Feast week - Maui & Vegas game thread

I've watched Hurley coach since his Rhode Island days. He is nowhere near as prickly and arrogant as Bobby Knight while being just as good a coach. He's a relentless recruiter. As good as Jim Calhoun without the taint of sketchiness. If all you ever saw of him was his sideline antics, I could see why you would think he was nuts. I'd put him in the Gene Keady style of sideline coaching while being a better coach. Kids love the guy and play really hard for him.

What about Jim Calhoun's stretchy taint?

I'm not ready to call Hurley a great or excellent coach. The back to back titles are great, but the 12 years before that, he didn't do squat in the tournament and his win/loss % is not anything special either. I'll see what the next 5 years holds for him before labeling as a great.
 
Auburn better clamp down on defense if they want to chip away at that lead. Good lawwwwd, ISU was making everything they threw at the rim.
 
I think I was the only one to pick UNC to win the Maui.

I thought Auburn was sposed to be good. They got 39 frickin points.
If this continues, I expect to read that a single engine plane took off from Auburn Airport in a nonstop flight to Madagascar with a lone passenger wearing a parachute. Auburn will be ill represented for a while on here.
 
You must have got on them late. I got them yesterday at FD for -1.5, and then grabbed them again at +8.5 starting the second half.
It was earlier tonight. 4 leg parlay: Ravens -3, Xavier -5, Auburn -3.5, Dayton +8.5. Since the bet is already over I hope UNC smashes Dayton. If Dayton covers it will sting more.
