I've been thinking Saint Louis for a while now

 

[Chonky]

I thought Ben Gold was beaker??

My son and I have been calling him Linguini from “Ratatouille” for years. Kinda sad to see him go.

 

[Kolumbo]

oooph. imagine if this were your coach.

god no.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

This isn’t your father’s Atlantic 10. It stinks.

This didn't age well

 

[Inyatkin]

Just saw the Georgia score, oh my god

He's always been a bit of a gump - UNC can do better.

Let the rumors begin on their coaching search.

No, you don't necessarily only get people you follow in your feed - depends on which feed you're looking at, some of it is algorithmic.

That will be an attractive role - maybe best job in land. They just rarely go outside of the UNC family. But not as high pressure as a UK, they are patient and softer fanbase.

Not sure if they move on him, but you'd think the best young coaches out there would be open to listening. That might be anywhere from Golden to Oats - Oats and his blazers might fit the part.

Only way Hurley leaves UConn is if he retires.

And it was a way bigger arse whooping than the final score indicates. St. Louis was up 40 points with 5 or 6 minutes left and they took out their starters. They could've won that game by 45 if they wanted to.

I know nothing about Georgia this year, are they that bad or some SEC bias or what?

They have two ranked wins on the season over Bama and Arkansas. They didn't play anyone out of conference, beat Xavier by 1 point. I think it's just a case of the SEC being overrated and them having a winning record in conference. St. Louis is also a lot better than most people thought, Schertz is excellent.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I thought this too. Does UNC entice Jay Wright or Billy Donavan? Or enter Luke Murray? This would be huge for Hurleys coaching tree.

Jordan Hudson getting whispers.

Hurley ain't going anywhere. If there is any school with the possibility to grab a big fish (Donovan, Stevens, yada), it's probably UNC. They limit themselves by staying in the family. Oats feels like the best from a personality standpoint, but not sure UNC will want that mold of basketball there as seems anti their cloth.

How does he have eligibility, a covid year?

He probably has a medical waiver from the year he played 9 games and then a COVID waiver.

COVID year and then a medical redshirt for a season ending injury in 2023-24

I love seeing Breeding at this Texas game. I assume they don't change locations overnight?

how is that allowed to officiate tournament games

 

[Scottobot]

Will Davis get fired from UNC after that collapse?

Has to be. There's no way any person has enough time to post as much as he does and follow every media account imaginable. Either that or he has a team of people helping him.

They're all in his head.
