This is not an arrogant or coronation statement. This is a matter of fact business approach to a mission that is not finished and it's stated without faux humility. Very refreshing.

Love that Tristen is not talking about himself. I don't think there has been a player on this team who has had to make a bigger adjustment to his style of play than Tristen. Adama is a close second but Tristen is the player who gets the most touches on offensive possessions.

It's a cliche but the players on this team exemplify the meaning of team play! Egos are absolutely subverted for team success. We are blessed to have this group!

This is the way!
 
From last NCAA Tournament win in 2016 to a National Championship would be special.

Greg Waddell. He Blows.

Goodman is just a straight up horrible human being. He blasted out on Twitter the name of the Houston restaurant jordan might’ve got food poisoning it. Not to support jordan or anything, but simply because the guy is a tool and takes glee in being one. There is no way to be sure what it was with jordan, so Goodman playing a dangerous game . I hope that restaurant sues the pants off him.

Note to self… don’t order calamari in Texas.

I had the same thought when I saw the tweet. Completely baseless speculation that could take business away from a potentially uninvolved party. Hurley should stop talking to him at this point.

Oh, that article was good. It was real good.

This is among our best teams ever. Top 2.

Top 5 but not top 2. 06 and 09 were better teams. 99 and 04 were also better. You put any of those teams in this tourney and we get a similar result. But to be fair we dont see many of those type of teams in cbb anymore.

I'm going to disagree on the '06 team. They were great up front, had a lot of draft picks, and had a great regular season but they were playing their worst basketball when it mattered the most. They also had no depth at guard. This team is deep as hell and playing by far their best basketball when it matters the most. I'll take this squad. I also think this squad will have more guys who last in the NBA.

That 06 team is consistently overrated. They were barely a team. This team wins by 20. The 09 team loses without Dyson, not enough scoring. With would be a good battle. Thabeet v Sanogo/Clingon

Hard to argue that.

Healthy Dyson. Youre insane if you think this team beats that team by 20. Might be the other way around just ask louisville.

You could take any one player other than maybe sanogo or Newton off this team and it would still be capable of beating anyone in the country.

They beat Iowa St by 20 with Hawkins and Sanogo having a combined 6 pts

I do not like this article at all. It reads like what 99% of the national sporting press was saying about Duke in '99.

Not a fan of early coronations. The difference here however is that in 99 Duke was 1 and we were at worst 1a. SDSU certainly could win but they are not in the same class as our team from 99
