Man, that’s a fun lineup they got. I’m going to have to go to Charlotte now …

It is, but like us, how quickly are they gonna gel if at all. Game 2 for both teams.

College football season simply means EPL on Saturday and NFL on Sunday

As expected.

He misspelled it, it’s “Coach NIL”.

Interesting look at one aspect of Marquette’s offense. My takeaway is that you can have a very effective offense with spacing that’s not ideal from NBA standards (Marquette’s big is kinda just in the middle of the floor) if you run multiple actions in a possession with purpose. They do smartly empty the strongside corner and attack away from the opposing big, putting pressure on the defender covering the weakside corner (most likely a smaller perimeter player) to provide rim help.

Deeper dive on Dior Johnson’s dismissal from Pitt, and the lengthy university discipline process that included appeals, hence why it dragged out most of the year.

Noncon opponent Aggies at 15 on the 3MW countdown. Too high, IMO. Buzz has kind of set his precedent with this team: will struggle in noncon, do well in the SEC, and will implode during the first weekend.

But how will playing this game affect our chances of eventually landing Henry Coleman?

Eh. If they can somehow make money off it for the schools relative to the NIT, then it might get traction.
