Quote from: CountryRoads on January 11, 2025, 07:19:54 PMTexas probably has the football blinders on so they don't even realize it, but they should feel a little stupid sitting at 0-3 in conference when they have two former coaches they didn't want in the top #10 for the last few years.

To be fair, I think Beard would have had them rolling if he wasn't a scumbag.

Nearly doubling up Nebraska as the halftime break approaches.

Michigan State is a big surprise to me so far this year.

(13-2, 4-0)

They look surprisingly solid. Up double digits in the 1st half @ NW.
VIOLENCE!

Sparty is long, athletic, and deep.  Just keep rotating 6'10 bangers up front.  When they shoot well, look out.

Probably shouldn't be surprised since it is Izzo and MSU, but I am. They kinda went unspoken about after losing some guys and just picked up right where they left off but even better.
VIOLENCE!

We won't know how good MSU is until they play Wisconsin.

tower912

The also started the season winning ugly and shooting poorly.  The culture is sinking in and they are getting better at defense and fast breaking after every miss.  And Izzo has the depth to sit anybody who gets lazy for even a second. 

They don't have an obvious star.  Some view that as a weakness, some a strength. 

So, 16 for now, but trending like a typical dangerous Izzo team.

The Freshman Richardson is quite impressive.

Over 60% from the field. Over 80% from the line. Over 45% from 3. Just 13 Turnovers on the year. That's a winner right there.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on January 12, 2025, 10:57:35 AMLost in the media's love affair with Duke and Flagg's 42 points, is the fact the Duke was only up by 4 with 0:30 left against a very suspect ND team at Duke.

Notre Dame shot a ridiculous 14-24 on threes.  Without that, it's blowout city.

This will probably jinx next game they play

But if you wanna make money. Pound Sparty against average teams. They have been cleaning up for me since Maui

Don't have much in way of quality wins. But playing really well

I'll leave that for you to keep winning. I've had recent luck siding with really small schools that are 1 or 2 point dogs at home.

Shaka listed as the top candidate for the Virginia job by a Sports Illustrated writer.

Shaka Smart (Marquette)
A Wisconsin native and the former coach of Virginia Commonwealth, the 47-year-old Smart is no stranger to Coach Tony Bennett and the Virginia men's basketball program. One of the few elite culture builders remaining in college basketball, Marquette's leader has created an insular structure in Milwaukee which emphasizes player retention and development over portal additions. Smart's breakout year at Marquette came in 2022-23, in which the Golden Eagles captured both the regular season and conference tournament titles in a season in which the Connecticut Huskies — a Big East foe — thoroughly dominated the Big Dance.

Smart has proved to be adept at churning out NBA-level talent, a key feature for recruits who may bypass higher NIL payments elsewhere in exchange for elite development. This would be a home-run hire for Virginia's athletic department. Smart, however, signed an extension to remain with Marquette until 2030, and he hails from the area. Poaching a top-ten coach nationally won't come without a challenge, and the Golden Eagles (14-2, 5-0 Big East) look poised to secure a high seed in the NCAA Tournament once again. He has consistently overperformed after relocating from the University of Texas.

I do believe that Virginia basketball is a bigger brand than that of Marquette, which plays into the 'Hoos' favor. Smart brought the Golden Eagles out of a middling stretch from 2012 to 2021.

If the Power 4 is going to separate in a few years, I expect coaches to start jumping out of the Big East.

The fact that the Big East is retaining top coaching talent gives me hope for the future of college bball.

Yeah, and one of those names doesn't look like the others. I get it, but if you're going to lead off with Shaka, you should have Few, Hurley, Oats and Peal as your other four.

Must remember Virginia is Shaka's dream job. Plus we know it depends on Maya, she hates cold weather.

W/L record looks good and they have the KenPom numbers to back it up...but...they're going to have to prove it. So far they have played 5 "A-Level" games per Kenpom. They are a respectable 3-2 in those 5 games. In their next 4, they have 1 A-level game, 2 B-level games, and a gimme against Minnesota. Their final 11 games? 10 A-Level games and 1 B-Level game. Very backloaded schedule. Will be interesting to see how they hold up.

SI is a shell of what it used to be. Most of their talent left quite some time ago, and they now employ mostly freelancers and kids out of college.

The days when many of us would run to the mailbox on Thursdays to get our new SI, with the best writing and photography in the sports universe, are ancient history.

Plus, I can't run anymore.

I always find myself a little surprised when I see SI referenced these days. Kind of like Rolling Stone, I go years without seeing it then it will randomly pop up in a news feed. Both are like the Abe Vigoda of magazines (for those who remember).
