@Texas-Hawk-10 My thoughts when I read that exactly. Fits some here , a that is all that seems to qualify as being a successful Coach Pretty solid words from a Legendary Coach in his own right If a little banner is what makes you tick then if that’s what it takes for you to pound your chest and say look at us well then , you have lost what it means about being Successful. Coach Self is a VERY successful Coach with many Successful Seasons Period , end of story

@SlimShaddy54 @Texas-Hawk-10 i think we can all agree Hurleys ego makes him very unlikeable

Maryland won over Colorado State with last second shot with Queen walking before making basket with no call. The talking heads are without a peep about it.

Not even a Euro Step.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I think Self needs to look in the mirror and adhere to what Geno said
Self prized two guys above the rest and it caused an all out practically brawl in Utah with players calling coaches out……
Phrasing Geno’s comments to paint Self as some saint is the most comically bad take and heck you’ve had a hell of a lot lately

The women’s tournament took a big blow last night as USC star JuJu Watkins tore her ACL in USC’s win over Miss. St.
Her and Paige Bueckers have been the two biggest reasons to watch the women’s tournament this year.
-
What a snooze fest both brackets have become, imo
-
Something very interesting has happened. Maryland coach Kevin Willard has accepted the Villanova job right before Maryland plays in a Sweet 16 game. That is absolute trash behavior. It may have been announced publicly as of yet, but there’s already stories from both sides confirming this. Maryland has advised their search firm to add a basketball HC on top of their AD search and Villanova people are reporting Willard is already recruiting the transfer portal for players to bring to Villanova.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that’s wild. Sounds like his players aren’t the only one’s blatantly travelling. He’s now travelling as well… to a new team!
-
Would the Maryland players want to be coached by him? I’d take the asst coaches! Totally sucks for them.
-
Wow, just now being tuned into what Willard has done. I wouldn’t be surprised it a player of a team still playing entering the portal, obviously not agreeing with that being allowed to happen, but for a sweet 16 coach to do it? What an absolute jerk that guy must be. Nova will be going from one of the most likeable coaches in Wright, to a bad one and then to this. And since he’s doing this to Maryland, then Nova shouldn’t be surprised when he does something similar to them.
-
Coaches have been doing shady crap for a while now. It’s wrong but there’s a deeper root cause to it all from coaches to players.
-
I dont know if this bothers me. It seems like there is a culture of one year stints for players and shorter stints for coaches than we might be accustomed to. Maybe coach is being transparent about it. Conversely, coaches can wait too long and tie the university’s hands.
-
Another moment to say “how lucky are we?” that we have had so few coaches
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 so is he Coaching Maryland for the remainder of the Season or did he just up and leave ?
-

I think he is, but he also skipped the team dinner last night and pretty much trashed the university on the way out the door. If I was a Maryland player, I wouldn’t put forth much effort tonight after what Willard has said and done.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ya for sure, that’s just messed up --even worse if he just walks out before there season is over
-
Maryland should be out of the tournament anyways because of Derik Queen’s walk before making the last-second basket. It was a shitty no-call by the ref.
-
@patoh3 maybe the md coach texted YES at halftime to the Nova position
-
Y’all watching this BYU Bama game? 7 minutes to go Bama has hit 22/44 3s and has 97 points
-
Alabama 75 points from downtown.
-
@Zabudda that was wild a normal shooting night and BYU likely cruises to a win. 25/51 from down town just unheard of.
-
I guess this now becomes my question after this joke of a game.- ----Should College more their three point line back ? -twenty made and fifthy one attempted is just out of control- -Move it back to NBA what is theirs ?
-
BYU outscores Bama 50-15 in the paint. Fool’s gold?
-
I’ve watched like two plays in the Duke game and have twice seen whistles favor Duke, and as I type another one. I hate cheering for Arizona but these refs seem to be swooning for them.
-
Nice comeback TT! Finish them.
-
Wow Arkansas choked that way bad. They was up 13 with just over 4 minutes to go and up 6 with a minute to go.

You are playing against 8 right now when you play Dook. I wish we got some of those calls in March
-
@kjayhawks nice. Lower seed AND bigger choke job.
-
No one could have beat Alabama last night. That was an all time performance.
I’m surprisingly apathetic about the TT / Ark outcome. It was exciting at the end… but who cares.
-
@kjayhawks Yes Arkansas choked. Imagine how fucked up a team would have to be to choke against Arkansas
-
@bskeet I hope they keep it going and smoke Dook
-
Wow Purdue doesn’t guard the inbounder and lets a up a wide open layup with under a second to go in a tie game. Houston back to elite 8
-
Was a dunk to win the game!
-
SECPN radio was talking during the games last night as I was driving home and talking Duke. The dude actually said Duke received no challenges in the ACC except for when Clemson surprised them and Auburn out of conference. Ummmmm, KU? US beating them is really the reason why I didn’t very reluctantly not pick them to win it all. So far my FF is intact with Houston, Florida, Auburn and Tech. But I hope Izzo crashes the party.
-
@wissox I feel like Izzo is out early or FF no in between
-
Come on TT!
-
Tech choked that one away at the FT line.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in NCAA Tournament Discussion:

UF 23-25 from the line; TTU 7-13. Two late missed front ends were the real difference…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 They had them- --They had Florida by ten and flat ass blew it
-
Tech choking away a big tournament win? That can’t be right
-
Hate to say it, don’t know if Duke can be beat.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 they are the presumptive favorites. I wonder how much compensation at Duke for freshman talent, if one could quantify value of all the perks, stacks up at Duke compared to other institutions.
-
@approxinfinity probably not.
-
Duke’s probably one of the best put together teams we’ve seen in a minute man. Positional size, shooting, multiple handlers and athleticism…
-
Makes the win with Malik, Svi, dtae… team even sweeter. Take those guys over the perfect dukies. Our guys were super fun!
-
@TYOHawk they’re almost always perfect, don’t think they have to recruit to hard. Do you?

They’re Nike and ESPN’s favorite. They get to select who they want…
-
UH is putting on a defensive clinic against Tennessee right now. Vols only had 15 points at halftime and are 20 points 5 minutes into the 2nd half.

Kentucky has re-entered that chat.
