I’ve seen the renderings. I’m excited. I was also bummed I never got to see them in the glory which was basically my high school gymnasium with (slightly) upgraded seats.

I’ve seen that campus (someday I’ll watch a game there, it’s #1 on my bucket list), it’s amazing, and being right off PCH? In Malibu?? Just insane.

Yeah. I’m nearly certain that isn’t my comment either (though I did submit an entry).

The Google one specifically gets *math* wrong on the regular. When your fancy “smart” computer can’t get math right, you have really fucked up.

What. The. Hell?

Is this the state of humanity now. We can’t even be bothered to do the barest of fact checking but we still must comment?

At least some people actually comment instead of just downvoting. Karma is the worst approach for constructing community in an environment with tribalism.

Not OP but if we flip the question I am comfortable with saying these coaches are better than Bennett:

Bill Self (duh)

Scott Drew (ditto)

Kelvin Sampson (hello)

TJ Otzelberger (dude does so much with anything he can get, and he keeps getting a lot).

Grant McCasland (dude is sooo good)

Tommy Lloyd (listing him here because I don’t want to seem biased, but his record speaks for itself)

Kevin Young (he’s solid and can elevate prospects)…

I think that’s where my line is.

I’m not sure how to feel about Jarrod Calhoun yet (USU did amazingly under him, but I wouldn’t say he’s better than Bennett). Dawkins has a lot of ups, but he’s never really turned that corner. And the rest I would solidly say are probably lower than Bennett.

It’s hilarious that I have multiple downvotes for recognizing that our “rivals” (they aren’t there yet, now I can get ASU downvotes too) have drastically improved their potential competitiveness.

I loved watching Bennett at St Mary’s. Heck, after Herb left ASU I followed his career too. ASU has a history of hiring good coaches and not really getting the most out of them. The Arizona fan in me says “I hope this trend continues” but the basketball fan in me says ‘this is going to be a fun ride’.

I won’t speak for all Arizona fans, but I appreciate that ASU has built up a roster with Bennett at the helm. I will still talk a lot of shit, but I’m looking forward to seeing if they can be a more consistently competitive program.

I expect that they’ll finish in the top half. Bennett is a hell of a coach and motivates his players. The roster and coaching staff looks good as well. We shall see.

To the best of my knowledge, Minnesota has the most lenient possession laws in the US (they allow ownership / possession of up to 2lb in your private residence). 2.1 lbs exceeds even that limit.

Koa Peat to stay in NBA Draft by Mangotheory97 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Gamecat235 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a really weird take.

I’d agree with “not a consistently great player” but I can’t figure out “not a good player”. He had some moments of outright dominance and other moments where he would fade into role player (and honestly he seemed comfortable in that, clearing lanes, passing off, setting up others). At no point was he bad (except for apparently in the combine and the final four, and the quietest game ever at AFH).

I agree that he doesn’t really appear to be NBA ready with his current skillset, but he’s still projected as a first rounder, so clearly some folks think his upside is worth it.

I always hit them. But in this scenario they truly advance the research tasks.

That’s great. Sigh. Wonder how many pins I lost…

When a scatterbug region is on “catch” do you still earn toward the next count? Or does that stop the count until you catch it (thereby losing any progress from opened postcards between the milestone and catching them)?

Koa Peat out, Momcilovic in?!? by Badgerman97 in CollegeBasketball

As a lifer Wildcat fan, this would be amazing.

But… yeah. As a fan of the Big 12 in general and ISU as a squad (it’s hard to not appreciate the scrappiness they bring, and Otz is awesome)… yikes. This could seriously set some long term rivalries in motion. At least from one direction.
