#1 UNC struggles to find the groove in first game of season at home vs. UNC-Wilmington. Wins 69-56.

#14 TCU were dominated most of the game at home by Arkansas-Pine Bluff until hitting a clutch 3 pointer with 51 seconds to escape with a 1 pt victory. APB had 16 point lead with a few minutes left in half and go into halftime up by 11.

As for last year... I hate to say it but Thiam wasn't worth 1 minute a game. He was a gamble that didn't pay off and we are fortunate that he saw the writing on the wall and transferred down to where he will get some minutes. Betts is unlikely to play this year unless we have additional...

If WI and KY can put together the pieces to win, there is no reason the Gophers cannot.

Look at the Gopher men's hockey team a decade or so ago... top recruits after top recruits but they oftentimes didn't play with the grit necessary to win... as a team. One of the reasons that Motzko was hired as he was doing so much with 'lesser' talent at SCSU. A group of superstars can be a...

Isaac Asuma plays the position of the greatest need so I have to presume he is the top priority if Freitag is, indeed, no longer being pursued fully. Possible future pipeline at Cherry if brother and cousin develop. I have to also presume that Johnson also has some other prospects in his sights.

They've given the requisite effort to attract their state's highest rated recruits (who would have helped improve their brand) but haven't put all of their eggs in that basket. They HAVE been very selective in terms of which WI preps they've pursued... there are numerous decent players in state...

The BADgers didn’t throw $$$ around to find the flavor of the day. They found coaches in Dick and Bo with local ties who knew how to win and how to recruit to their system. The system placed an emphasis on recruiting to fit the system vs chasing 4 and 5 star players who only aspired to getting...

Shut the program down… the fan base can’t take any more adversity!

Let the hand-wringing begin!

EJ Walker is a 6-8 prospect out of Kentucky. Has been offered by WVU, Purdue, and some mid majors at this point.

Very well stated.

I beg to differ. Fit matters. Some of the players you list fit UW's system perfectly but not what the Gophers were running at the time. The debate about what led to the varying success of the two programs is a whole different discussion. WI has done a good job of identifying and sticking to a...

I get that the Lakeview North history is troubling but we have a coach just starting their second year. Let's let him get some games under his belt and see if LN preps continue to drift east. Johnson was hired for his relationship building. Johnson clearly lost the battle for Winter after an...

Time to break that streak! It won’t be enough for some fans but I hope to see progress leading to an above .500 team this season. Building a solid foundation is key to sustained future success. I would rather build a team that is consistently in the top half of the conference and makes...

Mannequins and TRex were kinda clever- the first being technically 100% accurate!

I'm having a hard time holding back the laughter as half of the posters in this thread would have fired Fleck on Saturday if they were the AD. I'd laugh even harder if I saw the list of sure-fire names that would realistically accept this job after firing one of the best leaders we've seen in...

Matt Houk was head coach at USD for 6 years. I don't have enough ins in the volleyball community to know how well regarded Matt is but Hugh thought highly enough of him to make him associate head coach for the last 3 years.

We need to start the season soon so posters can at least steer their negativity towards actual game play versus conjecture based on limited knowledge of how players will/will not adjust to Power 5 college bball.

I hear you but you also want recruits who feel that they can be a difference maker. Players know that 1 player can change the fortunes of a basketball program. You want players who have the confidence that says that they can make that kind of impact. You want leaders and not followers.
