What a garbage Maui field. I'm sure a handful of these teams will be significantly better than their metrics were last year, but that's somewhat underwhelming for the prized preseason tournament.

Man that’s brutal. I’m disappointed in Niko. I don’t care that it’s his first year. Thank goodness that @Mizz game fell through last year. Ben’s home schedule was a gauntlet last year compared to this trash.

Didn't they try to put a team together a few years ago, but expected fans to crowd fund them?

Ouch :sick:

What's the word on Stanford? At a glance, it appears that their best big (20/10) is playing for the Kings, and their best guard has transferred out. Not much movement otherwise, in or out. They were similar to MN last year in terms of KenPom. Santa Clara was decent last year, but appears to...

Watch how hard everyone was playing in the last minute of a decided game. :LOL: You wouldn't see that in today's game.

https://www.si.com/college/washington-state/men-s-basketball/way-too-early-wcc-men-s-basketball-power-rankings-for-2025-2026 Saw this was published a few days ago. Sounds like they have some nice pieces and could potentially challenge Gonzaga and St Mary’s in the WCC. I’ll take it at this...

I'm mostly checking this thread to see if there are any updates on Ben's career. I'm sure Ben feels slighted, so it's no surprise he hasn't said anything. In his defense, he hasn't publicly bashed the program, his circumstances, or the lack of resources, nor has he made any other excuses. I...

Another mid-December tune-up is just what this program needs!

They have unique “playlists” within that general channel for the specific teams (men’s basketball is one of them).

Michigan 2015 was pretty awful. Score the go ahead TD with 19 second left, it gets overturned (Wolitarsky knee down) and we couldn't score from the 1/2 yard line. Was at the game and surrounded by Michigan fans. Brutal.

I tuned in, caught the last few minutes. Niko is working hard to secure one more neutral game against a good opponent. It also sounds like @Missouri is happening this coming season. Assuming Niko can secure the neutral site game, the nonconference should be in a much better place than last...

I investigated this way harder than I'd like to admit (as practice #s don't match roster #s). I can say with 98% certainty it's Chansey Willis Jr. However, if it is Nemeiah Turner (#4 on the roster), he may be a bit undersized for the BIG 10. :ROFLMAO:

Niko and Ben remain close…

This. Tubby’s teams D’d up! It didn’t matter who we were playing, you knew we’d be in the game because of the way they played on the defensive side of the ball. But dang, there were some brutal losses because of stagnant offense with little movement in those crucial possessions at the end of...
