Gotta love when we have an opportunity for the hype to go toe-to-toe with reality and watch reality kick hype's butt. I only wish that artificial narratives and manipulated public opinion could always be challenged by reality in such an unequivocal way as the NCAAT. The world would be a...

Anybody else reveling in the BIG taking the Oh-fer? The most teams, the sweetest seeds. All the hype. Only two Sweet 16 teams. No Great 8 teams. Man, what an epic Crash 'n' Burn.

Best Freshman player I've ever seen play.

I like Khalid, but I think he has done what he can here and it is better for each party that he broaden his horizons, move on and learn from a different set of coaches. And for our program, it is time we use his scholarship to change the composition of this roster, which, as it is, is not...

I agree with Root that watching the NCAAT games certainly drives home the reasons why our team was a 20 loss team. Physically, our team certainly does not look like these NCAA teams. These teams are composed of thick, explosive athletes. These guys are buff. Actually, our skill level was not...

Mooney Got 10 yrs $15Mil guaranteed from Richmond, which was WAY out of our price range. and while he may not have set the world on fire since his last NCAA team, he is still a better coach than Brian Gregory, which is who we ended-up with. Hubert Davis is making a very nice transition for...

Chris Mack had a good thing rolling there. Unless there is some bad blood, I would put those two back together and pretend he never left.

Probably not a coincidence that 5 or the ten schools are premier academic institutions: GT, NW, Cal, Stanford and Vandy. Education not a big seller these days.

The Mike White to UGA hire makes perfect sense to me. Football is the goose that lays the golden eggs there and really all that they want out of basketball is for the program not to embarrass the institution. They probably don't want to dive into the fray to compete with the top of the...

Drop-off seasons are not that rare. Having a rough year on the heels of two good ones is not an unforgiveable sin. Neither is a team where the pieces just don't come together well. The pivotal matter is in the response to those drop-off seasons. And the real question is whether or not we can...

They have potential but they will need to make very large strides to dig us out of the hole I can see where my evaluations may seem a little harsh but look at the context: We went from a team that was .647 in the ACC to one that was .250. That's a big drop. The ACC championship team had four...

This season was on Pastner. This was his first team that I thought was not very scrappy (as a whole). The drop-off in the hustle board stats was enormous. Some of it was lack of quickness at multiple positions, some of it was mental. Our team was out-hustled much of this year. We did not...

The kid never told his mother. K told the mother. The kid talked about it while at Duke. The story made it's way up to K and K told the mom, probably with the express intention of undermining GT. K never did forgive GT for firing his supposed friend Cremins. K never has missed an...

I think it is a combination of the ACC moving down to the pack and the pack moving up to the ACC. Parity (or 'mediocrity' for the whine & cheese sect) is the rule of the day. I can see where that might be a tough pill to swallow for the fans who have ben around long enough to be accustomed to...

As I'm sure that I am not the only one here who is curious and invested in Jordan's next step, I hope you know it will be appreciated to read any updates on his progress towards a pro career.

A general rule of thumb is that when things are going well, you promote from within to preserve continuity. When things are not going well, you recruit from outside. But there were coaches from the K tree with head coaching experience, so I think Scheyer was being groomed the whole time...

Pastner looks too relaxed. Somebody forward some of Root's posts so that our coach knows that the entire season is on the brink of utter collapse and that our bare bottoms are riding down a razor-blade slide of failure into to an alcohol filled abyss....

Will you provide a short list of teams that were not dependent on their best player and one of the top scorers in their league? Why would you suggest that our ceiling will be determined in early December when in each of our last two seasons we were playing our best ball at the end of February?

For those keeping track at home: Efficiency rankings updated the day after each of the last games (O= offense, D= Defense): 11/20: O 94 / D 104 11/23: O 66 / D 103 11/27: O 87 / D 79 BTW, the last time GT finished ranked in the top 100 in both offensive and defensive efficiency was the...

When does Pastner un-cork the zone? We've only dabbled with the zone here and there but have predominantly played man-to-man (with so-so results). So, what is the deal here, is Pastner holding back playing our signature amoeba zone because: a. He is transitioning to being a Primarily...
