    Benny Williams transferring to UCF

    I always hope that kids do well whether they stay here or go elsewhere and I never take the actions of a family member out on the kid. I hope Benny does really well at UCF. I will say that JB had nothing to do with Benny's struggles this past season as JB was no longer in the picture.

    UConn's coaching staff ... how it works...

    Thought the same thing at halftime. They shot 3-12 in the second half and lost by 14. Needed to shoot 8-12...highly improbable.

    Happy Anniversary!

    So, I guess if the Pitinos, the Boeheims and 'Bees all sit down to discuss their dream places to live.. Everyone else says Paris, Hawaii or Bora Bora. JB says Syracuse and 'Bees says Baldwinsville?

    UConn's coaching staff ... how it works...

    Thank you for sharing. Great read. During Hurley's halftime interview, I remember thinking to myself, "Hurley thinks the game's over", based on his body language, tone of voice, what he said etc... Thought it was a rather arrogant. In fact, game played out exactly as that coaching staff...

    Happy Anniversary!

    Well, I've got you beat. Never saw this until you pointed it out AND been on the board 2+ decades and it took the Gosling thread to make me realize that, in RRLBees, the "Bees" part indicates an affiliation to Baldwinsville... For some strange reason I like to try and figure out the meaning...

    OT: hypothetical question that I heard on a podcast

    Pretty arrogant and condescending response. Buddy Boeheim and Andy Rautins are end of the roster players. Neither is leading a 16 seed to the national championship.

    Steph Curry got Davidson to elite eight. Would Steph, in his prime at GS, have been able to take them farther?

    If we don’t make the tournament next yr, is Red gone?

    True but the other side of that coin is that they didn't have to worry about rebuilding the roster every year. If Wildhack was only going to give him two or three years, he never should have hired him. If anything, the fact that those guys had success and Red hasn't means that Red should get a...

    Three others that are perhaps a bit more obscure: Bouie, with four fouls, denying Joe Barry Carroll at the rim late in the 1980 game at Purdue. Orr front rimming a 30 footer to send the first last game at Manley into OT. McCarty tip in of a missed shot at 64-62 in the 1996 final

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Great. So you were happy seeing a guy who was shooting 27% from the floor in conference play in Jan-Feb (13-45) coming into Georgia Tech, take 7 shots and go 1-7? Well, you should have been ecstatic then cause the kid took more shots per 40 minutes on Saturday than anyone else on the team...

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    This is what you wrote, "I was actually glad to see him try take some shots rather than passing on everything" If you were not happy seeing him take all those shots, then don't write it. I was not happy with it. His misses were not close and are just wasted offensive possessions at this point.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    I don't know that he was "encouraged" to keep shooting but he certainly was not discouraged. And you may have been happy to see him shoot and miss but we lost by 5. Maybe if we take some better shots, we win? Not to mention that if we don't take all those 0-11 from 3 from guys shooting 3s in...

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Took only 2 of his 7 shots early in the game. Missed them both. Missed 2 3s late in first half and took 3 shots in the second half. Went 1-3. So you are not remembering correctly.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Honestly, what Gtech has done in conference this year is crazy. Prior to beating us on Saturday, they were 3-11 with their 3 wins coming against Duke, Carolina and Clemson (on the road no less) and 0-11 against everyone else.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    We take a lot of bad shots. Q, MIntz, Taylor and Cuffe were a combined 0-11 from 3. MIntz is shooting 5-23 (21.8%) from 3 in conference play in Jan-Feb; Taylor is 5-26 (19.2%); Q is 3-13 (23.1%) and Cuffe is 2-8 (25%). Combined they are 15-70 (21.4%). Even wide open 3s are bad shots for them...

    Taylor took more shots per 40 minutes than anyone on the team on Saturday. We were 4 on 5 on offense because they were not guarding him and he was still 1-7.

    Red Season 1 Now a Bust

    Unless Red proves to be an abject disaster, a la Matt Doherty, which it certainly doesn't appear like he is, 5 should be the minimum. JW showed perhaps an overabundance of patience with Dino so I don't think he'll do a kneejerk with Red..
