You guys all need some fresh air going at each other over a back up center. They are both back ups at best wherever they go
If our season comes down to whether we should’ve tried to keep EO as a backup or brought in Buca then the rest of the roster probably did okay
I imagine most teams in that theoretical stratosphere like a Michigan are spending most of that money on the 7-8 guys that will actually play and not concerning themselves with finding a 2 million dollar 12th man
I admittedly am sometimes a pessimist on here but I am stunned anyone is seeing this signing as anything other than a positive
He’s going to play 15 min a game like he already has … nobody with any real production was going to take that role here
This is a calculated dice role. Older guy...
The ranking system is so screwed up Baye Fall is CURRENTLY the 208th ranked player in the portal according to Evan Maya rankings
Not 208th player from Africa… 208th overall
my faith in any portal rankings is gone
He was being facetious
The change is universally opposed… when they expanded to 68 it was not met with nearly as much disgust and unhappiness as this change as
A lot of that has to do with the transparency now to the casual fan that this is a complete money grab… and people are already...
It dilute the prestige of the tournament and the metric of a successful season
tournament bids used to be a barometer for keeping or canning a coach
if pike finished 17-14 4 years in a row and was in the play in game every year would that be grounds for a contract extension or letting him go...
All the rankings do is serve to make people feel better that hate those of us critical of the current regime and now the updated rankings benefit those who think the overly optimistic are silly
similarly to the NFL and NBA draft and recruiting pre NIL nobody truly knows how the rankings will...
This is not being done to benefit any mid majors … this is to draw more $ from the major conferences and let more teams in from the leagues that bring revenue
Cmon man that’s not true at all
rebounds aren’t rebounds… if you put a tall guy on a court with a bunch of short stiffs he’s going to get rebounds because he’s taller not because he’s good
This expansion takes more and more shine off the accomplishment of making the tournament
How excited am I going to get if Rutgers makes it at 17-14??? Knowing they’ve had a handful of teams the last 30 years that were better than that and didn’t get in
What makes the most sense is reducing the field back to 64 like it was 25 years ago
would I root for 18-14 Rutgers against 17-15 auburn in a play in game…. Yes of course
but neither would deserve to sniff a significant basketball game in March
The 20 you’re referring to are getting in no matter what they are adding more to mediocre middle third of the field
more play in games more $$$
for the pike haters this actually probably makes his seat hotter
Indiana Oklahoma auburn all would’ve made it none had thrilling resumes all had a...
