Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24

Is there a more unlikable coach than Dan Hurley? He was a real twit for his first few years in college, no real surprise he coaches the same way. I don’t know if that guy actually got kicked out but I love Pitino telling him not to leave. Yes mister d I realize Pitino has had his own issues!

One of my favorite memories was greatly inconveniencing him during the 2003 Final Four. We were walking down the ramps after the games were over and we noticed he was walking behind us with his wife. One of my good friends at the time was a huge OU fan, so I thought I'd ask him for his autograph an...

My first instinct is to always defend something Houston-related, but I've always "hated" Sampson stemming from his days at OU. Then he became a Rockets assistant who did wonders and now has UH a favorite for the championship. So, I've softened my stance. But it was back in full force when ...
