Jack up threes, drive and flail and try to get to the FT line. That's basically the whole sport now.

I don't look at college stats that much but was looking at betting Proctors assists against Louisville.  I started looking into it and most teams are only getting like 10-12 assists a fuging game. That said i did not bet on it. 

 

Houston and Tennessee scored 70+ pts in their championship games and only had 7 assists each

Not surprised. Everyone is running the same ISO dribble ball bullshit. It's the way the elite recruits want to play because that's NBA ball. IMO the ticket to consistent success in this environment is to forget about the elite recruits. Let someone else buy them. Focus on good recruits who buy into a system, probably don't have legit NBA hopes, and want to maximize their NIL earnings knowing that a future in the NBA is probably not in the cards. Gobble up as many of those guys as you can and play team ball.

UNC just needs to accept their NIT standing and be done with it. Honestly, I'm not sure UNC could win the NIT either.

Surely to God we wouldn't accept a fuging NIT bid. Hell, even Wake Forest finally developed a little pride and declined an NIT bid. LOL!

We might not win the NIT but we kept Wake out of the dance.

UNC did turn down an NIT invite a couple of years ago. That's why I brought it up, well, that and your post about the play in game.

Oh good lord, UNC AD Bubba Cunningham was the chair of the selection committee and we get in as what they admit was the last team in when most assumed we were out after he gives our coach who should probably be fired a 5 year extension? Jesus, this is such a bad look.

I didn't want us to get a bid already and now the optica of this? Fug...

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
