Re: College Hoops Offseason thread 2013
Brian - yeah Illinois would have seemed like a great job for Smart. It's the perfect kind of school to step up to - good program with good tradition, but not great. It's not overbearing, so you have a chance to learn how to succeed at that level before you have the bright spotlight on you. It worked...

Re: College Hoops Offseason thread 2013
I wonder if Shaka Smart is concerned about his style working at the highest levels? It's works well now when he's getting second-tier recruits and coaching them up. They buy in and get good at what they do, so when they play the big boys who aren't used to that pressure, VCU is able to run them ragg...

I thought Beasley was up and down. He made some obvious mistakes, but also made some sensational plays. It looked like he got more comfortable and confident as the game went on, despite the bad leg.

Re: NCAA Tournament thread - Play-In games and Round of 64
My point is we should be grading on a curve. The Big East is 6-5 as a conference and has three Sweet 16 teams, but that should be seen as a disappointment for a conference given four top 4 bids, two more in the 5-8 range and two below. 10-4 with four teams still alive was the expectation out of tha...

I don't think you can fault the officials for the OSU call (though the studio crew did). It was an incredibly close play, and even on review it looked to barely be conclusive.

You can all breathe a sigh of relief. UVA has won again in the NIT, beating St. John's 68-50. One more win and UVA heads to MSG.
46 of UVA's 68 points came from freshmen. The future's still looking pretty good in cville.
