    South Carolina gets to #11 and then gets smoked by 40? Can you say fraud?

    Definitely good, but blue blood good after the UCLA thing didn't last? I'm not sure.

    Why is life worth living?

    I actually found dating in my late 30's easier. Knew exactly what I could and couldn't put up with, and had no qualms about just saying "nope, you are not the one". Went through a lot of false starts, but found my wife in 2006 and married her in 2008. Still going great today.

    I think the best thing that could have happened for our focus is TT blowing KU's doors off. These guys seem to have blinders on game to game, so I hope that continues.

    Watching this game, one thing I don't miss from the Prohm/Fred era is the urgency to inbounds the ball after a made basket (to get out on the break). It felt almost like we were constantly trying to get that one back and the urgency seemed to lead to some loss of composure and bigger runs by the...

    I was actually wondering why that never happened the other day, but then, Alford has not been great at all his stops

    Probably exactly that, except in the half court

    I feel like TJ would love to continue to rotate guys in and out so they can all play balls to the wall when they're in there, and I think we're seeing some of the fruits of that this year as guys are fresher for the home stretch. I think that gives Hamilton some opportunities if he is ready...

    I'd love to know the ratio of turnovers forced to wide open threes given up, but I'd bet a lot of money the math on that works out totally in our favor.

    Most of my best moments have come after it felt like the rug of life had been pulled out from under me. Hang in there

    Not sure if I've seen a more impactful 8 minutes of playing time than Pav had. Not only gave Tamin a blow, but was everywhere with key passes, steals, defensive stops.

    Just watching the replay, and the first 16 minutes of game looked like the exact kind of dog fight that I expected.

    I have it set that way, but it only records ESPN+ games. Maybe a game was on there when I set it up and that's all it will do?

    NCAA Tournament Officiating

    That's really the way it should be officiated. If you get to the spot first and stop their momentum in a given direction with your chest, then play on. And we do that all the time.

    Iowa State is the new Press Virginia

    I used to hate that style of basketball, but TJ has shown me the light lol. Honestly, I don't feel like we are THAT bad on contact. I'd liken us to WV's best teams. Their mediocre teams just grabbed and hacked because they weren't good enough to play straight up against you.

    That is a concern, but we have shown the ability to adapt and still be effective. Good news is that our team is great at drawing contact too.
