it's a classic case of conflict of interest, no matter what other "controls" they put in place. and as you have correctly identified, that's a massive eyeroll of a control anywayThe vice chair said he wasn't even allowed in the room for any discussions involving unc. I agree it seems like they shouldn't even be allowed on the committee. At least get people who get no financial compensation. Even if he's not in the room, he's the chair, and all those people know what he wants.
Dude...when you take away our ability to play tough physical defense...you mortally wound this team period.
It changes the way we do everything...for the worse.
When they let us play OUR defense...we win...when they take it away from us...we lose.
Like I said in the post you responded to, and I stick by it..when you take a teams greatest strength away, you take their ability to win.
For us..that is suffocating physical defense...everything we do is predicated on that.
The other seven teams in Lexington are:UT should have a big crowd advantage in Lexington. Tickets are cheap too.
What's the difference between expecting and thinking we'll win?Just thinking of this...
With Tony V & baseball I expect us to win, with Rick Barnes and basketball I think we'll win, and Josh Heupel (right now) I'm back to hoping we'll win.
And that's in matchups with good teams...I expect us to beat any lesser teams in all 3 sports.
UK is pretty banged up. Robinson, who wrecked us in the first game, is done. Butler can’t stay healthy. Carr has back problems.Only 2 things I dislike about our bracket…we have to possibly play UK to get to elite 8 (we don’t match up well with them for some reason), and we have to play Thursday instead of getting one more day of rest.
Shoot, Louisville fans will probably be cheering for us too. We can knock out UK in the S16 better than the other options.The other seven teams in Lexington are:
Auburn
Alabama State/St Francis play-in winner
Louisville
Creighton
Wofford
UCLA
Utah State
We will have the second highest turnout next to Louisville. And they will be in the morning session while Vols are in evening one.
May not be a lot of them that buy tickets for both the morning and evening sessions on Thursday but, in the second round two game session on Saturday, the Louisville fans might root for us over a west coast team.Shoot, Louisville fans will probably be cheering for us too. We can knock out UK in the S16 better than the other options.
