After a first round of more or less mediocre games, the second weekend displayed a great deal of excellent basketball, smart coaching, and tight matchups.
Just saw it. They said 10 years, maybe.
I feel the same way. Of the teams that are always in the mix, they're probably the team I hate the least. Kind of like Arizona under Lute,
That was a great 60 Minutes, Wooly Mammoth and the Connecticut alternative prison program.
It wasn't just ESPN. The CBS/TBS/TNT/TRU team that covered the tourney seemed pretty Duke obsessed also.
Duke 2015 and UK 2012 were the only two to break through and win, right?
They were the #1 overall seed with the consensus #1 pick in the draft--as well as two other lottery picks. It makes sense that they'd get a disproportionate amount of attention.
Agree but auburn seems eerily similar to our 14 run. 1st round squeaker and then taking down the top seeds like we did. Maybe the best backcourt left as well. Pearl kills me that he still has a job but this team like MSU meeting in the final would make the blowouts from last year make more sense and without a point guard perhaps he who’s name shall not be mentioned is snickering a bit.
From what I could find Pearl had a Tennessee player with substance abuse violation, recorded a recruit who admitted receiving cash from another school and had a cookout for a player and his family and told them to lie about it. The coverup was the big problem and the penalty far more severe than it would have been had he come clean. Yet he is viewed as being dirtier than Roy Williams who presided over a program where half the team might not have been eligible had it not been for sham courses and got no penalty. Peal is a great coach with a big personality who can obviously get players wherever he goes. He shouldn’t have a job?
Well I thought I remembered the whole story but obviously didn’t. So there!! He is coaching well that’s for sure.
