Good topic after winning the BT. Maybe we should discuss how we will suck in the 2021-2022 season.

Adds a bit of perspective to our collective angst.

[quote name="Calipari" post="249873" timestamp="1456705166"]If Thon comes, who leaves?[ I doubt we get him but right now we are not over signed and I would be surprised if both TW and TB return. Am guessing that at least one of them leave, especially if we happen to make a run in the tourney and they look good.

Isn't it refreshing that, at least at this point, we are not discussing the 2-3 players that need to be run off to make room for the new recruits?

Bingo. That is a big component. Hate to drag out the Cuse game but the "Cody" team getting matched up with a team with tall/long guards that played a very tough zone was about the worst matchup we could have encountered. This year I would rather play a UK/UNC team than a grinder like Wiscy.

Figures. Purdue is playing a rare game on ESPN and they are showing toilet commercials.

Think of our D in Maui and now....

Lot of game to go but.......good Troy has shown up so far.

Painter is crying....beautiful

Bryant tends to get gassed. This one is going to tough for him.

Thanks for the ESPN News heads up

I hate how tightly they line up these games. OT....ugh. Who cares about friggin SEC hoops???

There are certain guys some might hate but would love if they were on their team. Skiles - MSU Cardinal - PU Fife - IU

Coach K got a technical...I did not think that was allowed under NCAA rules. On another note. Many say coaching is stressful but Ricky P and Coach K are nearly a combined 199 years old but neither has a single grey hair.

Hey. How bout those Boilers??? Boiler down!!!

I agree. They both even seem to be similar in being slightly "odd".

They do. He is recruiting well but natives are not happy this year.

Ha!! I guess one could argue that the 700 people still in our stands at the end of the game are really football fanatics.

That's great if you are into it but I am so sick about hearing how he loves his bike I cannot take it anymore. He would be fun to have a beer, or "whatever". with but he drives me nuts when he calls a game.

Pretty sweet for UCLA in that their burger boy big man Welsh gets in foul trouble and they bring in burger boy Parker to replace him. They have 6 players that were top 40 players in the US and three of them were ranked higher than any player on IU. I assume UCLA is doing real well this year.

He makes Crean look mellow on the sideline. I would T him up. He is 4-5 feet deep on the court when UCLA has the ball, and/or is shooting FT's, in front of their bench.

Bill Walton covering the UCLA-AZ game and, as always, he is talking about things he has done in his life and how great he is. I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I are his 10 favorite words. Would rather hear Dickie V do a play by play of my wedding night than hear Walton call a game.

Anyone watching UCLA-AZ? Did not think it was possible but Miller makes Crean look mellow on the sideline. He is regularly walking 4-5 feet onto the court when UCLA has a live ball in front of his bench. I would T him up. EDIT: oops, meant to post this in college game thread not MSU pre-game

At home, yes.

Time outs are better (like you said, only took 7 years) Substitutions not as puzzling or frenetic Defense better Less TO's. Granted, as recently as Wiscy we had 20 but early in the year we had that many against really bad teams. Won without stars dominating Would have liked to have seen Troy roam/cut to the baseline more but at least he did not go "one on three" except for one drive that went too deep. Crean does not seem to freak out as much when the games get close. In the past when the games got tight he looked like he had been driving for 5 hours and was desperate to find a bathroom.
