Danny v HOF coach....this will be interesting

Boy did we get shafted....Guess those 2 losses to Xavier really mattered.

Not having a strong BE presence on the committee reaping results

Danny will be in the HOF at some point. Our talent level improves starting next year. Then we can judge him. I think this team plays better as an underdog.

You've been watching us crack under pressure and play out of control all year. What makes you think we will be able to outplay a Pitino-coached team?

Image taking 2 years off of posting just come back with terrible hot takes. Sweet life bro
 
@August_West..I know this dude is on the edge of his seat waiting for my next crazy prediction.. Floor this year is 28 wins.. Will recalibrate once games are played/matchups are determined after the Sweet Sixteen game. .Upside is dope

Have to play with mental toughness and not do the bad panic pass thing. Then focus at the free throw line. No shoot the shot and back away from the line attempts. We should get to the next round and then see what happens. Time for Dan and the team to play to their potential for 40 minutes.

Looking way ahead at Kansas a little more, they really are the second best team in the nation. They are loaded. A couple guys shoot 40% 3s, one is 6-8, and their top scorer at 20 ppg is not one of the 2 top 3 pt shooters. Good luck whoever plays them.

They got a worse draw than we did. Arkansas/Illinois winner is tough, then by chalk, UConn and UCLA. They don’t have much size, and I think Sanogo/Clingan would be tough for KJ Adams. They’d need Udeh to play quite a bit.

On the other hand, Alex is going to really have his hands full with Wilson. Fortunately Dick is an absolutely ideal player for Jackson to guard. There are some fascinating matchups if this game happens.
 
UCONN was +10,000 to win the NC at beginning of year. I think it's 1600 now.
 
Lunardi's final bracket had us a 4 seed in the West - with Houston, UCLA & Kansas St. Would take that a 1000 times over what we ended up with.

They have no good wins this year guys. They almost lost to Marist yesterday.

Im sure New Mexico St almost lost to some lousy teams also. Think we will win but not a style or coach I would have handpicked. Full court pressure can expose our ball handling, decision making, and lack of true point guard. We need Andre & Newton to show up this game, and take care of the ball. Do that and we should be fine.

Watched a little of their game vs Dayton today. They pressure, though not full throated full court press, technically.

They were being described as excellent defensively and with ball pressure but not that classic havoc style pressure they used to use.
 
I'm not thrilled with this draw, but they will be tested if they come out unscathed.

Clearly we can play with anybody in the country, just a matter of how consistent we are. No team in America is unbeatable or find it hard to see a way to beating them. It's all out there for us. Clearly some talking heads think we have the make up as well.

EXCITING TIMES!
