Trivializing women by calling them girls, lessening their athletic accomplishments seems a little demeaning and hateful. There is no rage, I just hope for better.

It seems there was another Ute also included in that trade, per the article.

Misogyny is hatred to women or girls. I think your faux rage is misplaced.

FFS we do not have a girls team, they a grown women. Save the misogyny for CB.

for the past couple of years, the women’s team has been much better 3-point shooters than the men’s.

This is the second time this season that I’ve watched the girls and boys play back to back, and I have to say that objectively speaking, if you like basketball like I do, the girls are just a lot more fun to watch. They make a lot more buckets, and space the floor nicely. Frankly I’m a bit amazed at how far the girls game has come. Because I…[Read more]

That’s the nicest thing I’ve heard about ESPN being called in a long time.

You’d be hard pressed to find another team who started ten (I think) QBs the past two years. I’m okay with a recruit who gets dinged for a slow 40 because he has obscenely thick and durable joints in his knees and ankles.

I will bet you 20 bucks Utah loses.

Really surprised that Colorado collapsed this season. Anyone know why? They’ve been a tournament team the last couple of seasons, right?

Regarding the selection process, I read somewhere that the NCAA only fielded 8 teams in the early days–they tried to get the best team they could from 8 different regions of the country.

The NIT field was a bit larger, and they just tried to invite the best teams regardless of location.

If no PCC teams played in the 1944 post-season, it…[Read more]

The NIT started in 1938 and the NCAA started in 1939. From what I’ve read, the first few years the NIT was definitely preferred, as there was more money involved and they played at Madison Square Garden.

The NCAA caught up a bit money-wise and started also playing at MSG in 1943. I’ve seen different arguments about the tourneys’ prestige levels…[Read more]

The NIT was a more prestigious tournament than the NCAA back in the 40’s.

Yes, there’s a big disconnect between the rankings at ESPN and those at 24/7. For example, 24/7 has Miami at #4 while ESPN has them down at #13. 24/7 has Clemson at #11 and ESPN has them at #37. Ranking inflation? I don’t know.

Thanks Miami.

247 composite, popular opinion’s best recruiting rating source, has us #44 in composite avg talent score per recruit.

By same source and metric:
We were #36 in 2024.
We were #24 in 2023.
We were #36 in 2022.

LOL..then why are you posting a comment?

You are correct! I heard a podcaster say that one of the adjustments for this team is that they aren’t used to playing in front of so many fans and aren’t used to having so much of the local media around during media sessions. In AZ, ASU’s hockey team got more fans in their shared 5,000 seat arena and the local media didn’t cover them as much. It…[Read more]
