Boutros, for a guy who claims to not know what a stacker is you seem to be popping up with a lot of info about gold. Just how many Krugerrands do you have buried in the back yard?

cincinnati gets such a weird amount of offensive rebounds for a team that doesn’t seem to be selling out for them. it makes me v jeal

VT is a very bad rebounding team so probably has more to do with that

Actually they aren’t terrible I was looking at the wrong number. But they are worse than us at it for sure

Cinci is a very old team. Sneaky pick to win the NIT

I think David’s thighs are too muscular too allow him to run?

In other MWC news New Mexico is losing by 13 at halftime to Utah Valley

there is someone near the mics in the Oregon/uci game who is yelling a lot of full sentences

I like NW but Boise might be able to take them.

I have no faith in the rest of the conference though

Credit to them using a Beastie Boys track for the background music.

What do we think of Jamie Dixon’s career? Not many coaches have made me vacillate between ā€œa pooā€ and ā€œpretty good?ā€. He took over a humming Pitt program from Ben Howland, and kept it there for awhile. It definitely started to decline on his watch, but was still a consistent tournament participant when he left.

His TCU time seems relatively historically good for the school, but just sort of mediocre generally? Obviously this is a good team this year, but I think Miles is also something different than he’s had there overall.

My only recollection of TCU basketball is that they were awful right before Dixon got there - as in averaging two wins per season in conference for four years awful, so as a coach he’s turned them around into a decent program. He’s only had three seasons out of 20 where his team had less than 20 wins so as a coach I would imagine him as ā€œsolidā€.

Personally, I admire any coach who goes back to their alma mater when the program is down to try to get them back to respectability. (I don’t know of all the details about the recent accusation of ā€œmisconduct and racially sensitive remarksā€ leveled at him by a former player so I am not going to speculate on that; it could change one’s perception of him.)
