Auburn literally could've had 20+ fouls in that half. Hate playing teams like this. They picked up 5-6 quick ones then like always happens the refs start to get whistle shy not wanting to call a foul every possession and they start getting away with murder. The way they call the games encourages this type of play. If they keep fouling just keep calling it. 

Yeah, I noticed at Duke last night all three of their post players had two fouls in the first half. Start of 2nd Broome gets his 3rd on a reach and at the 8 minute mark, their PG has four! In the Kansas/Duke game, Kansas got something like four fouls in a row and their crowd started booing. Bilas said I know they don't want to keep getting these foul calls, so quit fouling. Oh how I wish we could've got some of that love in Maui. That has always been a difference between us and Duke. If you spend 50% of dead balls and other team's timeouts in the refs' ears, it obviously makes a difference in how the game is called. EC and RJ have been beat to death over the last three games and last night they quit. It is easy to say that they need to be tougher physically and mentally, but something has to change.

My only gripes with Hubert at this point is he waited way too long to appeal to the people with money about NIL backing, he needs to press way more with this depth, and he has to give James Brown some minutes. The kid is 6'10" and went toe to toe with Flagg in high school. I know he ended up dropping forty something spots in the rankings, but he is here now and seems to be our only big man with a motor.

I know it's early in the season, but this is the worst UNC team I've seen in a long time.

We unwittingly dodged such a massive bullet when we ran out of gas and let KU comeback in that championship game. If Hubert had a title under his belt he'd probably be untouchable for at least a couple more years. But he doesn't.

      Canes vs redwings 7pm

      It's not good to leave any netminder having a bad night out there, not fair to them, not fair to the skaters still trying to win the game It's classless and shows a lack of respect, for them has a player and a human being, you aren't gaining anything, you aren't learning anything , except they just don't have it that night. I don't care if it's a multiple Vezina Winner, or a 3rd string back up, don't leave them out there to shame themselves and the rest of the team  What if Lavi left Cam in when he didn't have it, and Rod had to skate knowing he essentially has an open net at his end of the ice, would he enjoy that ?

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      If they draft Stewart at 8th, I will ask @Mr. Scot for a list of GMs and might as well ask for HC too.....

      I can't for the life of me figure out what people are seeing in Stewart on tape. If he can't just simply run around or through the OL in front of him, he's cooked. I don't see any actual moves. If he doesn't win on sheet athleticism at the point of contact he's nullified. I don't know if I've ever seen him actually beat a block once engaged. Then, even if he just blasts right past or through the OL and has a clean path to the ball it's like he's blind. He can't find the ball. He's like a bottle rocket. Yeah, he takes off fast but he's just going to go fast in a general direction. There will be no course correction. I watched quite a bit on him just because of his perceived draft evaluation and because of the wild discrepancy between measurables and production. Watch him play and it all makes since. He's a god tier physical specimen who just happens to be playing football. I don't see a football player. People need to stop falling in love with the potential and start realizing why the potential isn't translating.
