    I get sick watching Virginia play

    This is why many Wisconsin fans have had wet dreams thinking and hoping Bennett will be their coach some day. Tempo-control, slow-down basketball....when your shots aren't falling you try to make the game as ugly of a grinder as possible.

    Coaches that should have never coached at bigger schools

    As another poster mentioned, Jeff Bzdelik is one of the best examples. 36-58 at Colorado with no significant improvement in 3 seasons before Wake Forest thought he would lead them to greatness. Jim Christian washed out at TCU (in the Mountain West then) going 18-44 in conference in four...

    Tubby Smith has agreed to be the coach at Memphis

    I think this is a good move for Tubby. He will likely do better as a big fish in a smaller pond. Why fight tooth and nail to just be a bubble team in a power conference when he can probably be a regular tourney lock in a second tier conference.

    Tubby Smith has agreed to be the coach at Memphis

    Andre Hollins as well. The starting backcourt for Minnesota for a few years.

    Is Rick Barnes still at Texas?

    His "havoc" style of ball will win you lots of games, but you have to have a half court offense if you want to win in the tournament. An opponent that doesn't turn the ball over will always send "havoc" ball packin'. Same reason West Virginia took a nose-dive. Shaka hasn't made it out of the...

    Purdue looks good!

    Yes. Definite Final Four potential but I am skeptical that their guards will play well for four consecutive games against tournament competition. Consistent guard play was their achilles heel all year.

    Is Tubby solidfied as a Hall of Famer now?

    All that smoldering bitterness towards Minnesota just because they fired Tubby? How come you aren’t angry that Kentucky didn’t do more to make Tubby stay?

    The NCAA should camp out in Minnesota next year

    5 scholarship players and no guards.....Minnesota would have been better off just forfeiting their last 4 games. Pitino Jr. is a dead man walking. He better have his resume ready come next March. Would any prominent program even want him as an assistant after this showing? I suppose his dad...

    Is Tubby solidfied as a Hall of Famer now?

    I am talking about the tournament success he had in 1989 and 1990. Not the tainted '97 final four team. It's a hell of a long time ago so most people don't remember.

    OT: Boston College

    Didn't they fire Al Skinner just because he showed interest in a job opening at another school?

    Is Tubby solidfied as a Hall of Famer now?

    Nope. Not during 1989 and 1990. Haskins didn't cheat until the program went stagnant under him years later. Nice try though.

    Most favorite and least favorite commentators?

    Dislike: Vitale & Dakitch (obnoxious) and Bilas (know-it-all plus his comments like "is there another player in basketball who does this better?....yet he repeats this type of comment every game for different players, coaches, teams...) Like: Harlan. Except I miss the old Kevin Harlan before...

    Is Tubby solidfied as a Hall of Famer now?

    What a load of bullsh!t. As crestcat pointed out, just look at UCONN. Or I can give you an even better example: Wisconsin. Wisky was a hot, steaming pile of dog crap before 2000. They had only 8 winning seasons in a 40 year stretch from ’54 to ’95. They went 23 years without a winning Big...

    Wisconsin up 35-15 at #2 Maryland

    Maryland doesn't impress me. They lost their composure as the second half wound down. You beat Wisconsin by attacking the basket, not by continually jacking threes when you aren't shooting well. Or by jacking threes when you have a man advantage fast break. I really hope Kentucky and...

    Does Clappy's Run End Tonight at Wisconsin? Game thread

    Not shocking to see Wisky win. Crean is now something like 2-13 against Wisconsin since taking over at Indiana. Wisky's swing offense, tempo-control style of play is Crean's kryptonite. And as long as a Bo Ryan disciple is there, Indiana will continue to be owned by Wisky. Dakich is really...
