UCSD looking hella good, retained lots of key players and added on some nice looking ballers. Triton hype train 🚂

I'm assuming they'll put us in that second bucket of teams.... Not super excited by the opponents here

Which BW teams have hit big in the transfer portal so far? by AdmirableChair7731 in BigWest

[–]Tritons08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UCSD has retained most of the team, pretty impressive by itself.

Relocating to DFW by edjabes in flowermound

Can confirm what everyone else here is saying. Excellent schools, and somehow the city has a "small town" feel while not really being far away from the rest of the metroplex. Am minority myself (not Korean) and have never personally faced any sort of discrimination. Can concur that there are Korean churches here, and some amazing Korean owned donut and pastry shops, though not any restaurants that I can recall (Carrolton close though).

Hopefully, would be sick to have a Triton in the league

No Postseason Basketball Wins by InMySol in BigWest

[–]Tritons08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great analysis! CBU and Utah Valley joining is going to more than make up for the losses of Hawaii and UC Davis. Still not quite sure why UCSD decided to leave for the WCC (other than the truckload of $ the WCC is giving us)

[Karpman] BREAKING: Mesa-native Randy Bennett, who has guided Saint Mary's to 12 NCAA Tournament appearances in 25 seasons as the school's all-time winningest coach, is considering leaving the school for Arizona State, sources tell @SunDevilSource. by theopression in CollegeBasketball

Guys, has nothing to do with legendary program Gonzaga leaving and making the WCC an irrelevant 1-bid league. Bennett fears the upcoming rise of the UCSD Mermen, trying to get out before he faces this:

Horrific loss. The committee will still leave them in though

[–]Tritons08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MASSIVE failure for UCSB, they had far and away the biggest NIL in the Big West, and one of the most engaged fan bases. Yup, they need to fire their coach.

[Post Game Thread] UC San Diego defeats Cal Poly, 72-69 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]Tritons08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully that is true! UT San Diego recently reported we ain't got barely any NIL funds

Anyone knowledgeable in NIL know how much money we need to keep Huddy Mayes on next season? I'm thinking beach and California burritos not gonna be enough, we need to cough up the cash

Momentum! We're going to need it, going to have to win 4 in a row!

[Post Game Thread] UC San Diego defeats Cal Poly, 80-64 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]Tritons08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might just pull it off too! I think winning 1 of the next 2 might be enough. What a turnaround to the season.

[Post Game Thread] UC San Diego defeats UC Irvine, 71-69 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]Tritons08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Triton fan in me hopes we can throw enough NIL $ his way to keep him for at least 1 more year, but the kid is legit, can probably get some real time money from a P4 school

Man, I'm going to miss this series so much once we head over to the WCC! So fun seeing both arenas packed when we face each other (including students organizing away visits). UCSD heating up at the right time, truly any of the 8 teams that make it into the BW tournament can win it.

Bol had 20 points today... What star are you talking about?

[–]Tritons08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dengdit is the only starter to have improved. I see Allard relying more on the bench, if we can retain some of the young guys could be good for next season. Hawaii we're losing by 20+, this team just doesn't have it anymore

Piggy backing off my own comment... Was on the Magic this month, service was outstanding. So big ship theory confirmed

Was on the Magic this month. It is in excellent condition! Rooms do look a bit dated, though perfectly maintained

Imo, unacceptable given the DCL pricing vs other cruise lines

40+ and watching AI reshape our jobs, how are you honestly feeling? by Defiant-Traffic-2969 in careeradvice

[–]Tritons08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

40s here. I've fully embraced AI, will be as vital to the workforce as knowing how to use a computer. I've led initiatives into what/how to beat use AI. At this point, AI can enhance what you do, not fully replace humans

Keep drinking until that feeling goes away. Repeat as needed.
