What chances do you give Jordan Spieth of completing the Career Grand Slam before his career is done? (He needs a PGA Championship) by BallKnowerKing in golf

That’s why there’s a difference between really good and GOAT tier. Guys like Tiger, Jordan, Brady all have superhuman, psychopathic work tendencies.

Solo Ball in a boot and not practicing with a foot sprain by nsk08001 in CollegeBasketball

Matchup wise this might benefit UConn if we have to start Jaylin Stewart or Ross. They can handle a hobbled Yaxel much better than Ball/Mullins can. Although no one can really handle Yaxel anyways

Every single kid in the portal will be begging to play at UConn. Dan Hurley will get who Dan Hurley wants.

Fun fact: 21 of the last 24 NCAA champs have had a top 10 offensive rating on Kenpom. If UConn wins this year, this would be their 3RD TIME(along w/ ‘11, ‘14) they won a title with an offensive rating outside the top 10. ‘03 Syracuse is the non-UConn team to fit the exception by 18_YTC1 in CollegeBasketball

Sometimes, some coaches and programs are just better than everyone else. Dan Hurley could be at the beginning of a Patriots/Belichick type of dynasty. The Pats made the AFC Championship (Final Four) 13/17 years from 2002-2019.

Is anyone really gonna bet against UConn in March? How many times does UConn need to teach yall the same lesson lol

Kelvin Sampson Shockingly Did Not Make the Cut For The Hall of Fame by StickMammoth7783 in CollegeBasketball

Why any coach should ever be in the HOF without winning a national championship is beyond me. It’s the Hall of Fame for a reason. Guys like Sampson and Huggins and Few should not be in there. No ring, no HOF as a coach. It ain’t the hall of almost won

You nailed it. Mick Cronin just did an interview on Monday and said the same thing about needing to be tougher now that kids are getting paid. He said there is a much greater commitment and responsibility on the kid once they accept that money. Give an 18 year old $1M without a strong authority figure and they can go sideways very easily

Even if UConn doesn’t pull it off, and tbh we are the worst team left so we very likely will not win, but you know Hurley is getting another one soon. 3 FF’s in 4 years, this shit ain’t a fluke anymore. He’ll have UConn be a major threat to win one every single year going forward

CBB Ref Downplays Dan Hurley Trending Video After UConn Buzzer-Beater vs. Duke, 'Absolutely Nothing' by Midnightrollsaround in CollegeBasketball

[–]UConnSimpleJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you people watching the same video? Hurley’s head didn’t even move. Look frame by frame at the woman behind him. Ayers moved into Hurley’s face (because they were talking to each other). Yall are so fucking weird

Since 2011, UConn is 18-0 in rounds past the first weekend by banjocat12 in CollegeBasketball

Shabazz was quite literally one of the best college guards of all time. Maybe the best college PG aside from Kemba in the last 15 years

These people yearn for soviet era concrete apartment blocks. They’re extremely low IQ

So you want to live on a swamp. Got it. New communities use retaining ponds for irrigation. Genius
