2018 NCAA Tournament Games

That was terrible. Holiday must have excelled at the Tony Carr school of off arm clearing of space.

Holiday finally got called for that push off.

I’m glad IU didn’t get Wilkes. No way him and Archie would have meshed. The kid messed the bus and does what ever he wants on the court

[Crimson and Cream]

Just came here to say "LOL!" at Alford and the Bruins. I keep thinking eventually kids will see how bad of a coach he is but that warm weather and bright lights are just too much for them. I bet Wilkes is wishing he had stayed in state now.

Please Louisville hire Alford

If you are not a fan of the First 4 then you hate fun. That was an awesome atmosphere to be a part of. That was a home game for the Bonnie’s. Shout out to Wojo from ESPN and wife that donated 10,000 to the Bonnie’s to bus the students to the game. On tv when you watch the first 4 it doesn’t look full but in person the upper bowl is full. I will post some more pictures later. Heck of a way to start the tourney out

Some people still don’t “buy” it despite all the evidence. Amazing really.

Not possible, he's from Indiana! I keep hearing over and over about how Indiana players are amazing and the answer to our problems. Hmmmm...maybe that's a ridiculous line of thought?

Seriously how much longer does Steve last at UCLA?  His 2018 recruiting class will likely save him for another year but it seems like most of the fans want him out.

To be fair I am not sure I have ever seen that thought process man.

Alford’s team struggling against the St. Bonaventure zone defense. Only 23 pts in the first half. 
To all the people who wanted Alford as coach (including that blowhard Dakich): You were pining for the second coming of Crean. 

AMEN

Hopefully Alford gets 1 more year. Rather have him be a lame duck trying to recruit TJD

Is it true Alford has been to the sweet sixteen 3 out of 5 years at UCLA?

It’s not what UCLA fans want but that’s pretty decent results.

I think Alford is a second tier type coach. We make him out to be worse than he is imo.

He's literally never been past it though. 

The coaches we have fired plus Archie all managed to get past it quicker.

I definitely understand that. That’s why he isn’t an elite coach. He’s not terrible either though. When u get the talent he seems to get, the stars might align someday. 3/5 years to the sweet sixteen would give me hope as a fan so long as the recruiting doesn’t dry up.

Alford is arguably a worse coach than Crean. He’s done less with way more talent. It’s embarrassing that people actually wanted him here.

Alford took Iowa, yes Iowa to 3 NCAAs and 3 NITS in 8 season. The first miss was his first season, the second miss was 17-14 year.

New Mexico (the powerhouse) went to 3 NCAAs and 3 NITs in Alfords 6 season.

Now he makes 4 tourneys in 5 years with UCLA, 3 being sweet sixteens.

Is he really an awful coach? Come on.

He's not awful but he will never ever win anything of significance. So if your goal is to win a championship the time to change is now. 

Same reason I wanted Crean gone for 4-5 years.

Judge him the same way you judged Crean.

Crean took Marquette (powerhouse) to the Final Four

Alford adopted a Bruins program that was coming off massive success under Howland

Alford has had some of the best recruiting classes every year at UCLA

Check out Alford's AjdD KenPom numbers. He's literally Crean with more talented players.

Fran McCaffery took Iowa to 3 ncaa tournaments and 3 NITs( runner up finish)
But most people think he is an awful coach.

I don’t think Alford is awful by any means he just isn’t a coach that I would want to be running the program I’m invested in
