This is getting ugly. UConn next and possibly North Carolina after UConn.

This would be fine with me. It also really drove it home to see UNC stronger than us.I always said Michigan State.
The biggest surprise to me of the Tad Boyle era is that the program was built on defense and rebounding but, unlike Sparty, we have never gotten close to having a basketball team that looks like football players.
I think it's a bit of both, TBH. That said, I've never felt like Tad has ever been a guy who has really bought into the new era of what basketball players have become. Jase Richardson (Fr) standing next to Hammond (Sr) last night was freakin' sad to look at.How much of that is recruiting versus S&C tho?
Like Coen Carr, Jaxon Koehler, Zapala all their football typer players were recruited with that body type had nothing to do with their S&C?
Depends on whether the guards perform on that given day.I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning ... would this roster compete with the top 4 teams of the MWC?
Weren't there 2 players that just signed for the 2025 class that said a large part of why they singed was the S & C program? I did a double take when I read thatI always said Michigan State.

Soooo, maybe changes have been made?Weren't there 2 players that just signed for the 2025 class that said a large part of why they singed was the S & C program? I did a double take when I read that
Tease it down, lay the points then take the Memphis ML. Parlay and profit.Getting 14.5 against UConn. That's a bad line.
I have updated the original post with links to more info on UConn and today's game with them, which is now ~2-1/2 hours away from tipoff.
Cesar Millan the Huskies!
you missed the first 7 minutes. They looked OK early on. Unfortunately it is a 40 minute gameI wasn't home yet and forgot it was on once I got home. Reading the thread just now, I think it's safe to assume that I didn't miss anything.
They should have lost by 30 yesterday. I expect this to be a 25+ point game today. If Michigan State knew how to shoot yesterday would have looked really bad.Getting 14.5 against UConn. That's a bad line.
Tad needed a challenge, so he assembled a mediocre group?
I'm no expert, but it seems like he could have gotten better transfers (we had 3 guys drafted) and maybe have kept Luke or Eddie (if possible).
Tad should have retired after last season. How does a coach show-up with this pathetic roster for the program's first year in the most difficult basketball conference in the country?
I just don’t think there’s examples of MSU has strengthened their players at a better rate/way then CU.I think it's a bit of both, TBH.

Also, Frankie Fricken Fidler was bigger and stronger than our entire roster sans Malone and he's spent his entire career at Omaha.
I'm probably naive.Tad should have retired after last season. How does a coach show-up with this pathetic roster for the program's first year in the most difficult basketball conference in the country?
Tad didn't need to bring in a stronger group, he simply needed to bring in one more player. A PG with a solid game from a solid program. I see a ton of stud mid major guards who transferred into random azz programs in the offseason and it says to me this wasn't about money. That's why I'm so damn disappointed in Tad.I'm probably naive.
We have CU BB alums who are NBA GMs, coaches and great players - 3 drafted last year. Tad is well-known, liked and respected in the profession. And, we play in the toughest conference.
I hope the team we have is successful, but I'm mystified that Tad didn't bring in a stronger group.
The coaches shirts are different than any I've seen on any website.I believe those were Tommy Bahama which are very pricey but I've also seen another brand on either the team store or Fanatics that looks very similar and is significantly cheaper
On one hand he's got a point, these refs have it in for him and his team him today. On the other hand, if he hadn't been such a b!tch yesterday this whole thing would be moot.Hurley and his team sure do complain a lot.
