Boy, that's easier said than done. I can't remember the last time I watched anyone remotely like him.

It seemed like if you were not in UConn or Purdue's bracket, you had a shot. Houston got taken to OT by A&M, who was better than their seeding but that was with Shead.
that's ^^^ a very odd, might i say, lame take.
Michael William Krzyzewski served as the head coach at Duke University from 1980 to 2022, during which he led the Blue Devils to five national titles, 13 Final Fours, 15 ACC tournament championships, and 13 ACC regular season titles.
That's another advantage to him not running down the court 25% of the time, you can't get called for a foul if no other player is within 50ft of you.
Or can you?
The vibration from Burns walking down the court will make Flopper Loyer fall down.
That guy is worse than Brad Davison. Yesterday Loyer got brushed by Tennessee's little point guard and he threw himself to the floor like Dick Van Dyke taking a dive over his living room ottoman.
Tennessee did found Edey a lot. Mostly by trying to hold his arms back. He was just too big, nothing else Tennessee D could do.
I think Burns Jr can hold his own against Edey. The only problem is that he'll probably get too gassed having to play that hard all game.
Some of those absolutely should've been no-calls. I don't envy trying to officiate his games, he's such a freak that it distorts everything.
I don't blame you, I've never been that interested in sports that don't involve my rooting interests. I don't spend all my fall Saturdays watching college football, love Royals/Huskers baseball - not that interested in Dodgers/Giants etc. I need that tie in. I just happened to be stuck in a recliner all day yesterday with the flu so I watched basketball - and fell in love with DJ Burns. So now I've got a rooting interest.
DJ couldn’t even play with Kalkbrenner last year. Clingan vs Eddy will be interesting.
Did that include the "Everyone has to kiss my *** for an entire season and give me gifts since I am retiring" line?
i have no idea what you're referring to. it's common for great ones to do a final circuit run. i remember watching bob knight giving fred taylor a fishing pole at assembly hall. i think he gave him a rocking chair as well. knight kissed no one's ***.

There was 2 (maybe 3) that were questionable. Stop grabbing him in the arm when he has position
Edey kind of reminds me of when you have a really tall kid at a small high school division. No one knows what to do so they just hang on him and hope for the best.
This is funny. I knew a kid and I forget the small HS he played basketball for but he was telling me that when they would play their rival who loved to get out and run that they would put new nets up, so the ball would take a little bit longer to slide through the net and they could get back on defense.
Edey gets fouled a ton. He’s 7’4”, a bit awkward and the offense runs through him. I’m a conspiracy theorist <gasp> and see no conspiracy here. Hope to see a UConn v PU final
Agree. There are a number of factors at play, one of them being a generation of bigs that want to play at the 3 point line and aren't used to physical, down low basketball. Much different blocking shots with some guard driving to he basket compared to establishing and maintaining position on a guy 3 or 4 inches taller and 60+ pounds heavier.
What I saw alot this tournament is 6'9 guys hanging on his arms trying to deny him the ball, knowing that if he got the ball it was an easy 2.
I don't get this "hanging on his arms" angle. Watch all of the fouls in the post above. There's maybe one of them that involved any grabbing of an arm. So, whether you agree or disagree that he got too many fouls in his favor, the hanging on the arms had little or nothing to do with it. Every possession involves post players fighting for position and the arms are always part of it. When you've got a guy with an 8 foot wingspan (yes, really) you HAVE to fight through his arms for position.
UConn may get its entire starting 5 drafted and has a coach that runs an offense only contained by a poor shooting effort. And theyre currently a top defense as well
They may have the most dominant run in quite a while. I don’t see any team staying within 15 points of them.
And I just cursed them

I’m a Purdue grad and a UConn fan (from out east). I’m happy either way, I just believe UConn is a far superior team and Clingan will match up very well with Edey
