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.

dP - While I agree that UCONN didn't fit in the American, despite being the closest school to the league offices at the time in Providence, don't be throwing shade on Tulsa.

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...

Nice showing by TT. Could have and came very close to winning. Hope this opens some eyes to what a good shooter he his. He might have won without that "turnover" on the second rack in the final. Somehow, he lost the ball adit rolled away, so he was short a ball. They tried to make up for ...

Re: Estrada @ Alabama

Thomas hit 11 straight in the semifinals and had the best score (26) of the entire competition that round, but he lost to Nebraska's Tominaga, 19-17, in the final. Goes to show what a good shooter Thomas can be when he wasn't forcing shots and would get good looks! The offense should have tried to c...
