exactly....Pike won his share against them, including in the BTT, and we should have won last year too. Heck in Feb 2024 we beat them by 30 points. Now look. That's what money does.
He took Florida Atlantic to a final four. He’s an elite coach and now has a huge NIL budget. Both things can be true.
He is a great coach as well
Does he have 2 of the top 5 NBA draft picks?
I do wonder if Gonzaga was just not ready to play 3 games in 3 days. I have the same issue with the conference tournaments, where teams play a couple times a week all season, and then all of a sudden play in a bunch of games in a row, and then fall apart early in the tournament because they run out of gas.
Michigan played 3 games in 3 days and averaged 99 points and won by an average of 33 per game
You seem to forget that there are 5 players on the court at all times for both teams, 2 great players can't win by themselves
I’m not arguing that, I am just saying if Gonzaga plays the game on normal rest it is potentially a lot closer. Just because both teams are playing 3 days in a row doesn’t mean they both
No way. Not with the trash taking Gonzaga was doing claiming they had the best frontline. That was a good old fashioned butt kicking. No excuses for Gonzaga as Few would not be offering the lame excuse you made. Michigan is playing almost perfect basket ball right now. Purdue would have a hard time staying within 10-15 points of them. But it is only November. Will not help us playing # 1 Purdue and likely #2 Michigan in our first 3 conference games back to back home and away.
Why should we care? You are not paying any of Pikes salary!
Not only are there five players on the court, but there are eight or nine who play in each game. Also, being top five NBA picks doesn’t mean they were the top players in the country because it is difficult to win with freshmen so it’s talented and productive as they both were, between the two of them they made bad mistakes in about six games in the closing moments.
When RU got 2 of the best recruits in the country, our coach couldn't finish above .500.
Best recruits does not equal best players, especially freshman. It equals best potential someday, nothing mord.
Ok. Kindly irrelevant as Gonzaga was ready to play but just got their *** kicked. Worst loss in Mark Few’s career and no fluke. If Michigan plays like this in March, which I doubt they will , they will the end the BIG 10 draught and win the National Championship . Lots of time for things to change but right now those the best 3 wins , back to back to back in 3 straight days.
