I believe CV can effectively guard him. Stop him? No, but who can in college. CV was shaky to begin the yr. But by the end of the yr was very effective and disruptive

One stat in particular we all wish we could see more of that stood out - WE OUTREBOUNDED DUKE BY 11 IN THAT GAME. Like all of you, I miss those days when we imposed our will and toughness on even our best opponents.

That was JC's greatest skill. Never seen a MCBB coach ever do it to that level.
 
Really wish all our premier OOC games of late didn't all fall on this one upcoming season.

It really is unfortunate. The only bright side (and I'm reallyyyy stretching here) is that recruits will see us playing big time games even when our program is down. It should mean some increased exposure and playing more big games, gonna be up to KO and staff to use that to their advantage
 
I'll be there +1

I requested Thanksgiving off as soon as the Nike tournament was announced, anticipating some serious basketball in Portland, around which I'd take my girl for a week in the city. Now that we will probably sputter through this tournament, I can do a big Vegas/Southern Utah trip then and check out Portland when the weather is decent.

Outside of vegan lifestyle options, and beautiful country, I can't imagine you in Portland. Hipster Hippies for days.

One of the best years of my life was when I lived in Cambridge (my collective 3 in Boston certainly
are). I'm only 26 man I like that stuff. Lord Hobo is my favorite bar in Boston; look it up and check it
out. To put it as decently and as inoffensive as possible I did some serious damage in Davis Square out in Somerville. I'm as deep as anyone can be in the craft beer scene here in San Diego... well as deep as a patron can go hahahah

The replies in this thread are beautiful.

Using then 1999 team vs Duke, is very rich.

Almost as great as posting Coach K's first two season records.
Expand ...

those were the 1st eight seasons, and a very appropriate analogy trying to remind people coaches usually need time to find their own mojo

although it did fly over the head of a lot of fans

it actually offended some people too, kinda weird

It's a stupid premise to post the records of Hall of Fame coaches that started out slowly as their are literally thousands of coaches that started out poorly and we're fired and never amounted to anything.

Pointing out early records isn't really an indication of anything. Good, bad or indifferent.

Ha, never would have picked that. Pretty much nobody bothers me outside of uptight or snobby people, so I'll check out Lord hobo. I don't make it out to Davis much, but have been looking for a new scene.

Lord Hobo is around the corner from where I lived in Cambridge. About 3/4 mile up Windsor St from MIT. It's completely on its own as you'll see if you ever go, but not too far off is Inman Square where my second favorite Boston bar, The Druid resides. Bukowski is right there in Inman as well, along with a few solid and diverse restaurants. The other direction down Hampshire leads you to Kendall Square with Friendly Toast.

For Davis, find Saloon, Rosebud, Mike's, Five Horses (if you haven't been to the original in the South End), Boston Burger Company, and the theatre

Edit if you want to really understand my personality and tastes, check out those places hahahah

Good stuff. I'll try and check out most of those places.

Don't consider myself a lib or conservative, but still fall into the trap of painting people into a box from just a few cesspool quotes. In reality, if you want to get to know someone, one of the last things to consider would be political stuff. Jmo

I suppose someone like you knows who's going to be good or not. I'm not that smart, you see someone like me says the jury is still out, for now.

But feel free to hate away, I'm never going to deny you that right. just don't get so angry when people suggest we might actually be good next year.

And Trier is a 'roid freak. We're doomed!

I mean, my response pretty clearly states that pointing out a couple different coaches records from 40 years ago or an individual basketball game from over 20 years now is no indication that our coach or program is headed in the right direction. You keep posting it so you must think it's right.

Me? I see 2 missed tourneys in 3 seasons. Only 9 scholarships filled at the end of April.

So sorry I don't take solace in what Dean Smith started out his career at UNC half a century ago.

If records early in a coach's career aren't an indication of anything, then we can't read anything negative into Ollie's 16-17 record in 2016-17. I'm glad you're going to turn off your negativity.

I didn't compare anyone to anything.

Do try to keep up.

So, basically, you get all aggressive questioning one half of a poorly proportioned analogy and then gratuitously sour when someone adopts the same tone and questions the other half of the analogy?

Sounds like you could use a nap, a hug, a colonic, or a punch.

A different coaches record, especially without context, has no bearing on the future of a different coach.

Can you be more dense?
