I was thinking they looked more like Miami's alt uniform, but if that's the case, then it really is a brilliant stroke.

Sir, this is a message board. There will be no tempering of expectations around here... Zavier Zens, future hall of famer!

So we're getting Kon Kneuppel 2.0. I'll take it! ... btw, I think he's going to be the best of our freshman class at the end of the day.

Lee was never unplayable. He was a solid defender, which is why Brad played him in the early season. He was just zoomed over by other guards and buried on the depth chart. So how much of a jump does he take next season? I think he can develop into a Boswell-like on-ball defender. But can he...

I know we're all anxious about replacing Wagler, which is kinda ludicrous considering he was a total unicorn, especially for Illinois. But what if another KJ was about to walk through the door, which is what I see in Vaaks. Watch his tape and you see the same sling-shot over-the-shoulder passes...

Insane. It's like signing a roster of 5-star HS recruits... but better. Also, like football's mom's day, imagine Brad organizing a dad's day with Peja, Glynn and Butch Lee on the court.

I recall reading how his staff basically begged him to offer Fred Vanvleet.

Until Wagler makes it official that he's going pro, I'll continue to hold out hope. And while college NIL could never get close to his lottery-pick contract, he would be the face of college b-ball if he stayed. And with a good agent, he could parlay that into much better endorsement/promotion...

From all the insider reports on here, It seems Boyd is really talented and the only thing keeping him off the field is experience. Our heir apparent at QB? Which takes a bit of the sting off of losing Lopati. Also, QBs are famously hard to project, whether college or pros.

This preseason #1 talk is predicated on retaining our floor-spacing, high-IQ decision-making, lethal-passing core of players, and adding in similar type players as our departing guards (or plugging in another great freshman) to run the same #1 offensive system in the country.

That game was more of a wrestling match, especially between our bigs and Reed. Both teams shot poorly, but uconn shot a little less poorly. It was sure fun while it lasted. This team now takes its place in the hall of legends. The sting of losing is softened by the brightness of our future.

The entire town of Hickory came up for this

The OT game against Maryland in Dec 2017. It was very obvious this was not a John Groce team by the balls-out intensity they played with. And by the stunned look on Turgeon's face at the end he must have agreed. With Brad's hiring of Chin and Antigua and Gentry, the coaching was there. We just...

Things I’m loving right now: --Love that college basketball is the only sport where making the national semi-final is a banner-raising accomplishment in its own right --Love that we just accomplished it!!! again!!! --Love our crazy, dedicated fanbase that shows up everywhere (and isn’t entitled...

They're like the cast of some wacky sports movie. A desperate coach (Dabney Coleman) goes to the Balkans and signs a bunch of players who are all slightly unhinged: two 7-footers who happen to be twins, a power forward with a tattoo of Chucky and a profile pic that looks like a Bellevue patient...
