Yeah. I'm having reservations about VT over UVA, too.

Went with 22. I think it really depends how quickly the guys jell. By the end of the season, you want your best 8, maybe 9, guys getting most of the minutes. It's not easy playing 10 dudes in most games unless you have to.
same. specifically, I think UVA is a stronger team than VT
oops, didn't page forward to see Nik's response

Between Hadley and Kin can Tad solely recruit MN prep players? Honestly not a bad pipeline to start though. Midwesterners love Colorado and MN is a great basketball state.
Tad's getting to the point where it's "take the CO preps good enough for this level and nationally recruit" while we see classes averaging Top 25.
My thoughts from last night:
Hadley shocked me with how good he is. He’s pretty explosive and athletic.
We are small. That will limit us I think. We are deep but 10-12 guys without much star power.
KJ struggled at times. Ruffin could see a lot more playing time. It’s not clear to me who is our best point guard at this point. Might turn out to be Hammond He has made up a lot of distance for sure.
Lawson improved but still gets too excited and it throws off his offensive game. He needs to make a few to up his confidence.
Can Allen be the guy who can score when we need one? We need that guy.
Rebounding was a problem last night.

That's what having a great teammate looks like, straight up.
Love this kind of stuff. I'm woefully ignorant regarding the technical aspect of basketball strategy -- enjoy learning through these types of examples.
That's Albuquerque for ya, smdh.
Worse - when Las Cruces and ABQ collide.
I have so many scary ABQ stories from my youth. Had two fraternity brothers from there and would go down to visit and party. Never had a night end without some sketchy sh!t happening.
Area near campus has gotten much worse, locals tell me.
ASU beat Grambling by 31 last night. SMFH
We'll probably beat ASU by 10 on 12/1. It's going to be a weird year in college basketball.
Tad, on dealing with players after the tournament:
“You’ve got to piss your players off. It’s OK for them to be pissed at the coach. If they’re not pissed at me, I’m probably not coaching them hard enough. All three losses, we physically got punked. So you show them that on film. You challenge them. You piss them off. You do whatever you can to light a fire under them and say we’re not going to let this happen again.”
He ragged on TDS and Gabbadon (sp) for their weak rebounding
