The job Oats did last night was great.  There were a few times I felt they would get run off the court with their decision making and turnovers, but they made enough shots and he kept them in the game.  UNC could not keep up the defensive effort for much time after the time outs...it dragged on them.   Oats didn't overreact at all...he was thinking about all 40 minutes.  Just a great win for him in a game where I don't think they were the better team, overall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's Oats philosophy in general, even back to UB. When they don't make 3s they can get blown out. But at the same time they get hot and they put games away or can make comebacks.

Agreed, always saw him there someday. Ambitious innovators who can motivate are a rare commodity. I think he's 5-8 more years at Bama then NBA. Kentucky is the only job he'd leave for now imo. He's got the perfect ratio of resources to expectations/scrutiny at Bama.

Congrats to him on the Elite 8. That was a wildly entertaining game. And every red-blooded American I know enjoys seeing UNCheat's annual exit the tournament.

I thought Michigan but the big raise took care of that. Maybe Michigan St when Izzo is gone. 

Gonna be a NBA coach in a few years if he keeps this up.

Looks like time for next, next coach in.

Got this in today. Maybe will start a ub in the pros wall in my basement

At my age, I don't think I qualify as the "Up and Comer" that we're hoping for.  Last I coached was a Women's team in a Church league back in 85.  Lost in the finals.

You did coach the men's team however for a long time. Overachieved with some of the guys on those rosters

Another win over the number 1 team. This time at Houston

The quote "water finds its level" is how college sports appears to me now. The players start at a power 5 or a mid major and the best mid majors will go to the power 5s and we'll get guys who couldn't get minutes at the big schools. By year 3 or 4 the guys are usually at the level they should be. 

The cancun challenge website bracket says both games will be on CBS sports network

In the old days, the conference were regional. But $$$ has changed that. This is what CBS is proposing for the conference in flux (not the MAC or MWC, which are largely already regional ).

East (10): Appalachian State, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, FAU, FIU, Marshall, Navy, Old Dominion, South Florida

South (10): Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Temple, Troy, UAB, Western Kentucky

Southwest (12): Arkansas State, Louisiana, Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Rice, SMU, Texas State, Tulane, Tulsa, UTEP, UTSA

 

I know it won't work like that but how great would the 32 team conference tourney for the auto bid be

They'll play the winner of game 3. That bracket was the week prior so pretty much you're right

Are you coaching them up?

You know how hard it was to get guys for Monday Night. Gotta find whoever I can

So to add to the confusion.  I received an email today with apparel for the teams but nothing for Blue Collar U apparel. Thinking the 7th place team in the big 12 took their spot, I went to the website and it says Blue Collar U is in the Columbus region. No other details given so I think they are in...

No foul on segu on a drive with 40 secs left but 2 tick tack fouls including 1 with a second on shot clock after an air all. These had to have been mac refs

This doesn't help either

His dad posted this earlier.

My team was

Perkins

Watt

Carruthers 

Clark

Harris

Massinburg

Jordan

Hamilton

how cool would it be to have a team of UB alum or even Western New York alum but mostly UB. I think a lineup that included our guys from the last 5 years would have a chance to do damage.

Going to Long Beach St.

It wasn’t a specific win/loss benchmark overall. It was NOT 7 home losses (7 of those in favored matchups). It was NOT missing Cleveland for the first time in since 2003. It was NOT being out played by Dartmouth and Army (again, both at home). It was NOT the lack of energy, focus and defense that we saw this year. It was NOT the lack of improvement in just about every facet of the game that the team struggled with to start the year. It was NOT the change in general energy and swagger surrounding the program with Hurley and Oats.

I didn't even realize it until you made this point. If they won even 5 of the 7 games they were favored at home, they go 25-6 and based on reputation, maybe sneak in the top 25 again.

Looks like Vanderbilt opened as a 2 pt favorite

You mean the Charlie Brown zig-zag on the shorts or you mean the gray?  Which have you not seen before?

The Charlie brown zig zag. I know they had gray last year

Screenshot from A Johnson’s insta story. Is this the first shot of the new blue jersey? I don’t care for the design of the gray - especially the shorts - but I love everything about the blue.

I kinda like the gray because I haven't seen any other schools with that design. In the past we've copied bigger schools but this might be our original design

I'm 99.999% that it's not ub but the guy's lawyer is located in buffalo.

I thought you were recruiting for your team, seeing as you only made about half of your games.
