Duke looking like 2015 Kentucky, gotta hope guard play and speed will take them down we have that but it’s a long road ahead, the journey is exciting.

What is also interesting is that the concept of winning with amazing freshman may not in fact be a dead in the portal era. With the Covid year gone, might balance things out a bit.

Good that Hurley is amping up the talent in recruiting.

SJ should watch his game. He could learn some things.

Nah that ship has long sailed. Totally different physical make ups and gifts. SJ is fine just being SJ if he can just clean up the mental errors. Hurley knows who SJ is and how to use him, Samson just needs to hold up his end of it and stop with the dumb fouls. He’s never going to have a low post game of any consequence, he just needs to be the most consistent best version of himself.

Pope is gonna be good there. I love that, I actually like Kentucky and them beinyahoo. Is great for the health of college basketball. I dislike Cal so mucbI rooted against them with fury but their fans are great minus the 1% of yahoos.

I like the Zags but I want to keep up the tradition of steam rolling

Kentucky doesn’t deserve Pope. Their fans and admin don’t deserve him. He was absolutely their best choice and they didn’t want him. I like Mark Pope a lot. Kentucky is going to be really really good for a long time now with him and they ass backed into it. I’m happy for Mark Pope, I’m pissed that Kentucky doesn’t suffer though. Them being good is good for hoops no doubt, but after dealing with those fans after Cal left and them thinking they were getting Hurley and how they handled it, I wish nothing but misery for them .
 
Agreed Duke is super talented and will be scary come March but they dont present a size mismatch. The only 3 starting Cs bigger than Reed (both taller and heavier) are Dickinson, Kalk, and Amari Williams. Karaban is stronger than Flagg. Liam is the same size as Knipple. Ball is stronger than Proctor. Foster is bigger than AM/Diarra but that’s it. Off the bench Ross/Stew/Samson are comparable to James/Gilis/Brown.

We appear to be on a collision course with them in the East regional.

I watch everything I can. I don't know our team yet, nobody does. I like what we have and we have the best staff. So I look towards teams that are loaded, the only one I've seen so far that's super loaded is Duke. They're scary but it's the freshman who are terrifying.

Gonzaga, Auburn, and Duke. Those are the best three I’ve seen so far. Marquette right behind.Kentucky too.

They wanted the best coach in the country but he isn't leaving Connecticut.

There's nothing wrong with them thinking they can get the best, it's the biggest program in the sport with the most passionate fanbase.

I don’t have a problem with that. I have a problem with the resulting manifestation of said atitude.

what the hell is going on with rutgers? i just tuned in and they are down 42 - 24 to kennesaw state??

Kennesaw? They look pretty good. I gotta remember that in March.
 
Rhody is 5-0. They crushed Charleston and Charleston isn't horrible, 150 in KenPom. I bring it up to counter the narrative that UConn hasn't played anyone yet. We smoked a Top 100 team, that's not a cupcake. Exhibition maybe but it was in front of a big crowd with real refs. Good enough for comparision purposes, imo.
 
Down goes #24 Rutgers to Kennesaw St, who has wins over Toccoa Falls (D2), Bryan (NAIA), Presbyterian (198 KP), and Abilene Christian (208 KP) with a loss to California Baptist (174 KP)

Rutgers played really well late and almost pulled off the 18 point comeback, but Ace Bailey threw away the ball with 3 seconds left. Rough
 
UMass got rolled by FSU 92-59

Rahsool Diggins with 4 points on 2-13 (0-8 from 3). Oof

UMass is crashing out hard but I’m hoping Rahsool can at least show out and get himself some professional opportunity after school
