Massive props for the Rory Gallagher shoutout. What a bada$$ that guy was.

Jokic last night: 31pts/21rebs/22asts. What the hell?

My feed this morning is dominated by PU fans bitching about the T on Colvin. I swear, he chinned himself with no one underneath him. Doesn’t get easier than that. And their argument was he was looking around. Bwahahaha.

I read that and thought, “Wait, Bradley’s coach isn’t Kent Stevens.” Yeah, time to head back to the coffee pot.

Yup, he and Adam Herbert were supposedly boys.

Darius Acuff doing Darius Acuff things. Tell ya what, 1 of the funniest things in basketball last year was IMG games and watching Khani Rooths glaring at Acuff as he’d just remorselessly chuck shots.

Will remain a complete skeptic on Stevens but will say this: if IU is/was unable to get it done with him, nobody’s getting it done with him. He’s not gonna end up at KU or UNC down the road. If the dude ever coaches CBB again it will be this job this time.

Putting aside the whole basketball savant part, dude was the best guy I’ve ever met in the game.

Genius

Wow. Spire isn’t remotely on that level. Has catered to international kids in the past, though I might have that wrong. Someone wrote a giant check.

Goode has no business being on the floor right now. He is giving you literally nothing. You can’t stay with him.

Ok, spicing up the thread today with Eric Olen and Herb Sendek references is certainly fun. Ain’t gonna be either of them, but definitely more interesting that another day of are we desperate enough for Chris Beard talk.

I think of all the 0 percent chance guys that we’ve thrown around in this thread, Few is the most 0 percent. He’s got a spectacular life and he’s not leaving the only college he’s ever coached at.

I don't think I mean this as d-baggy as it sounds, or maybe I do, but I wonder how many college basketball coaches Woody could offer a considered judgement on? Maybe 5? Some of those guys remember every action and every decision from every game they've ever been on the bench for, I know for a fact that Self can do that, but Woody has always felt like once he's done thinking about a game he just moves on.

Yeah, wait until he gets beat in the Sweet 16 and the “Can’t win in March” gets rollin’.

Not sure if the NIL situation is great or not. Stu posted a video a couple of weeks back from some Baylor folks that stated that Drew had to raise money to finish his roster and was pretty unhappy about it. That was the 1st time I thought Drew might be possible.

Welcome and that is an incredibly fun 1st post.

1 of those guys is 1 of the flat out best coaches in CBB. Putting the 3 in the same sentence in any context other than generic talk about basketball coaches is simply stupid.

https://x.com/DelphiBrackets/status/1896609851285164427 Delphi’s latest. IU an 11 but not in Dayton. Go ahead and put a beating on Oregon and put an end to the suspense.

Rewatching the game right now. Nothing really new, it was pretty straightforward. Rock solid effort from IU and when Kepnang wasn’t on the floor UW was the worst defensive team they’ve played all year. But 1 thing I can’t get over: if you’re gonna spend the kind of jack they spent on Osobor why in God’s name did you not get someone to run your offense and get that kid the ball in the right spots? You might as well have taken that 2 mil and lit it on fire.

Obviously no way to gauge what a starting lineup could possibly look like, but Zrno’s gonna play. He just turned 22. He’s a growna$$ man and he plays against men. Easy to see him in a Goode role. That stroke will play and he looks like he can do a little more than that.

Why? Personally, I hope nothing of any kind leaks. Obviously won’t happen, but I’d be completely stoked if they scheduled an announcement presser and we didn’t even know who it was for. I want them to be that buttoned up and that meticulous.

Love it. How it needs to be.

Yeah, if you can’t control a post scorer but are unwilling to double them, can’t stay in front of dribble penetration but also can’t tag it and yet are still losing shooters, that’s a triple crown of bad and you’re not beating anybody.

I like him fine. He seems like a good dude and he’s not homering to badly.
