Not to derail here, but it will never not be head scratching the number of levels Archie stone failed on here while still to this day being beloved at Dayton. I mean, you talk to Dayton people and they love that dude.

I’m gonna guess Alford really, really enjoyed winning that one. The 2 teams combined for 45 to’s and 11-38 from 3. Quite a clinic.

I’m willing to assume this is correct as far as it goes but it feels…..incomplete.

https://x.com/ganrdns/status/1770489722927771811 This workout video is from March, so was still a Soph at the time. Huge frame for a kid that young. Coordination and movement skills look pretty good. The obvious thought when you look at him is that he was offered by the wrong Indiana school.

Ok, who knew Mongolian metal was a thing? I did not until daughter #1 introduced me to this. 2 things: 1) Not sure if it’s exactly good, but have heard much worse, the combo of the heaviness and throat singing is something. 2) Unlike most metal bands who are just obviouly posers, if you encounter these dudes you just back the F up.

Every time I watch KU I wonder how long Dickinson was on campus before Self looked at Norm Roberts over an end of day scotch and said, “Yeah, we’re not winning anything with him.” He’s a good player but he’s just way too exploitable.

Got to assume his UM career is over.

Man, I’m sure UNC’s trying to take something away from KU, just not sure what. They’re getting the ball wherever they want.

Did they play at the on campus facility? I seem to recall it being really small.

May have to revise my prediction upwards. I watched the Illinois-Ole Miss exhibition and Illinois was bad, both ends. Unless Underwood did the greatest 10 day coaching job in history EIU has got to be godawful.

The idea that the hottest rock star HC in the country is a slightly cranky 63yo 1st time power conference guy at the losingest program in history takes the term “counterintuitive” to whole new heights. Beyond awesome.

IU 92 EIU 62

Freaking. Awesome.

How is this even arguable at this point?

https://247sports.com/article/major-takeaways-from-no-1-aj-dybantsa-and-no-4-nate-ament-showdown-in-boston-239321897/ Nice recap here on both Ament and Dybantsa. Would have been a blast to watch. Ament is a prototype NBA wing and Dybantsa’s a straight freakshow.

Outstanding shout out. Yoast busting out that line while looking like he wanted to murder someone might be my favorite moment in that movie.

The Penn St thing is so weird because even if you’re an eye test guy, and I always have been, and put the resume aside they haven’t looked particularly good against anyone.

Yeah, IU can take care of this by just winning out. But that’s not really the point. The issue is how they’ve moved the selection process to this late in the season to eliminate pre-conceived opinions and yet have done nothing of the sort. The real issue is schools like Bama and Georgia have a margin for error that the IU’s and BYU’s don’t.

And Arkansas won by 16 and Creighton won by 13 and Villanova lost. Wins are good with no exception and losing is always bad. Moral victories are a myth.

You don’t hire Crean, you hire Buckley. Shot coaching is shockingly underrated given the nature of the game. Refining shot mechanics is never ending. I don’t care if you’re putting up 500 shots a day, if it’s not happening with fastidious attention to detail it’s only so productive. My favorite example is Robert Johnson. Dude fought a lot of funk in his stroke. Had some backward lean and left drift. Under Buckley he was basically a 40% shooter over 3 years. Under a year with CAM he had 1 game, Iowa or Minny I think, where he made a million 3’s but his stroke deteriorated all year and he was probably a 35% guy without that game. I don’t care how many shots Woody says they’re getting up in the gym. I care about how they’re getting them up and it better not be just some GA rebounding for them.
