I found my team, the Bonnies

[willie99]

They were fun to watch tonight. Undersized, tough, grit, effort, athletic... , and the finished the season strong.

Pulling for them to beat FL Thursday . After that I might be looking for a new team.

On a side bar, was funny to hear Prince Ali's name, think we were in the running until Caron Butler committed or something . Guess he wasn't a one and done


PS: just chill

Plus we get to cheer for "Jalen" Adams in the NCAA Tournament.

I have to go with Cal State Fullerton. For one semester in the early 80s, all of classic Social Distortion (Mike Ness, Dennis Danell, Brent Liles, and Derek O'Brien) studied there.

 

[Fishy]

Good choices.

I’m going with Texas Southern.

These guys spent two months on the road playing everyone and anyone just to pay the bills for their athletic department.

Look up their schedule - it’s insane. They played a murderers’ row and didn’t get a home game until the new year.

Toughest team in America.

Nevada. My hometown and the AD is 1993 (I think) UConn alumnae Doug Knuth. If they hadn't lost their PG, Larry Drew Jr., to a season ending knee injury they would be a Final Four contender.

According to my father, an angry UCLA fan, Alford will be available soon...

 

[Danzz]

My golf partner played for the Bonnies on the Bob Lanier team so I guess I'll have to pull for them but those uniforms make them hard to watch.

This, and the possibility to play (and beat) Cinci to get to the sweet 16. Chance to see Eric Musselman coach against a potential future conference foe. If Hurley turns into a bidding war, he could be a cheaper, yet good, option.

I like the Binnies but I’m rooting for UNC Greensboro. Would love it if they somehow met the uppity UNC and beat them.

Agreed. Can they win without him? I see them losing to Cinci

 

[WrenchFan69]

Fun tidbit, Jaylen Adams's younger brother Brendan is committed to Hurley at URI

On a related note, what's with UCLA?

Great school, great location, storied history, pro prospects and pretty good recruiting classes...

Outside of '95 and a few years of Ben Howland it's amazing that they seem incapable of being anything but mediocre.

Duke.

I enjoy clean excellence.

 

[The Funster]

I have the Bonnies beating Florida and Texas Tech to make the Sweet Sixteen.

My goodness, what has happened to you?! It is spelled D-O-O-K and if you type another sentence describing Dook as clean and good instead of ratfaced and whiny I'm personally sending Grayson Allen to trip you & Rod Sellers to pound your head into the ground once you are down.

My nutritionist has me limited to a thousand calories a day this week. And none of them can be Arby's. Im having withdrawl and halluciantions.

But I do love Bagley Jr. and the way K can run a clean program and out recruit slimy Calimari.

Grayson Allen is tragically misunderstood.

 

[CTBasketball]

I like Arizona to win it all.

I like Bonnie’s to the S16.

I like Texas Southern.

They have had some nice runs the past 5 years

It's not the calories or the Arby's
To say anything like that on that level- how much nitrous did you enjoy listening to Hartford 3/14/81????

 

[HuskyHawk]

While I'll go KU first and WSU second, I'd love to see St. Bonaventure do well. A former boss of mine used to play for them.

I liked this, but probably because I've been on 500-600 calories a day for the last 6 weeks.

Yikes man.

1000 is making me crazy.

A few sweet sixteens? They're supposed to be a blue blood. Since when is that considered a "nice run"?

This is pretty well structured so not too bad (mostly boring), but I'll take minus 40 pounds in six weeks any time. Wish I'd done it years ago.
