And unlike last year, Charleston and UNCW at home (although, with all of the offseason player movement, who knows in August who'll be good or bad next year?)

Re: Anyone watching the Olympics

I have been watching. Wrestling is a part the Olympics. Agree though, it would have been nice to see baseball and softball as well, although I think the IOC may have wanted to cap the total number of different sports and disciplines. They could have even had baseball and softball Iowa-style, here: h...

Re: 2023 NIT

Nobody seemed to be mentioning the fact that Villanova is in the NIT but what's worth mentioning is they're unseeded and have to go on the road to play Liberty! What! Nobody can rest on their laurels and it seemed not to long ago they were winning a National Championship with Jay Wright. So while N...

Re: Next Year's Team

Truth is, we don't yet know what we have. Does anyone see our next JWF, Estrada or Thomas on the roster? We might be a team that has two or three moderate scorers (10-12 ppg) instead of one lead dog (20+ ppg). I'll also be interested to see how our frontcourt talent develops. That can work and it w...

Unless I missed another appearance, Estrada got about 1/2 a second of celebrating in the one shining moment montage.
Two for him and one for Tyson Walker.

Nothing guarantees success. But try winning without having some sort of NIL collective going forward and see how difficult that would be.

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Estrada has been a little sloppy tonight. A bit careless with the ball and he's missed two rims on bank shots and a few of those short midrange jumpers that are usually money in the bank for him. 2-3 on 3s though and leads the team in shot attempts. He only had two turnovers though. I thought Alaba...
