One of the best to ever do it here. In this era of the transfer portal, he stood firm. He will never be forgotten. 🫡

You are right. The games are won on the court and not paper. I'm curious to see how Oates keep everyone happy. On another note, I see where Kansas spent $4M in NIL money.  

Yeah, they loaded up in the portal and kept some of their main guys. I hate Kansas so I hope they lose just about every game they play. I don't know how Bill Self is going to manage that roster minute wise.

I’ve gotta think that if BP were willing to drop-kick KDJ to improve the roster, he would have done the same with CM had there been a better option out there to replace him? I think CM is kinda like a Horace Spencer effort and glue guy. 

Nah. Bruce could go get a better option over CM but he's a good teammate and loyal to Auburn. I suspect him to split time with Jahki Howard.

At UK, CBP would have a team that CBM couldn't make, except maybe as a walk-on.

That stokes the flames, and increases the pressure.  And CBP revels in pressure.

I'm worried.  Until I hear that someone other than CBP has been hired at UK, I'm worried.

LOL, what?!

Well, maybe he has enjoyed a growth spurt. But in his own words, “I’m a short guard who can get to the rim and finish above the rim,” Pettiford told On3.

Um, Aden figured the same. So did Wendell. That was not SEC play.

I'm not negging on Pettiford. I have high hopes that he can become an offensive force. Aden certainly wasn't that. TD was more stable as a PG than Aden. Maybe Holloway would have developed over the next 2-3 years, but he was certainly not the 5 star outside threat or solid PG that we needed last year. Good luck to him going forward.

I'm hoping Tahaad can step in and be the PG/CG we need for next season.

 

No. Aden and Wendell aren't even in the same stratosphere as Tahaad when it comes to athleticism and ability to score and get to the rim and actually finish. Aden was never that player. He's supposed to be the sharpshooter. I give Wendell credit for being pretty fearless and getting into the lane but those two are not Tahaad. 

Like Hurley said, "We recruit NBA players...". Let's see what BP does this off season...

This is how we'd put teams away at Home...they've done it to every single team. That's wild. I think that's how it was last year too, wasn't it?

Going from bamas perimeter transition offense to Purdue’s bully ball  beat you death style in 2 days is a real challenge in flexibility. 

UConn plays fast....not as much in transition than bama but they wearing Purdue out. 

Damn!!

Lol, Charles Barkley is hilarious, 🤣

This is beautiful basketball.  These teams are playing well, their games are built around big men, and it's fun to watch.  They have excellent perimeter play as well.

These 2 teams spent over half the year combined being ranked #1.  And they are bringing it so far tonight.

Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. I was just thinking "There's no way we would hang with either of these teams..." but man I would have loved to get the chance!

Clingan is GASSED. Holy Hell.

Clingan not forcing anything, biding his time.

Reminds me of the game between Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing back in the 1980s.  It was a regular season game over 40 years ago, but I remember that Sampson had 23 points, and Ewing had 16.

Man, I can't remember the last time I saw a battle of the giants like this in college ball. Reminds me of the 90's/early 2000's NBA.

I'm not gonna go back and forth. Not worth it. The other poster basically accused me of being racist when I didn't mention every group in the faction. You laugh emojied his post., which I guess means u agreed with him. It's ridiculous. The other poster accused me of saying it was only Black people throwing shade. Never said or inferred it.  Him saying that to me is kinda ironic... Since I'm BLACK!!!  LOL

Not it is not. I've been black my whole life last time I checked and we can say some ignorant things so you're not absolved, LOL. I didn't accuse you of anything. We're all grown here, no need to be coy about "what faction" it was that was criticizing her but you made it all cryptic for no reason whatsoever. If it was really about the WNBA players like you say it is, then that should just be said. I'm not really understanding why you needed to make it a secret.

Bruce Pearl also being mentioned.

Are the Steven Pearl folks going to want him to stay and take over? 🤣

If u have a instagram or facebook account and read some comments. There is plenty . Maybe hate is too strong. I will say dislike and wasn’t beloved by all. I think she will do well in the WNBA. 

Oh I saw it. I also saw people in the comments calling SC a bunch of "men" and "beasts". Same thing with LSU except it was "ghetto" and "classless". Clark has been the most beloved women's player in a very long time and hate wouldn't be the word I'd use for her critics. She shoots extremely well but plays zero defense. She's a volume shooter who needs like 20+ shots a game to be at her best. I don't see her getting up that many shots in the WNBA but she will be great to watch to see what happens with her game. The women in the WNBA are licking their chops to silence all of that noise. It happens when you're quote on quote the "best player". It's mostly competitiveness and less hate I feel like though.

Hint... You won't have to look hard or far.

Inquiring minds would love to hear. We're listening... Since I'm not afraid to say it, are you saying BLACK people hated on her?

I don’t get all the hate she gets. She is a great player but she needs others to contribute. Wilt scored at will and still couldn’t win it by himself 

Hate? She's like the most beloved player to play, like ever. Lol. Media rode her like a dawg the past two years too. It'll be interesting to see how she does in the WNBA though. More people will be watching, that's for sure. 

Wow.

Turds getting some rough calls from the zebras. We dealt with that all season long and untimely in the First round so I don't feel bad. 🤣

Wow, you don't call that foul as a ref at the end of the game like that...

Iowa wasn't a one seed for nothing.  I think UConn is going down.  Bueckers > Clark tonight.

Just a guess.

No way they win without Clark scoring at least 30 points. 

SC ran some good offense! Have a whole team of scorers. I think whoever makes it to them in the Championship game will have a problem on their hands. 

Looking forward to watching this next one though! I'm thinking UConn comes out with the W.

Me too, and that's why I was so surprised to hear Bruce say the team looked tired against Yale.

Go figure... must have been the flight out West....or the 3 games played in the SEC Tournament. 🙃

Wondering when will wades name would start popping up again. Dude had some talented team at LSU. Have to wonder if he can still pull that off in NIL era where everyone can pay guys. 
 

Chris beard…I’d feel for ol miss fans if that happened. I don’t think it likely unless arky pays their coaches a lot more than ol miss. But they do love their basketball at arky so they might

I mean, he literally had McNeese State at 30-4 this season. That's hard to do in any conference. I'm sure he would be fine.. 😂
