bracket challenge 2024 Bracket Challenge
jimbo replied to Eli's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
For me, the best part of March Madness is rooting for the underdogs…looking for the big upset. That makes it hard to pick winners. I’d rather lay a bet on who is more likely to win the contest on BPF. Incidentally, at Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach there’s a purple store….everything is purple. Made me feel right at home. https://www.purpleologist.com/ -
Last year they went 3-11 down the stretch….this year they went 3-11 down the stretch. All stats aside, the results were the same. Dreadful. Coaches are measured by results, not stats. The only space I give him in this is the unfortunate heart issue for the big, the Beagle disappearing act, the Neely failure to recover from the knee injury and the Jackson hand injury. They did play hard for him, but that is a lot of talent missing. So, I know they won’t fire him now, but the next season should be his last at UA unless results improve dramatically.

MBB: Game 31: UA @ Bryant 3/5 - 7:00pm

Looking at the box score it definitely looks like a game they could have won and from what I saw of it they played very hard. Then you see that they took 79 shots to 58 for Bryant and only shot 50% on foul shots. Frenetic, but inefficient play. Athletic, but not well coached or trained. Or just not talented enough overall. I’m going with not well coached. -
Aw, CW….pushed the wrong buttons? For the record, I hope every single UA team plays great and wins championships. That doesn’t mean I like to WATCH it. I don’t watch MLB either….or the NHL or the NBA. So what?? It’s my choice. And just to show you I’m not a totally bad guy, I will watch soccer….especially women’s…unlike 99. I must admit though that you can spend two plus hours watching soccer, get up to use the loo and come back to find out that the only score of the game happened while you were indisposed. Bugs the hell out of me but that’s the way it is. So take a chill pill….I guarantee you that if their daughters were not playing WLAX the parents would not be watching it either.

I was wondering if anyone was thinking that, because I was. Their ppg avg has gone up. Rebounds are down slightly. Marshall is way more aggressive blocking shots and quite honestly this is the most athletic team I’ve seen here. Not sure if it’s bad chemistry, bad fit, getting overshadowed by Sebastian and Marshall, etc, etc. in any case, Beagle seemed to not advance from where he was last year. Maybe it was the ankle…worse than they let on? He’s still on the roster and the silence is odd. Truthfully, right now I think they miss Jackson more. I was certainly expecting big things from Beagle, but the transfer portal thing left a bad taste.
