I find it very difficult to have any respect at all for LSU athletics or the school itself.

Nate Oats said on his radio show on Rick Pitino: “I was really young when he was at Providence. He was at Kentucky more when I was really into it, watching all that. They had some loaded, talented teams there. … I still remember the Laettner shot against his Kentucky team."

You look at the accomplishments of our team, 24 wins thus far, winning the regular season SEC Championship, SEC Tournament Championship, beating very talented LSU 3 times, Tennessee twice, NIT bound Mississippi State 3 times.
It's been a fun season with more fun times coming up.
Quiet a few opposing fans are hoping or thinking this is a 1 shot magical season we're having.
That be wishful thinking on their part with what we have coming in & back next year, particularly in the backcourt.

@tsnmike ranked every single team in this year's NCAA Tournament based on how likely they are to win the whole thing.


quote:

As always, these rankings are based not on regular-season accomplishments or achievements, or on the committee’s seedings or my own, but on the likelihood of each individual team winning the six games necessary to claim the NCAA championship.

Which means factors such as a team’s draw are important, as are having the qualities one generally finds in a champion: a high-end offense and defense, usually one of the 20 most effective in each category; legitimate NBA talent, preferably so obvious that one or more players is considered a first-round pick; a player with the ability, either from the wing or the point, to defeat a well-designed defense just with individual ability and, preferably, a coach who’s been deep into the tournament on prior occasions and understands the challenges.


quote:

5. Alabama. Probably said this before, somewhere, but the weirdest thing about the Crimson Tide is that they are best known for their offense but are better on D. But point guard Jahvon Quinerly is becoming a special player, or perhaps recovering all of what had made him an elite prospect as a high schooler. Winning the title with a team that draws so much of its offense from 3-point distance is not unprecedented. The 2018 Villanova team did exactly that. But its individual personnel were better suited to individually seizing moments, the way Mikal Bridges did against the Crimson Tide in their second-round game.

Q's emergence has made us a legitimate threat to make this run that a lot of people are betting on. Our defense plus his increasing ability to make things happen offensively off the dribble makes the need to make 40% of our 3s even lower.

It's just another thing that raises our team's floor and makes having a great shooting night a huge added luxury instead of an absolute necessity.

It's also easy to forget that we stole the Furman game - we were down 15 at one point. The average margin for the game was Furman +7.7!

ETSU was also a very close game for 25 minutes - the average margin in that game was Alabama +4.

Why does everyone automatically assume that it was Oats that sent the “Suppose to be fish” text?

I was wondering this too, but wouldn't be surprised at all if it was him.
