Not enough people out there recognize this yet. The blue bloods aren't struggling because Covid somehow affected their teams differently. It's not a "throwaway year." The blue bloods are struggling because they have a disproportionate amount of head coaches who are fat, satisfied, old, have a title or two (or 5, Coach K.) big bloated contracts, and no incentive to reinvent themselves. Meanwhile you've got a bunch of hungry up-and-comers looking for any edge to move up. They're more than willing to study modern offenses and shift with the game.
It's a revolution within the game, and Cal's living in the Bastille. All around this tournament you can see fat cows getting eaten by hungry wolves.
Also, for clarity's sake, Cal is fat.
Dude from Loyola plays point forward like Jokic. Gonzaga bigs don’t play the way Cal or the Big 10 likes their bigs to play.
(Hey hey/ yo yo yo/ what up) #BBN this is (insert name). It’s been (an honor/ a privilege/ the dream of a lifetime) to play in front of the (best/craziest/most passionate) fans in the country this year! Y’all are the (best/craziest/most passionate *choose different adjective than prior*)! Unfortunately we didn’t (accomplish our goal/win all of them/get #9). (Insert excuse that explains short term failure but ensures long term prosperity) but still I (learned so much/worked harder than I knew was possible) and I’m so blessed for this opportunity. Shout outs to coach cal, (insert assistant who recruited you), my brothers, and the managers for pushing me to be my best every day. With that being said, I am choosing to (renounce/forego) my remaining eligibility to (pursue my dreams/step up for my family) and will be entering the NBA draft while (signing/not signing) with an agent. I can’t thank BBN enough, thanks for all the support! I can’t wait to (show you all I’ve got +/- make you proud at the next level!)

It’s been coming for awhile. College game starting to catch up with NBA. Was it rudd who quoted Hemingway the other day - “first gradually then suddenly”?
I mean- K, Self, Roy, Izzo- all these dudes are catching similar **** right now from their fans.
Thing is I don’t think you need to go completely Basketball Twitter Nerd to win big. I think some adjustments and Cal can get us back.
Tschibwe is such a freak that he can be an outlier and foundational piece. Toppin, Brooks and Hopkins can be good college 4s. Collins may be a stud.
Get some playmakers and give Allen the run he deserves.

Repent before your new overlords - the (checks notes) PAC-12.
Jones seems to be alluding to us getting Frederick, and the buzz has been there on Powell... Those two would be a damn good start.
The bigger piece is Cal either learning to coach to it or bringing in someone who knows how and letting it happen. The fact that he's pursued a lot of these type of players in the recent past and infamously struggled to use them/run them off tells me Cal knows the problem but can't coach it out of himself.
I know full well what happened at UK this year - but literally every single rival we have losing in the first weekend or not even making the tournament has been one hell of silver lining. Will be completely care free not giving a **** who wins sweet sixteen going forward, which is a rare and fun feeling.
Looks like you won’t be passing us in all time wins this year Kansas, EAD.

Couldn’t help but cash in on KU getting worked. Threw a mid-game parlay with Bama -16.5 and USC -14.5 to get +290...
I read Tucker’s latest article on Oats. He also places a major emphasis on elite defense and refuses to let the other team shoot a high % of 3’s.
The old Pitino mantra, shoot the 3 at a high clip and never give up a good amount of 3’s.
If this dude’s star continues to rise and he will only get better recruits.
He’s 46. He has plenty of prime years. Cal is 62
I know Voin has Greg Byrne on speed dial and claims he would never consider KENTUCKY but when Cal hangs it up this guy is the answer.
Hit the hay when it got to 25. lol
Now need to oust Villanova and UCLA and I’ll be completely happy.

NCAA basketball is a complete shitshow right now. They thought OAD was bad- this transfer portal is anarchy. At least, we have experience in turnover.
Seems like the brutal officiating we've experienced in the last few years and the "freedom of movement" movement put all of this in motion. It's clear who adjusted. It's more clear who just kept jamming the square peg in the round hole, I guess.
Even though teams like Kentucky *should* be in prime position to clean up with transfer restrictions, I still don't think I'm a huge fan. Maybe I'm just so tired of UK never having any roster continuity whatsoever that anything that creates incentives for roster shake-ups makes me intuitively suspicious.
If fat and happy rolls out Keon at the 3, the transfer from WVU at the 4 and Collins at the 5 whenever we tip off the season next November we’re touched. There’s no looking back.
Any father/son that gets beat 101-40 in conference tournament shouldn’t be in the convo.
I'm worried the timing is gonna be off. Oats won't be in Alabama three more seasons. Probably not even two. A blue blood is gonna get him and they're gonna crush it.
Oats is primed for KU. Surely they will realize Self sucks *** soon or he will leave for NBA.
I've been saying for a while now that the ****** officiating is a strategy by the NCAA to take away athletic advantage. All those charges on slashers add up, and make shooters more valuable.
What is up with this Fat Cal ********? The guy’s a 62 year old Italian. You guys act like he’s Mark Mangino.
Jesus- the body shaming around here. None of you are The Bonz except for The Bonz.

Which blue blood is saying adieu to their dinosaur head coach in the next couple, though?
dinosaur because old and crusty and obviously fat.

I think college basketball is kind of done in 7-10 years. It's a niche.
The only thing that saves it is that up and coming coaches have personality and can bring in interest that way. I just see it dying off outside of March Madness.

And posts - which they incredibly call offensive fouls on all the time now, too. It’s ridiculous.
For a huge part of college basketball history, freshman were ineligible and there were no athletic scholarships. I'm not advocating for a return to the 1940s, but watching true "student athletes" play in actual college venues in front of mostly college students is WAY more fun than most people realize. The pendulum swinging back in that direction would be great for the sport.
Self sucks? False.
I hate the Jayhawks, and he's had some awful flame outs, but they're right there every single year. Including last where they were the favorites going into the tourney.
Basically, you need to hit more crips- and also contest your opponent's crips.
These are the keys to victory.

With KU's embarrassing exit, it's pretty much baseball season for me. Will watch the rest of the tournament relaxed.
I mean seriously: Louisville, Duke, UNC, Kansas, Tennessee, Florida, Wisconsin, UCONN, Memphis, etc etc etc are out. I think that’s pretty much any team I’ve disliked for more than 5 minutes in the last 20 years that’s lost or didn’t make it. On the main board there is not one single trash talking thread from a rival fan. Not one. What a great year for that to happen. #blessed
He’s fat from a figurative standpoint, imo. Fat and happy instead of hungry and driven.
He's got the prototype wop gut. Is that really deniable? I also have a problem with his 1995 pant legs but I digress.
Precisely.
He has had a few chonky years though. The insult is directed to his mindset, primarily, and then to the times where he gets sloppopotamus.
