Re: 2018 NCAA selection

The 2nd place team in the Pac-12 did not get in and the 9th place team in the Pac 12 is in the tournament.

One could argue that the injuries to Shake and Foster kept not only SMU but also USC out of the NCAA tournament.

For the Trojans, the SMU loss went from a "good" loss to a "bad" loss. That ...

Re: Official: SMU vs. UCONN Thread

Thought I would just bump this thread rather than starting a new one...for the women who once again were crushed by a dominant UConn team yesterday. Tough way for the seniors to go out as they were outscored 32-1 in 2nd quarter when this one got completely out of control. Question is whether 5 or 6 ...

It was actually worse than that. The run from the middle of the first quarter, until halftime, was 45-1. The 1 point was a free throw with 15 seconds left in the first half. No field goals for more than 15 minutes. At the point that we got our free throw, their run was 43-0.

Re: Who's our DC Coach, nowm

June benched his upperclassman because the other players refused to play with a player they felt cost their prior coach his job when he had a fight and couldn't travel to UTEP, a win that would have given Bennett another year. And in particular because he had a catfight with his male lover.

After ...

Re: VIDEO: Mays, Adams after WBB knocks off Nicholls

Why no mention of Alicia Froling? I must have missed something because she didn't play in this game. Still on the roster? Hurt? Somebody who follows the women's program know?

Alicia tore cartilage in her knee a couple of weeks ago, they kept it very quiet, until now. I didnt know until I got to ...

Re: Top the List of Players We Hope Withdraw from draft

Fair enough, but coming back to school wont change the "Tweener status", or make him any younger. If age is an issue, he's better off taking his chances this year.

Re: Transfer market

Good weather today for hosting someone from Canada, sunny and warm, but not too hot. Still kind of chilly and grey up in that area.

Re: Maryland president: Would expect shutdown of UNC

How were they to know the whole "class optional" thing would be an issue for anyone?

Its even more alarming that Louisville isn't shut down. Basically running a prostitution ring for your players is about as slimy as it gets.

Re: Friday Night Lights-Scrimmage

so the biggest infusion of young redshirt, transfer and new talent in 30 years on the Hilltop and apparently nobody gives a damn about the first open scrimmage.

Didnt even know about it until you posted this yesterday (and thanks, by the way) I dont use twitter, and I'm not big on the other ...

Re: Transfer market

Does anyone know the rules regarding 'recruiting' transfers? Does a school have to wait until someone announces that they are transferring to be in contact? Can a school be in contact or does can the student contact them only?

If you're playing by the rules, then you are NOT supposed to solicit a ...

Re: open practice/scrimmage

All comments are based on what I saw yesterday, prior performance not withstanding.
The email I got said practice was at 4:30, I got there at 4 and it was well underway, probably started at 3:00. People who came after 4:30 didnt get to see much. Concession stands were open, though, so at least we ...

Re: FWIW

My biggest concern is lack of height. Fooling is dirk ish - not a banger, which leaves basically nobody to bang against the other teams beast. There are teams that will exploit that - we are going to have to play about as fast as anyone can play and just wear the big guys out, cause there isn't ...

I always preferred Street and Smith over Vitale, Vitale had a heavy eastern bias.
