Quote from: willie warrior on March 07, 2026, 04:02:06 PMNice game for the Warriors and a positive way to end regular season. Hamilton even had some moments. Screw Hurley. He is and will always be a dick, Pitino and Hurley are the two headed dick of the BEast. Still going to need much help for next year. Stevens, Parham and James should continue to grow. Hope the redshirts and incoming frosh can contribute. We do need a down low pounder for next year. Hamilton and Clark can be backups to that guy, and we can give up 10 fouls per game at that position. Also need to decent backup PG to spell James. Need lots more help.

but...I love that Pitino and Hurley are in the BE. They bring attention. Regardless of Pitino's past and Hurley's antics, they bring prestige. Beating THEM makes it all the better. Agree with your other comments. Regarding Hamilton, I'm hopeful. Clark, I have no idea. But, reason for optimism if the portal brings some help.

Those people are so stone cold crazy that anyone making a rational argument against them will sound almost as crazy.

Quote from: MU82 on March 07, 2026, 07:33:18 PMCould? Sure. All kinds of weird teams made the 2023 Final Four, and NC State made it in 2024. So all kinds of weird teams could make it again.

But it's highly unlikely that poor defensive teams like the Weasels and Boilers make it in 2026. One bad shooting game, and the Weasels easily could be out in round 1; they'll be playing a much better opponent than the Oregon team they lost to just 10 days ago.

We are in agreement.

Michigan and Illinois are the 2 Big Ten Title contenders.

Thought we were supposed to use teal?

I think the Badgers will either be one and done or Sweet 16. They are a tough prep on 48 hours if you aren't used to their new offense. But while they can step up to great opposition, they also lost to Oregon, USC, and Indiana. Be interesting to see who they match with and how high they're able to climb seed wise.

Quote from: CountryRoads on March 07, 2026, 08:09:02 PMThink I'd prefer Butler/StJ over X/UCONN.

I'd prefer X/UConn because they will play in the evening.
