I'm not going to hate on this because he's just a squirrel trying to make a nut. I'm reminded of the scene from Moneyball: "[Skyy], you're 37. How about you and I be honest about what each of us want out of this? I want to milk the last ounce of [basketball] you got in you. And you want to...

Thanks coach. You gave us a heck of a year and its so nice to be part of a winning program! Couldn't have been prouder of the guys and we came close...but if you've shown anything...its that we are always right there and learn and grow from this experience. We will get there!

AJ D from BYU is just lazy by the voters. Did he really impact winning like Keaton did? For the majority of the season, Keaton accomplished much more than AJ did, but has tuckered out a bit towards the end, while AJ is coming on stronger now than he did early on. But still, as an integral...

Does upenn have an athletic pg? If so, we are screwed

What impressed me most was just how business like this was for the team. I never got the sense that the moment was too big, team was overwhelmed, or that they couldn't withstand the punches thrown. Be it the calls not going our way, the fact that fears was getting whatever he wanted, the only...

Worried, but thats why you have depth. Petrovich and lee will have to play more. Team will have to find its rhythm and roles again. Will be rocky im sure, but we should be able to withstand a little. Meaning win the games we are supposed to, but our chances of winning the tougher games for...

Are any of these WRs that we have signed burners? We have a guy that can throw way down field and hoping that we can get someone who is fast and can get downfield to take advantage of that arm of his.

How awesome is this?! But also, how crazy is boozer right now? He is head and shoulders above the others. Fun to see both our freshmen on this list

Do we think the misspelling of Lunney's name was purposeful and in spite?

I find it hard to assume that he is coming in to make an impact this season with the glut of talent we have sitting on the bench and that have been in the system. My guess is that he is being brought in to get acclimated to the system, the country, college and will have a full off-season to...

This quote from Calipari is the best: “Look, there are a lot of older gentlemen with beards playing basketball in college right now. There are. So you know the one that’s crazy is the kid, the guy comes in, and he’s waving to his kids up in the seats, and you’re like, wait a minute, guy got two...

I loved this breakdown. I have never played basketball in any formal way, so watching this was awesome!! This was so eye opening for me to see how the nuances of defense and positioning of the body and of the teammates are all taken into account! All I honestly saw when watching the game was...

Anyone know what the record is? Does Gabe have a chance to get it?

There has to be chatter around coach B being a candidate for one of the roles. I would not be surprised to have his name mentioned. Not saying he would go, but if I were a GM and had to find a coach who has proven to build a program, sustain it the right way, bring revenue to a school, and...

Is mihailo petrovic our version of Tyler Kolek? If so, is our system built to support a player like that given all the ball handlers? Tyler thrived in a system where he was ball dominant and was the QB of the offense. With our system, could Mihailo succeed?
