I bet on the Knicks last night thinking order would be restored and they were extremely likely to cover 1.5. I figured Game 2 was a fluke. Looks like series is a coin flip at this point. I feel bad for Tim Chalamet, he deserves better than this.

What’s the 4th level down below “contributor?” Thats probably where I reside and I’m quite comfortable with it.

Call me old-fashioned, but isn't it way more fun to settle that on the field? Like in 1994, two elite undefeated teams, Penn State and Nebraska, didn't play. That is a travesty. Or in 1987, we would have been part of a theoretical playoff, but instead we were relegated to a quasi exhibition game.

I hate the idea of expanding to 24. I don’t want to ruin the sacred college football regular season by 8-4 teams making the cut. I see 12 as a sweet spot. But the system in the 1980s was terrible also. Split national champions, 1 and 2 often not being able to play each other due to Rose Bowl...

I know they haven't had any major tourney success, but St. Mary's is a rock solid program. In the past five seasons, they have been a 7/7/5/5/5 seed in the tournament, and they're in the Top 25 all the time. I'm rooting for him, but it's going to be very discouraging from our perspective if he...

Yep agreed. I was just building upon your thought.

I know Pitino is a bit of an old school hard ass, but I've never gotten the sense that he wasn't a players coach. Like you can yell at players and they can still love you. Those things aren't mutually exclusive. Tom Izzo is that way.

How does that work though? Like for instance who would conduct welfare checks to make sure potentially abused children are safe? And that's only like one of one hundred extremely important things they do while chronically overworked and underpaid.

At the end of the day, I see it as a simple cost-benefit equation. With some players, such as DeShaun Williams, Louie McCroskey or Benny Williams, their quality of play simply wasn't good enough to offset the immature baggage/toxicity that they brought to the roster. It was addition by...

What on Earth is this court in Philly? The paint looks like a urinal.

Teams always overcomplicate their uniforms. Just wear a modern-fitting version of this banger forever.

Very sorry to hear this and I hope it can be managed. Anything involving the brain just freaks me out because I feel like it's utterly random. I don't think you can diet and exercise your way into avoiding it.

They're way more efficient than traditional intersections. It keeps traffic moving at a steady pace. There is no cost or maintenance for stop lights. And most importantly, it's extremely difficult to have a fatal accident in a traffic circle due to the slow speed.

Charlotte's decision to rebrand from the Bobcats back to the original Hornets was the best idea ever. Everything about it, the color scheme, logo, uniforms, just feels more natural.

I don't understand why he wasn't ejected in real time. It was a Grayson Allen move.

If you can be President and have access to nuclear codes after having been convicted of a felony, why can't you be a referee who runs up and down a court blowing a whistle?

What an amazing amazing game. In real time I thought that was a goal tend at the very end.

Miami has a full 10 seconds to work with in a tie game and the shot attempt is an off balance three.

If UConn (which is probably the best program in college basketball right now) wants Donnie, that just reinforces my belief that SU fans who want to get rid of him have lost their minds.

I totally get that I'm being the cynical one in the thread. But the words "hopefully earn some playing time in future years" strikes me as a Symir Torrence/Howard Washington-level talent, which we need better then if we want to reverse this 12-year descent. I'll be rooting for this kid big-time...

The first 90% of your post has me feeling good. ;)

Please nobody get flustered by this question. I’ve never seen Moesch play before. His other offers were Providence, Siena, Akron and Bowling Green. I saw him described as “not a dynamic athlete.” Will he be able to dribble drive and break down a defense? A skill that other than Judah we really...

Fair enough. I can’t argue with that.

Bruh let’s not jinx us to death here. We can still absolutely lose to Pitt.

Rory McElroy has won two Masters since the New York Jets last caught an interception.

He's part of this seemingly endless line of backup Syracuse centers over the past 10-20 years (Devin Brennan-McBride, Sean Williams, DeShonte Riley, Chinonso Obokoh, Peter Carey, etc.) that looks like they never played basketball for one second before stepping foot on the SU campus. Sorry, I...

The Pistons won 14 games two years ago and just won their 60th game today. Unbelievable turnaround. Per SRS, 2024 was their worst season in franchise history, and this regular season was their best ever. https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/DET/

Love this action shot from the Virginia spring game.

We were there with my kids and parents (last week). It was the first time out of the country except for Canada for all of them. My kids favorite restaurant in Italy was the McDonalds near Trevi Fountain. I wish I was joking. We're major foodies so I appreciate that recommendation. We went to...

Place is falling apart. No luxury suites. If you’re hungry you have to pray your wife has a granola bar in her purse. One restroom. Rome really needs replace this place. It’s almost as bad as Jacksonville’s stadium.

They should have Snoop Dogg join him like during Olympic coverage.

Joker is just like MJ from the late 80s to the late 90s and Lebron from the late 2000s to the late 2010s. He's the best player in the league and should be MVP every year, but voters want to mix it up. He leads the league in PER, VORP, BPM. 8th in scoring, 1st in rebounds, 1st in assists. He has...

His free throw shooting woes are entirely mental. His shooting form is fine. If he starts the year by consistently making free throws, I honestly think this could lead to a snowball effect that increases his overall confidence and productivity.

As much as I hate UConn I always like to see the sport of college basketball in a healthy place.

Alex Karaban has more NCAA Tournament wins (18) than Providence does all-time (17).

I want to see a more mature Sadiq next year. I assume he will start. No BS with talking trash and getting technicals. Be tough but be composed (like GMac was as a player). We should have enough shooters. I don't mind him taking the occasional jumper, but I would really like to see him put on...

Obviously making the tourney is of paramount importance, but another thing that is extremely important to me is to STOP GETTING BLOWN OUT. It's humiliating how many times under Red I literally would turn the game off mid-second half because it wasn't worth watching anymore. I obviously don't...

If I ever need a nice hug, I’m going to ask Croatia.

That hat is fine. Nowhere close to being as hideous as the things in this thread.

Off the top of my head, I'm trying to think of anyone who has taken two different teams to the Final Four in one three year span (Florida Atlantic and Michigan) and no one is coming to mind.

But isn't that entirely how it works now?

I've never seen a turnaround like this in college basketball. Juwan Howard has to feel like a bit of a schmuck attending the games in Indy. 8-24 to 37-3 in a span of 24 months. Michigan two years ago was decidedly worse than our Lampkin/Carlos team.

I thought he deserved at least a shot to earn a few minutes this past season. I mean it's not like the rest of the roster was doing anything awe-inspiring.

A team nobody is talking about right now that is on absolute fire is Atlanta. They have won 18 out of their last 20 games. They were four games below .500 when they traded Trae Young. Now they’re 12 games above .500.

I watched it on our flight home from Rome yesterday. What an incredibly beautiful movie. 10/10. I’ve been recommending it to everyone. I was going to follow it up by watching Sentimental Value but just didn’t have it in me to read two hours of subtitles so decided to play Angry Birds instead.

I know the NBA regular season can be dull, but the playoffs this year are going to be great. A Thunder/Spurs Western Conference Finals will be as good as basketball gets on Earth.

It's just hard to believe that UConn is on the verge of it's 5th title since the 6OT game. The 2014 one with Shabazz Napier as a 7 seed is the one that annoys me the most -- especially since we started 25-0 that season. Can't argue with any of the rest. 1999, 2004 and 2024 were genuinely great...

Bears. Billboards. Battlestar Galactica.

I know he had his limitations, but if Nait had a legitimate shooting guard as his backcourt mate I think he could have potentially worked out here. I would been OK keeping him as the first guard off the bench for a lot less money. But I’m sure he wants to start somewhere and get paid.

Similar to Kyle, he kind of plateaued in November/December and then I felt like he regressed. He simply couldn’t do anything except shoot when wide open. I wish Betsey absolutely nothing but the best but I’m not sad about it.
