    How did we go 13 years without a Final 4?

    Tubby Smith was a lot like Marvin Lewis for the longest time. Had a consistently warm to hot seat but did just enough to not be fired. You can't fire a coach who has your team ranked annually and can make an elite 8 type run every 3-4 years while also winning the SEC and beating your in-state...

    Bill Walton on gameday

    Don't see how anyone can dislike Walton. He's having more fun with life than any of us including those other stiff talking heads. Also, he isn't bound to filtering what he says by ESPN like Greenberg and the other hacks - he can criticize refs when need be. Only Bobby Knight had that kind of...

    Patrick Ewing named Georgetown coach

    He is Patrick F'n Ewing and has been an NBA assistant across multiple teams for years now. If youre a 4 or 5 star Big and don't think Patrick Ewing showing up at your door, talking about what it takes to make the Association, what NBA teams look for, how he can teach you to grow your game, etc...

    Biggest underachievement ever?

    The Stephen As and Cowherds follow college basketball one month out of the year and come in with their own ridiculous hot takes just to get people talking. They are best ignored

    Stephen A. Smith Makes The Case That Cal Is Underachieving

    This is a deeper question than most give credit for. Has cal underachieved? Well, compare him to the other greats: K, Roy, Izzo, Pitino, Self, etc. In the last 8 years Uk has outperformed all those programs with Duke being the only debate. Duke won two titles with good teams but certainly not...

    Indiana is a "Has Been"

    You will not find an independent college town ranking that has lexington above Bloomington. Most don't have them close. I've lived in Lexington and been to Bloomington a time or two. I hate Indiana the school. I hate Indiana the state. But Bloomington is a better college town than Lexington. If...

    Indiana is a "Has Been"

    In terms of college towns go Bloomington is far superior to Lexington. The area around Lexington and Kentucky as a state in general kick IUs *** though And yea talk to any IU fan and say you're a cat and they will bring up that 2011 shot still as if it's the ultimate trump card. Pretty crazy...

    Indiana is a "Has Been"

    This is what the younguns don't remember At one point both IU and UK had 5 titles a piece. That's put IU well above the likes of Kansas, UNC, and Duke (who was an afterthought until the 90s) at the time. For elite programs you had UCLA, Kentucky, and Indiana. IU with their fanbase and winning...

    If you had a choice of giving Louisville, Indiana, or Duke the death

    Wait, Indiana hasn't been on the death penalty for the last 25 years?

    Most NCAAT Wins Since 2010

    Izzos specialty has always been the 1 game turnaround. Don't know the numbers off the top of my head but his records in 2nd round games and elite 8s far outweigh his records in first round, sweet 16, and final fours That being said personnel wise I love Miami over Kansas. Miami has talent...

    Need some help re: Jim Boeheim

    Kentucky Kansas UNC Duke Indiana UCLA Louisville Michigan State Uconn Syracuse. Definitely would be #10 and no higher, and you can debate switching them out with Villanova, Georgetown, and a couple of others but they are absolutely in that conversation and it's comical to think otherwise. Look...

    Need some help re: Jim Boeheim

    Solid coach. Built Syracuse from the ground into a top 10 program and if it weren't for him they would probably be in some no name conference. I love his accomplishments and will defend that all day He is definitely a bit of a sour puss when things go south and comes off as a cranky old man...

    LaVar Ball says he would have killed MJ in 1 on 1 back in the day

    I don't see a rush by anyone to buy "Big Baller Brand" merchandise. Hopefully it doesn't take off. If ball gets to the league and plays like Curry, Kobe, Wall, etc then yea sure people will buy in but if he is an average player it'll look silly
