Well, whatever will we do now? Clingan, Castle, Newton, Spencer all gone? Maybe even Karaban? The sky is falling, I tell you! Seriously, though, I expect Karaban will dip his toes in the water but ultimately end up back on the beach. Then there’s Johnson/Reed Jr., Diarra/Nowell, Ball, and...

Get one post move that he can reliably make going left, and one going right. Improve his upper body strength. Work on holding position on D without fouling Make free throws.

Well, Big Hoss is a much better nickname than Pork Chop (later, The Wrench). Outstanding, things are taking shape. Welcome aboard, Big Hoss.

It’s Quick Change, as much as Caddyshack, Stripes, Meatballs, What About Bob, and several others are classics. “We came … about the money.” ”At least give us the women.” “Get your own women.” Geena Davis, Randy Quaid and Jason Robards were all great.

I'm probably going to get lambasted for this, but here goes... I love that Ollie held the team together after the banning and got the 4th title, the first non-Calhoun, in 2014. I think you can say he did it with Calhoun's recruits, he did it with Napier and Boatright and Daniels and Giffey, he...

I love his natural ability, but he does have to work on his shooting for consistency - he has a very good stroke, and will be able to nail that down. His activity and athleticism on the defensive side, blocking shots and rebounding, were a very nice revelation. This year's team was very...

He didn’t start Devin Booker either.

Just spent a great 20 minutes listening to Mike Krzyzewski interview Dan Hurley on the College Sports channel on Sirius. Awesome. K was extremely complimentary, almost awed by what DH has accomplished, told him what a great job he did reconstructing and preparing the team this year, and was...

Best news I've seen today. Hope it sticks. Juggernaut!

Didn't attend UConn, but grew up in West Hartford (HS in the 70's). Played a lot of basketball growing up and in HS, and used to listen to UConn games on a transistor radio that I bought with money from a paper route :cool:. They were "pro basketball" for me in Connecticut. I remember the...

I expect Karaban, Diarra, Ball, Johnson, Stewart all will be around next year. That's a pretty awesome 5 to build on. Ross too. He was a little too buried on the bench even early in the season and definitely late, but he has talent. Add in Nowell and Abraham (loved what I saw from him in the...

I'm old enough to have seen a lot of great basketball teams. There were more talented teams, like the UNC team with Worthy/Jordan/Perkins (3 NBA HOF), Kentucky '96 with Delk/Walker/McCarty/Mercer, the Alcindor (Rowe & Wicks) & Walton (Wilkes) UCLA teams, and so on. And check out Duke 1986, they...

You were also watching a couch burn in the jungle? That's some coincidence!

Couldn’t agree more. Lockdown from 1-5 defensively, and the most poetic offense I’ve seen. Just remarkably talented, poised and efficient.

This isn’t even a question anymore.

Amen

Dug out a 2011 National Championship long sleeve T - which worked in 2014 quite nicely.

Glendale is the place Step smartly to the forefront And eclipse Purdue All your lives you have Been waiting for this moment Do not let it pass Etched permanently In basketball history Be legendary!

I liked hearing from both Grant Hill and Raftery. Raf is always great, but Grant added quite a lot to the broadcast.

We will make the tournament next year even with the loss of Newton, Spencer, Clingan and Castle, and once in we can always do damage. I expect Karaban to stay, and I think Diarra. Stewart can play at this level but has work to do over the summer to improve his handle and be more reliable...

Kaufman-Renn will be a handful if he posts Karaban, who needs to play him without fouling. But he is an afterthought in their offense. Other than that I like all the other defensive matchups. Smith is quick and clever, but Shannon and Sears were quicker and stronger and both will be home...

I want this one badly, because this team just doesn’t deserve to lose with how amazingly poetic they play on offense, and how tough, determined, and resilient they are on defense. It’s really unlike anything I’ve seen in college, so unselfish sharing the ball, scoring at every position...

Castle goes out with 4 fouls … and this team does not miss a beat. Stretched the lead out comfortably with the player of the game on the bench. clingan has really got his legs under him now, no silly fouls. I’ll be disappointed if he gets hit with tricky tack stuff vs Edey i want to see...

The one thing I’ll say for the refs in this game is they refrained from calling fouls on the player trying to hold their ground on Edey. If we make it past ‘Bama hopefully that will also be true Monday night.

Back to 9. NC St. may be over their head, but playing hard.

Exactly my point. He has all the capability to do it, just needs the mindset and coaching.

Well, from what I saw he "wandered" from his assignment from time to time, and missed some help rotations from too much focus on Flagg. But yes, he did a good job when Flagg had the ball. Defense isn't all about what you do with your man, it's what you do in the team concept, which is why some...

Heard the announcers talking about his 4.0 GPA also. Smart and talented, great shooting form, good length, and cares about winning. There's a lot there.

They're not as good as even a middling college team. Kentucky every year is Monteverde with freshman studs all over the roster. How many final fours have they made recently? The college game is MUCH faster, and the athletes more developed. For example, I suspect Northwestern would eat them...

Yeah, Cooper Flagg is pretty darn good. Abraham is playing on him, and not doing a bad job. Flagg is just that good.:(

Abraham looks smooth and has great shooting form. He needs a lot of work on defense. But he'll be a player from year one if he puts the work in on defense.

Al Davis quoted: "Just win, baby," if by one Or even thirty It doesn't matter That 'Bama thinks that they can They will find they can't Alabama has The R. T. Jones Trail courses That's its best feature

Drilled a fadeaway 3 from about 27 feet as the clock was running down. Impressive.

McNeely would look good in National Flag Blue. Just hit a 3. To be fair, all the kids on the court now can play.
