100% devils advocate here, but “the program” and EDG well you could argue that with Goode IU has almost as many EDG as we do. I trust Brad, but it’s silly to extrapolate that IU is paying $$$ to be like us and not think, with their portal haul they might be close.

I heard it 3 times on my way to work on the Twin cities sports talk radio station. Once it hits mainstream airwaves it’s been overused.

It’s different with him than it was with Calipari though. Calipari is like the businessman/person that you know something ain’t right, but you can’t catch him in the act. Hurley on the other hand seems to be the like a small-businessman/person who is succeeding despite being a douche.

I’m actually quite sure that insiders have said that while there might be a cap; if necessary we have the ability to go into the “luxury tax” for the right person. Pretty sure it was something like “the money is there, for the right guy/s”

Is this moneyball?

It’s a good belly laugh now, but let’s not forget when we went from Brad Stevens all the way to JG. That was a tough pill to swallow.

Isn’t that the landscape in CBB coaching? If I offered you the same job you currently do, but offered say 25% more money but you had to move would you say no? I don’t get why anyone is upset when people (coaches, recruits, or players) decide there is a better offer out there. I used to get...

This was my exact line of thinking. NCAA is applying their rules to the letter of their law, but not allowing for there being extenuating circumstances. MD is being given a Covid year, but denied a Med RS year because you can’t take both in the same year, but it ignores that they gave both Covid...

That is a way of life my friend. I have long undersold my abilities, but performed well above what most people think my ceiling is in my current position. I don’t win every day, but I do win most days.

IMO that was what made Wiscy the numbers darling on KenPom every year; which he even said he couldn’t explain. Refs can’t call fouls on everything they should when there is a foul happening in every 10 seconds while a team is defending. It’s like forcing their hand on how tight they will call...

What do the asterisks mean? Trying to find meaning but I got nothin

I can’t remember if it was Daddy Brad or someone else who said something to the effect of, “you’re 6’6+” just dunk the @&$! ball!” I agree, for the most part we are soft at the rim, probably more defensively than offensively, but soft would describe it.

I wasn’t sure if the numbers had updated. Regardless, we are not in danger of those 51-49 embarrassing wins it’s the opposite which is at least fun to watch.

The good news is we know we will score a lot of points. The bad news is we know they will probably score more points than they have all year. Part of me wonders if this is a function of the pace we play at which keeps our adjusted defensive efficiency at a respectable 60th in the country. But...

Looking at the box score I see that Sencire made an appearance… thought he was taking a redshirt?
