Dan Hurley is at the top of his game right now. His offense executes to precision, draws up great sets out of time outs, his players are totally bought into his hard coaching and culture. He’s a perfect fit at UConn, would not surprise me to see them go for a 3-peat next year. Hard to believe...

This gives Barnes the opportunity to find a portal guy that can score. We need someone who can score the basketball. Hate to lose an experienced player, but Awaka’s offensive game was very limited.

Don’t sleep on LSU this weekend. Their Friday guy is good. Really hope our bats stay hot this weekend. Interesting to see what Tony and Frank do about our Friday night guy. Run Causey back out there or make a change? We need the series win this weekend, would be huge at the halfway point of...

So, it’s safe to say that Trey is giving them what they want!

Not surprised at all. He wants to play immediately. Was hoping he would stick it out, I do feel he had some upside and could turn to a player to help us next year. To be honest, I wished he would have stayed. Best of luck to him wherever he goes.

I think Zander has earned the right to be our Sunday starter for the time being.

Edey is a 4 year player and has learned how to play in the post and draw fouls plus his coach has had a major import in his development. Here’s the thing, our coaches knew he would be a tough cover playing him straight up. We decided to play him the same way as we did in Hawaii and hoped the...

Their coach is excellent. He motivates at a high level and his offense is really hard to defend. They are hungry for a repeat. He coaches with a chip on his shoulder as he always thinks he has to prove himself with his background with his Dad and Brother. I saw a story on him where he use to...

Absolutely great series win by the Vols! Shoutout to our pitching staff today shutting out the Dogs. They can swing it for sure. I really feel this team is special and will make another run to Omaha. When we get totally healthy, watch out this team is gonna roll. Tony will punch the right...

Edey is the one player in the country that changes how you want to play defensively and how to game plan for him. We caught a break as Purdue was off from 3. I think they only made 3. I personally think we should have come at him hard early with double teams to try to get him give the ball up...

We are the favorite Friday although by a very slim margin. I would think many people believe we will not score enough to beat Creighton as their strength is shooting the ball. We shall see, who knows, Barnes may have a trick up his sleeve Friday night. I like our chances. It would be very nice...

Rick Barnes needs this game badly to shake the national media’s assumption he always flames out in the tournament. He and his staff have plenty of time to game plan for Creighton. We are the higher seed and we are way more athletic than them. Their strength is shooting the ball at a high level...
