  1. That’s the type of story that makes me want to donate money to the program. Interesting how things have changed over the last four years. Thanks for sharing.
  2. Time to take UAB to the motherfuc*en wood shed and skull ***** those bitc*es back to the ****hole known as Birmingham. Go Bulls…
  3. Terrible way to pass away. May his family be at peace in their loss.
  4. Reggie Kohn would definitely appreciate the range our team has shown from behind the arc. Kohn was an excellent leader on the court and just a good dude in general - he also dated one of the hottest chicks on campus if I recall correctly. If anyone sees Reggie out and about, give him my best from GreenbergOpolis.
  5. Considering BYU stunned #7 KU at the Fogg, if BYU beats TCU on Saturday, BYU is going to be ranked going into next week - no getting around it. Every ranked team has won this week (as of Wednesday morning). #24 UF has a tough matchup this weekend against #18 USC. If they win tonight against Mizzou and Saturday against USC, they're not getting bumped out. Highly unlikely that USC would drop from #18 to #26 with six losses. #23 Gonzaga has the toughest schedule this week, facing a tough unranked USF squad on the road on Thursday and then they get #17 Saint Mary's on the road on Saturday. We need USF to beat Gonzaga to ensure our place in the polls. Gonzaga wins both games, they're not moving. #21 Dayton has a tough game Friday against Loyola Chicago - maybe Loyola Chicago can get some Divine intervention to give us some help. If every other ranked teams from #20 to #24 take care of business, we're going to get bumped out unceremoniously. **** Mormons!
  6. That's mind blowing to me that Larry Scott has a son that is coaching. He literally is the spitting image of the Larry I remember playing with 23 years ago. It seems like time stood still - but in reality, that makes Bulliever really f'en old... and Smazza is still banging younger broads in LA. Respect.
  7. Bubble Watch 2024: Brace yourself for NCAA tournament drama - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The Bulls are ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in program history. They're also not (currently) in Bubble Watch. Two things can be true at once. This week, South Florida broke into the men's AP Top 25. With good reason. Anyone who watched the Bulls defeat Florida Atlantic and SMU on consecutive Sundays knows USF is playing like a top-25 team. Amir Abdur-Rahim's team has won 13 straight. At 21-5 and 14-1 in American play, the Bulls have already clinched at least a share of the conference's regular-season title. Yet South Florida is nowhere to be found here at Bubble Watch. How can this be? On the measures the NCAA men's basketball committee uses to select the field, the Bulls are not yet at the same level as bubble teams. Then again, the margin between South Florida and the bubble has been shrinking for weeks. The strongest portions of USF's profile are its résumé metrics. NCAA-approved rankings such as strength of record and KPI both show the Bulls in the 60s or even in the 50s, depending on the day. These aren't stellar rankings, perhaps, but, for a team that suffered early-season losses at home to Maine and Central Michigan, they're impressive nonetheless. Conversely, South Florida is less competitive with bubble rivals in measures of team strength. Earlier this month, Bubble Watch chronicled the daunting selection odds traditionally faced by teams below the mid-50s in the NET rankings. The Bulls are in the 80s in the NET and in the 90s at KenPom. Still, Rutgers wrangled an at-large bid from the committee in 2022 despite a NET ranking of 77. If South Florida keeps winning, it can at least equal the Scarlet Knights on this criterion. Since the start of February, the Bulls have already raised their NET ranking by more than 30 spots. By "keep winning," by the way, Bubble Watch recommends USF keep doing so all the way to the finals of the American tournament. On this subject, Abdur-Rahim might consider texting either Utah coach Craig Smith or VCU coach Ryan Odom for advice. Smith and Odom were the head coaches at Utah State in the 2021 and 2023 tournaments, respectively. In both years, the Aggies stormed into March on win streaks that carried them all the way to the Mountain West tournament finals. In both years, USU lost in the conference tournament finals to San Diego State. Nevertheless, the Aggies earned double-digit seeds in both brackets. That's the kind of run that South Florida is on now. That's the kind of run the Bulls will need to extend to earn an at-large bid. Or, who knows, USF might just take the committee out of this question entirely and win the automatic bid. Either way, at 13 wins in a row and counting, South Florida is fast approaching bubble status. Here is our current projection of the bubble: Teams from traditional one-bid conferences: 22 Locks: 26 teams The bubble: 30 teams for 19 available spots Should be in: 10 teams Work to do: 20 teams

  9. NR... Never ranked in our history. What a great day! Go Bulls!
  10. More time to sober up... perfectly fine with this.
  11. In both polls, everyone ranked from 20 to 25 took at least one L this week with ISU taking two L's. Gonzaga, WSU, UF, Grand Canyon and SDSU all took care of business. Clemson and New Mexico took an L. TAMU took two losses. This bodes well for us slipping in at 25. I would assume when we were up by 25-points with just under nine minutes left, most pundits switched the game off. Just my two cents...
  12. Was it louder than the UF game in 2001? Even while taking a L that day, the loudness of the Dome rivaled the WVU game when the INT was returned for six.
  13. We’ll need some profit to pay for the new stadium. However who would have known Pancho would have been a prophet with men’s hoops this season? Needless to say, looking forward to seeing them play UTSA in three days in San Antonio. Come and take it Bulls!
  14. It’s been quite sometime since we’ve seen this type of enthusiasm from our students. If I had a Time Machine, I would take you back to a few moments in 2001 where the Sun Dome was fire - however I’d rather you live in the moment. Don’t let this moment die though. What you do though is talk to some of those students in your class this morning and bring one or two of those students to the next game. If you really have a set of balls, you find the hottest girl in your class and you convince her to come to the game. Before you know it, the Sun Dome has 10K people for a game - you’re wrecked before the game even starts because you’ve been doing keg stands all night in the Sun Dome parking lot… and maybe that hot girl decides to do some charity and throws you a boobie or two. This might have happened a few times during the 2001 season. Trust me… this is why we really go to college. You’ll always have time to work and make a bunch of money. Live in this moment.
  15. Quality win. Looking forward to seeing them in SA when they play UTSA at the end of the month. Bought my tickets a few months ago. Would be excellent if they’re still on the current streak. This is even more unexpected than our football team turning the corner.
