MBHORNSFAN Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Just now, BobInHouston said: Take a deep breath, Mike. No. Truth hurts. And it's sad that expectations are so low for bask but not surprising. It's the worst program on campus. Hopefully the next coach can bring some excitement back to the program. Coaching matters. Just look at baseball now under Schloss as compared to Pierce. 3 1 Quote

ArizonaLonghorn Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Not something to be proud of - but at least we are in. As for me I'm pulling for Duke, a remnant of growing up in ACC country as a high school basketball player. They have an excellent shot this year if Flagg's ankle is even 95%, but also a recent record of getting banged around by experienced older teams and losing unexpectedly too. Quote

I actually like Texas in this match up ... if the Horns contain Ryan Conwell. The Indiana State transfer is one of the best shooters in the country with 97 three's made at 41%, and averages 17 per game. If Texas limits him, Xavier will have to find scoring from other places (outside of Freemantle). Xavier shoots 39% from three ... defending the 3-pt line will be key Wednesday night. 1 1 Quote
harveycmd Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Pansies at Texas now. Just listened to a goober complain about writing a ten page paper at the end of the semester. When I went to Texas, we had 10k word essays due every week over 500 pages of reading Hegel. No way to fake it either. I remember having an assistant prof who pre-read your essay before you read it to the class. They literally cut putzes who were filibustering. Quote
harveycmd Posted March 17 Posted March 17 By the way, my professor for that class was Robert Solomon. That was 1991. He wasn't anything compared to my later studies under Stanley Rosen at the University of Chicago, but he prepared me. Quote

I saw part of an Xavier game early in the season and have no feel for them whatsoever. I recognized Hugley from OU but his role appeared to be their Onyema. So every tidbit of scouting you can provide is appreciated, at leastm by me. Quote

He wasn't anything compared to my later studies under Stanley Rosen at the University of Chicago, but he prepared me. Just curious - when was Rosen at Chicago? Sometime around 20-30 years ago I heard him give a guest lecture at UT and he was introduced as the Something Distiguished Professor at Boston University. When I was a freshman at Rice in 1960 I attended a guest lecture series featuring two theologians - Paul Tillich and Eugene Borowitz. Somewhere around the middle of the second night's "debate" I lost the thread. I was reminded of that experience when I listened to Rosen. Edited March 17 by MarkInAustin Quote

So we took 2 Indiana St transfers and they weren’t even the top 2 players on their team? Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted March 17 Moderators Posted March 17 This is a really cool visual look at the tournament teams and their shot selections. Quote
