    Duke Maluach enters NBA draft

    Flagg will likely go #1, and I’ve heard some NBA draft gurus say that both Knueppel and Maluach are likely top-10 picks. Crazy to think that Duke could potentially have 3 of the top-10 draft picks and didn’t win the NCAAT. Warms the cockles of my heart 😂

    Alvaro Folgueiras

    Absolutely agree -- I would love to have him on the roster and I think he could ultimately be a Carr-Williams hybrid with the combo of passing and perimeter shooting skills he brings to the table! I think Pope would maximize his skillset offensively, and a little different approach to guarding...

    Alvaro Folgueiras

    Yes, he's very crafty with the passes and I can see that working great in Pope's system. Skill-wise, I think his offensive game would be fine, but he has "room for growth" on the defensive side. He got tripped in one instance for sure, but in rewatching the vid to refresh my memory, I counted no...

    Alvaro Folgueiras

    I think Alvaro's offensive skills will translate after adjusting to the uptick in the level of competition, but after watching the highlights of the RMU-Bama NCAAT game, he seemed to struggle defensively. He has limited lateral quickness, and although it was only highlights, he looked a little...

    Jay Bilas postgame

    I think there's probably some truth to this. Both coaches likely told their players that fouls were not being called, so up the aggressiveness and see how far you can push the envelope in the 2nd half. Again, as a former coach, I know I would have told my team the exact same thing during...

    Jay Bilas postgame

    As a fan and former high school coach, I think the most frustrating thing is how the whistle often changes during the course of the game. Last night's NCAA Championship game was a prime example. Despite being extremely physical from the get-go, there were a total of 4-5 fouls called in the first...

    The Final Four whistle…..

    As a fan and former high school coach, I think the most frustrating thing is how the whistle often changes during the course of the game. Last night's NCAA Championship game was a prime example.

    Watching all the talking heads pick Tennessee

    Most all of the pundits picked Illinois as well….I liked how that one turned out. Most every time their backs have been against the wall this season the Cats have found a way to defy the odds. It will be a tall task to beat UT, but beating anyone at this stage is tough sledding!

    Donovan Dent enters portal

    He is ranked as the #1 portal transfer by the site I've linked (and by most other sites as well). Not sure how reliable this source is, but the blurb about him says that Kentucky is his dream school and that he is currently working on setting up a vist to Lexington. We can hope...

    And so it begins. Obvious charge call goes against Carr. How are the SEC refs so bad?

    Our improvements the past 2-3 weeks

    I believe improved defensive rebounding (if it continues) will have the greatest impact on improving the team’s overall defensive efficiency moving forward. The defensive numbers have improved over the past 2-3 games, but the only thing that has perceptibly changed dramatically is the rebounding...
