Odd not seeing a UGA or Bama defender on the list.

Odd.....and also very welcome! 
2  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Ethen Utley is a VOL! on: Today at 03:59:34 AM
Excellent get.  182nd overall player in the country is good, even allowing that recruiting rankings are not perfect, but he also has a very impressive offer list.

So glad we have Garner...pay the man whatever he wants.

In addition to winning and advancing, they will knock out one of my teams in the Final Four.

What?  You didn't pick them to beat Arizona? (or a previous team).  Shocked. I am shocked!

We should have beaten USC jr in the SEC tourney.  I hated to see how hard Kellie took that. I really like her and want her to succeed, but if next year is the disaster we fear it may be without Jackson, a change will have to be made.

The team did improve from her earlier years, but has a long way to go.

2 East coast teams?
Good luck

I thought about it some more the other day....Gonzoga is on the West Coast, so its for that game.  In which case, why not make that the late game????


Long story short...CBS anticipates more $$$ from accommodating Purdue Gonzaga than UT Creighton. 

In fairness, although they are known to sometimes be good at bball, Creighton is hardly a household name, and our bball success, although recently we have done well, has not been consistent over time.

I'm sad that Indiana is not in the top 10.  They have 5 NCs, and were briefly tied with Kentucky in the 90s for second most after UCLA.  But since then, UNC, Kansas, and UConn have all won a lot of NCs, and UK has won 3 more, while IU has won zero.  I guess technically they were no. 11 from the way the article was written, but I grew up rooting for them when Knight was their coach, and they have not been the same since.

No real Cinderellas left in the tourney now.

NC State qualifies
8  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Tip Friday around 10:30 or so on: March 26, 2024, 06:32:24 EDT
Is the goal to tank ratings?

I read that they are trying to get more West Coast types to watch,  FWIW.

Jackson saved Kellies job for another year by coming back. She missed 8 games early due to injury and we looked like crap....but won enough to save Kellies job when she came back. Stop and think what we would have looked like this year without Jackson. Ugly.

I was thinking it will be ugly without her next year

Just as importantly, since the 3 point shot has only been around about 40 years, this type of game only happens about once or twice every tournament between all 63 games. It was truly a historically bad shooting performance. Surely it couldn?t happen to Tennessee twice in one tournament!

 
11  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I know nothing about Oregon or Creighton on: March 24, 2024, 05:59:17 EDT
Rooting for Oregon, but whoever it is, WWFDT 
12  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: That game looked awfully familiar on: March 24, 2024, 05:58:44 EDT
We have those stinkers every NCAA tournament.....only we lose them.

100%

But we survived this one!   
13  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: What the hell was that???. on: March 24, 2024, 05:57:33 EDT
I wasn't nervous at all until about the 8 minute mark of the second half.  Then it was incredibly nerve wracking  

On pins and needles...but the good thing is, I've felt that cold sense of dread before and we lost. I felt like it was heading that way tonight, but we pulled it out.  

I agree with what someone said below somewhere....this was our flop game, and we survived it.  

I hope
14  Sports / VTTW Message Board / So next practice is 100% shooting threes? on: March 24, 2024, 05:25:02 EDT
 
15  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Z played all 40 minutes tonight on: March 24, 2024, 05:24:40 EDT
Rick  apparently asked him if he wanted to come out for a blow
Response was a look that lowered the arena temp about 30 degrees

love it!

 
16  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Sweet 16 baby! on: March 24, 2024, 05:14:56 EDT
Atrocious 3 point shooting, but we made two in a row at the end when it mattered.

18  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Apparently, there is no rule against WALKING anymore on: March 23, 2024, 12:41:51 EDT
So much of it is arbitrary now. I hate it.

The charge call has now become another to add to the list. DJ literally forcibly backs folks up 2 or 3 feet at a time by knocking them off their spot, yet a defender cannot even make glancing contact on an offensive player. The game has become completely about offense.

As a former coach, I also hate the replay rule inside of 2 minutes of each half. You teach kids that every play matters, yet with this rule it seems that the plays at the end matter much more. If they miss a call with 2:01 left in the half, it isn?t important enough to review. I would much prefer that they give a coach 2 replay reviews per half than to keep what they now use.

I could go on, but I will get off my soapbox now. Sorry for the rant.

You meant DK, right?
19  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Ignore the shouting and banging, pretty good analysis on: March 23, 2024, 12:38:09 EDT
That was enjoyable 
20  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Apparently, there is no rule against WALKING anymore on: March 22, 2024, 06:12:21 EDT
Typo, so sue me 
   
21  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: LOL at Kentucky!* on: March 22, 2024, 06:09:16 EDT
Cal has a 34 million buyout I read.....The whole state of KY isn't worth 34 million. 

Less than the $78 million that dumbo fisher got, but still no. 2 on the alltime list (the current Senator for Alabama got $22 million from Auburn  )
22  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Apparently, there is no rule against WALKING anymore on: March 22, 2024, 06:07:48 EDT
No 2 seconds in the lane!

I am zero.  I didn't enter this year.   

Hate to miss it, but work is crazy busy

Cal throwing his players under the bus, then backing up

https://x.com/kyletheboone/status/1770995606334394532?s=20

He might as well.  They won't be around anyway.   

Still...."we did everything we could".

If he did everything he could, then he flat sucks as a coach.

Oh wait.  He DOES!
