Let's just buckle up and enjoy the ride. If you don't want adventure, challenges, ups and downs, hits and misses, then don't come to the amusement park. I believe there is a special exit for those who change their mind about the rollercoaster at the last minute when their heart grows weak and...
So in this post portal era, how do you grade out Brad against the coaches paid more than him, i.e. John Calipari, Tom Izzo, Bill Self, Rick Barnes, Bruce Pearl, Tony Bennett and Mick Cronin?
Think how quickly things have turned upside down from a norm of mostly 3-4 year players with an occasional grad transfer, JUCO or rarely someone leaving early for the pros to a norm of mostly portal transfers and freshmen with an occasional 3-4 year player or two sprinkled in. Lots of audacity...
Wouldn't it be more important who they played against than who they played for? If you play for a crappy team all the focus of the opponent's defense is against the one good player and statistically they should be worse with no one good around them.
I may be reading too much into it, but it seems like Brad is such a big picture guy that he played Dain and DGL early, often and in the most critical parts of the game (not sure I would have had the cahunas to have Dain in at the end when free throws were critical) in order to say loud and clear...
Today Maximus cries out from his grave, “Are you not entertained?” Regardless of the outcome tonight, I for one, say we have got our money’s worth this year. Brad and company have been true gladiators!
There is justice in this world after all. Pitino, Cal, Juwan, Satan all sitting at home licking their wounds. Now if someone can beat Samscum the world will truly be a better place.
We talk a lot about in-game or half-time adjustments by coaches but make no mistake. Dain’s coming out is directly the result of an “in-season” adjustment by Brad who could have easily stuck with a formula that he knew was successful. Brad is a master of exploiting favorable matchups. Give him...
What if . . .
Ray J came and Ty did not start at PG?
Or he stole time from Marcus and Marcus did not develop with the ball in his hands?
Or if TSJ got to play every game and wore out down the stretch from exhaustion like Trent did?
Or if everyone got their wish and we played with a traditional...
Not to be picky but Oscar played at Cincinnati, not at OSU. One of the best teams in NCAA history was the 1959-1960 OSU team that was dominant for several years. "The 1959–60 Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball team is the only basketball team to win a national title in Ohio State history. They...
