't win he only matches the last four years. K went final four, runner up, NC, NC, R32, runner up during those six years. I dislike K a lot, but that is insane and better than what Hurley has done so far.

And yet, Coach K DID NOT win three championships in 4 years. I didn't say Hurley had done more, only that Coach K had not done what they're measuring Hurley against.

yeah, but the first thought shoulnd't be "how can we scam the other team"

Any ref is going to blow it dead there to check the clock, which did happen almost immediately. If you watch the actual bench, they did a great job keeping eachother accountable and largely on the bench.

Indeed, even Hurley grabbed Nardi and spun him back towards the bench

Colin Cowherd spent about 5 minutes talking, in the first portion of today's show, about the alleged bumping. He thought it was a bunch of whining by Duke losers on social media and had no merit. He did mention that Dan is a bit odd at times while showing the picture of his jacket off his shoulders and glasses off his face. Due to that and his passion he receives some unwarranted criticisms.

I have seen some comments on FB and social media calling Dan a POS human being. I can understand why opposing fans have issues with some of his antics with the officials and opposing fans, but that definitely carries it too far IMO. He sure is a polarizing figure.

It's mostly a function of people farming for engagement by posting hot take clickbait. It's the #1 product on social media
