I'd pick our bench (with Cook healthy) to win the WCC.

We have a very deep bench but the drop off from guys like Suggs, Kispert, Timme, and Ayayi is pronounced. To have a deep bench would we need...

Kispert was suspect in previous years. He wasn't finishing (especially for his size) on his drives and would hesitate on open looks. Ballo could be in better shape.

I think Dickau has some good...

The number 6th ranked team in the country with 1st team all-American Dan Dickau has to play as a 6th seed in a gym closer to the lower seeded school (Wyoming). For some reason, the game was played in...

I think we already had this conversation on this board. It was something like 'What is a blue blood and is GU one?"

When it came down to it, there are really only 4 "Blue Bloods": North Carolina,...

“Whatever you do,” cried Brer Rabbit, “Don’t throw me into the briar patch”

They are giving up 1 post season, in a down year, during a pandemic when the eligibility clock isn't ticking.

Nice...

I disagree on a few points here:

GU is not a blue blood. Championships make blue bloods.
I think Ballo has the athleticism but he's not comfortable enough with Div 1 or Few's system to take...

Guys like Suggs and Collins are the exception, not the rule. GU develops talent with guys that average 3+years in college basketball.

Ages

Ballo - 18
Strawther - 18
Harris - 18
Zakharov - 19...

This should give him a big jump on next year but don't see how he impacts this year's games.

Too bad, I'd love to take the Zags and points.

Where are you finding this? The best line I can find is Zags -3.5

I hate to say it but I think it will be even in almost all most areas with the difference being they scored 3's on their possessions where we scored 2's.

91 - 85 BU.

If we show no fear and play...

From the article:

"Despite Gonzaga's strong start and the Cavaliers' loss to San Francisco, Virginia has crept ahead of Gonzaga thanks to its better-than-expected performance against Towson to...

We don't have a strong rim protector but we are really good at the 4 and 5. It's only when you look at the caliber and depth at other positions that we look thin inside.

I don't know how we could...

Based on what happened the last time a huge school (UNC) was caught violating rules, I expect more sanctions for Pacific.

If it's true, it's hard to blame Gonzaga. With limited games available, you want opponents that help you the most.

It's a bummer to miss the in-state rivalry and I feel bad that UW lost an...

I'm one of the few that is optimistic as more data comes in.

Financial loss has not been an effective argument against shutdowns up to this point. The most that can probably be done right now is laying out a schedule and a safety plan for holding a game and...

Fear and liability.

I don't see how you can expect any college sports this year but it depends on where you are at in the stages of grief. There are a lot of people still in the bargaining stage.

You can't have a basketball forum without basketball. Looks like the GU Boards could be another casualty of the shutdown.

Didn't see this yet, thanks for posting. They aren't modifying their tuition costs; It's an accounting trick. They show room, board, and travel that are eliminated with online classes as a "savings"...

The genesis behind this is likely political having to largely do with Chinese Nationals. Once you have all international students leave the country, you have control over which students you allow...

It is a can of worms. It doesn't matter how it is, only how it is perceived. People are really scared so no debate.

Here's an article on the Value of a Statistical Live (VSL)

There are a lot of people that see others not following lock down protocols as people that are directly threatening their lives. In other words, potential murderers.

You can't participate in or...
