I miss the days where we could hope to find a diamond in the rough with high school recruiting. Now that’s only seems possible with international guys. I know the game has changed but I’m forever going to be salty when a kid from Illinois pops up with blue blood offers after spending time in a...

In all fairness, the buck stops..

Get Big Z please and teach the brothers to initiate contact instead of avoiding it. Nothing is a surprise in this era. Control what you can control and get some old dudes that can ball and defend.

A full year to work with Fletch would work wonders for him. He got off knocked off balance pretty easily early on. If he was even half as strong as Domask, he would actually be effective at booty ball and possibly be a more consistent shooter. I would still love to have him back in a 15 mpg role.

Whoever brought Humrichous on board seems to have sold him as an elite shooter but at Evansville he was incredibly streaky, shooting pretty well in the first half of the season and then dropping off quite a bit in the second half probably due to better scouting. Poor evaluation and that’s coming...

Difference in the game was at the free throw line. That’s got to be hard to stomach for the ducks.

I would have felt less confident in Brad if we lost the first game but I can live with a loss to Kentucky in the second round in a year where we replaced essentially the entire roster. Fire Hamer and we’re good.

For the most part, but there’s been a couple games where the refs have set the tone early and made it quite apparent that it wasn’t going to come down to who was the most physical. I don’t normally mind it but I just wish there was consistency. One call that I wish was handled better is the jump...

Conference wins in March help the conference overall IMO.

I swear to god, if Richard Pitino makes it farther than any of the Big Ten coaches..

This is scary looking Colorado State team. I wish we played with energy like them.

Florida is tied despite uncharacteristic turnovers and pretty low energy. UConn’s gotta be feeling good but I’m sure Florida will kick it up a notch in the second half.

Nah that’s a bad flagrant call. I wonder if they’ll allow the physicality the rest of the game.

Will on the draft boards

Carr’s athleticism is incredible. Fears man, you’re sucking quite a bit.
