    Would have rather had those 2 teams. We are already playing uconn and right now they are the standard. It's good to play the top teams in a year you have serious championship aspirations, but Kentucky and Kansas will still be talented and we are the legit better team. Really want to kick them...

    Wolves seem to like iso defense too. Rarely much help rotating to the paint on drives.

    Seems like they have a lot of solid pieces but for several different styles of teams. Also for a team with a superstar that likes isos they dont set him many screens nor have many good shooters to help him get space. Doesn't help that ant doesn't seem to pass well out of a double.

    Tsj is playing well. He has taken 5 charges, multiple steals and forced turnovers, disruptive inbgeneral on d. The last few games in the playoffs on offense for him remind me of the first few games after purdue for wagler. Just forcing and rushing it a little too much. Need to slow it down about...

    Playing vertical vs gym vertical? Hand size and grip strength? Whatever it is tsj definitely maxes out his athleticism in game.

    Can no longer grow orange trees either. Orange groves could possibly be 100% gone in just a few more years.

    We are undefeated at their place. No need to ruin a good thing. Home and homes seem to be fading away anyway. Just don't send us back to MSG.

    3ish championships and a better overall win % if he stays there the next 20 years are very doable since they have the number 1 class year in and year out. Even a bad coach can win with that. Of course thats all built on what coach k did but the programs primed for success starting from the...

    Does this mean the uconns women's team will now be favored by 75 instead of 55 the first round.

    So we are pursuing Nasir Anderson. Is the thought that his shooting can be improved since it looks like he starting playing basketball seriously recently. Very high ceiling in the paint. Draws a lot of attention and dishes well. 3s and FTs need a lot of work. Isn't the type of guy we've gone...

    We aren't going to say no. However based on the guys other teams get back this would make us a worse team in comparison.
