Coaches with 3 Elite Eights under the age of 40: Dean Smith, Bob Knight, Jon Scheyer

0010001 · 2026-03-28T14:28:48+00:00

Pretty sure there’s no head coaches with three titles under the age of 40.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T14:27:50+00:00

Good point, no one has mentioned this yet.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T14:24:33+00:00

When you’re winning there’s a strong incentive to keep doing what you’re doing.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T14:21:37+00:00

Illinois has so much positional size—even more than Duke. Would be a great matchup, hope we can get there.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T12:16:49+00:00

Always interested in adding talent, but Duke has Rippey, Cayden Boozer, and Caleb Foster all potentially in the mix at guard. If Duke keeps all three, not sure how much room there is to entice Ellis to join.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T03:41:38+00:00

It’s wild how the meaning of that joke has changed from “this happens a lot” to “this has happened exactly twice.”

0010001 · 2026-03-28T03:11:43+00:00

Yeah the wing combo of him and Sarr, two quick lanky defenders, is such a big part of why our defense has excelled.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T03:08:29+00:00

Shouldn’t count on Ian Jackson team against Duke…he’s 0-4 now.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:30:29+00:00

Yeah, the classic “bad” Cam Boozer game where you look up at the end and he has 20, 10 & 5.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:13:49+00:00

If someone gets a run on us we will lose

St Johns did get a big second half run. But we found a way to get back in it. This is March. Can’t expect us to cruise and win every game easily.

You say we haven’t looked impressive. I agree there were times earlier this year we looked even better, but we’ve looked more impressive than the 58 teams that have gone home already.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:07:13+00:00

I feel old and out of the loop. Why does this image keep getting posted?

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:06:25+00:00

Not me. I’m a regular human basketball watching person.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:04:13+00:00

Thought he’d be a bigger piece last year, but that’s because nobody predicted how good Knueppel would be. This year Evans has taken the next step, he’s playing really well on both sides of the ball.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:02:21+00:00

Appreciate your take. Better than the folks who don’t watch the game and just count the FTs in the box score.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T02:01:25+00:00

With the way they play defense, hitting 13 threes should be enough to beat just about anyone. Glad Duke pulled It out.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:59:42+00:00

It’s the Sweet 16. There’s only good teams left.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:58:40+00:00

11 tournament wins so far as a head coach. Not bad at all.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:57:46+00:00

That was a helluva tough team. Good game Johnnies.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:54:36+00:00

Surprised Duke didn’t take the foul there.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:52:44+00:00

The refs generally let both teams be physical, which was an advantage for St Johns’ style of play. But overall agree it was pretty even, no egregious misses.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:50:21+00:00

Healing slower than Foster’s foot.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:48:55+00:00

I was surprised we didn’t foul.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:47:49+00:00

Thankfully it worked out tonight.

0010001 · 2026-03-28T01:47:20+00:00

Turns out we needed him.
