That guy is fun to watch!

about two previous no names making the Final Four. The first is Jacksonville and only because of FL. Jackson had a clear figure NBA Starr in Artis Gilmore as well as a second 7 footer with NBA potential. No FAU player stands out that way.

The second is George Mason coached by Jim Larranaga in 2006. Like FAU, that team was a very well coached unit that had been worked into being much better than its parts suggested it had any chance to become. With that runs to the Final Four at va mid-Major, Larranga still was ignored by Major conference teams hiring a new HC. When a Major conference program finally hired him for 2011-2012, not ws not a team with a basketball history. It was Miami, which had less basketball history than even Clemson.

When Dusty May took over FAU, which is his first HC job, FAU had less basketball history than Miami had when Larranaga took over the Hurricanes. And now is only his 5th season as HC, May has the Owls in the Final Four. May is not going to be FAU coach longer than a couple more seasons.

of College BB as we’ve known it! NIL and the portal will continue to reshape the landscape of CBB. The product is increasingly becoming inferior to its past, but the advertising $$$ will increase. I won’t be be watching.

perimeter defense, making certain the Zags are getting no good looks from the 3.

Davis needs to figure out how to emulate what UConn is doing on defense.

is that Jim Larranaga is still coaching and is, even at his age, much better than the vast majority of box-checking, grossly over-hyped bozos hired at Major conference programs over the past decade or more. So the ACC had 1 team in the Sweet 16, which now is in the Elite 8.

One bad thing is the the Big East has returned with a vengeance. The young here may have never learned how many weekly viewers BE basketball once had, much less that it became open talk, even as Michael Jordan was still brand new in the NBA, that some day the BE could put ACC basketball totally out of existence in terms of taking top northeastern players and coaches.

Danny Hurley is the most likely next huge coach in the BE. UConn looks not just like a winner this year but like a program built for a king and very bright future. The BE needed UCOn to return as much as UCOnn basketball needed to be in the BE.

Also very promising for the BE is that Shaka Smart seems much more comfortable and competent at Marquette than he did at Texas. Perhaps being back home makes all the difference for him. George McDermott clearly can keep Creighton a winner, year after year. Sean Miller has Xavier back close to its best.

The big question for this surprisingly deep BE after Jay Wright's retirement is: could the remaining part of the old core get back to their heights? Georgetown hopes that Ed Cooley can win bigger there than he did at Providence, which was good for Providence. St Johns is betting that Rick Pitino has one more big run in him. If both those happen, and Providence does not fall off the map, then BC basketball will be totally irrelevant in its own region, rather like Holy Cross, and even Syracuse could be pushed down a number of notches. If Adrian Autry turn out to be even a bit closer to Kenny Payne for Louisville than to Hubert Davis for UNC as the BE is rising, then Syracuse basketball could become a regional after thought.

He had fallen in with a sketchy felon handler/mentor, who moved Dillingham across country to Kanye's school. There was a big kerfuffle when Dillingham's dad claimed no one told him his son was moving out of state. Then Dillingham committed to NC state, then decimmitted a few months later. Then he committed to UK. Then Kanye's school shut down and all the players scrambled to figure out what to do.

Look what I just found on Twitter.

If Coach Davis wants to play small ball so that the team looks like Baylor with three shooters I feel playing Love at the three would be a tremendous idea.

For those who can remember McCants he was a nightmare when he played the three for Carolina. He use to post other forwards up as he was too quick for most of them to cover and he was deadly on corner jumpers.

Love is very quick and his baseline moves would mean easy baskets or free throws. Unlike Black and Nance Love is not scared to drive and he is someone defenders would have to respect from a wing position…Your take on this idea…
