The MSU poster is the one that brought up no coaches having bad luck like Izzo. Maybe give him a little blame instead of the people (well, person, considering you’re cool with the Duke/MSU pissing match apparently) responding.
This is nonsense. 2010 Duke was a really good team. One of the better teams this decade. Michigan state was a 5 seed. Michigan state was lucky to finish the season in the Final Four.
And you can’t just say “we would’ve won it all” when your team didn’t. I could easily say KU would’ve won it all in 2003 if they had Wayne Simien, Joel Embiid in 2014, a healthy Josh Selby in 2011, a healthy Perry Ellis in 2015, a healthy Udoka Azubuike in 2017, 2018 and 2019. But it doesn’t work that way.
Bill Walton the GOAT has the homeboard triggered beyond belief
Yes I should have said ‘ruined solid chances to win the title’. Anyways this thread got off track. Still pissed about the laid egg vs VT
so talented but literally don’t know how to play with each other (or play defense). Hope they get it turned around so that we get a unearned bump in the analytics.
Yeah, I feel like his best bet is to try to become Caleb Swanigan and even then, he just snuck into the back end of the first round and is stuck on the end of a bench. And that was with Biggie becoming a first team AA and shooting 45% from three his last year.
I think Tillman can be a better defender than Biggie but I'm not sure he can elevate his game to be effective in the NBA without perimeter skills.
Crean is an Izzo disciple which makes it even more mystifying he isn’t a good defensive coach
Crean tries way too hard to be innovative. Its why he was given the nickname Tommy Naismith.
He overthinks everything. The stories that have come out about him during his time at IU are ridiculous.
Tom Crean refusing to wear a Hawaiian shirt is so on brand.
Also this Anthony Edwards guy is pretty good.
Also this Anthony Edwards guy is pretty good.
A poster on Phog claims that their PG is Steve Nash-like and creates as well as any PG in the country. And that they have several great shooters.
I was prepared for KU to get carved up with surgical precision.
seriously greatest pass i've seen in years. bouce pass that long GTfO
yeah. We should drop to around 20 and if we lose this go unranked
Agreed. I feel worse about the UK win now. After Evansville beat em I said “well it was a fluke because they beat a good MSU team”. Nope.
I don’t know if I’d go that far, but some years you guys just have a slow start.
I wonder if all the Georgia fans will come here crying about MSU shooting 47% from three.
There’s a difference between getting good looks and then hitting threes like Edwards or maxey have.
VT yesterday got good looks for the most part and hit their shots. Kudos to them. Nolley ran an amazing curl to shake Henry who’s a good defender with under a minute to go
