It took Sanogo's 22 & 20 game for me to know it was the last weekend of the NBA regular season, and now that even with play-ins more than half the league will still be in the playoffs, I can still keep sitting things out.

I don't participate much in speculative threads...in terms of speculation. I'm weighing to commend you for a well-constructed post, AND for weighing in with you own thoughts as a separate post. I think both have fostered an interesting discussion this far. Thank you

I regard @HuskyNan as a maximally prolific and trustworthy Boneyard poster. Go to WBB Forum for clarity on that point. I believe her when she says she's known him for a long time, because she has included portions of his back story that align with my having had passing acquaintance with him...

New grid is up on X. Does not show Hass, because not yet official. I don't know how to port it over to here. Btw, awesome avatar!

Sounds like more than expressing a simple preference for pencil-pushing, but still has me wondering ... Sharpened? Eraser end first? Interesting reveal.

Fair enough. As I recall it, I was confirmed about 55 years ago, and my wife was expecting 39 years ago.

Will it be enough to get over the hump with Cooley & Georgetown?

Post/avatar (Nobody already wrote that?) Was that supposed to have been a question rather than a statement? "Rushmore" was Murray's debut in a Wes Anderson movie I'd tell you to have a Snickers, but maybe better advice would be that those aren't Baby Ruths you've been snacking on. At...

The misunderstanding arose from me having quoted a post by you AND a post by somebody else within the same reply. For that, I apologize. And I only quoted that paragraph for clarity as to what I was referencing. It's not all as though there's any other criticism toward that I'm not...

Is "expecting" the same as "confirmed?"

Not untrue factually, though this has not perceptibly moved the needle one way or the over on the issues that remain. Losing to a #1 seed in the second round could not have had that effect. More likely, continuing further would issuenan implicit invitation for others to respond 'in kind' by...

Thank you, sort of. As with most of my posts that can be read as take downs, I'm much more interested in taking down the overreaching and self-certainty. It has been suggested, by analogy, that a benefit of meditation practice is to still the overactive, perpetually reactive, or...

Before going into the locker room, Kevin Ollie said, "We're gonna win this game." I thought it was bold to point of preposterousness. UConn won. I was wrong. I felt similarilarly strained and skeptical when Dan Hurley said, "You better get us now..." Even though I believed there was improvement...

The first sentence is an undeniably true statement. I watched it all, and it was great to see UConn defeat the top team in the A-10, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, and then the top two teams in the SEC. Over 3 consecutive weekends, Kevin Ollie earned coaching victories over Martelli, Wright, Izzo...

Great way to work vintage Knicks back into the conversation. My reference standard for team ball will always be the Celtics that preceded the Knicks; various Celtics team after, the '75 Warriors, but an additional reflection upon considering recruiting, roster construction, power conferences...

Based on @JonnyRI 's follow-up, "In 2011, I got my then-new wife hooked on UConn basketball" would eliminate the ambiguities and preserve the metaphor of getting somebody hooked on something. Labeling oneself a "grammar Nazi" is a capitulation to a type of aggressive anti-intellectualism that...

I was lured in by 108 posts and near the top of the list nearly 5 days in.

How do you measure how much less you could care? #fettkickingood I enter a thread for the first time, and it's closing in on 500 posts, so I jump to the most recent and then back up 1 page. Am I up to date? Have I missed anything?

From a quick search, I think I've seen that Brian Doyle-Murray's final year associated with SNL was 1982. Luke was born in 1985. I experience this as a minor disappointment arising from something not being a more delightful coincidence in relation to a pretty niche audience, which is not to...

Is there a fat chance or a slim chance that you'll see another one as good? My favorite pet peeve is the increasing prevalence with which here and elsewhere I see the present and past tense of "lead" written as though it operates the same as the present and past tense of "read." Where better...

Did we have the experience of watching better-played college basketball than any other fanbase? So long as we actually watched, yes, And isn't that a reward in itself? Yes, especially with the additional validation that came from watching the NCAA Tournament games. Is everybody who is not us...

I'm late to this thread, wondering if others have already mentioned that Reed has experience winning in Madison Square Garden, over Pitino's Red Storm no less .

That I'm the first to react and comment is a suggestably good example of how few people notice or care.

After you change your handle to HungryHu6ky, nobody will remember this comment. Shrewd strategy.

Thank you for posting Outkick's mission statement. It provides a basis for your animus, and it gives me greater insight into what would therefore far more likely represent a conscious choice, undoubtedly at an editorial level, to substitute the fabricated term "garbage parents" and therby create...

Why? It's a great interview. Either Dan can register their displeasure with the dishonesty and potential for negative effect from the word "garbage," and affected parties can take it from there. It's true that Outkick bears responsibility for endorsing an editorial lapse in judgment, but are...

Was that before or after his back-to-back National Championships? Seriously, Edsall was making progress, but he was not a the pinnacle of his entire profession, nor is UConn an inappropriate setting for someone to be in that position. If the college athletics landscape were to change so...

Or, "The name's Bond...KaraBond," gentleman assassin by license, but does his work more often in subtler ways. His ability to avoid awards this year was unprecedented. I don't get the impression it bothered him as much as it did me and others. In one post-Finals interview, he talked about...

Bulletin board materia...if he weren't so chill. It's a shame he didn't get a single digit uniform number. It’s a little too clunky to call him "Agent Double-O 11," but that's who he is.

Your final emoji gives me pause about taking this at full face value, but my inclination is to keep my mind open as to the sincerity or your post and the assessment if Timberlake. How he grows will reflect the impact of Self's culture, and all else will show out on the court if UConn meets...

This is my favorite Hurley interview so far. My only objection is the unaccountable title. THAT'S what's garbage. Unless I missed a single mention (okay, I'llnsay 2 just to be super safe), the word "garbage" does not appear in the written article OR the 20+ minute interview. The article uses...

I really wanted to come in here all scolding-like, wondering about karma gods taking notes on the needless pigpile of flat-out dishing after our team's epic success. We got validation & relief that our principled guy didn't just say, "Nope" to a reported record-setting pay package, but that the...

After the Snickers, he might benefit from an updated handle. Start low, go slow, ya know.
