I think it's Carmelo Anthony. Everywhere he goes kills the team.

I wouldn't disagree but 

OKC screwed up letting Harden go. I think they would be a better team if they had kept Harden and Durant and let Westbrook go.

Hmm, well he has one year left on his deal which is at a very team friendly price and will be 30 next year.  I consider Foles and Kennum pretty much the same kind of QB so I'd wait to see what kind of market developed for Kennum and go from there.  I can't see him fetching more than a 4th round draft pick.

Hopefully he's the one throwing the food, then you probably have a good chance of it being off target.

If we beat Michigan I am very ok if we dont have to face MSU. Losing to Wisconsin wouldnt be ideal especially if they win the whole thing but I think we matchup ok with Wisconsin. Outside of Happ they arent all that scary.

@Minnesota_husker Yeah but then I'd have to watch that shoulder guy from Wisconsin flop all over the floor

@GSG Sad thing is he went to my Highschool and I actually think he is a great kid... Super competitive, but boy does he flop a lot.

Most coaches remind players that every possession counts.  One mistake, lack of focus for even a few seconds or one smart thing learned by watching film can make the difference in a game and sometimes a season.  Kansas, Creighton, 1st PSU game and OSU were all winnable.  We have done well in other games though where we finished strong.  

And two points away from being a tourney lock.

Who knows, maybe beating Kansas would have made the team cocky and over confident, and then maybe they would've dropped a couple more games.

Have you seen Moneyball? Subscribe to Sabermetrics? 

Defense is worthless. 

(Reading the book right now, and just read two chapters about why the A's chose not to value defense lol)

Depends on the team’s identity. Defense isn’t worth much if the pitching isn’t there. The Royals won a World Series with relief pitching and defense. I think small market teams have to exploit the weaknesses of their division 

Feels like a loss. Maybe worse.

We did lose the game. Literally.

Same

You should be blaming Presti. He screwed the pooch at an all-time level with this roster and franchise. 

I don't mind Donovan, its Melo who has continually fallen up short when it matters that bothers me. I'm afraid not a lot of teams would be willing to give up young talent for him unless they are desperate for an older star. 

Are you a traditionalist? - 22 wins, 11 losses - Looks good, give him an extention

Are you into analytics? - 1 Q1 win, few good advanced metrics - Do we put up with another year?

Are you big on final results? - no NCAA tourney, 1st round NIT loss - Moos, who's on your shortlist?

He should get 1 more year.

It'd be funny if Miss. State or Penn St. won the NIT and Michigan won the championship.

I still can't figure out why we played Miss State in the 1st round on their home court.  Weren't we both two of the higher seeds in the NIT?  Weird.  

Finally some good Royals news 

Same agent as Hoz? 

What'd the pay him?

Maybe this year will be ok for the royals after all. I’d rather have a hungry moose than a contract fat hosmer 

Watch parties are held at Fox and Hound at the KOP Mall (King of Prussia).

And, you have my condolences.  Philly sucks.

Need Zona not to cover tonight. They can win, but not cover.

Haha the line was generous, I should have bet UCLA to cover as well. Luckily I didn't bet on the game, just wanted Zona to win to help our case getting in the tourney. 

Our help from Zona just got bRUINed.  :/

Yikes what I do to you..

@redout22 not directed toward you, toward ridiculous metrics they use now

Haha ok good deal! Totally agree with you though. 

I'm all aboard the bandwagon

Will he leave for the draft? I hope not. He’s not ready in my opinion. 

He's projected at end of the first round. No reason for him to come back next year since we aren't going to be very good

Oh man. That was sick. 

I was surprised when I heard she had a long time illness.

....is this Valentine's Day related?
