I remember watching the UT scrimmage and thinking Mbako looked like he had a good offseason and may have a good season. He looked progressively worse instead.

Thanks for the info and "Baileys skillet" sounds delicious.

I read that before reading this one and though I was having Davionja Vu

If the roles were reversed in the Frazier situation, there would be a large group of Indiana fans who celebrate(d) what he did. Complete non issue regarding him coaching here IMO

Definitely not McCollum who said that. Either the author or McCasland. I read it as the author trying to speak for McCasland.

OK, I'm sold. I watched a game earlier this year and was entertained, but the two things @Home Jersey just posted have me all aboard the McCollum train. To me these things are eerily similar to what came out about what Ainge was saying about Stevens (while at Butler) before he decided to pursue him. To me, the point of hiring a coach isn't to win the press conference. It isn't to have success in year 1 or any specific year for that matter. The point of hiring a coach is to get the person you think would have the best career at your school. I understand this is subjective forecasting and extremely difficult. If McCollum's the guy, go get him.

How badass is this... “You’re really easy to guard and predictable, and this offense isn’t any good,” McCollum told him after watching the tape. McCasland was staggered by the verbal haymaker, and he went home to study McCollum’s offense so he could find a retort. His approach had to have some holes, he thought. McCollum’s offense defied the modern principle that playing with pace equals efficiency, but the results justified his beliefs.

How many guys think it will be The Turge? You're right Mark, one. Now stop pinching the scorer's table.

My bad, glad to be wrong! That is a fun bracket. Thanks!

So they changed it from that awesome bracket you posted earlier (2024) to a "normal" bracket this year? Boo! Do you know how many years they utilized the 2024 format?

I got tickets for the 1st day for cheap a month or so ago. Think a poster on here alerted me to the deal at the time (sorry not sure who or I'd give credit). It was $170 for 4 tickets (3 games) in the 104 section. At the time, it looked like IU might be playing, but its looking like they'll make it out of the bottom 6 of teams playing (bottom 9 overall).

Strange timing and they obviously didn't get the memo that the process shouldn't start until after the season or that's its mean to fire a coach before he gets 4 full seasons.

Maybe be playing an "old friend" in Calipari in the First Four...

If we can get someone from 2-7 I'd be thrilled.
