Can't spend all the money on guards, going to ante up a little more inside.


This man speaks the truth. Sadly Cal’s approach has long been to get the best guards in the nation and to build a supporting cast around them. He’s not likely to change and we aren’t likely to advance past Elite 8 with no interior defense.

Acuff is generational…but he’s not much of a defender in anyone’s world.

re: Dammit we tried… What a run.

Much respect to Tramon Mark.

Good run for Texas. Miller will lose sleep over taking Big V out at the end.
And just to be clear...that A ain't for Alabama.
Y’all paid Booogie a small fortune not to be the 4th guard at Arkansas. Nice move.
Arguing over whether the best college today is better than a guy from 20 years ago is pointless and silly. If you played 20 years ago or more you realize the continuing improvement in athleticism and raw skills makes it an entirely different game today.
Hogs may run out of players.
Hogs need to get back to running when it’s there, but taking our time and getting the ball in the paint when it’s not.

This is one team we do NOT want to play rat ball with. Don’t take the cheese!
Cmon Hogs. Jump all over them and never let them even sniff hope.

High Point is dangerous.

Great idea, most recent sweet 16 appearance. I will create a new thread for you


I can explain the difference in total vs most recent, but fear it is likely pointless….

Please don’t get me started on the 3 second lane violation.

But I'm old-school enough to believe that the tournament is still won by guard play, and that one guy going unconscious can almost cover any deficiency you have.


Acuff sez hey.

Let’s just catch fire and win it all. I do think Brazile enjoyed being a hero in the SEC final. I’ll stick my neck out and say he finally plays to his potential and shows out a bit. Billy is gonna Billy. Our guards are elite. We just need Pringle to stud up defensively. Ewin can’t…he just need to score and grab an occasional rebound.

PAY ACUFF $5 MILLION TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR !!


Unfortunately he’s going to get $8-12m in year one as a NBA lottery pick.

They knew the committee would do something like that.


To be fair to the committee…we kinda did this to ourselves. They rank teams 1-64 and slot them into the appropriate bracket…by beating Vandy we made them the #1 5 seed,,,but we became the #4 4 seed.

Travel wise, they had four seeds from Nebraska, Kansas, Alabama and Arkansas. None want to go to Portland, but as the 16th overall seed and lowest 4 seed….we get the short straw.

Yep…it would have been better to be the top rated 5 seed and basically swap places with Vandy.
If Arkansas will just make a passing attempt to play interior defense, they win.

They seldom decide to do this as it’s a better highlight to let the guy drive by and try to block the shot.

It can be frustrating to watch.

I thin if we manage to beat them twice, that will decide the seeding.

Yep…lotsa guys swinging pillows.

Not looking great for Omaha at the moment.
Was that the play that led to Nolan being fired?
