    Crowd funding Oscars NIL

    $50 in Oscar's hometown of Lubumbashi goes about as far as it does in Kentucky. It's significantly bigger than Louisville.

    Gonzaga

    They've had a cake walk all of those years. The best seed they've beaten in that run? A 4 seed. Last year the made the championship game by beating a 16, 8, 5, 6, and 11.

    Gonzaga

    I think the computers are great at comparing apples to apples, but Gonzaga’s strength of schedule is just on another planet as other tournament teams (49th out of top 50 teams in kenpom). They rocket up kenpom every year once they start dominating their conference games, but I just don’t think...

    *Update - NCAA Tourney Predictive Model 01/30/22*

    Love the model and a lot of it lines up with my gut feel about how some teams would do in the tournament. Without seeing the bracket, I can already tell you I’ll pick Wisconsin to be an early out as a 2 or 3 seed. Tennessee seems like a team that could go on a run.

    The 2nd half sequence when Oscar missed 3 times close

    You are mistaken. It’s not a travel if it’s deemed a shot.

    I am sure I simply missed something but I have to ask.

    Unless we can change federal laws around visas. I don't know the intricacies, but I assume it's easier for Canadians to work in the US and vice versa than others.

    What did Grady say after that three?

    Lol - says the guy that has started a thread melting down over him and references him in his signature. Cal and Sharpe are big time in your head buddy.

    Rumors are building we may have a Sharpe sighting tonight.

    Exhibition games aren’t a good proxy for Miss. St and Kansas. AD’s 2nd collegiate game was actually against Kansas and he had: 14 pts on 6-7 shooting 6 rebounds 7 blocks 2 steals So raise your expectations for Sharpe!

    Tired of being shorthanded

    Cal just doesn’t give guys like that much run. He’s a shorter version of Dontae Allen. I’m sure he would start a lot of places too but unless you are multi-dimensional and can play defense, you don’t play here.

    Tired of being shorthanded

    CJ would be the 5th or 6th guy off the bench this year. He’s not starting.

    Tired of being shorthanded

    Makes complete sense. Healthy enough to play if we need him in the big games but would prefer to let him heal to 100% if we don’t need in the tune up games.

    Malik Monk to Lakers

    Good lord this team is old and very injury prone. You’d think after injuries ruined their chances last year they’d try to minimize that risk

    Update on summer practices

    Along with being good enough/deep enough at the 5, Brooks and Toppin being legitimate three point shooting threats are the biggest things we need to jump from good to great.

    Rothstein predicts Keion Brooks will be a breakout player

    He did that last year! Watch him average 15 and 10 this year
