[quote]I just don’t understand our fanbase negativity towards Rylan. [/quote]
I mean if he just came out and admitted Kansas paid him, or even said some crap about being closer to home or feeling like he could have a bigger impact on the team no one would care. But he keeps saying shite about want...

[quote]I agree the Double Bonus is annoying.But I think going to quarters would get rid of 1 and 1s which I love.[/quote]
I'd be OK with extending the bonus to like 12 or 13 fouls to make late game FT shooting contests a little more interesting. ...

[quote] I like the two 20 minute halves.[/quote]
Why? Even high schools play quarters. Halves just turn late game situations into a mess because both teams are inevitably in the double bonus, which gives refs even more influence than they already have. ...

There's literally no reason not to other than the need to increase the scholarship cap. There'd need to be a corresponding increase in non-revenue women's scholarships though, which I'm sure is the holdup. ...

Well, yeah, that's kind of my point. We know that signing a bunch of top 10 prep recruits is pretty hit or miss generally and doesn't translate well to winning in the postseason anymore. Even Cal finally acknowledged it the other day. It just seems that Duke is using that exact same strategy (10 pre...

Yeah I just don't get the Duke love. Scheyer is basically trying to recreate the formula that eventually led to the breakdown of the Cal-UK marriage, but it's going to work this time because Duke? I'm not seeing the rationale there. ...

Yeah we have 6 super seniors, all of whom are really good basketball players. You have to assume that there's going to be a lot of self policing when it comes to effort and focus. I expect them to be locked in all season. ...

Nah. He's going to develop Wemby and retire. Brad Stevens is the more realistic hire. ...

If he was 10-15 years older it would be poetic that he never has to experience the utter travesty of his beloved UCLA playing in the B1G, but he was only Saban's age. I will miss the late night, occasionally basketball themed journeys of self discovery. ...

Yes. He has our only Final Four and it doesn't appear to be a flash in the pan.

A lot of his career coincided with the pre-at large bid era, so you either won your conference tournament or didn't get in. Even after the field expanded to begin accommodating at large bids there were still only a handful of...

Should have been there last year, but he finally seems to be getting some recognition for dragging an otherwise pitiful defensive lineup to being an overall good defensive team. Herb is flat out the best on ball defender in basketball right now. Not bad for someone who is mentally retarded. ...
