I was thinking Dick Bennett, but his team would’ve only given up 18 on defense at half.Tennessee picked a bad day to try out the Ben Johnson offense.
And still trail by 17. Houston got out to the big lead and just really hasn't had to go into attack mode. They've hit enough 3s to counter Tennessee every time they made a run. Tennessee just dug themselves a hole they couldn't get out of against one of the best teams in the nation.Tennessee has been called for a total of 4 fouls the entire game.
We may never see another one in our lifetime it seems. SEC can get anyone in school, B1G still somewhat has academic standards.The Big Ten won 3 basketball titles between 1981 and 1989. The conference has won one in what’s looking like what will extend to the last 36 years. Amazing.

Some of it is bad luck. They've made 7 NCAA title games since MSU won in 2000 and lost them all. The Pac 12, on the other hand, hasn't won an NCAA title since 1997. But even worse, they've only made two NCAA title games in that span. Even if the conference from last year still existed, it would have been eliminated by the Sweet 16.The Big Ten won 3 basketball titles between 1981 and 1989.

Interestingly, the conference has recently flipped the script in football, winning back-to-back titles, getting more of the high end talent to even the field with the SEC. I wonder if that’s a product of NIL? And can Big Ten hoops recapture its magic, too?It doesn't seem like Big Ten schools, even the "blue bloods" like MSU, pull in the super high end talent like certain other schools (Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, UConn). Sure....they pull in good classes year after year......but some of these schools sign a couple of five stars every single year.
Yeah Houston has a tendency to force teams toTennessee picked a bad day to try out the Ben Johnson offense.
To me Holloman is a better version of Jelly Washington. Makes a ton of plays but alot of them are for the opposing team.Holloman playing like crap in the biggest games again.
I think a cogent argument could be made that us taking Jelly instead of Wright culminated with where we ended up now— with the caveat that things hopefully it look better into the future. There’s a good chance Pitino is still here had he made a better choice there and it certainly appears that he’s a better coach now than he was six or seven years ago.To me Holloman is a better version of Jelly Washington.

I agree and for as much of a tool Brad Davidson was, an argument can be had that taking Jelly and Jamir Harris over Wright and Davidson were program altering decisions for Pitino here.I think a cogent argument could be made that us taking Jelly instead of Wright culminated with where we ended up now— with the caveat that things hopefully it look better into the future.

They are suffocating aren't they??? Man they are goodYeah Houston has a tendency to force teams to![]()
Talent evaluation and roster management matter.I agree and for as much of a tool Brad Davidson was, an argument can be had that taking Jelly and Jamir Harris over Wright and Davidson were program altering decisions for Pitino here.
So you're saying there's a chance.
