    SC Women’s Team Down by 30

    If I coached a women's college team, I would go find 5 dudes who would take a million each to say they're women. We would go undefeated. And all of you would tune in to see it.

    Freshman Led Teams Just Aren’t Winning The Titles Anymore

    - A team of veterans can win - A team led by freshmen can win - A team led by new portal transfers can win - A team with no roster continuity can win - A team with a new coach who hasn't had time to "build a culture" can win All of the above can also go home the first weekend. Just get some...

    Freshman Led Teams Just Aren’t Winning The Titles Anymore

    It's a fool's errand to think you'll discover the formula for the perfect team based on a handful of games in a single-elimination tournament. People want to take this season, dominated with freshman success, and want to dismiss it based on a game here or there. If anything, this season proved...

    I asked Grok AI to build us a championship roster.

    You guys make fun, but you do realize Mark Pope is asking his AI the same question so he knows who to recruit.

    Last Four Champions - Roster Breakdown

    Exactly. The vast majority of the teams did not have star freshmen, and they didn't even make the tournament.

    Last Four Champions - Roster Breakdown

    Interesting stuff and good job putting that together. I would be interested in seeing the Elite 8 for those years, to have more data points for drawing conclusions.

    This is comical, but…

    It looked like the ref was leaning in to tell him over all the noise that there is still time on the clock. He leaned in too and it looked weird. His expression shows he wasn't ripping the ref or anything.

    Was that after 1983 or was it Premadonna?

    For those saying Cal has done less with more…..

    I know what you're saying, but the freshmen carried them all year. Plenty of upperclassmen made silly mistakes in this tourney too that cost their teams. UConn's freshman made the game-winning shot. Freshmen have shown out big time in this tourney. A huge feather in the hat of the strategy of...

    For those saying Cal has done less with more…..

    It's foolish when people draw broad conclusions based on a game that could have gone either way. I hate Duke, but if Mullins misses the shot, we would talking about how Hurley will never make another Final 4, blah, blah, blah.

    Elite Eight Thread

    It's too bad we can't full court press because it doesn't force turnovers like it did in the 90s.
