Final Four?

remind me again how many titles John Wooden had. Wake me when someone passes him....
Yeah that’s never gonna happen, but on the flip side he’d never win that many titles if he were coaching today. It’s not even the same world really.

I am not so sure about that. He recruited as well as anyone ever has, and was the best coach around. His attention to detail was astonishing. Fact.....his first practice every year was spending HOURS showing the kids how to put on their socks!

Oh he would be a very good coach today no question about that. With the NCAA tournament the way it is today it’s very unlikely even John wooden could win it 10 times.
 
Well coach K has won 5 but I do think John Wooden have equaled that. Above all else John Wooden was a great teacher.
Yep and I think coach K will probably be the last coach that wins that many titles. When K retires Rick Pitno will be the only active coach with multiple titles.

Saban has won 7 titles in today’s world. KC should just admit his oversight and move on. Good grief
 
You argue over the dumbest of things
Who is arguing? We were talking about basketball national titles and someone chimed in with Nick Saban and called me out, so I’m asking did Nick Saban change sports. Perhaps he did.
 
We can beat Purdue. Part of Baylor's problem was the officials didn't let them play like they do in the big 12. It's just the culture of the conference. But when the other team is in the bonus with 12 minutes to go in the half, it's hard. If we can bully them on offense and make shots, we'll be fine; if they call ticky-tack stuff early, we may be screwed
Correct, these worthless officials run the sport.

As a side note, we own Purdue and UNC.
 
John wooden would succeed in today's world-- with the NIL. Because Sam Gilbert was the key to that whole deal. Ol' woody turned a blind eye and acted surprised and hurt that after 16 years all of a sudden the best players in America were showing up at his door. As marques Johnson said "if I played well, we won; if I didn't play well, we still won." NO WAY you could get by today without scouting your opponents, like wooden did.

Baylor looks like they weren't ready to play today. Very disappointing. That's what happens when you think you're entitled because you're the defending champ. They're getting pushed around pretty good. No physicality from them at all. Make them feel you!
Baylor missed Mark Vital in this game.

I’m not gonna lie to you - this one hurt. So let’s go horns - win tomorrow and anything is possible!
@diadevic I don't know if this will make you feel any better but your lady bears are a #1 seed and looked good the other night. Well find out if your new coach is a big game coach.

Iowa State takes down Wisconsin. Really bad day for the big 10. Let’s see if we can make it worse.

Ramey guards Ivey and then you double their post guy. If they can do that reasonably well, and Jones continues to shoot well we will have a fighting chance.
 
Watching the officials root for B1G teams is sickening. They are trying to give the game to Wisconsin over Iowa State. I expect the same tonight.
Wisconsin basically playing a home game too. That shouldn’t happen. Committee had to do a better job
 
Great start by Carr, Jones and Ramey. If Beard doesn’t give Bishop some help it’s gonna be a long night for him
 
Nice job by Brock drawing the charge. Not sure you want him on their big guy though
 
Offense has gone dormant. So far Beard is refusing to double the post guys. Better start scoring if that’s going to be your strategy
 
And just like fvcking clock work--


The second I say anything nice about this team they start plating like a one legged man at ass kicking contest.

It’s clear to me that the game plan is to make Edey and Williams beat us. No way they allow Ivey to beat us. Anybody but him. So far he’s not gone off. He’s going to get his at times but didn’t let him beat you.
