Like I mentioned above. All he has to do to keep a 7 figure job is to be better than �meh�. I have no idea what part of Georgia basketball history makes people think otherwise. Outside of Dominique Wilkins and the freak SECT win last decade Georgia basketball has been bad to mediocre at best. The only thing the school cares about is Kirby Smart morphing into Nick Saban.

UK's 3-pt streak ends after an NCAA record 1047 games. Last game without a 3 was November 26, 1988. Judging by Twitter people are legit upset about it, because our fan base is insane. I actually think it's pretty impressive to score 78 points and win without hitting one. And any win in March is better than keeping a cool but overall meaningless steak alive.

I think the fear is that you want them to practice now because they're not getting much farther without 3's. At least they caught a huge break with Arizona out.

I'm kind of surprised the SEC stayed intact through Day 1. Just seemed like one of these teams should have lost.

They only attempted like 6 or 7 all game. It seems to me like it was a game plan thing for the Davidson game.

Apparently Hardaway has been successful with his high school and AAU teams, but it seems like he just out-talents everybody and doesn't need to out-scheme anyone, so who knows... Also it looks like he wants to bring Larry Brown on his staff.

I'd give him more than a year to turn that program around. They were in a lot of games this year and he's recruited well. I bet they're in the top half of the Big East next season.

DC Murderverse: Nov 10, 2016; "Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I bet this guy has a job waiting for him at FS1 whenever he's done coaching.

quote:

Apparently, you can add Stephen F. Austin Team 2017-18 to the long list of things that millennials have ruined.

The 14th-seeded Lumberjacks� upset bid of third-seeded Texas Tech fell apart in the second half of a 70-60 NCAA tournament loss Thursday in Dallas. They led by eight early in the second half and held that lead until four minutes remained, when the wheels fell off. Stephen F. Austin would score two more points the rest of the game.

Coach Kyle Keller was understandably upset at this turn of events, and he blamed millennials. His team of college students is lousy with them, apparently.

�The millennials today, they don�t even watch college basketball,�� he said after the game, per USA Today. �A lot of our guys didn�t even know who those cats [Texas Tech players] were because they don�t watch the game. They�re on their phone and doing that kind of stuff.

�I hate to say it, but as much as you or I or anybody in here watches the games, they don�t. Or the NBA. They might watch the slam-dunk contest in February on TNT or whatever, but that�s about the extent of it.�

The 50-year-old Keller�s job, then, is to try to form a bond with his young charges, who might not even be millennials anymore, but rather some newly named group of people who will proceed to ruin everything. Green beans are the answer, apparently.

�If I don�t read it and study it and learn and try to figure these kids out, I have no chance to coach. � Because the way I was taught as a child was, �Hey, you are going to eat what is on your plate, if not, you�re going to sit here.� I had to sit at the kitchen table one Saturday afternoon because I didn�t want to eat green beans or salmon patties.

�So we have a lot of green beans on our team meals, and I tell that story to our guys. But you have to adjust. You�d better learn to give and some take with these kids, I think.��

To be fair, Keller did say he felt bad for his seniors, who have been part of the most successful run in program history. The Lumberjacks have made the NCAA tournament in four of the past five seasons, even upsetting West Virginia as a No. 14 seed in 2016 before falling to Notre Dame by a single point in the round of 32.

�It�s a hard time to really collect my thoughts,� he said, per the AP. �We had three great seniors who came together. A lot of tears in the locker room after the game because of how much invested they had in our university. The thing I think that they did was we�ve been living off everybody else that had been before us, the players and coaches that had come before us.�

So let's lay it out.
UVA played the 6th hardest schedule in the country.
They didn't give up over 70 points all year.
They lost 2 games all season and easily won an ACC over the likes of Duke, UNC, Miami, NC State, and Clemson.
UMBC lost by about 50 to Albany two months ago.

This isn't like loving Gonzaga laying an egg after playing Pepperdine all season. UVA has gone against the best all year.

I'm in disbelief. What on earth?

One game samples are inherently flukey but it is pretty comfortably the lowest variance of the major sports because there are so many scoring chances and good individual players have an outsized influence
