March General CBB Discussion Thread

[Mr. French]

Are you trying to start a narrative that kids are sitting out conference tourneys? Do you have any examples of this happening that are not injury related? I don’t pay attention to chatgpt responses but if you have legit examples I’d love to see them.

There’s always some big take and narrative being thrown around

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Seems like the kind of injury he'd play through if the ACC tourney mattered.

What specific injury does he have?

 

[Mr. French]

Back injury - missed games earlier this season with it.

As you know, back injuries are nothing and never linger and RuffRuff was a locked in lottery pick who fought through huge injuries before, so he’s well-versed on the topic.

Of course that's what he's doing. He takes some players sitting out with injury who may be ready to go for the NCAA's as the conference tournaments don't matter anymore and the players don't care about them.

If UConn loses in the Garden he'll be here saying how awful they were and how much it matters. If Pitino wins it again he'll really hammer away at how much it matters and how he has all conference supremacy over Hurley.

If what Florida is doing now should be discredited for “feasting on a weak league”, shouldn’t the questions be why we didn’t feast on an even weaker league? Multiple weak SEC teams beat up on the 2nd place team in the Big East this year.

Just what this board needs. Another anti Big East troll.

NM, do you really think the BE is good this year?

Lots of energy on the court between PC and Butler

 

[T-Squared]

I wonder who on PC, if anyone, Danny would like to see in a Husky uniform next year. Coach is gone, there should be some player movement.

Yeah I know it's a back injury, I was curious why he would say "it doesn't seem like the kind of injury" that he couldn't play through without knowing what exactly the injury is.

He doesn’t have infinitely more coaching experience. He has 2 years more head coaching experience. That also doesn’t really contradict my point that he has a really small amount of experience to get a high major job and is a pretty big risk for a program that can’t really afford that risk right now IMO.

Apparently you aren't familiar with the mathematical definition of infinite (IE division by zero)

Cincinnati with an impressive choke job to end up in OT

Battle of the bubble in the B12 tourney, UCF outlasts Cincinnati in OT

Jalen Celestine (40% 3P shooter) missed a wide open three pretty badly that would have won it

Cincinnati was up 8 with 2:17 left in regulation. Rough way to go out

He’d still have said it even if the dude was a quadriplegic just for the sake of a hot take.

I think the term you’re looking for is “undefined”

2-0=2

2 is a finite number and that’s how much more experience in years GMac has than Autry had.
