Isn’t this the kind of kid who always ends up at Gonzaga?

That Carter non-foul on the baseline is the quintessential Duke call. It may have been a close call, but 98% of the time that’s a foul.

I agree with you...somewhat. Were our fans screaming for Beilein in '06? The one's who understood what he had done to resuscitate a stone dead UWV while maintaining a perfectly clean program might well have been. Most didn't understand. But those involved in the hiring decision did. And instead opted for a guy who was under sanctions. And they knew that when they hired him. Nobody was screaming for Sampson either. The Administration wasn't somehow tied to him. They could have hired anyone. Their job was to get it right. If they didn't have the foresight to hire Beilein, fine, but it didn't require foresight to not hire a Coach who was dirty.

Agree with all of this. I would think if/when Arizona gets around to doing Sean Miller, that would be the fit.

Last paragraph

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/ryan-welage-1.html I know I’m scouting the stat line here, but I’m profiling him as a marginally athletic spot up shooter who can’t defend a lick. Makes 3’s and free throws. Maybe that’s worth it alone. But how can a 6’9” kid playing 35 min/gm in a midmajor conference finish a 30 game season with 18 steals and 6 blocks? Oh, and 4-26, 1-17 in conference. Count me on the fence.

Going to be very interested to see how much criticism Bennett takes. The man gets nothing but universal accolades, and I'm not suggesting he's not really good. But his tournament record isn't significantly better than FCTC's. Now cap it off with the worst tourney loss in the history of the game.

Wickens was my favorite guy in DTM because he was just so aggressive. But I’m not sure him winning the pole 1st time out is exactly what Indycar was hoping for.

Yeah, the way that sounded in my head and the way it reads on the page are a little askew. I gotta figure out a way to make my dripping sarcasm toward the Butler Way a little clearer.

And the deification of ex-Butler coaches continues. Seriously, that is a spectacular typo. And if it's not a typo, it's even funnier.

He's just allowing Mark Fox to feel good about himself for a half. Dude, it speaks volumes about Bryce Drew, the man.

The kid scored 60% of his team's points. That's pretty much the definition of carrying his team. A shame for him that no one else showed up.

Riley put up 65 in the 2nd half? Was Adams playing 4 guys?

I'm gonna guess that, while the staff fanned out tonight, they will all be in beautiful Seymour tomorrow night.

Direct quote from every UVA fan every single year.

So, even if fired for cause, his contract language gurantees he will be paid his full remaining base salary. Wow. So, in other words, Miller, by asking for it, is telling the school, "You want a winner, I'm gonna give you a winner. But it could get ugly." And the school, by agreeing to it, is saying, "Hang us a banner, big guy!" Obviously UA has to cut Milker loose. But I don't want to hear a single freaking word from the school about how "shocked", or "saddened" they are, or how this behavior flies in the face of their "Mission Statement." They literally incentivized it in his contract!

This is a perfect ending to a perfect half. Just awful.

Roby is a lot like the player Forrester is going to be.

Roby's length is in Juwan's head a little bit.

Gotta get Johnson a look.

Great overplay by Johnson. Destroyed the action.

Inexcusable turnover. Archie needs to destroy Green.

Johnson has been terrific

Fascinating. A kid putting up elite numbers for a tradition-rich 4A program, and basically no information out there on him. Videos, scouting reports, nothing. In this age how is that possible? Has anyone seen him? Is he any good? Or is he just compiling numbers on an otherwise bad team? Has anyone on here actually seen him?
