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.

Did I not say it is unlikely??  17% is not impossible.   The question is will we see our A game a la Creighton (up 30 at the half) or that debacle last Saturday?

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...

When 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

Quote from: The Sultan on March 06, 2026, 12:57:58 PMOf course endowments play into athletics. The more money that is in your endowment, the better your budget relief is across the board. The reason Georgetown athletics is "cash strapped" is a budgetary issue more than a revenue one.

Wrong. There are strict limitations on how endowment money is spent. Billy is correct.

Quote from: MuggsyB on March 06, 2026, 08:27:26 PMArizona had key players out if memory serves and they were at home.   They also absolutely should have lost to Providence at home.  This is a smoke and mirrors team.  They won't advance past the S16 IMHO.

Arizona is smoke and mirrors? What are you smoking?
