Speaking of blue bloods, lots of smoke Archie Miller is in talks with IU

[UMFan83]

Now confirmed by the Dayton AD, Archie has officially resigned to take the IU job. Great pickup for the Hoosiers.

I like the hire.

Kentucky is going to win the whole thing again, aren't they?

 

I still got KU winning it all. Whoever comes out of it whether it's UK, KU, or UNC will win it.

Two solid hires for U of I and IU.

If he had waited a year he could have had the Ohio State job

Yeah, I'm good with the hire. Best of the realistic options. Now to see who leaves early, transfers, or decommits. Hopefully there are none of the latter 2. I assume Bryant goes and hope, Blackmon's sorry ass is gone.

You are, act like a blue blood FFS.

 

You know I'm a huge puss when it comes to cbb.

 

ALthough the pressure feels much lighter considering the Cubs won the WS.

Agreed on Blackmon. I will not miss him one bit.

Feel bad for Frank Mason, hell of a player.

 

Some of your fans are insane, calling for Self to be on the hot seat..... He's, for my money, the best coach in college.

I wanted Archie for NCSU (NCSU alum and his wife is actually from my small hometown in NC) but he obviously wasn't interested. Not that I can really blame him. Though, that said, I'm really happy with Kevin Keatts as the hire. Obviously he could fall flat on his face, but he can recruit, is well connected and respected, (note: Oxford comma) and all he's ever done is win. And he's young enough that if all the pieces fall right he could be a fixture for a long, long time.

hell of a last minute in the Kentucky/Carolina game

Randomly looked at the NIT bracket today and man did the top teams not give a horsefeathers this year. The Final Four seeds were 4, 4, 6, 8. The #1 seeds won a total of 3 games (none more than 1), the #2 seeds won a total of 2 (both Illinois) and the #3 seeds didn't win any.

to be fair, the NIT seeding is pretty dumb and pointless

People are dumb. Who are you gonna get that's better? Coach K? Cal? Roy (who couldn't win here)?

 

I feel bad for Frank too. Basically a worst case scenario game. Jackson makes two dumb fouls. Graham--who's just a hero ball chucker who happens to hit at a decent clip--can't hit anything. We force a stop and fight each other for the board, losing it to them (twice). Their guy is banking buzzer beaters. It is what it is.

 

If I had one issue with the coaching it's that I wish Self could've gotten them to play a little smarter when when we were trying to close the gap. We had a bunch of consecutive stops, but the offensive possessions were pretty hero ball-y. But that team sorta was famous for that all season. Self let them be a little wild, and it worked. Until it didn't.

I honestly hear Danning Manning a lot and they point to the work he has done developing post players. I want to bring up that Manning is struggling at Wake and that Self turned Robert Archibald and Damir Krujpalia into pro post players before he ever worked with Danny, but I realize they're irrational and no one remembers those old Illinois players. lol.

 

Basically Carlton Bragg killed your team this year. His lack of development made your team uneven big time towards the wings.

Miss St and UConn are going to overtime in the Women's Final Four.

[CubInOK]

Miss St beats UConn on a buzzer beater. The last :30 are complete lulzville.

That was ugly basketball at the end. Both teams were clearly gassed. That said, amazing shot.

Refs tried to give UCONN the game with that bull crap flagrant foul call and the announcers were wholeheartedly agreeing with it.
