  1. Yes, Rhode Island of the A-10 was the first in December, but couldn't find others. Lot of players have missed, but few cancellations.
  2. This. I thought the first half looked like a team that could go .500 down the stretch.
  3. Have lost 5 of 7 since that tweet and are favored in only 2 of their last 9. BUT still an amazing job. Only 11 spots behind us on KenPom today.
  4. It's worth pointing out that while Johnson is having a great season, point guard Markquis Nowell is the straw that stirs the drink for KSU. He's No. 13 in Torvik player of the year rankings: https://www.barttorvik.com/poy.php He had a poor shooting game against us, but for the season he's 38% on 3s with 8 assists a game. Really fun to watch him.
  5. 10. Fans so devoted they turn a recruiting pitch into a bitch about refs.
  6. Interesting situation for Texas: Terry has them playing well, but he came to UT this year after a total flop at UTEP. The record of hiring interim coaches who did well isn't a good one. Most recent example I can think of is Wichita State, which has fallen off a cliff under the guy who succeeded Marshall.
  7. Right, it doesn't count if the ball is in the air. It has to be in possession in front court in 10 seconds.
  8. I can't remember if I knew Shang Ping was "Shang PIng" when he was playing. Seems like I thought he would still develop into something and didn't realize he was "Shang Ping" until a couple of years later.
  9. We've shot a combined 41% on 3s the last 2 games and lost by a combined 35 points. What happens if we revert to mean? Mon dieu!
  10. I looked at the first page of this thread and saw Nate Oats, Shaka Smart and TJ Otzelberger recommended to replace Miles. Pretty smart people here!
  11. Nebraska wouldn't allow a building to be named after a living person, so a bill had to be pushed through the Legislature to change it. Officially changed to Bob Devaney Sports Center in November 1978.
  12. Duke didn't suck. They played in 3 Final Fours in the '60s and the 1964 title game against UCLA. They also played in the 1978 championship game against Kentucky, but the coach left after the next year and Coach K was hired. He won 17 games and went to the NIT his first year with his predecessor's roster and had 2 losing seasons after that, so yes, he did have a losing record after 3 seasons. However, he also had an unbelievable roster with Johnny Dawkins, Jay Bilas, Mark Alarie and ... Bill Jackman. No wonder he had a long leash. The "Duke stuck with Coach K even though he had a losing record" narrative needs some context.
  13. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Nothing gets to me like football talk on this board.
  14. I voted to retain, even though he doesn't deserve to return, based on merit. It seems more damaging to the program to fire somebody who the majority of fans want to give one more year. He's getting 75%+ backing here, and we're supposed to be the hard-core fans. Imagine the percentage is even higher for the people who are less rabid. We're still arguing about Tim Miles 4 years later, and I don't want to have to listen to that with Fred if the next guy fails. Might be a stupid reason to keep Fred, but that's mine. In my free time, I'm a weather vane.
  15. I heard Saint Thomas had left the team for mental health reasons.
  16. 40 days, so like Lent. I'm not ready to give up basketball ... yet.
  17. So do the evil ones. https://twitter.com/MPattersonOWH/status/1618063923306962950?cxt=HHwWjICxyZekwvQsAAAA
  18. Facts for your consideration: Fred is 34-78 overall and 12-57 in the Big Ten. Your emotions and your gut also are worthy of consideration.
  19. According to https://www.barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Wisconsin&year=2023 he's 3rd on Wisky in usage, behind big men Tyler Wahl and Crowl. Plus, the usage numbers are really low for about 8 of the guys on their roster who basically just keep the ball moving on offense. Chucky does take some poor shots, but he's as close as they have to someone who's a "creator."
