    If Austin is starting, it means Capel has failed to completely upgrade the starting roster or he's not deploying the troops properly. He's a role player. I would much rather roll with SMF's 3 guard lineup than have Austin starting at the 3.

    Seriously, who comes up with this cr*p? What have Davis and Scheyer proven to be so high on this list??

    Corhen Commits to PITT

    Vader, do you think Kante can play the 4 at all? I seem to recall some discussion about that. A lot of posters don't think GDG can play there. But having Corhen, Kante and GDG for one position does not seem ideal. Something has to give. Interesting insights on Corhen here, btw...

    Corhen Commits to PITT

    That’s where roster flexibility comes in. If there is a bad matchup, you deploy someone else. Is Dunn a good 3-point shooter? He seemed to be mediocre. I think you need guys who can hit from deep on the perimeter. Lowe should be good. Ish is just ok from 3 and is more Burton-like in terms of...

    Corhen Commits to PITT

    A wing who can shoot the 3 is our biggest need at this point, IMO. I’m not as down on the idea of GDG at the #4 as some others. He would give us a big size advantage there and he has shown he can shoot from 3. I doubt anyone we bring in through the portal to play that spot will be a better...

    Corhen picks up crystal ball to pitt

    Not sure how he could be a worse rebounder than Fede who was almost a zero when it comes to grabbing boards.

    Mark Pope to Kentucky

    I would think Pope should be able to get Christ Essandoko to flip from his commitment to Providence. 😉😁

    Bub gone?

    PSN interviewed Capel and one takeaway I had on that was the Pitt is sort of at a disadvantage in 2 ways with NIL. We're never going to have the money that some of the big-name schools have to fund both bball and football. And at the same time, we are competing against basketball-only schools...

    UConn vs Purdue Gamethread

    Unfair to say he's been outclassed. He's the main reason Purdue has any chance. I agree he looked gassed toward the end of the 1st half but that's because he has to carry so much of the load for them.

    UConn vs Purdue Gamethread

    Game going pretty much as expected. Edey with an edge over Clingan but UConn just has a better supporting cast.

    Cam Cohren?

    But that makes no sense. NC State's resume was worse than ours, fcol. They just got hot at the right time.

    After all the dust settles ...

    The flip side is if Edey can't handle Clingan and he gets into foul trouble. In which case, UConn could win by 30.

    Cam Cohren?

    You originally said: "There are zero bubble teams playing this weekend." That statement was basically incorrect given that NC State was less than a bubble team and was already in the Final Four. You also said: "Bubble teams aren't winning the tournament." Unlikely? Yes. Impossible? I...

    This coming season's roster, part 600

    Ideally, we are getting another guard through the portal, so we have a 4-man rotation. Cummings can then get acclimated coming off the bench. If need be, we use a 3-guard lineup. This is where the loss of Dior hurt last year. We could have been deadly in the backcourt (1-3). Instead, we had to...

    Cam Cohren?

    I understand that. But NC State was worse than a bubble team. Yet, they've made it to a Final Four and have a chance to win it all still. It runs counter to your statement.

    Cam Cohren?

    Huh? NC State wouldn't have even been in the tourney without winning the ACCT.

    Personally, I think the goal should be to have 5 starters who are all threats to consistently put the ball in the basket. I don't think that describes Austin. He is and should be a bench/role player.
