Well that’s the last time I’ll ever give the talking heads the benefit of the doubt.

Torvik has Purdue 8th and Maryland 10th. So he pushed both up 5 spots.

Yes, there’s a decently large drop off after our 8th man. No one on the other side of this debate has argued otherwise. What we’ve argued is: how much does that matter? — We had no 9th man last year. Made the F4. — Even our best 9th men under Brad have averaged something like 2 points per...

It looks like the Gies naming rights are permanent. Over the next 100 years, Texas Tech is positioned to get $1 billion+ for their rights. I am happy that it’s a person and not a corporation, but I also want to win as many games as possible.

https://www.on3.com/news/galaxy-stadium-texas-tech-lands-75-million-naming-rights-deal-with-ai-company/ 15 years. $75 million + NIL opportunities. $100 million for forever might be the first misstep that Josh has taken. Gotta imagine in 15 years, their next 15 year deal is another $150 million.

To give a few of the talking heads the benefit of the doubt, Vaaks did have quite a bit lower of an assist rate than Keaton last year (Keaton’s was 23.2 vs 18.1 for Vaaks). Jason Edwards had the highest assist rate on Providence at 21.9. But, let’s say Vaaks played for us last year in the...

In non-USC related news, the Sleepers guys have heard from their Illinois sources that Mirk has played this summer like the best player of the Underwood Era: 14 minute mark.

He’s been posting about USC’s roster and our need for a 9th man for 2+ months

Torvik disagrees with you:

But bro, we didn't have a 9th man last year and look what happened. We made the Final Four. Wait.

Interesting debate on the Sleepers podcast. Who’s been the best team in the B1G over the past 5-6 years and who will be the most dominate team in the B1G going forward? To start, here’s the results of each of the 4 best teams in the B1G over the last 6 years: Team Big Ten wins Conference...

Okay sure, let’s say USC’s 9th guy is better than our 9th guy. According to the player of the year betting odds: Our 1st guy is better than their 1st guy. Our 2nd guy is better than their 2nd guy. Our 3rd guy is better than their 3rd guy. Our 4th guy is better than their 4th guy. In fact, our...

Yes, I meant don’t* have a point guard! My bad ya’ll

Rob Dauster: The problem with this Illinois team is they just have a point guard. Rob Dauster 5 minutes later: Vaaks is so good he wouldn’t even be playing college basketball 5 years ago. He would’ve went straight to the league. Huh!?

If that happens, we likely won’t build the team around the current freshman. We’ll go get transfers and euros to build an upperclassman team again.
