    USF Coaching hire

    He had a tough time of it coming out of COVID and possibly adapting to the NIL stuff (don't know that for sure). He had a couple of really good years there to start and likely would have made the NCAA tournament that was canceled by COVID and when they came back Louisville just struggled and...

    2026 Softball Thread

    Whoever said the program is too far gone to get back with just a new coach...that is wrong on so many levels. Volleyball did it in 2 years after Wills sort of ran the program into the ground. The right coach will bring in the right players and things can change quickly. There's a ton of...

    New Mexico is a 52% favorite over Tulsa 48%

    Doesn't matter. If the big man gets his, let him get his. Our goal should be to limit and stop everyone else. It's the same with every team who has a singular star. We actually held Giles in check the other day but if I recall, they had 4 other players get double figures including some scrub...

    USF Hires Chris Mack as Head Basketball Coach

    He is a good coach. Took over a disaster of a situation at Louisville (sort of the same as Kragthorpe going there and having to clean out the prison pop from his locker room). And he did fairly well pre-COVID at Louisville and then something happened. He had that awful start that one year and...

    Who do we want to play in the Semis: New Mexico 26-10 or St. Joseph 24-11?

    I feel like the Miami (OH) coach's philosophy of shooting 40 3pt FGs per game should be in play for us with as many good shooters as we have. My guess is we'd hit 15 easily and it's so hard for avg shooting teams to keep up with that.

    Wichita State NIT game thread

    This is going to be the all time greatest collapse in the history of TU basketball. Just brutal and Konkol has zero answers

    NCAA Tournament Thread

    There's a reason why I haven't watched much college basketball at all during the regular season.

    NCAA Tournament Thread

    Is it too much to hope a light standard crashes to the floor during the UCLA/UCONN game severely maiming Cronin and Hurley and rendering them unable to speak?

    NCAA Tournament Thread

    High Point coach called out the power conferences and the BS that is the NET rating. Said if they could get more neutral court games against the power schools and a home game or two people would find out who the best teams are but he mentioned a few schools and none of the schools could get...

    NCAA Tournament Thread

    TCU wins in a mild upset over Ohio State. Miami of OH handled SMU in the first four game. BTW all 4 first four games were pretty good basketball games. High Point about to be the 12/5 upset over Wisconsin. Siena leads Duke by 11 at the half. My prediction for this one is 3 Siena players foul...

    CHAMP WEEK 2026

    Wow. The Iowa State and Arizona game was a barn burner. Just a great game. I can see them having a rematch late in the NCAA tournament.

    CHAMP WEEK 2026

    No, we're saying those teams have earned their way into the bracket by winning their conference tournament, not because Old Joe knows the AD at Auburn and is friends with Bruce Pearl so he's gonna throw Pearl's kid a bone and put him in. If that's the case, then at large teams should be...

    CHAMP WEEK 2026

    I agree that conference champions should not be forced to play a play-in game which you always end up with 4 teams battling it out for 2 #16 seeds which are always AQs. And I've been saying for years if you can't go at least .500 in your conference, how in the world can you claim you're one of...

    CHAMP WEEK 2026

    There absolutely needs to be a rule that if you don't finish .500 in your conference then you aren't eligible for an at-large. Who the hell cares that you played 15 Q1 games and won5 of them when you lose 10. Plus those teams always lose some dog games too but all anyone focuses in is 5 Q1 wins...
