    Gonzaga to the Pac 12 for basketball only. Why not?

    Gonzaga other sports... I would think no one really gives a crap where they end up. I haven’t heard the word Gonzaga in a context other than basketball in my entire life. Gonzaga 20 years from now... anything can happen, but they have a track record that runs 20+ years right now, I think it’s...

    Texas Tech to hire Mark Adams as new HC.

    Scratch my previous comment. He has now gone from community college ball, to unknown assistant, to architect of a great defense, to the actual tactician for the Beard era, to now simply the greatest coach ever known in basketball. Yes this thread will be revisited in a couple years one way or...

    Texas Tech to hire Mark Adams as new HC.

    Love how Adams has gone from community college ball, to unknown assistant, to architect of a great defense, to now the actual tactician implementing halftime adjustments during the Beard tenure. Did Beard even work at TT?

    Texas Tech to hire Mark Adams as new HC.

    Players are emotional and will always back their guy. WVU football players hated Rich Rod and loved Bill Stewart, but the program still declined under Stewart. It’s tough to replace someone who changes the standard somewhere. As far as who I would pick (within reason), I’ll compare the...

    Texas Tech to hire Mark Adams as new HC.

    Well see, but from where I sit, it’s an emotional AD/fanbase eager to buy the narrative that a 60+ year old career D1 assistant, several years removed from his last HC gig at a lower level was responsible for the biggest off the charts rise in TT’s basketball history. There might be enough left...

    Texas Tech to hire Mark Adams as new HC.

    Jimmys and Joe’s... I don’t see this guy upholding the current standard Beard set. Defensive genius or not, you gotta get the players.

    ***Final Four Games Thread***

    Nothing makes more sense than Miley Cyrus performing at a sporting event featuring Gen Z athletes marketed to old white guy alumni.

    Do you like college basketball and the NBA?

    I like CBB better, but to go from watching mostly college kids to the NBA playoffs is like going from a mountain bike to motorcycle. The NBA skill is out of this world, but the format, personalities, fan bases just leave a lot to be desired.

    Chris Beard hired by Texas

    Told the overnight TT basketball experts 2 years ago how unlikely they were to stay on top of the mountain. My advice to fans on non traditional powers, if your school makes a Final Four... go to it, party your ass off, and embrace every moment of the lead up. It is possibly a once in a lifetime...

    Has the NBA become a joke?

    Its kind of funny how long it took for coaches to do the math on 3 pointers.

    Has the NBA become a joke?

    The Super Team approach wouldn’t bother me if there was a chance for these teams to lose. A 7 game series just makes it too tough for major upsets. You turn the playoffs into a best of 3 and it will get very interesting.

    Has the NBA become a joke?

    A Nets-Lakers final with both teams at full strength would be a great watch if you are a fan of the sport. But the average sports fan is not going to get jacked up to root for or against the Nets with Kyrie the Flat Earther who doesn’t feel like the regular season is worth his time or for the...

    Has the NBA become a joke?

    Idk if teams were gunuinely mailing it in night in and night out, you would see more parity, but the better teams do win close to 75% of the time.

    Has the NBA become a joke?

    I think it would but from the league’s perspective it is a big risk and one that they are probably not willing to take. All 4 American sports leagues print money, some more than others, but all are doing just fine. You won’t see any dramatic risks to the bottom line to appease the more engaged...

    Has the NBA become a joke?

    What harms the NBA’s marketability is that there is almost zero parity and this results in over 60% of the league constantly going into tank mode. This turns off the NFL type of fan that wants to root for a team, and not players. The way to achieve parity though would be for the NBA to cut down...

    Texas should hire Musselman

    Culver being a Lubbock native probably created an unusual advantage for TT there. If that assclown Shaka Smart can bring in lottery picks to UT, imagine what a coach that could actually do something with them could accomplish.
