Wally Szczerbiak picks us as a Final Four Team

[Tdaley]

I love this!!!

 

[UCTitleTown]

There's a man Senhor T. would respect!

 

[Hoophound]

I’ve never found Wally to offer great insight. Doomed.

Szczerbiak 2024

Yeah during halftime last weekend vs Gtown, he said that if UConn plays like that they are a lock for the second weekend. He was impressed with beat down of Gtown.

I love this!!!

I need Kenny smith to do that

[gtcam]

I hope he is right
BUT I haven't had a drink or touched an illegal drug in 29 years but would love to know what Wally has been experimenting with

 

[HooperScooper]

That's cool that someone in the media would pick UConn to get to the Final Four.

I'll tell my Wally Szczerbiak story here since I love telling this. So I'm at a Red Sox game in 2006 and there's a guy sitting next to me so we start talking. He asked me what it was like when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. Said he was a Pirates fan but lived on Long Island and had to deal with all the Mets fans. He asked me if I ever went to Celtics games and I said I did even though they stink. He says, "My son is on the team," and points 2 seats to the right of him. It was Wally's father and he was with his 2 sons. What a jerk I felt like and my family was merciless on me during the ride home. I said what do I care, I'll never see them again in my life.

Fast forward 2 years later and I'm at a Celtics playoff game, the 2nd round opener against the Cavs. All of a sudden Wally's father, mother and brother come into my row and sit right next to me. Wally was on the Cavs that season (think he got traded there mid-season). Wally's father looks at me and remembers that we met at the Red Sox game. I'm thinking to myself, "You've got to be kidding me." Neither of us brought up my comment and hopefully he just forgot about it.

Someone on reddit has been simulating every bracketology prediction from Lunardi. For the most part the champion has been relatively predictable- Zags, Illinois, Baylor, sometimes a lower seed like Arkansas gets picked to win it..

Dude simmed the final bracket today- UConn. The hype is real

 

[FatHank]

Wally, I love your enthusiasm my friend. Thank you for the shout out and confidence. I hope we can prove you worthy of your musings. Maryland first, next game second.

We have quality depth enough said. Anyone know about the availability of AKok for the NCAAs??

 

[Ricker]

Szczerbiak was part of one of the best AAU teams I ever watched, Riverside Church with Elton Brand, Ron Artest, Bootsy Thorton, and Vasco Evtimov who was actually the star of that team and never made a ncaa impact at North Carolina. Evtimov rivals Ajou Deng as greatest shortfall from my expectations. A couple other St Johns players from the Artest years were also part of that team. Eric Barkley I think as well.

 

[the Q]

I hope Wally was being more honest than this guy

 

[Spaceman213J]

And Bilas said the team is the most likely 7 to lose to a 10.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Wally been watching us alot on FS1. I think if we play good D and hit our 3s, we got as good a chance to get to final 4 as any team. I don't think there is any team that can overwhelm us in this tournament.

 

[Waquoit]

And Bilas said the team is the most likely 7 to lose to a 10.

I think he went 0 for the 2014 tourney on UConn.

What about legal drugs?

Barkley

Wally also said before he picked UConn to the Final 4 that Alabama was the biggest threat to Gonzaga winning it all.

I like Wally picking UConn but wonder if he realized Bama would be our 2nd game if beat MD.

And if someone can weigh in on why his minutes have been inconsistent after that 7 point outburst against Xavier I'd appreciate it. Seems like Hurley is keeping us in the dark.

Akok is a "game time decision".

Bilas is simply wrong about UConn being the most likely 7 to lose.

Clemson & Florida seem more likely 7's to lose than UConn. I think Rutgers beats Clemson & Va Tech beats Fla.

MD can beat UConn of course but less likely than Clemson / Fla losing imo.
