Great job espn...first final four since...the final four?

I think NIL is spent more on retention than recruiting. In looking over the past few years I did notice that currently our average score for the 27 class is 86.67 while the 25 class is at 86.79, so nearly identical. While that average was higher in 26, we are still getting good guys. Overall...

3 minutes is huge. Heck I tell my wife that 1 minute is a long time

I mean thats great and all, but none of that matters if we don't have our 9th man situation resolved. /S

The one trillion games I referenced would involve not only no counting stats but also no shots attempted or fouls committed which both players did in these games.

A little context on the 'one trillion' games...Snell played 9 minutes without recording a single stat, after a quick internet search, I couldn't find Ayo having played longer than 1 minute during his one trillion game.

I always thought Williams looked clutch. He doesn't seem like a choker

Debating Ben's mile time means we have officially hit the off-season doldrums.

As someone in some thread pointed out, we almost always go into each season over-rating our depth. Somehow we have wildly over-corrected that sentiment. Never change, Loyalty.

The players did decide the game. Wemby decided to throw an elbow to a guy's face. He put himself in position to get ejected and that's exactly what happened. There's plenty of other physical ways to fight back without getting yourself kicked out of the game.

It's actually much more recently than most would think. Ayo, Malcolm, and Meyers all played in the 2023 NBA, although M&M combined for 14 games played.

Thats one way to add beef up front.

What he didnt mention was being chased by the Chief in his dreams the night before

But I thought Blackwell wanted to play for a winner?

You mean that just because we have some money and roster spots, we can't just force guys to come here to be our 8th man? Insanity.
