Watched about 2 minutes of overtime of the Miami (OH) game. Get them out of the Tourney if they don't win their conference tournament.

One, they aren't good. But two, they seem like d bags.

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on March 06, 2026, 10:14:37 PMMuggsy, you have GOT to lay off the caffeine so late in the day. I said unlikely. Take a deep breath and try to carefully read and understand what other posters are saying.

Oh...I understood that you were referring to UCONN, not Arizona, as "smoke and mirrors". And I disagree.

We are all hoping for an upset. It would even be more satisfying if Hurley gets ejected.



Caffeine isn't an issue for me at all.

Quote from: panda on March 06, 2026, 10:00:49 PMWhen discussing whether I'd accept a transfer who averaged what omax put up his freshman year, I said I had no opinions but was very excited about others coming in.

What this shows is my willingness to look at the bigger picture in what will be (hopefully) a similar haul this offseason, both in number of additions s and impact to the program.

The coward then acknowledges my statement, calls it a coin flip whether I said it or not, and refuses to look it up. Further vindicating his cowardice and confirming my above statement regarding the others coming in (kolek, kuath and morsell).

I then go on to use the very search function the coward refuses to use and show exactly what I said a short 5 years ago. Direct statements are below.

Panda - can't say I watched much omax his freshman year, but I lauded kuath morsell and kolek from day 1. They were incredible pickups that immediately changed the trajectory of our program.

There's a search function - you have yourself a homework assignment if you don't believe me.

Coward - You might want to re-read my post as you addressed neither of the points. 

I didn't question what you claimed to say about OMax when he transferred.  I figured it's a coin-toss about whether that was true or not and I don't care enough to waste time looking for it.


Also - what a narc move trying to call this out. SMH

Are you going through a midlife crisis or something? Boi and narc? You and BeeJay would be best friends.

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on March 06, 2026, 10:01:07 PMESPN analytics has Marquette's chances at 17.1% Currently, UCONN is favored by 8.5.

Of course it can happen. It's just that some of us-me being one-realize that it is unlikely.  And I will add that I would absolutely love to be proven wrong in my expectations that UCONN will win. If Marquette wins, it will be a huge upset rather than being a case of UCONN being exposed as not as good as their ranking.

Quote from: Johnny B on March 06, 2026, 09:04:14 PMThey are absolutely beatable at home. Don't let any clown on here say it can't happen. I'd say 10-15 percent chance.

Quote from: wadesworld on March 06, 2026, 09:33:47 PMVBM sited OMax's numbers as the numbers of a person you'd cry about if we add in the portal this offseason. I see nothing about OMax here...
