Interesting way of phrasing it because if they lose to South Carolina again it seems like they are in real danger of having to play Tuesday or Wednesday.. or potentially missing altogether if there are 4 or 5 bid stealers.

Sounds like we are pretty solidly a 3 without too much room to go up or down. I guess if we lose Thursday we could slip depending on what other teams do. I’m not sure we can make it to a 2. To me the difference between a 2 and 3 is pretty negligible anyway, although there are some pretty gnarly projected 6s this year.

After 15 years of listening to the committee say the SEC tournament means absolutely jack **** for NCAA tournament seeding except for very specific and rare cases I’m going to believe them. If we’re projected a 3 seed right now then I’m going to guess there’s a 99% chance we’ll be a 3 seed no matter what happens. Losing our first game last year made no difference.

I know nobody cares about DrakeBasketballsucka, but some of the articles I've read about Ben McCollum are fascinating. They are absolutely insistent on not taking bad shots, to the point where they'll take a shot clock violation rather than force up a bad one. They turn it over on 20 percent of possessions for that very reason. And the reason is that he knows that a bad shot likely leads to a run-out, and he doesn't have the athletes to slow down a team in transition. At least with a shot clock violation, they have time to set up their defense.

I don't think I'd ever heard a coach say that sort of thing, and I've certainly thought of that principle.
Why not throw up a prayer and not care about getting the rebound? Just haul anus in the opposite direction as soon as the ball is in the air?

I'd at least try it and compare results. Probably late for that this season, but maybe in October.

To me this just seems like you run your offense and, if it doesn't work, you go full Princeton and jack a 3 with no one to rebound if you're so concerned with getting out-horsed. If it worked for them, it can work for anybody.

I can’t wait to sit down and watch some Drake games after hearing about that offense, what a joy that sounds like

Cal in those suits looks like an insane carnival barker

The first hints of spring with the mid 60s days are just unreal, everyone with a pep in their step and happy, ready to reemerge

9:45 (if that) tip offs for first couple games is less than ideal but whatever

Tequila season approaching

Who’s got the life support paddles for GYERO? It’s March and the most back to back posts we’ve had in the last week were deeply personal insults hurled at horrible person UKO

I absolutely love marketing. Not saying I'm good at it, but I find it really interesting and I wish we could take bets on what works and what doesn't. Which brings me to the Angel Reese meal deal. It's a Bacon quarter pounder with cheese with BBQ sauce + fries and a drink.

I've got no issue with Angel Reese and I appreciate her QPC game. That said, I've never met a woman who ordered a BBQ bacon cheeseburger. Not the most feminine order out there, and it's probably too big for young girls. But at the same time, how many teenage boys or young men want to order an "Angel Reese" or any "woman's meal" for lunch? It's like ordering the "Lady Filet" at a steakhouse - kind of emasculating even if you're really just not that hungry.

So I'll be interested to see if we can get any insights whether McD's hit their sales target with this.
Jesus, Wayne.

I don’t even care if you offended anybody with your post, you just put way too much time and thought into a “celebrity fast food order.”

I haven't watched Drake but if 20% of your possessions are shot clock violations I have a hard time believing you are running an effective offense.

Twenty percent of their possessions end in turnovers. Included in that are shot clock violations.

It's not the offense I would want for my favorite team, but the dude just wins, so he's got that going for him.

Once we get through the portal closing and the draft deadline it won't be as entertaining to observe Arkansas fans but for now it's still pretty funny to see them talk about Adou coming back Wednesday, rationalizing Cal's apathy towards the SEC tournament, and discussing all of the players that will return next year.

ACT testing today, gang. Don't worry, I'm giving a practice one to freshmen. Apparently, the ACT website has crashed nationwide. We can't access on-line stuff for our Pre-ACT testing regulations, but for now the Jrs who have to take the real thing today (my daughter included), aren't being affected here . . . yet.

However, I've seen districts in LA, TN, MO, and KY report trouble. Many students coming in today trying to get scholarships and college acceptance. To have that on your plate ant then the website just crash . . . Anyway, down with on-line tests. Back to paper! Kill the trees and sea-turtles, regardless of what Starbucks says.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Console the students by telling them that "statistics show 75% of you won't amount to much anyway, so don't worry about it."

I'm one year away from retirement. This message is received daily along with UCL's (Max's?) general nihilistic approach to everyday living.

Go Cats! My family is in the door for Thursday night.

Not to be political but Steak n Shake going all in with Elon, Trump, and RFK is super weird, right?

And it all stems from seed oils? I guess I mistakenly thought people who spoke out against that stuff were all liberal hippies but apparently it's shifted to the other end.

The whole **** is upside down as 24/7 news and internet “news” has completely fried and warped everyone’s brain. Republicans love EVs, scientists, and the Kennedy’s now. Democrats love war, government censorship, and taxing waitresses. Nobody knows what the f*ck they’re even arguing anymore.

Stuck at home with the Wayne virus.

ACC is complete trash. Refs just gave ND the win. Review at buzzer.

Big 12 court is hideous.
