Curious about the thought process of everybody here. You have to make a choice of 2 players. I know we don’t want to HAVE to pick one or the other but, I’d love to know who most folks on this board would choose. An absolute stud who is capable of carrying a team to a Final 4, who is only here...

Did not know that it went into double-overtime. Agreed, that's not an outlandish score for 2 OT.

What's really fun and educational is those rare times that you get to sit in on the coaches/players film sessions on these things. At least they're rare for me, (once or twice in my life) but man you sure get an idea of what a coach is looking for and what it's supposed to look like on the...

Hmm. If the score was really in the 80's, I guess there is still plenty of defensive work to do. Obviously, K-State is projected to be really good, but I'm thinking that Dawn P's defensive goal is to be able to keep teams somewhere in the 60's for most of their games.

One of the earlier comments mentioned tiring K-State out, which might indicate the ability to control the tempo of the game. Often, controlling the tempo is directly connected to how well you play defense, which allows you to play as quickly or slowly as you choose during the course of a game...

Wasn't it more like Taylor had been staying in the backfield most of the game to pick up a blitzing linebacker, and on that final play, UCLA surprisingly dropped the LB into coverage in the middle of the field? When Taylor moved to the spot where he expected that linebacker to be coming from...

I don't remember her name, but I thought the female play-by-play was starting to show a lot of promise by the end of the season. There was a guy doing color that I wasn't as fond of. Felt like he was used to commenting on stuff like rhythmic gymnastics or synchronized swimming. Cringed every...

Waiting for the first case of a basketball PROGRAM playing for 3 (or 4) different conferences in 4 years.

I know this is a random example and could honestly be more of the exception as opposed to the rule, but do you guys remember Sam Freeman. Back-up post for a couple of seasons with the Gophers? About 6'10 or so. I remember being frustrated watching him, in that I think we saw flashes from time...

I try to follow the Gophers hoops teams as closely as I can from out here in California. Is it a little disappointing when they lose a game or don’t get the recruits we’d like? Yes. But I also realize that whether my team, (which I have no influence or effect on, wins or loses) it has no affect...

I was wondering as well. Seems like more than a year since I've seen a post from him. Didn't always agree with his takes, but always felt he had very reasonable opinions and thoughts on the program and College Basketball in general.

Thanks! I've heard that called Kills, Turkeys and probably a couple of other names over the years.. Guess there are many terms for that.

OK. So I know I've heard the term before, but this morning I am drawing a complete blank. Driving me nuts. What is the basketball TKO that she is talking about

Sounds about like 90% of the sports fans I know. We're either great or we suck worse than ever! We sports fans are the ultimate in the realm of Knee-Jerk reactions.

I'll be sure to warn him that I have 4 pretty good moves that nobody has really been able to stop effectively. Traveling, Charging, Flopping and Hacking. And to be honest, I'm pretty dang good at Air Balls too. So yeah, don't get too overconfident watching me warm up! Actually,, I don't...

I have never understood why people feel compelled to make season predictions before practices even start. So many variables, so many unknowns. Players X,Y, and Z could suddenly jell, have career seasons and the team plays exactly as the coach envisioned. Or those players could all get injured...

Cool! I'm a 68 year old hoops lover with a fake knee and hip, and I live in California. But I'm on vacation next week. Do I need an invite or can I just show up with my rusty jump shot? :)

Her style is kind of a "hanging with my buds, chillin'. Lots of nicknames, with inside joke style comments, not much expanding on a thought and, while not really mumbling, not much focus on speaking clearly". Kind of typical for what that age group sounds like when hanging out with friends...

I would agree. I've seen so many instances where a wing or 4 gets switched off and ends up in the paint against a shorter guard. Seems like half the time, especially when the shorter guard is strong with his legs and hips, ends up forcing a tough shot because they got low and strong and upset...

I always laugh at people who complain about refs, with-out fully understanding everything they have to pay attention to on the court. Among them, there is some type of foul or violation on pretty much every single trip down the floor, so which do I call and which do I let go, knowing that the...
