It would be the coolest if Loyola won. Its funny but because of their run to the Final Four, we have already sort of forgot what was the biggest Cinderella in the tournament: UMBC, the first 16 seed to win

Please don't perpetuate this beyond-stupid keyzer concoction.
If he coaches another 5+ years, I would believe it. But he still seems I’m good health. He needs to retire now and enjoy being a grandfather.
Not sure about the good health. I heard he has a back problem that bothers him during the winter.If he coaches another 5+ years, I would believe it. But he still seems I’m good health. He needs to retire now and enjoy being a grandfather.
I heard something the other day where every natty winner in the last ~20 years (?), has had at least one first round nba pick on their roster. That probably doesn’t bode well for Loyola, however their style and how well they execute it, can negate the disparity in talent. I’d love to see them take down the big boys.

Yes. It was a running joke, but even G7 isn't as big of a douche as that guy. I know @dadika13 has said he's posted some pretty shitty stuff on other boards.

My prediction about the McDonald's game tonight:
Jay Williams will talk non-stop about the dook signees, mostly Zion, and what he says
will have very little to do with what is actually happening on the court.

I'm watching the McD AA game and the white kid that is coming to Carolina needs a damn hair cut, but he does look like he can play.
Well, he isn't white.
Yeah, it has basically just been let's talk about Duke as much as possible. Zion everything all the time including as they come back from every break. Form all accounts Nassir Little was one of, if not the, most impressive players all week and he doesn't start. Coby was also apparently as impressive as anyone.
Damn Nas can get up. That was a monster finish on the lob, and then a great tough finish in the paint right after
Kids don't learn how to play defense in AAU ball. That's one reason Little won't start.
Well I think lack of defense is a general rule of thumb in any level of all star game
It's not just all star games. Look at duke this past season. Bradley and Felton weren't exactly known for their D either.
Nas has a good looking stroke from 3 too. If he can make those shots consistently then he may be the rookie of the year in the ACC next year.
Not much chance we still have him in 2020 though /:

The MVP gives an impressive interview as well.
Where can I preorder a Nassir Little jersey?

They should already know how to play defense before AAU ball. These guys understandably don't want to get hurt during the summer, even though its often higher profile than their high school games. I don't blame them for not chasing down run outs or competing for every single rebound.
I agree this is how we'll start the season. But after Coby and Nas start lighting it up, they're going to make it tough to keep them out of the starting lineup. Honestly it's almost scarier to imagine these young guys coming off the bench as a unit and just running teams into the ground.
One thing is for sure. We're going to see a lot of fast pace basketball next year. We have the depth on the wings to run at full speed for 40 minutes nonstop.
Yeah I don’t disagree, just meant that an all star game is never a good indicator for someone’s defense
Coby might start around ACC play if Woods can't figure it out. The Cam/Nas situation is going to play out like the Jawad/Marvin situation. It's possible Roy decides to go small again with Cam and Nas, but I think he tries to make it work with a traditional line up at first.
Who do you think goes down to the 4 if he goes small? I'm thinking its gotta be Nas, Cam looks softer than baby shit when he's in the paint.
I’m fine with that starting lineup (with Woods and Cam in there) as long as our best 5 (which would include White and Nas) get the lions share of the minutes including crunch time minutes. There could be some value to starting Woods and Cam and trying to tread water for the first few minutes and then having White and Nas come in to hopefully blow the game open at the under 16 or under 12.
Agreed. Doesn't really matter who starts as long as the best players gets their minutes.
I can see those guys coming on early and running at full octane until they're gassed, then the starters coming back in to close out the first half. It really depends on how composed the young guys are, and how hard they work to learn the system and play defense. Nas is a scoring machine. He can get 20+ a game right now in the ACC if he gets the minutes. We have to take advantage of his skills next year, regardless of where he's at on the floor. I think he could even play the 2 at times to give rest to Kenny.
We definitely aren't going to have a hard time recognizing Coby or Nas if they keep the hair haha
