Thank you sir! I watch JMU down the road when they play our vaunted VMI Keydets.
Watching your LR Trojans vs Tx St. No Mitchell. KK playing well. Corliss's kid got some decent minutes. Ugly basketball.

In other news, Derrian Ford had 7 points and 5 turnovers as AState got blown out by Wisconsin tonight.
Oklahoma State loses to Abeline Christian. The final minute was some of the worst basketball I've ever seen. They are horrible.
ACU has a big kid from LR. Good ball player.
Holy shit. JMU is gonna win this.

Hahaha...sorry Tom.
JMU is very good. Would not want to face them in the tourney.

A&M at Ohio State right now. It'd be great of the arena fell into a sinkhole.
duke-arizona is a pretty good preview of we'll be facing.
Duke looks small but Filipowski looks like a potential problem in the post.
zona's defense giving dook problems. three shot clock violations in the half.
Duke/Zona entertaining.
Duke has some big white guys doing work on the boards, that Mitchell and Lawson are going to have to put their butts into.

Memphis has come back and leads Mizzou by 7. They were down 15-29 in the first half. You hate to see it.
LOLSU loses to Nichols by 2.
Tennessee is in a fight at Wisconsin, who just so happens to be awful 3 point shooting team. Watching them is giving me flashbacks to our team last year. They have also bailed out Tennessee more than a couple of times by fouling near the end of the shot clock.

The PBP announcer said something about Mizzou missing the tall guy who could help with rim protection, and I thought has he ever watched this guy play?

Memphis has potential.
They are also a possible second game opponent at the Battle for Atlantis.
Penny has stated a desire to play Arkansas every year
Just don't let Bazzel make a trophy for it. The Battle for the Broken Bridge Trophy just sounds dumb.
Memphis isn't really on our level. We need to think about expanding our footprint.
Good grief. South Carolina women about to polish off a 40 point win over #14 Maryland. They're up to 114 points and counting.

They said on the broadcast they were missing some of their bigs. Not sure of their size but Kentucky looked pretty good even without them. Ky attempted 38 3pt'ers so if they are hot they will be tough. Granted, the return of the bigs might cut down on that number.
Dickinson for Kansas (transfer from Michigan) is a beast. 7'2" who had 27 pts, 21 rebounds.

Calamari has to do something this year, natives are restless.
Kentucky looked very quick and they really got up and down the floor. I fell asleep watching but before I did Kansas had climbed back in and I guess they won.
ky actually ran some offensive sets instead of jacking 3's and playing hero ball as they have done the last few seasons.
that did kinda fall apart at the end tho.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Apr 06, 2023, 10:18 AMMuss wants us to play fast. We just brought in a guard who is very quick. Muss preaches position less basketball. Muss expects his big to be able to defend 20ft from the basket. None of those things are strengths for Dickinson. He will force us to play a slow down half court pace.
He has good numbers in a slower paced league and he couldn't get his team to the tourney. I don't see where he is a good fit. You have to look at more than numbers.
Quote from: DrMongoose on Apr 05, 2023, 05:11 PMagree, he's too slow for the SEC.
I bet he ends up at Georgetown or Maryland.
It's laughable to think he wouldn't have been a huge upgrade over Mitchell who isn't exactly known for guarding people 20 feet from the basket either.
Still don't think he is a good fit. He's option 1 at Kansas. With our guards and their ability to score, he would not put up those numbers here.
Kansas made more entry passes to him playing with his back to the baskwt last night than we have our entire time under Muss.
Dude was a stud last night. I would much rather have him than Mitchell, Graham, or Fall if we're doling out this year's schollies. Bring him in then figure out where he fits in...he's that good of a COLLEGE big.
Kentucky looked more like a Kentucky last night while missing a couple bigs.
Filipowski or whatever will give us fits in a couple weeks. At least we got all of our bigs to hack the shit out of him and that other dude. I hope our guards can outduel theirs to the finish line.
All that said, we will know a lot about how right or how wrong or how many questions we still have about our squad 2 weeks from tonight.
Looks like another year to tune into Iowa women's basketball when you can.

Purdue has trailed the whole game but they just took the lead 46-43 with 12:38 left.
Apart from Edey, Purdue looks small next to Gonzaga.
It's about time for the commentators to give up and stop talking about Gonzaga's explosive offense going on a run. Purdue is looking better and better as this game gets further into the second half.
Purdue's Rick B is a gay
St. Joseph's lost to Texas A&M-Commerce last game and took Kentucky to overtime tonight. Sadly they ran out of steam. KU almost got Arkansas'd.

They're a football school now.
They also woke up. They're up by 20 now.
I just saw a highlight of a Purdue player hitting a 3/4 court shot at the end of the first half, and Jay Bilas's call was "That's like US Reed from back in the day." Hey someone besides a Hog fan remembers that.
I didn't really believe the hype when the collie cuddlers were ranked ahead of us in all the preseason conference polls, but they definitely look the part. Good defense and efficient ball movement. If we can't find a way to improve our fg accuracy, they'll run us out of the gym.
They returned just about everyone from a team that finished 2nd in the SEC. They're good.

Enfield may be the most overrated coach of all time. He's constantly got talent and has done little to nothing with it.

not all time - you forget about Pelphrey and Heath.
Enfield caught lightning in a bottle with Dunk City by drawing a vastly overrated Georgetown program that would soon evolve into the abyss but still has he underachieved like Cal in lexington?
The last five years you could definitely argue Cal.
Well played

That they did. I saw Ole Klan was catching 11.5 and thought no way a Beard team loses like that so that's where I laid it.

That seems to be Muss's biggest takeaway from this team is that they don't compete. Makes no sense. This is a group of talented guys that have no desire to play basketball.

That's the point. I'll give you Purdue was Final Four effort and the assist ratio was great.
Same for Creighton last year even though we lost that one.
But why can't we replicate that more than once in a while?
Devo, Brazile, Mahki, and Graham are such head cases you don't know what you're getting minute to minute. They are more worried about their hair and nails than playing fucking basketball.

Watching UConn on offense is making me dizzy. It's constant movement. Is this legal? Watching them shows just how much we stand around.
Damn, TCU's women's team forfeited 2 games because injuries caused them to not have enough players. They are having open tryouts.

Well we were out shot like by 30 last night. That screams that we're holding the ball and not sharing the sugar. Also I think it means that our shooters that we brought in mainly piss down their legs.

Don't their cheerleaders do the horns up? When the team sings the alma mater, they do they horns up. So it's OK for them to do that, but no one from the other team can do the horns down? How about this...either everyone can do both or no one can.
They're about to get an education in "classless".

Dude scores a bunch against Duke at "Cameron Indoor Stadium" as Pitt beats the Blue Devils and then does this. Much respect to him.
Memphis (Quinerly) just did one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a college basketball player do. And I have watched this year's Hogs!
Under a minute left, he was doing that thing (completely unnecessary) where he let the ball roll on the floor, on an inbounds pass, so the clock won't start.
Except a Tulane defender was in the backcourt with him. Quinerly even SAW him yet let the ball keep rolling. So the guy jumped in and took the ball. A true WTF play, that didn't cost Quinerly because he tied up the defender and Memphis had the possession arrow. Still, shockingly stupid.
Then Tulane wins the game in the end.

Florida about to win in Rupp Arena.
Yaw missing out on a good one between Missouri and Vandy, someone has to win.
The pace of this Kentucky-Tennessee game is something that is not familiar to me.
I doubt anybody is watching this, but a really strange sequence in the second half with Baylor hosting Iowa State. Baylor was up by double digits, when Scott Drew got his 2nd technical of the game and was ejected. Then the bench got a technical a few seconds later. And Iowa State is on a big run, 20-2, and has taken the lead. Kind of odd for all that to happen for Baylor with a double digit lead.

Some strange shit for sure. I saw a player shoot the ball for a 3 pointer, and instead of running back down the court, once he landed he started moving towards the direction of the basket he had just shot at.
It must be some kind of common core basketball that I'm just not familiar with watching. I shouldn't be watching this while high because it's freakin me out.
Winning in Rupp is very happy for me. I hate them as much as I hate Updyke University.

Yeah. At Baylor, someone would've taken one to the temple by now.
Something I have seen a few times in recent weeks, that I have not seen before.
With 8:24 to go in the first half Kansas-Kansas St, they went for a review. They went ahead and took the under eight time out at that point.
That's the third time in the last couple of weeks I've seen that. It's good to see a slight amount of common sense regarding a review. I don't think I previously have seen people at the game have the authority to throw it to time out before you hit the 16, 12, 8, or 4 minute mark.

Watching South Carolina and Ole Miss right now. Good game.
When is the last time anyone saw a guy take a real charge? I'm not talking a push off on a drive. I'm talking about a stand there and let a guy run over you charge.
Clemson went into tonight 1-60 at Chapel Hill in basketball. That's worse than even our worst football droughts.
They're now 2-60. It's good to see.

Strangest ending to a game I have seen this year. Xavier 56, Nova 53, 18 seconds left, Nova with the ball.
Inbounds the ball and they pass it around the perimeter. Until the clock runs out. No one ever attempts a shot. Even at the buzzer. Even AFTER the buzzer. They just stop passing and the game is over.

Bilas wants them all thrown in jail.
I watched the video and then the interview with both Filiposki and Scheyer. "Pussies" was the first word that came to mind.
There are tens of thousands of college basketball players. Because one player got runt over, we now can't have fans storm the court after a big win.

If you watched the opening tip of Alabama vs Tennessee just now.
The tip went to the sideline where a Bama guy jumped and got it and threw it back in, in one motion, where it went to Tennessee. Who won the tip?
The PBP announcer said "Tennessee controls the tip."
The possession arrow says Tennessee, so the officials say Alabama controlled the tip.

Didn't see it, but you'd think they would have had to get "possession" to control tip. Sounds like scorers got it right and alt possession goes to TN.

If Alabama never controlled it enough for "possession," the next tie should go to Bama. Yet it's Tennessee. So I'm not sure the scorers got it right.

Did Walker actually get in trouble for this or just pay his way out of it?
Wasn't Carl Johnson the BOT member who helped get the ball rolling on the Petrino hire and made Jeff Long actually return the call to his agent?

Why in the world is A&M-Ole Miss on national TV CBS?
Houston is going in raw on Kansas. They're cruising with a ~20 point lead since the first half.
They might be legit.
Vandy won today against Florida. So they have a little momentum for them going into the tournament. But I'm glad they are our first round opponent, I would think we'd want to get the taste of that last Fayetteville game out of our mouths.

Prediction:
After the in-season holiday tournaments and huge payouts the good players who have earned a healthy payday will go into knee management like never before. If the NCAAT doesn't figure a way to monetize for the players it's going to a lead to a shit show similar to football bowl games.

I have no issue with players being paid, as long as there is a system in place to make it as fair as possible between competing schools. But it pisses me off when I see people make this claim as if a college education has no value.
The common retort is that "[insert functionally illiterate player name here] has no desire for and draws no benefit from a college degree." That may be true, but that doesn't mean that degree has no value. Keith Olbermann has no use for a Lamborghini since he never bothered to learn to drive, but if someone gives him one the car still holds value. If Keith is too stupid or lazy to learn to drive it, that's his own fault rather than that of the entity who bought it for him. If I hand a homeless guy ten $100 bills and he burns them all as rolling papers it's his fault. The same is true for the college athlete who fails to use the at least six figure value of the education given to him in exchange for his efforts in athletics for 4-5 years.

I don't know the real stats, and I don't care, but I spot two glaring inconsistencies in the below. Editing, man, it's a dying dead art.
Louisville finished 8-24 (3-17 ACC) in a season that was expected to be the start of a climb back after a 4-28 campaign. The loss total was a program record. Louisville's January win at Miami was its lone ACC victory in two seasons under the homegrown Payne.
BTW the same article doesn't mention our coach: Possible candidates include Baylor's Scott Drew, who guided the Bears to the national championship in 2021, Florida Atlantic's Dusty May and Indiana State's Josh Schertz.

Vanover getting run pretty much the whole game tonight. Does some nice things, but he plays about two feet shorter than his actual height on offense. Mizzou leading.
DePaul is up 2 on Villanova with 17.3 left.
wow - Nova hits a 3 with 8.8 left and DePaul gaks the final posession never getting a shot off.
You just get the sense that Missouri knows how to lose a game, and is going to close out this game that way.

Does anybody know if this is the last year for the Flanagan kid at Ole Miss? I am so tired of seeing a Flanagan on there every frickin year, and generally being reminded they are from Arkansas. Or at least the older ones were.
I should add, between the Flanagans and Keith Carter, they beat our ass way too many times.
NC State had a five-point lead on Duke with 30 seconds left, and was going up for an uncontested dunk. The guy missed the dunk and hung on the rim to get the rebound, technical foul. Duke hit the free throw, NC State missed two, Duke made a bucket, now it's a two point game with 15 seconds left. Lot of Arkansas going on there.

Just turned it on. It's an obliteration. What in the world is going on? Maybe just Mississippi St. fighting for its NCAA life and Tennessee sitting it out until the real tournament.
Oops here they come. Maybe too late though.
State has a good team but we weren't even competitive.
Barnes coaches good during season but he sells Fools Gold in March and I as a dumb ass fan bought it.
We are going to DESERVEDLY get eviscerated for this one.
Barnes should make them listen to it all. Maybe it would shrink those "point at my ring finger after the SC game" heads.
We will be a quick out. I don't believe Barnes can coach hungry back into this team.
Barnes has done a great job of milking that time he got to the Final Four. Remember that time he finished 3rd in the Big 12 and made it to the second round of the NCAAT with Kevin Durant?
South Carolina can't hit the broad side of a barn today.
Of course, they're not getting open layups and dunks and a record amount of points in the paint, either.
As much as I hate to say it, Auburn is pretty good this year. They have benefited from an over hyped SEC, but I believe most of the games they won were by double digits in conference play.
I still hope they get knocked out in the first weekend. Their fans and players seem to really have a hard on for us for some reason. They've acted like bitches ever since we beat their #1 best team in history.

Conference tournaments need to be revisited. For teams that are a lock, the coaches de-emphasize the tournament and focus on being rested for the NCAA. I know ESPN drives a lot of it, but they're likely to get a matchup between Texas A&M and Auburn. Not dragging a lot of eyes to TV's.

I know it's been said before but my understanding is these NIL deals cannot be contingent on performance. How and when the money is distributed I have no idea if it's in installments or all it once up front. I tend to think for most it's upfront and perhaps not entirely legally binding. In other words some of these dudes might not be getting what they were promised and may explain why some tend to portal in and out every year.
The only answer to these in-season and post season tournaments is going to be a POT OF GOLD and how legal that is and whatnot is not entirely clear currently. But it's coming. What will be interesting is if the NIT and some of these holiday tournaments end up having huge payouts to the winner while the NCAAT sits back on it's laurels and withers away over the next several years.

Meechie Johnson was South Carolina's leading scorer this season.
Meechie Johnson had already transferred from Ohio St. to SC.
By all accounts, SC was a feel-good story this year. Picked last, had a good season.
Meechie Johnson is in the transfer portal.
In my personal opinion, the transfer portal is the debbil.

No, it's new random matchups each season. Teams that played at home, play on the road the following season. ESPN will set the matchups.
Now they could choose to match up Arkansas at Duke, but it won't be because Duke played in Fayetteville last season.

If not, he would make one helluva UPS driver.
The issue with that kid is he has never been bodied up by a guy that has real strength.
Once he gets to college and plays against the biggest and strongest and faster big men then I bet he turns into an okay but nothing special player. Speed will probably be his biggest down fall.
But hey, maybe he will be the first white Shaq.
That kid is an average Woopigger's dick length less than 8 feet. Ain't nobody 7'9 ever been mobile and healthy enough to play basketball at all at any level. He is already something we've never seen.

Shit show
The offseason has been rife with other turnover at Memphis in addition to what was announced Wednesday. The Commercial-Appeal reported that five other staff members have departed since the end of the 2023–24 season, and the team has just one returning scholarship player.
Penny is an icon in Memphis but I don't see how he doesn't lose his job over the situation he's put them in. It is a complete shitshow and last year was a disappointment not even making the NCAAT. He hasn't made it past the 1st weekend of the NCAAT any year he has been at UM. If they hadn't lost to FAU in the 1st round in 2023 they could have made a deeper run with the #1 seed (Purdue) losing in the 1st round.

There has to be salary regulation. There has to be collective bargaining. There has to be transfer limitations.
And he's not the man for any of it. He was equipped for "the old model," so he's out.
Watched a little of the Kansas scrimmage last night. They talked a good bit about the exhibition next week.
Amnouncers asked Self about a guard they have to beought in and he responded with " Nolan had a guy in the 90's named Dillard who was a small guard that would come in and give instant offense. He reminds me a lot of him". Thought that was a neat obscure reference from Self.

I won't call myself a fan and don't really care how he does at USC or any future stops, but I'm appreciative of what he did in restoring the prestige and success of the program. One bad year doesn't undo the three previous really good ones.
Fans from his previous stops say he's got a 3-4 year shelf life and I'd say that was accurate here.
Not to mention, we all thought his next stop is either NBA or west coast, also accurate.
He's the kind of guy that gets burned out quickly and needs fresh starts often, so I guess. He was checked out last season and did the right thing to move on, that which many here are calling Pittman to do.
I'm appreciative of him for restoring the razorback program to national relevance once again. There is no Cal without Muss.

"At first, it starts off slow, like, 'Oh, wow. That's odd. This guy is showing us attention,'" the first woman said. "And then it becomes, 'Wow, he's kind of crossing a line. No, he didn't mean it that way.' Then it's, 'Wait, he's fully stepping over that line.' And then it's, 'Wow, there's a picture of his d*ck.'

Watched BYU last night. There was a kid that Cal was rumored to be after named Egor Demin from Russia. He ended up signing with the Cougar's. He is a legit 6'9" PG. Most have pegged Cooper Flagg as the #1 pick in next year's draft but I would not be surprised if it isn't Demin. He is that good.
Good first half for the Vols. Louisville has about as many transfers as we do.
Auburn scrapped its way to a hard-fought win in Houston. They scored a second half TKO by reversing a five-point deficit into a 74-69 win.
This is a big step toward being battle-tested for later in the season.

This may be Pearl's best team. Broome is quite a player.
My biggest question was how good their guards are. They are much better than I thought. They don't have a lottery pick like they had with Smith in '22 but this is Pearl's best overall team.

His teams the last few years are horrendous shooting the ball. We told ourselves the defensive focus was the reason but last season we couldn't shoot or defend
He never figured out who to play last year. We also had really bad PG play which is tough to overcome.
Saint Mary's could have forfeited their points for the first half and still won the game by 3 points.

I don't get the love for Jaxson Robinson. He has been on NBA draft boards for a year. I find him very underwhelming. I'm no NBA scout but don't see why you'd waste a pick on a guy who's already played 5 years in college with his resume. Maybe he did some amazing things at BYU that I missed.
You haven't missed anything. He's the same player he was when he was here. Can shoot it if he's open. Can't create his shot and can't defend a light pole.

In this BYU system he's gonna get a lot of looks but I agree he's probably not an NBA player or at least not somebody that will log a lot of minutes. Moody is way way way better and can barely sniff playing time some nights. Some of that is dipshit Steve Kerr.

His mechanics look the same. He can knock down shots if he's open. He seems to have a significant drop off when the talent gets better.
he was good at byu but against sec talent it's going to be more of the same.
kentucky hyped the shit out of getting him so he's going to get way more attention than he deserves.

This may be the best night of college basketball all season.
Alabama's strategy so far seems to be to get out to a big lead against UNC. It's a bold, daring, genius maybe. Lets see how it plays out though.
It has been pretty frenetic and somewhat sloppy but a fun game to watch so far. The kind of game I think our guards could do well in.
Looking forward to Auburn/Duke later.
I'm gonna go play at Chapel Hill next summer.

By the way I share Jay Bilas's repeated and obvious disgust for replays, especially out of bounds replays, at the end of games. There Has To Be A Better Way. (His suggestion was one coach's challenge instead of automatic reviews).
I'm sure I am being Master Of The Obvious, but of course so is he.
I'm fine with the replays. Refs can't see the ball roll off a guys hands. If you're down by 1 and a correct call gives you the ball, I'm for whatever is required to get the call right.
Jay didn't say shit two minutes earlier when the call went for Michigan. Went it was our turn to benefit, he didn't give a shit about getting the call correct. Only that it was rediculous to make the review.

Well that's the opposite of what Jay & I want -- fewer replays, not more, and especially cutting out all the "going to the monitors" under the last 2 minutes. One coach's challenge under the last 2 minutes is the proposal.
Had the out of bounds call went Michigans way, we most likely lose on an incorrect call. Not sure how anyone can be okay with that.

Why would that not have been our challenge?
There needs to be a timer on reviews (1:00 at most) and if a game has a 10+ pt margin within the last minute, reviews only on flagrant fouls. If the officials can't determine in 1 minute then the call stands.

We have the means to prevent incorrect calls. I'm with you...we should use any reasonable means to get it right.
While we are on the topic, automated strike zones in baseball should have happened years ago.

The SEC is stupid strong this year. 8-10 in league play may get you dancing. Hell, maybe even 7-11
Saw a tweet last night where the SEC is 50-4 so far in December.
Also, 30-4 against the ACC on the year.
I know this number will go down, but Joe Lunardi's Bracketology currently has 13 SEC teams in the field, with two others (LSU and Vanderbilt) as part of the next 8 teams out. Only South Carolina is not listed as they have the "worst" record of SEC teams at 8-3, but just beat a ranked Clemson team last night.
SEC is currently 152-20 from top to bottom and is 18-8 against the AP Top 25.

A little trivia:
The game in the Omni that night prior to the ND/BYU game when this happened was the Vols vs Ralph Sampson and Virginia. My brother and I were there and stayed to watch the second game. We had seats like po boys do up in the nosebleed section .
Towards the end of the second game we moved downstairs about 20 rows from the court and saw Ainge make that drive to win it. We loved it cause we couldn't stand Tripucka and those teeth.
Bama gonna survive @ North Dakota. UND has a kid that looks like Blake Eddins go for 37.
Make that 40

Appears we have helped a coach leave the profession.
Miami men's basketball head coach Jim Larranaga has stepped down from his position. Larranaga leaves Miami after guiding the school to a shocking Final Four appearance just two years ago.
Assistant Bill Courtney, the former Cornell head coach, will become Miami's interim coach. The Hurricanes are struggling to begin the 2024-25 season with a 4-8 record and have lost 18 of their last 22 games dating back to last year. Miami attempted to overhaul the roster going into this season after losing 10 straight to close last season, bringing in 10 new faces, but that clearly hasn't solved their issues.
A trend...

Tenn pushed our shit in and Florida is making them look like prison bitches so yeah hopefully we are a better home team.
I think it's also just a year that winning on the road in this league is going to be ridiculously hard. I think we're going to see more than one team get blown out away from their gym.

I hope Cal's got a plan. Cause the conference is a crucible this year.
Hogs win Saturday, beating the team that hammerfucked the team that hammerfucked us last weekend. Fans storm the court. It's just what our teams do, what our fans do.
Always the hunter, never the hunted.
But I was told Tennessee was just REALLY GOOD, that their suffocating defense and size advantage is why we got skulldrug and dominated on rebounding.
Nothing at all to do with a team not showing up.
The game is changing.
Home court used to be a five point advantage. I'd say in the SEC now it is more like ten or fifteen. I know people are going to say that the SEC doesn't have exclusive basketball officials and these guys ref other games and all that, but the officiating is different. The home team seems to get all the foul calls. Throw in things like being comfortable shooting on your own rims with a big free throw disparity caused by officiating it differently and these five or six point wins turn into fifteen point blowouts for the home team.
And it's really noticeable now with the quality of the league. In Nolan's day, maybe we only won by ten or twelve on the road, squeaked one out, or lost a close one. Now, a good team that doesn't need much help puts a drubbing on you.
Florida goes to Kentucky gets beat then beats the shit out of the number one team at home. Arkansas will have some home wins that make you think we're back and then drop the next one on the road. Blame the officiating more than anything.
I certainly hope the Hogs have a better game plan Saturday than we did. Ours obviously didn't work very well. We played decent defense but our offense was atrocious. Not tough at all with the ball.

This the problem with NIL (pay for play) not being able to be tied for performance.

I think we (Boggie Flands) do piss away about 15 points a game on missed free throws
fland shoots 84% from the line.
thiero 68%, aidoo 59%, and brazile 53% are the ones that costs us points.
I'm watching the Ole Miss/State game.
State shoots a free throw and misses. But, a state player touches the ball above the rim and then Ole Miss touches it. The refs miss the first touch, call ole Miss for the goal tend, and award State 2 points.
At the next tv timeout they review and determine State actually committed the goal tend before Ole Miss and therefore shouldn't have been awarded points.
The color commentary guys couldn't figure out why they took 2 points off the board instead of 1 point. They kept talking about how it should have been 1 point and they don't get it.
My point is the world is full of retards. Sports seems to have a very high concentration too.

College sports is all about the head coach, all sports. With players rotating in and out and assistants constantly seeking the next job hop the head coaches can be the only constant lasting more than a few years. Then again, they don't usually last that long either. Pittman is probably in the upper half in conference tenure.

That game was painful. We took 45 3 pointers, many unguarded. Couldn't make enough. 14/15 of our last shots in the game were from 3.
If we are hitting 3's we are pretty good. Just pack it in down low and let us keep firing is the blueprint for success vs us. We don't have anyone who can drive and score except ZZ. Lanier is disappointing once he hit conference play.

Once you "have to" shoot 3s (which was the whole second half that I watched), and you're not making them, the hole just gets deeper and deeper, unless the other team completely tanks and stops scoring.

College isn't as bad as the NBA but I'm to the point where I would like to see them abolish the three point line. The game is just about unwatchable now.
If not remove it, move it back to 30 feet or so and no three pointers below the free throw line extended. Make real centers popular again and make the three pointer a bonus...part of the game, instead of having the entire game revolve around three pointers.
Just add a 4-point line and a 5-point line further out. Make the game completely absurd.
The Hogs would shoot about the same percentage from half court as they do now from 3 point land and it would be worth 5 points. :D

But seriously, this is where it all started falling apart. The "value" of a three pointer is supposedly so much higher.
Several of those were contested shots Tennessee tried at the end. They could've driven to the basket to get a few freebies or get to the line when they were down by more than one possession to extend the game. But they refused to even try.
Wow.
We held them to 40 below their average per game. Without Zeigler and Milocic.
Fantastic defense effort from the team today.
Mizzou absolutely obliterating Miss St at Stankville in a Top 20 matchup. Mizzou has beaten several ranked teams this year, including Kansas when it was #1.
Mizzou didn't win a single conference game last year.
All of that to say, there's always hope next year, boys. Having your two major transfers (Davis, Aidoo) being complete zeros, kinda has an effect on a team.

Cal was quoted today as second guessing the whole "let's just have 8-9 real players" thing. It's like he overestimated his ability to evaluate (talent and desire) and prevent key injuries.

It's enough to make a man sick.
We shot 17 percent from 3 and hit only 3.
They hit 12-24 3's for 50 percent.
27 point difference won't cut it.
Lanier was a no show again.

Auburn on the other hand is 10-26
For those who didn't see it, I assume that would be everyone, Eric Musselman's USC squad was ahead of Minnesota all day long at home. I caught the last minute and Minnesota went from down to a steal with 20 seconds left, to up, to USC blowing a couple of offensive possessions, to Minnesota winning the game.
To which the announcers said, "a real blow to USC's postseason chances."
This has been your Eric Musselman update.
8 pushed him out of bounds then flopped. That should be on Bama.

This is the most Arkansas ending to LSU-Oklahoma I can imagine.
20 seconds left OU up 5.
They foul LSU's best player, Carter, on a 3 point shot. 4 point play.
OU inbounds and in the backcourt throws it to LSU.
Carter drives to the bucket and gets fouled with 8 seconds left while making the bucket. 3 point play. So he has scored 7 points in 12 seconds and the score went from 79-74 to 79-81. All under 20 seconds in the game.
OU still has final possession.
OU loses. Remarkable.
That actually helps us to the extent we are in competition with OU at the end of the year for the last SEC slot in the tourney.

In this case, it was pretty easy. While I despise Texas with every fiber of my being, I knew that on a scale of 10, the Texas fans level of disappointment for losing a basketball game, would be around a 7 or 8, but Kentucky fans would be a nuclear 15.

Sounds better than RFK Jr. I'm not as irritated by Dickie V's voice.
Agreed. I also agree with SOS on his over the top style. At some point though, you have to hang it up. He's a legendary announcer but damn dude, give your vocal cords a rest.
Well. What do you think about the point he just made? He was specifically talking about Arkansas and Calipari.
He said no one should be in the tournament if you're not .500 in conference. Actually, I agree with him. But that's not the way it's going to be this year.
In normal circumstances/years I agree but the SEC being as deep as it is I say it is an outlier. It's historically crazy good.

The pass out to Z with the handoff back to the inbounder doesn't bother me too much. We've ran a few other sets that did work but that seems to be our standard out of bounds call.
What makes me want to kick a small animal is giving up a quick layup on an out of bounds play. It's usually because the guy defending the inbounds pass doesn't cut off the inside passing lane. For some reason we want to stop the pass outside even though that's what we want to happen. That infuriates me to no end.

And granted I'm biased toward my soon-to-be-alum son.
My take on Muss is the guy has always had a bit of arrogance or hubris to him and his whole thing seems to have went down hill once all of college basketball began doing what he was doing a good few years ahead taking wholesale transfers. He found a niche and once that niche went away he failed to adapt. That isn't to say he won't ever be good again but odds are good he's now on the backside of his career.
Muss has classic look-at-me little man syndrome. And when things don't go his way, he is the whiniest petulant bitch in the room. I appreciate the 3 NCAA runs and getting the program back to where we were able to get a guy like Cal, but I am glad he is gone.

Quote from: Doc Hogaday on Mar 09, 2025, 07:18 PMSame. I really like their coach. Wouldn't be surprised if he's called up to bigger leagues here soon.
Yep. Coached under Nate Oats for a while. Uses the same philosophy as Bama.
PSA...
Ark State vs Troy on the Deuce.
Forgot all about Darius Ford. Face looks the same but he has put on a little weight.
D Ford playing well
Also, I would've never guessed Pat Bradley would becone a college basketball broadcaster when he played here. He's one of the better color guys in college basketball.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Mar 10, 2025, 07:41 PMD Ford playing well
Yep. Still built like a running back too.
Pinion still goes and stands in the corner a lot on offense.
Pinion carried them last game. Still inconsistent.
And with Pat Bradley on the call, a lot of ex-Hogs in the building.
State looking like ass right now.
Troy taking over.
Went cold at the wrong time
Well, that was interesting for a bit. Ford had a good 2nd half, Joey Haircut regressed back to being Joey Haircut.
I started watching and Troy went on a 13-2 run so I stopped watching. I didn't want to put them negative waves on the Red Woofs.
State just fell apart. Pinion is what he is, and that is not a guy you want in a big game. Maybe next year.

i mentioned it before, but him and some of these other guys should have started their careers at a place like state. i'm sure it's hard to turn down the instate p4 program, but sitting on the bench averaging 5 minutes for two seasons didn't do a thing for him except waste his eligibility.
go make your bones at a smaller school and if you can play, you'll get your shot at the next level and the nil that comes with it.

I really thought Pinion was going to be good at Arkansas. But he just isn't quick enough to play defense, and sometimes, even quick enough to get off his shot in rhythm.
Darrian Ford is much the same. A good player at the ASU level. His little brother may be better than he is.

Great steal and alley oop dunk from Battle. Game is over.

I don't see how Jaylin Williams could play defense in today's game. At least what he did then would never work now.
An offensive player can do absolutely anything to get to the basket except extend the arms and push off, or spray mace in your face. Everything else is fair game no matter how good a position the defender is in or how long he has been standing there.
90+ % of offensive fouls have been eliminated from the game. I'm not sure why the PTB wanted this.

Good. Then we won't have any chance of somehow being matched against them.
I am a semi-St. John's fan now. Never have been before. I kind of enjoyed their Walter Berry and Chris Mullin teams until they beat us. I was at that game in Salt Lake City.
But the viral Pitino halftime video kind of made me a fan, and now Big East champs. Or about to be. I'll have them as a secondary team in the tourney after the Hogs.

South Carolina would beat both these teams.
I thought the NIT required a .500 record or better. I guess like everything else, it's a brave new world.
Also, it sucks being the ONLY team beaten by both LSU (3 conference wins) and South Carolina (2 conference wins).
LSU men's basketball will decline its 2025 NIT invitation, according to LouisianaSports.net.
A Tigers spokesperson cites the team's injuries as the reason for the team's decline.
The SEC receives two automatic NIT bids annually, awarded to the top two teams who failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. LSU, like South Carolina, opted to decline the invitation this March.
LSU will finish the season 14-18 overall, 3-15 in conference play and second to last in the SEC.
A-State got a NIT invite so that pretty well tells you where that tournament is having to go.
That's not to shit on A-State but when teams aren't trying to build for the future there is literally no reason to continue playing in what amounts to a meaningless post-season tournament that I'm going to guess puts no additional money in any players pocket. If they had a 1 million dollar pot of money to the winner then that tournament would get a lot more interesting.
Yes, when looking at the NIT schedule, SLU-Arkansas St. was literally the only game of mild interest. Due to my tenuous geography from each school.
Apparently some school was invited, NIT thought they accepted then found out that they were considering the CBI. So the NIT invited South Alabama. Then the original team took the NIT invite backing out of the CBI once they found out what a shit show that was. Then South Alabama was told to get fucked.

Well, I'll go find a screen door.
At any rate it's going to come down to NIL situation and overall commitment to the program and there's probably no reason to leave Ole Miss unless it's a real upgrade. I know nothing about Houston's NIL situation, Sampson is a helluva coach and when he leaves that program could take a dive but I could see some quasi attraction to Houston in the future for someone like Beard. Seats at Houston and Tennessee are bound to open in the next couple years as both of those coaches are getting pretty old.
A place I'd think would be able to compete for (pay) players is Ohio State like they do in football. But they haven't really pissed a drop in a while now. Ohio State hasn't been relevant in basketball since Matta's prime years in the 2010's. Had no idea who their coach is but apparently it's some young guy cut from the Bryce Drew cloth. And right now that's not exactly moving the needle.
College basketball is just not very big in Ohio outside of probably Cincinnati or Dayton. This is a football state and a pro sports state. I never hear anyone mention college basketball unless they're filling out a bracket, and even most of the diehard OSU fans I know couldn't tell you the basketball coaches name or how the season went. Browns, Buckeye football, then the Cavs when they're doing good like this year.

Word is buzz is trying to get out of aTm, tried to get Xavier and now is hoping that he is hoping to be the guy if Maryland opens.
Is he a nomad like Muss or what? Given all the angst Willard has said about Maryland regard for hoops, it is a total crap shoot to take a job not knowing who the AD will be especially when you are not his guy. Then again if he tried to get Xavier than Aggie can't be all that.
Of course if he does leave you know Aggie is gonna go hard for Beard.
It is interesting that Muss' name has not come up at all this off season. Guess 2 straight shit seasons will do that.
That Villanova job is going to pull somebody out of a decent job so a feller like Buzz could potentially slide on into a decent "basketball school" if that's what he's looking for. Right now it's looking like he's doing just enough to not get fired but I'm gonna guess maybe A&M isn't leaping to give him a new contract.
One article I was just reading has Porter Moser looking for an exit as well. I don't know that OU will shed any tears. Chris Collins is a rumored candidate for Nova so if Northwestern opens I could totally see them going for Moser in that Chicago era he did really well.
Rumor is Nova doesn't provide much NIL. I've seen Buzz mentioned for Maryland but they have the same problem. aTm thinks they are better than they are.
Seems A&M is a stepping stone program. First Schlossnagle leaves the baseball program for the Shorthorns. Now Buzz "apparenty" ditches the basketabll program for Maryland. At least that is the rumor.

I'd say both coaches made or will make the right decision there. Idk on Buzz. He just seems to jump around every 5-6 years. A little strange since he is a Texas guy and atm grad that he'd leave for Maryland but I view Marquette and Maryland as better than atm basketball but can't blame him for wanting to leave va tech to go "home."

I'm guessing the reason he's wanting to leave is A&M's football program is sucking up all the NIL money. Apparently, the same thing is happening to Nate Oats and the basketball program at Alabama.

The "College Basketball Crown" starts tonight. 16 teams and I gotta admit most of them are bigger names than the directional schools that now make up the NIT. But not necessarily better teams, because losers such as USC and Colorado (and I assume many others) are there.
Here's an idea, if this piece of crap is a good idea and it doesn't start until now, why couldn't they invite teams that were in the NCAA Tournament but lost? Especially bigger names that went out earlier than expected.
There appear to be no rules in the NCAA anymore so what the hell.
I think a lot of those teams in it have had opt-outs, transfer portalling, injuries, etc. If anything, it's one more chance for players on your shitty team to show out for better programs. If I was a coach I wouldn't accept a bid for that reason.
Layden Blocker will be playing in it tomorrow. He's already announced he's returning to DePaul.
Blocker played really well this year. Seems like a good kid.

Well. he couldn't get out of Maryland fast enough.
This may have been bullshit but someone on the internet (tots credibility) said that the Alabama coach is butt hurt that his boys aren't getting the NIL promised and he was looking to lift his skirt elsewhere.
I think this is the Maryland folk trying to make it sound like they had a real hot job. I doubt Oats is leaving for that when he could have had multiple other jobs by now that are highly more better gigs.
I thought I posted this earlier but I can't find it so we're just going to pretend that never happened.
If he wanted to leave, he should have gone to Kentucky last year. Not sure they wanted to pay his buyout though.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Apr 01, 2025, 04:11 PMConflicting ideas here. Did Willard lie or tell the trooths?

It is rare for players who have played 4,5,6 years in college to go in the first round, or at least top 20, these days. NBA drafts on potential, and most of those spots go to freshmen and foreigners.
The NBA has drafted on perceived potential for at least since the early 90s. I guess if you want to get more deliberate about it you can probably go back to the KG/Kobe draft which I believe was 1995 or 96...that's really when the worm turned.
The NBA also went thru it's infatuation with foreign born players for a while, which pushed a lot of college guys out of the 1st round and a good many out of the 2nd as well. There were a good many duds in those years coming from the European areas.
I think the league has gotten a lot more analytical in how it grades players and understanding what they think they are going to get out of them. A guy like Jaylin Williams didn't measure out as some kind of high pick but I think the Thunder saw him as more than just a development guy. I'm not sure he spent a ton of time in the G...he seemed to be more of a reserve player. Great teammate hard to want to put off that roster. And now he's getting some minutes from what I've seen.

Exactly. I can't pull for Florida but I will absolutely pull for Fland. Even on the bench recovering from his surgery he was still engaged and a supportive teammate. He even came back to try to help us advance in the tournament. I have no ill will against him at all.

I agree, Pearl was doing fine with it. I didn't realize he was 65 y/o - would've guessed late 50's. I can't imagine any Auburn fan is happy with his decision (basketball wise). My point was we'll probably see some really good coaches walk away from their sport. I'm surprised Rick Barnes is still coaching.

He said it explicitly.
saban didn't like the idea that kids today don't worship at his throne. that and everyone else had at least the opportunity to play by the same rules.
barnes and cal are two great examples of older guys that have nil resources and school support and know how to manage some egos.

The NCAA has ruled former G League Ignite player Thierry Darlan eligible to play Division I basketball at Santa Clara, his agent, Todd Ramasar, told ESPN. Darlan becomes the first player to obtain NCAA eligibility after playing professionally in the G League, where he spent the last two seasons. He will enter college as a junior with two years of eligibility remaining.
the ncaa wasn't going to try to fight it. it looks his argument might have been he received only "actual and necessary expenses", i.e. had nothing left over after rent, etc. there is precedent for it according to this article.

Purdue had 3 bigs who could get them a bucket in the paint every time things got crucial. Alabama is very good but they're too reliant on the three. That was the difference. Well, that and Bama doesn't have a point guard as good as Braden Smith. That kid's incredible. I think he finished with 27 points.
"In love with the 3" seems like it's just Nate Oats' thing. Talking basketball, of course. His wife's a solid 5.
they shot 36% from 3, not horrible. getting outrebounded 52-28 is what lost them the game.

He's been on fire lately. He just never was able hit two in a row when he was here. Never got hot.
Pinion (and Ford for that matter) are players that needed to mature into the players they are today. Mussleman and even Cals system does not accommodate growth. They are looking for immediate impact players that are one and done.

The big schools have farmed out the player development function to the mid-majors and other have nots.
For a program like ours to end up with a junior or senior contributor it has to be someone like Wagner who was highly touted but hasn't lived up to expectations, and who also has the character and/or loyalty to either coach or program to stick around rather than taking someone else's offer.
It's as much on the player's as it is the cosch. Possibly more. Most of these kids don't want to stay and develop. They want to transfer somewhere they think they have a better shot at playing.
I think Cal is trying hsve more development type players. See Sealy and Semedo for example. I think he sees the benefit returning players provide.
if you're a player in the 60-70th range, you're not contributing at a p4 level for a while, if at all. the players have to be realistic about it too.
instead of sitting on the bench and getting afterthought coaching for a couple of years only to transfer out, go to a decent mid major program. there's a lot of good coaches at those schools where you can get your game developed and if you got it, the major schools will notice you.
100% what I would do. You probably risk/lose a little bit of NIL by going mid major, but if you play well there you will make up for it when you transfer up.

That's a pretty tall ask...expecting teenagers (many of which have grifter adults with their hands out influencing them) to choose future potential over instant gratification. But you're absolutely right.
This is why I am worried about our ceiling even if our guys start playing together and everything gels. We simply STILL don't have "the mens" Larry Johnson advised us to get so many years ago.
Arizona beat UConn 71-67 last night. Here are some excerpts from the summary article, relevant to paint play. I don't see us matching up well in the tournament against either of these teams.
UConn announced that starting senior center Tarris Reed Jr. was out with a sprained ankle. Reed is one of the nation's best big men who is averaging 20.0 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.
Without Reed, UConn struggled to slow down Arizona, with the Wildcats putting forth one of the most dominant paint displays against the Huskies under Dan Hurley en route to a 71-67 road win.
"With Reed out of the game, we're not going to say it doesn't change things. We know it changes things," Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said. "But if you get a good hop, field it and turn two. And our guys found a way to do that."
It was clear what Arizona intended to do against a Reed-less UConn frontcourt. Koa Peat had an early layup. Motiejus Krivas was getting consistent paint touches and set a career high with 10 rebounds before the first half even ended. Jaden Bradley was constantly attacking the rim and drawing fouls.
"That's how we're built," Lloyd said. "If you're not up for the physical fight, it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough to be a team that wins consistently at a high level. It's going to be tough to win on the road. It's going to be tough to win in the NCAA tournament. It's going to be tough to make a deep run. We want to build our team with guys that are capable of playing physical basketball."
The Huskies won back-to-back national championships partially on the strength of their frontcourt dominance, overwhelming teams in the paint at both ends of the floor.

Quote from: Pig Benis on Nov 20, 2025, 09:55 AMI watched that game. Both teams had much bigger bigs than we do. AZ would fucking destroy us in the paint.
It would take a 3 point shooting night a couple of levels above standard deviation. Can't count on those more than once in the six games of the tournament.
Also watched some of Bama-Illinois last night. Bama won and is going to be tough as always. For Illinois, the brother we didn't have grew a beard to tell them apart. The brother we did have, Z, started and went 16 minutes and 3 points (1/4 from 3) in the loss. Sounds about right.
In the part I watched, Andrej Stojakovic of Illinois was awesome. Kid is going to be a STAR and rich rich. Son of longtime NBA great Peja Stojakovic. Stojakovic the younger has his own handle and can finish in the paint against big guys.
I asked if we had any "bigs" at the beginning of the year. I have watched some teams with bigs, that would kill us inside. We need some wide bodies. Bama beat somebody last night and will probably beat us.

Purdue has a weird (looking) fanbase
I happened to catch the end of Clemson Georgia just now. Clemson hits two free throws to go up by 3 with 4.5 seconds left, Georgia has no time outs. All during the free throws, the GA coach is yelling various instructions about what to do after the make. They end up with a three quarter court shot that went over the backboard. How's that the best shot you can get off in 4.5 seconds? Tyus Edney went the entire length of the court in 2.5 seconds.
Should've made one more pass to the guy just past mid court for the shot. Entertaining game nonetheless.

Yet they played Houston right to the buzzer. They have some good athletes but not much inside, certainly not even a fraction of the presence of Broom.
Seems like they gotta find some chemistry. They had THREE assists on 22 made shots last night. That's very hard to do.
I like Pettiford and that's about it. Hall is a good player but plays very selfish. They don't have much inside and their bigs cant hit 3s.

They are almost what we are, yet with probably four times the NIL expenditure and 100 times the hype. And as others mention, every time we either lose to a great team or fail to beat a bad one by more than fifty points they show up online to shit talk us for taking their sloppy seconds.
Looking at some of the records of the Top 25 verses ours and our opponents, it was hard to see why we were ranked 25th.
If you ever go to the SEC Men's basketball tournament, you will understand the hatred for Kentucky and its fans.
I know Kentucky is one of those teams that always gets ranked higher based on name and tradition. But anyone who watches even a little college basketball and understands the system Mark Pope has always run should have seen this shitshow coming. He's basically Temu Nate Oats...fast pace and relying on lots of made three pointers. They don't have any shooters on this team, and their bigs are mediocre at best. The latter might resolve itself once Jayden Quaintance comes back, but there's no guarantee that a guy coming off an ACL tear in 9 months is going to be able to contribute a whole lot.
That said they'll probably hit 75% of their threes in Bud Walton and kick our asses. But unless the name gets them a hell of a boost they're likely a bubble team at best.

Sorta. They got absolutely blown out by Michigan State, and trailed bigly against Louisville for most of the game. They also lost at home to UNC that got beat just as badly by Michigan State on a neutral floor.
I know this is just going back to moral victories, but our 2 losses are by 3 at Michigan State, and by 9 to a Duke team we were beating the majority of the 2nd half. While are records are close to the same, we haven't just layed down against good competition (ignore the Winthrop game).

Arkansas is 6-2 with losses to Duke in Chicago and @ Michigan State and a win at home against Louisville @ home.
We could easily be 5-3 and they could easily be 6-2.

It's glorious. Go to any KY sports Facebook page and read the comments. Even, better, go back to before the season and read them.
Carlos Boozer with only 2 points at halftime? Are they not letting him push around Tom Izzo's players? Or did he finally meet someone who can put up resistance? I missed most of the first half so can't answer my own questions.
These might be the best 2 teams in the nation.
He has 2 fouls. I don't think he picked up his second foul against us until really late in the 2nd half.
ISU handling Purdue at their place.
If MSU and Duke are both top 5 teams, I feel good about our team.
Cameron Boozer (I called him Carlos) picks up his fourth foul. Tim Brando advises us that this is the first time this year he has gotten more than three fouls.
With the way he plays, that's amazing. With the name on his uniform, I guess it's not.

It's like the best players on every top team are freshmen.
Wasn't this supposed to be the best freshman class in 10 years? I know 2026 is supposed to be the opposite. Hardly any lottery one and done types other than Stokes.
Stokes may be better than anyone in this class but you're right, it's not as deep. He seems to be a bit of a head case though.
This claas is ridiculously deep. As great as Acuff is, he may not be a lottery pick. You have teams like VT, Washington, and Stanford with freshmen that are round 1 talent. It's a generational year.

He was expected to be this good. There's a bunch of them. Caleb Wilson is an animal for UNC. He was very highly ranked and we wanted him but he was supposedly raw offensively. Doesn't look like it now. I'm glad he didn't end up at Kentucky.
As good as Acuff is and has completely lived up to the hype, I'm pleasantly surprised by Thomas. I knew he was good but he's way better than I expected this early.
Is Ament doing shit for TN? I only watched them once and he didn't stand out much.

I've listened to some podcasts about the 2026 class and it sounds like most of them will be in school at least 2 years. I'm hoping we can pull Jordan Smith Jr. but Dook seems to be the favorite. Everyone says he's a winner and an absolute bulldog defensively but will probably be in school for 4 years like Wagner due to his size. That's a good NIL investment.
I like Smith but he's not a great shooter. Gotta put shooters around him. Duke seems to be the leader but Cal was at his game last week.
I think our two commits with be multi year players as well.
It's going to be interesting to see who returns next year.

Thanks for the input. I knew his shooting was suspect and he's only 6'2" so he's not playing SG in the league. Sounds like a leader though and someone who would be a great college player for a few years. This is blasphemy but he seems like a Corey Beck type.
I would love to see him and JJ playing defense together. You're absolutely right that we would need a couple of snipers around them though.
Beck is a good comp.
Can someone explain to me the Vandy hype? They have played a decent schedule but have yet to play a ranked team. Lunardi has them as a 3 seed and the AQ from the SEC after Bama's blowout loss to Arizona. I'm biased but I'm not sure anyone in the conference looks better than us right now, and we're more battle tested than Vandy but maybe not as much as Auburn or Alabama.
They haven't played anyone but have win handily. Think they're averaging close to 100 pts per game. I believe they play a couple decent teams on the road this week.
Louisville looks like ass tonight.
Why would anyone play at OU? That arena and crowd are embarrassing.
Tenn's defense has looked really good tonight. It helps Louisville can't hit the broad side of a barn (6/28 21% from 3pt).

Definitely didn't help them. They shot Memphis State to death on Saturday so we had to guard the 3 point line . We finally pressed our offense the second half and got some baskets before they go their defense set up. They did a good job first half forcing us into jump shots we didn't like. Only scored 11 points last 10 minutes of first half.
Jalen Carey has been a great pick up. He carried us inside tonight. Glad to get off the 3 game slide.
This Vandy-Memphis game is UGLY. 27% and 30% FG% for each respective team.
Yeah, Memphis is really bad. They peaked the first half of their exhibition game against us.

Thanks for sharing. Sucks for Muss. USC basketball is a ways down the food chain in LA it looks like.
Look out. With five minutes left, Wisconsin and Villanova just crossed the 100 point mark. Combined.
Just don't go to OT on CBS. You'd think a 2:00 start time was enough gap, but they didn't start until about 2:20. So I guess we will start closer to 5?

It was. The refs made the wrong call on the aTm FT that put them in that predicament.
The horn sounds like it went off after the ball left his hands. I saw a video that showed 0.1 on the clock when the ball left his hands. The call on the court was good basket.
In spite of all that, the call was reversed. Seems like Auburn got screwed.
I'm ok with that.
stills of the shot show it was still touching his fingers when the official clock (the one above the basket) hit zero. that's why it was overturned.

Correct. The clock in the corner of the arena showed 0.1. The official clock above the basket showed 0.0. Auburn might want to sync their clocks.

Vanderbilt putting Alabama away. They might be fo reals.
60 fouls called in that game and still a little over a minute left.
Per a graphic, Cincinnati beating #11 Iowa State tonight was their first W against Top 25 since 2011. 59 straight.
That seems impossible. Even the worst major-level basketball schools pick off a Top 25 once or twice a year. And I don't think of Cincinnati as a bad basketball school. I guess it's been awhile since they were good.
63 fouls, 88 free throws in the bama-vandy game. not sure i've ever seen stats like that.

On one hand, I'm surprised at the list of teams because who bets on those teams? On the other hand, players on teams at that level would probably be the easiest players to reach because those teams probably have very little NIL money so the players aren't making anything.

Another familiar face tied to the scandal is former LSU guard Antonio Blakeney. He averaged 16.8 points in four meetings against Mike Anderson's Arkansas from 2015-17, though the Tigers managed just one win. Blakeney allegedly fixed games involving the CBA's Jiangsu Dragons in 2023.

At least they are staying in California for their weekend game at Cal, instead of flying back home and turning around and flying back out there. ACC has at least tried their best not to have teams make two separate trips out there in a season.

They are still ass offensively, but Pope has figured out a way to get them to some wins. This year's team seems better on the defensive end than last year's version.
I do think part of their recent success is due to the level of competition. LSU is terrible, and I think Tennessee was vastly overrated to start the year...which also makes our win at home over them seem less impressive.

LSU is terrible
Texas is terrible.
They beat two of the worst teams in the SEC.
They got their doors blown off by Bama
They lost at home to Mizzou.
The only real quality win is at Tennessee, and I'm not so sure if they are really that good.
They get Ole Miss at Rupp this weekend, that is a must-win, then have to go to Vandy and to Arkansas. They are not going to have a good week next week.
They have two games with Vandy, and Florida, and single games with Tennessee, Auburn and Georgia.

Lol it turns out the judge that granted the temporary restraining order is a 6-figure Alabama donor.
What is to stop Florida for requesting an injunction in their state court with a similar donor judge, asking to ban any former US professional athletes from competing in college athletics within the state? It wouldn't be hard to argue for adverse effect, as a loss to a team with a professional could hurt Florida's seed in the tournament and possibly keep them from advancing as far as they otherwise would.

He has 14 and 4 and they're down 16. Apparently they only play well against us.
The fighting Musses took a 1 point lead with 8 seconds left. Fouled with 4 left. Iowa hits FTs, and wins by 1. You know that fucker was pissed.
Just noticed a weird anomaly, would like to know the technical explanation. I mean obviously, the crawl is "more live" but why the mismatch in a live broadcast?
I am on the ESPN app with Georgia - Tennessee. TN is shooting free throws up 81-76 and the graphic on the screen says 81-76. The crawl says TN is winning 82-78. About 45 seconds of real time pass as Tennessee hits a free throw and Georgia comes down and hits a basket and voila ....82-78.
I have just never noticed the crawl on the bottom being a spoiler alert for a game that's on.
Georgia brain fart. Down 3 with a few seconds left. Even take a TO. Their main man breaks loose and hits a layup ...with 0.6 seconds left.
So they're going to lose by 1.

Gonzaga gonna have to find a local judge to sign a TRO so Timme can transfer back in.
Is there anything that could stop the NCAA selection committee from simply viewing every game an ineligible player plays in as a forfeited loss? If Alabama wants to get a local booster judge to give a TRO to let a pro player play fine- just view every game he plays in as a loss. If Alabama ends up "3-15" in conference and misses all post season tournaments, it would probably make it not worth it for them or any other school. Same thing for the college football playoff committee if a Mississippi judge gives Chambliss a TRO. Could the schools successfully sue the NCAA for keeping them out? This seems like a much easier solution than fighting in a courtroom in the shadows of that college's campus.

Quote from: DirkPiggler on Feb 06, 2026, 06:57 AMI think the TRO forbade the NCAA for punishing Alabama for any games Bediako played prior to final resolution of the case.
So the NCAA has to give Alabama a spot in the tourney? How is that enforceable? If they don't like how they're seeded is that also considered "punishment"? I don't think the NCAA has to declare all their Bediako games as losses. They simply don't invite them to the tournament.

I'm not sure how that would work. If Alabama had a decent resume and wasn't allowed into the tournament I think they would probably sue and have a decent chance of winning. If they're on the bubble which seems unlikely, it might work.

You could see some Alabama connected judge order the whole tournament postponed until the issue is resolved.
This is a silly discussion though. We all know that the NCAA isn't going to do a damn thing that might give them liability.
The NCAA may sack up on this particular issue. Why? I think one reason they have been so accommodating to state courts and the like in the past is their fear that the conferences would break away and form their own thing from the NCAA. On this particular issue the conferences AND the NCAA seem pretty well aligned. Eligibility for former professionals who declared for drafts is opposed by all concerned except for the guys trying to go back for one more pay day. So, I think the NCAA may well ignore this court if it loses and/or remove it to federal court and continue the fight there.
Interesting thread from a reporter at the Bediako hearing.

Oklahoma was up 19 with 3 minutes to play, and are currently up 3 with 28 seconds to play.
They are truly Razorback football worthy.
Oklahoma tried everything they could think of to give that game away in the last minute. Missing free throws, throwing balls away, allowing shots. They just had too big a lead to get it done. They win by 1. I'm sure they'll do better next time.
Duke is the only team, besides Texas,that makes me root for North Carolina.

Well can Bama keep playing him then? The previous ruling said he could play. Does this one say he can't, or just that he doesn't win that he can? Those are two different questions.
I believe he's ineligible now. The question becomes does the NCAA make Bama forfeit those wins? You know Auburn will demand it since they're one of them. It will be interesting come tournament/seeding time.
he's not eligible to play going forward.
what's to keep coaches from doing this in future? got a rivalry or really big game coming up? just go to the g-league and grab a player until it makes it's way thru the court.

how do you hire a guy for say, four years, but have it in the contract that he could be fired if he had a losing record after season two? you will never get any coach to agree to that.

because the agent will say we're not signing it and the AD backs down. At some point an AD needs to have the stones to call their bluff. But if they don't land the coach everyone is hollering for then the AD gets shown the door - it's the neverending cycle.

They had that game circled as soon as Cal beat them last year. Not necessarily making any excuses, but it didn't surprise me at all that we lost that game. Pope's seat is already warm and it would be on fire had he lost 2 in a row to Cal and Arkansas.
Just about every team has some head scratching games this year, except maybe Duke and Michigan.
I think we finished 13-5 in conference play. I don't think we have the inside game to compete with Florida, especially at their place, and I think Alabama will hit 15+ 3s against us with as bad as our perimeter defense is. I can see is losing by double digits there and at Florida.

They're at 35 attempts to LSU's 22 while, once again, shooting less total FGs and 10 more 3s. They might be my most hated team for the remainder of the season.

Ultimately I do agree though, win out and it takes care of itself. If we do that and still don't end up a 4 seed then I'm gonna burn the whole thing down.

The Hogs are absolutely no lower than a 4 imho assuming things go as they should. :thumb_up:
I like this analytics site. It has us favored to win every remaining game except for FL, which it has about 11 points better on their court. You can plug in wins and losses for future games and it will give you our projected seed based on the outcomes. It has us as a 5 if we lose to FL and win the other 3 as it expects, but we jump to a 3 if we win all 4 remaining games. You can also plug in SEC Tournament wins/losses but I didn't bother yet.

That's exactly why they'll always be good under Oats but will never win a title.
For them to beat good teams they have to hit a sizable percentage of their threes or have home court officiating like they did against us. It's hard to accomplish the former six times in a row against good to great teams. The latter usually goes away as an issue come tournament time (although I suspect it won't for whoever we end up playing).

Yikes. Missouri by 30 over Mistake at halftime. I think they have let go of the rope, Bama led by 30 in the first half last game as well.
How are we feeling about the UK Vandy game? A Vandy loss would help us since they're ahead of us in the KenPom. But that would mean we'd have to hope UK....I just can't type the rest of that out.
Vandy goes down. That'll help the Pomeroy ratings.
Now we're looking for Kansas and Texas Tech to lose as well. Nebraska losing would be nice too.
Alright: got my free Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and I'm here ready to tip!

Wow. Bama's tough, man. Huge comeback win.
I like Vandy and Tennessee both taking Ls today. I want to be sure of a Top 4 seed and a double bye to Friday.
Couldn't defend that point guard. Ament being out didn't help.
Muss having some problems. On the bubble for sure, and now his 18.5 ppg scorer,.transfer from Auburn, has bolted. An AI summary.
Why did Chad Baker-Mazara quit the game?
Chad Baker-Mazara's departure from the USC men's basketball team seems to be the result of an accumulation of issues rather than a single incident. Here's what we know so far:
- Injury Issues: Baker-Mazara left the game against Nebraska due to an injury after falling hard on the baseline. He informed coach Eric Musselman that he "couldn't go" after the injury.
- Team Bench Sitting: After returning to the sidelines, Baker-Mazara sat near injured teammate Rodney Rice and fans, rather than with the main team bench, citing a shortage of chairs as the reason, according to Coach Musselman.
- No Clear Reason: The exact reason for his departure from the team is still unclear, with USC spokesperson Kristen Keller stating that "We have nothing additional to add at this time."
- Accumulation of Issues: A source told the Los Angeles Times that Baker-Mazara's dismissal wasn't due to any one incident, but rather an accumulation of issues. This suggests that there might be more to the story than just the injury.
- End of Collegiate Career: With Baker-Mazara using up his temporary waiver eligibility, his college basketball career likely concluded with his departure from USC.
that guy gave pearl problems too. total headcase, muss should have stayed away.
Just got the word that Ament won't play vs SC because of his knee.
What's going on with the SEC schedule this week? All of the games are crammed into tonight, with the first one starting at 5:30 and the last one not even starting until 9:00. Our game with Texas is the only one on Wednesday.
I believe it's because the women's tournament starts tomorrow and SECN televises it instead. So we get the lone Wednesday game and then have to travel for an 11am tip on Saturday.
On the one hand, I'd rather not have Mizzou lose before we play them on Saturday.
On the other hand, I believe if they and Kentucky lose tonight, and we beat Texas tomorrow, we are guaranteed a top 4 finish and playing our first tourney game on Friday. Regardless of what happens in Columbia.

I believe after losses by Missouri and Kentucky tonight, all Arkansas has to do is win one of its last two games to be guaranteed the 3 seed in the SEC Tournament. If they can win both of their remaining games and Auburn can beat Alabama Saturday, they would be the 2 seed.
In other news, I saw where John Pelphrey was fired today after his SEVENTH straight losing season. If not for Chad Morris, he'd have to be the worst coach in the history of Arkansas athletics.

Yes,they were also in our conference. They had different in bound lines because the out of bounds was virtually non existent. Fouche Valley was the same way. I think Wintrop was as well but can't remember that one for sure.
My mom played back in the 40's when it was 3 on 3. She was quite the player and had a college scholarship offer to play basketball. She married my dad instead...
I've got her old yearbook and newspaper clippings from where they would score like 12-14 points in a game and she would have like 10 of them. There is a wood stove going in the background of one of the photos of her shooting a layup.
I appreciate Whyte Boar using the term "cracker box" in that I hadn't heard it in many years. Summertown had a cracker box and all the seats were upstairs, like a gladiator pit. Had a line painted on the side to make the inbounds guard stand behind it because there was about 18 inches of space between the side line and a wall.
Don't go more than one big step beyond the end line after your layup: wall and doors. I got loose and shot a layup there my senior year and got fouled hard. I hit the floor and missed the hanging pad. Slid into the door frame and hit my lower back. Had quite the bruise on my hip. I heard my momma cuss and threaten to whoop the shit out of the guy that took me down.
I miss momma.

The old gym at Helena was somewhat like that-- very closed in and with the crowd seated up high and overlooking the court. Was a pretty scary place in the early years after integration.
Lamar had a cracker box gym in the early 80's. The floor was so small you couldn't actually step out of bounds to take the ball out. They had another set of lines on the court for that. Spectators actually had to walk on the court to get to their seats.
Big pads were on the concrete walls right behind the basket. Don't come driving in too fast or you might get driven into that wall.
I think our cafeteria was bigger that their entire gym.
We pressed the Lamar Warriors into oblivion on their tiny court.

Winthrop had the incredible leaning gym. I swear everything was off plumb and it had a visible lean. They were also terrible. I mean so terrible it was like playing a sixth grade B team. It was no fun. It would always turn into a fouling, hacking, traveling shit show and after you got up twenty or so, the refs would either quit caring or get overwhelmed by the sheer shittiness of it all and swallow the whistles. It was awful.

Quote from: Spiderham on Mar 11, 2026, 09:54 PMI am certain back in the early 80's North Pulaski and Pulaski East (Jr High at Mills) had carpet. It was WTF?
We played in a wooden gym with a wooden floor at Oak Grove. It was like playing in the inside of a giant speaker. Loud as hell.
I played against and at North Pulaski in 1986 and they had a weird rubber court at that time. I have video of it on VHS but I'm not sure OQ has a feature for me to click to upload from VHS.
I also played at some Junior High in downtown LR (Fuller maybe or Henderson??? IDK?). But this court had chunks missing out of it. You could dribble the ball hit the hole in the court and the ball would shoot out of bounds. Most of the court was good but there were actually chunks missing around midcourt. I can't believe they actually let us play on that court.
Quote from: llhog on Mar 12, 2026, 09:46 AMYes,they were also in our conference. They had different in bound lines because the out of bounds was virtually non existent. Fouche Valley was the same way. I think Wintrop was as well but can't remember that one for sure.
The Wilmar gym was built so bad, it had literally six inches on the in bound lines. Half of your foot was inbounds throwing it in. There was no diving out of bounds to save a ball.
Quote from: Spiderham on Mar 12, 2026, 10:13 AMLamar had a cracker box gym in the early 80's. The floor was so small you couldn't actually step out of bounds to take the ball out. They had another set of lines on the court for that. Spectators actually had to walk on the court to get to their seats.
Big pads were on the concrete walls right behind the basket. Don't come driving in too fast or you might get driven into that wall.
I think our cafeteria was bigger that their entire gym.
We pressed the Lamar Warriors into oblivion on their tiny court.
Dover's court when I played was built by the WPA. We had that same three foot boundary between OB and the inbound defender. Good times.
Iowa St. is, in general, rampaging right now. Destroyed Arizona St. yesterday and destroying Texas Tech currently.

Maybe that will knock Tech down to a five and slide us up a notch.
Come on Mizzou!
Quote from: The Whyte Boar on Mar 12, 2026, 10:32 AMWinthrop had the incredible leaning gym. I swear everything was off plumb and it had a visible lean. They were also terrible. I mean so terrible it was like playing a sixth grade B team. It was no fun. It would always turn into a fouling, hacking, traveling shit show and after you got up twenty or so, the refs would either quit caring or get overwhelmed by the sheer shittiness of it all and swallow the whistles. It was awful.
They were really bad. We were pretty mediocre my junior year and had them down at half 32-3. Needless to say us starters didn't see the court in the 2nd half.

We can only hope. They looked pretty bad in the 2nd half.
Shirley that Tech beat down slides us up to a 4 seed. A win tomorrow over OU/A&M will put us at 24 wins vs their 22. At this point a 4 seed is ours to lose, and a win Saturday would cement it.

You would think especially with the head to head win but common sense isn't so common.
Kind of a quirk, 3 of the teams that beat us all losing in the same time slot in their conference tournaments:
Georgia
Duke
Houston
Doesn't mean they all will lose, Houston probably won't.
iowa state taking it to arizona early. i now fully expect arizona to go on a run before most of you read this.
god bless the youtube tv split screen. 4 games at once and the baseball game on the laptop.
arizona at the buzzer to win it, seconds after iowa state tied it up. what a finish.

UCLA fixing to beat Mich. St.
Now this is different. At a bar in Nashville (the local) and they have 2 TVs over the bar both showing Houston-Arizona on ESPN.
They are about 2 minutes apart. One showed 18:36 in the second half when the other was just starting the half.
Why would two side by side TVs be on different systems (internet, cable, whatever) that would explain the lag? Kinda odd.
just keep drinking, it will all make sense.

I think you're right I notice some kind of ripple in the air in the 12 feet between the TVs and I'm only on my 2nd beer.
It's a glitch in the matrix. If you see Agent Smith, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!
Poor Dan Hurley is in trouble. Hate to see it.

He needs to be watching for black cats. He sees two of them then it means they changed something.

We need Michigan to beat Purdue right?
Quote from: Zoso on Mar 15, 2026, 04:15 PMWe need Michigan to beat Purdue right?
At this point it's not going to make a difference one way or the other. And a Michigan loss is always good.
Yeah, I don't think it really affects us.
I will say this: I would rather be in the regions where Duke or Arizona are the 1 seeds than in the regions where Florida or Michigan are.

We're going to be with Fl and Houston

I don't think they'll put a 4 seed in the same bracket w/ a 1 seed from the same conference if they can help it. It's not right. The 4 seed that is not us, Bama, or Vandy will probably end up w/ Florida.
Auburn accepted a bid to the NIT, but Oklahoma declined one. There are very, very few majors playing in this now. I think I counted 4 out of 32.

it's a felony, 'possession not for personal use'. will be interesting to see how he tries to spin it.
probably a one game suspension.
It WAS for personal use. I mean, "persons" were using it. It's not like he was giving it to his dog. That's awful! He's not an animal! We're putting this behind us and ready to play ball.
Hell they let Miller play years ago with his law run in. This ain't nothin to Nate...

The good news is that he can probably make bail. His NIL should cover it.
Hate it for them
