This is just ONE of the reasons I laugh when I hear the name ”Lunardi.”

Depending on matchup, wouldn’t mind going zone some in the tournament. Have a lot of length on the court at the guard spots, seemed pretty effective yesterday.

Mizzou was too good of shooting team to try it out again, but without the ball pressure of zz, might be helpful especially if mashack gets in foul trouble.

Agreed. Even if we don't hang our hat on it, just throw it out there to make an opponent think and adjust. Maybe to cool a run or help keep guys on the floor for offense if they get a couple of early fouls.

Woof. That’s bad.

It’s less about Duke winning games in a bad ACC and more about the fact that they are a very long team with a bunch of 5-star talent finally getting right. We’ve struggled with big, long teams this year like Kentucky, and last year a team very similar to Duke bounced us in R32

For two weeks I’ve been saying I was dreading the Duke draw and felt it was coming. Luckily, we didn’t draw them in Greeneseboro, but it’s still going to be an extremely tough game if we make it past ULL.

My thing with the matchup, I just dont trust this team to close things out in a close game. Are we going to be able to get up 15 on Duke? Probably not.
My first bracket I had us playing Purdue, now I don't. I'll change my mind 15 times between now and then. I just don't know if this team wins this game with their inability to close games late.

Best part of this is that he and ESPN will just ignore the error and move on. It will be forgotten by this afternoon and he will continue to have horrendous takes and yet still get paid.

63% FT, 29% 3pt shooter, averages 1.1 assists per game.
No thanks

This means he didn’t talk to anybody. He just made this up. Looked up their losses and made up a narrative. Turns out, he was looking at last years games.

Probably paid pretty big bucks for horrendous takes.

You know what would be fun. Tennessee vs Tiger High in the sweet 16

Well, you know, the committee takes into consideration a program's full body of work.

Fists would be balled up (though Tiger High might have to take another COVID raincheck).

My first bracket has us beating Memphis and Kentucky en route to a FF rematch vs Bama. But I'm sure I'll change that 7 times before Thursday

Hey I would too if I were them, they're playing with house money. Go all out. If you get blown out, who cares.

Just read tons of articles related to Chris Beard and “the incident.” Local reporters did a great job culling out the truth of what happened. Kudos to Texas for standing up for what was right. As far as Ole Miss goes, it’s pretty shameful to ignore not only the incident, but Beard’s insistence that truth won out when he knows his actions were wrong. Anything to win.

thanks to new AP poll, we are officially overrated

@Stoerner Fumbles you heard any portal names? Not asking you to name them here, just curious if you’ve heard similar to what I have.

I am guessing we aren't going to hear anymore about this until after the NCAA tourney?

I honestly hope it comes back to bite them very badly. I hope they suck and they have to let him go and it sets them back even further.

What’s funny is that he’s 100% using them to clean up his name, couple years down the line and assuming he’s having success and he’s bolting to a better job.

Beard and Wade both will.

I’m sure Ole Miss knows this though. They’re probably OK with being an image rehabilitation center for Bears for 2-4 years if it means getting competent basketball play and a chance at the NCAAT.
