this is like when the Bahamas Bowl and First Responders Bowl were being played after the NYE/NYD playoff bowl games


They know that no body was going to watch while the tournament was in full swing. Still kinda weird timing b/c they could've done this during the off days M/Tu/W

If Flory already has a DNC tag, I know we’re not the team. Pearl already kinda admitted our best foot been put towards NCAAT prep so we’re probably behind on bro (if in at all).

I love his ceiling but you’re gonna have to give him 1.5m as a starting figure I bet, and he’s still project piece status rn

Minus his relentless bad shot selection in the S16 game, I like Pettiford's game a lot. Without a doubt has has an east coast game with a wicked handle, quick drive, and bad shot selection :mjlol:
When he gets his upper body stronger with an offseason, works more on the PG aspect of his role (that always comes later for combo guards), and becomes the #1 option next year instead of trying to fit around Broome, he’s gonna be something crazy.

This distinction had belonged to Gonzaga but they got over the Elite 8 hump. Has to be Tennessee now, right? Purdue had a 44 year stretch without a final 4, they got over the Elite 8 hump last year.

its Tennessee def
I even remember the 90s with tony harris and vincent yarbough they were always ranked but did nothing tourney time, then under dem bruce pearl years stacked but could do nothing.

And even now with rick barnes quality teams just can't do it.

BYU and Xavier are up there as well.

BYU and Xavier I'll give much more leeway bc they weren't in major conferences for the past 50 years

Bama brehs, I meant to post it but some "insider" on Twitter going around saying Oats is a name to consider for the Maryland job (laughable imo), saying oats is frustrated with bama NIL leaning heavily towards football.

Any truth to any of this? Maybe oats trying to get a little raise from the Tide?

If he stays in the portal instead of the draft then this guy will have every school in the nation trying to get him
