About the same as mine - that's a lot of misses!!

60% of the time I make it every time.

I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.

I miss 100% of FTs. But I make 100% of FGs. So I get the FT rebound and 100% of the time get fouled. I dominate the recursive game. My teammates hate me.

They're not the only ones.

Yeah, I feel for the fans. The fans are caught in the paradox because on top of it all I can't play defense. The only interesting games are when I'm not a starter.

ACC schools are 1-7 in home games immediately following trips to play Cal and Stanford.

I should note though that Duke & Clemson don’t make the west coast trip and Louisville won’t until the last week.

[TheCat]

That's interesting.

[AZCatGirl]

Almost like having schools in your conference on the other side of the country is a dumb idea or something.

That's an up vote.

Tesla bus?

[Merkin]

Never saw a 20 something year old that would ever leave their phone.


This seems big:

[Chicat]

Is that report brought to us by DraftKings?

[AZCatGirl]

Looks like our other old conference may be dead soon.

Tesla bus?

rep may be gone for now, but i appreciated this. +1!

Actually hybrids catch fire the most according to this insurance company

[Fishclamps]

Ok now do Teslas vs other electrics

[U.P. Zona Fan]

I bet that bus wasn't in any of those three categories. Wonder where diesels rank.

I knew that completely thanks to you, and it's worth knowing. I'm just willing to use any anecdote whatsoever to bust Elon's balls. I have 2 plug-in hybrids, but it's not like I would want any hypothetical child of mine to grow up using a Toyota CEO as a role model.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Diesel, diesel, diesel, diesel!

I'm also on fire and EMS here, never fought a hybrid fire, but we've been trained a few times on them and they can be really bad.

Holy shit Arkansas losing by over 30 to South Carolina, only made 3 FGs in the 1st half

[TheCat]

Anyone watching the series Pitino: Red Storm rising? Showed when he was playing teams arch rival in the Euro league. He said it made Louisville/Kentucky look like a tea party. Had 20,000 fans, 30 cops with shields and six machine guns. That was interesting. Game was intense.

Then it followed a bit of St. John's "benefactor" and talked NIL. The teams benefactor is a billionaire who grew up watching them play and wanted a winner. The was eye opening also. Pretty good serious with some intense Pitino minutes.

[Merkin]

Dang WCC.

Key stats
The teams combined to shoot 1 of 31 on 3-pointers, the third-worst combined percentage in any game over the past 20 years. Saint Mary’s went 0 for 16.

[Chicat]

Cooper Flagg injured his ankle and had to be helped back to the locker room.

Duke down at the half vs. Georgia Tech. Their 3-point shooting today makes Arizona’s look good by comparison.

[Merkin]

There are rules! This isn't Nam.

Duke scores the first 10 on the 2nd half.

I’d much rather see Duke be the first 1-seed to lose this year than to see them lose early in a horrific ACC and get bumped to a 2-seed.

[Merkin]

What a massive choke. Did they go into some sort of prevent offense? Just change whatever has been working for 3/4 for the game and do something completely different?

[Chicat]

I love college basketball and I have a boner that could flip an 18-wheeler.

UCLA got absolutely clowned on in the 1st half by Wisconsin, yeesh

[84Cat]

Mich St beat Oregon. I think that's good for us as Ore was close to a 4 seed

[Chicat]

If I ruled the world I would use this picture every time he’s mentioned in the press.

The clowning continues

Bruce Pearl just said on ESPN, “My guards aren’t pussies.”

Putz says pussy. Mmmkay

[Merkin]

Wisky made 19 3 pointers v. UCLA.

Don't even put them in the same bracket as Arizona.

The cops should just start digging up his yard looking for bodies based on the smile alone.

Cronin at ucla means they're not really going to emerge as any kind of regional or national power any time soon. He inherited an incredible roster from Alford, somehow got to a FF (because Juzang's shooting got hotter than it's ever been previously or since), and now he's been squandering talented rosters ever since. Their recruiting is abysmal, and yet, they're somehow stoked on Cronin. Gotta love it.

i agree with this except for possibly the part about inheriting an incredible roster from alford. what'd he leave behind? his 2018-19 recruiting class was lukewarm at best and ucla had zero players who were all-americans, on the all pac-12 first team, or recipient of any conference honors. jaylen hands was the only guy who made pac-12 player of the week that season. the bruins had a lot of guys returning for 2019-20 and pulled jaquez, 'reef, and tyger but that recruiting class was ranked 72nd at best, and at worst unranked. going into the season ucla had zero players on any of the preseason watchlists or on the all-pac first or second teams, and were picked to finish 8th in the conference.

i'm not a fan of cronin by any means and like to think he got a little lucky with jaquez and juzang (plus the all the drama going down in arizona around that time) - i just think alford sucked way more, didn't exactly leave ucla basketball in turnkey conditions when he left, and was equally unlikeable. i guess it also helps that mick doesn't have a mini-cronin to piss us off. man, i did not like bryce alford.

[Merkin]

Sigh. Man I hate Duke.
