I hate all the traitors, but probably BC most of all.

I wonder what our record vs Uconn was from 94 till JC retired.

Actually, I never wonder about that lol.

Lots of us did it. Get the kids in the car, drive to the Meadowlands. The parking lot is jammed so you need to park in the back lot and walk over that bridge. Its windy as hell. Your youngest has to take a leak and isnt sure he can make it to the arena. You walk double speed. The whole freaking arena is ringed with buses with CT license plates. And then the bad shit happens, the game starts lol.

Creighton played noon yesterday. Plays 730 tomorrow? Who made up this schedule.

CBS probably wanted the Providence and Denver games. Since they have the first two viewing windows, it had to be Providence for those two games.

Turner apparently preferred the Lexington games in the late slots on TBS.

If anybody remembers 2004, we played the last game at our pod site on Thursday and then had the early tip-off on Saturday.

Hear you and agree. But there was stuff like “Sha worked Toumi out and couldn’t believe what he saw” (in a good way, hence the Baby Mamu stuff) or “Sha thinks based on summer workouts and practice this team will be better than last year” etc

Yeah, there's always going to be good stuff being leaked but I knew what I needed about the summer from the following red flags. Many key players not reporting until late in Summer. Constantly seeing/hearing that key players are not practicing. Sha prohibiting anyone from coming to practice that extended almost until season began - even positive writers like Rothstein and Jerry.

Did I read that right, Stanford was 16-14 and a two seed? That record doesn’t really scream upset, no disrespect to Portland. That’s a record that looks lucky to be playing in the postseason. Portland’s record is much better even given the fact that they probably faced much lesser competition.

The ACC has seven teams in the NCAA field and Stanford also played LSU and Ohio State out of conference.

It looks like Portland one consequential non-conference game was a 19-point win over Princeton. The WCC looks a weaker version of the Big East. A couple of very good teams and then a drop-off.

Definitely a down year for a Stanford program that has been at or near the top of Women's hoops even longer than UConn has.

Well I’ll say this. If you have inferior talent practicing against inferior talent then it might look good until they go up against better players.

Hence why I don’t take any of the over the summer hype stuff serious anymore.

Really good. Sent a ton of players to the NBA. If BC sucked in the BE, imagine what he must think of us.

Lol, no need to imagine, I'm on here regularly and I tell you exactly what I think.

BC went 4 for 30 against us. Meanwhile, we can't win a game in Newark even in what indisputably was a down year for you guys. It seems like a big difference between a team being an automatic win for an over decade versus going 500 against us every year in my opinion, but what do I know?

Sha pretty much admitted they weren't doing much evaluation in the Portal. Which is why I keep beating the dead horse that we need a GM or a scout in a non-coaching position that does year-round scouting. We should have a Big Board that rates every player with remaining eligibility and not try to make an evaluation on the fly once someone enters the portal.

Here was Sha's quote regarding what he learned from recruiting the portal and what he'll do differently,

"But I think it’s also important that you get the right people, not just names, and not just look at numbers and say, ‘okay, he averaged X amount of points at this place, I think he could average X amount of points here.’ You really gotta do your research and you gotta take some chances and trust your gut. I think all that kind of plays into it.”

Please tell this is just coach speak and not actually how we went about recruiting?

Judging from the horrific basketball and lack of anything, I think he’s describing how he put the team together. Scary.

Isn't part of Sha's job? Incredible with his Coaching staff that one is not assigned to form a list and let Sha do his "research" from that. Sha should have learned that he needs to delegate --its always some excuse.

Reading the preseason stuff here after the BE coaches poll was announced, Beef Steak, etc….

Hope Sha and the rest of the staff have learned a hard lesson on the player evaluation front.

Willard should be thanking SHU every day for not firing him after that 1st round blow-out to Marquette in the BE tournament.
I highly doubt that he would have been in consideration for any other high-major coaching positions if he had been fired.

And SHU should be thanking Willard for the job he did, because other than the decision to keep Willard what other good decisions did they make the past 2 decades?
