C'mon. Collins is 50 years old and been a head coach for 12 seasons. Scheyer is 37 and has been an HC for three. Collins is excellent, and I have no doubt he'd do very well as Duke's HC. As i have no doubt that Scheyer would kill it (talent-adjusted) at NW with comparable experience.
Why does this sound very familiar?
I am rooting for Houston only because I don't want an SEC team to win it all.
I watched a lot of SEC games with green jeans reffing and he was worse this year there than any time in the B$G.....believe that or not as he was horrendous when we had him..........he is certainly one of the worst refs today in all of MBB.............He really really is....
I'm rooting for Houston because I picked them to win.
Just a bragging rights thing, or is there $ involved?
And this is why I'll never pick a Pearl-coached or Sampson-coached team to win the NCAA tournament. Just can't give myself any possible motivation to support either of them.
This was definitely a Final Four where Illinois fans must choose to root against the lesser of four evils. My preference was, from worst to least worst:
Flip Houston and Florida and I'm right there with ya
I think I have much less animosity toward Sampson than I do toward Pearl, for a variety of reasons: 1) Sampson got caught and was put into basketball purgatory (albeit briefly). 2) We suffered greatly because of Pearl’s actions, and while he was punished for his actions while at Tennessee, he never paid in any physical or karmic ways for what he did to Deon, Jimmy and Lou. 3) I’m getting too old to harbor hate for anyone who’s ever wronged me — Pearl being the lone exception.
On the other hand, I was not disappointed when my pick lost.
But elite rebounding
Their bigs are not tall but wide bodies with quickness and great vertical lift. This is why we need someone other than Tomi and Z next year with similar attributes. This lineup would kill us in the paint... too quick and great rebounding/jumping ability.
Tugler has eliminate rim protection all the same.
