I agree.  All season the refs called fouls that they did not last night.  UConn had the big guards who were allowed to play overly physical.  

 

Well Myles, you were right all along about Zach Edey. I saw him elevate his game to another level of consistency, it was a pity he didn't get help in the final game. Overall, a great run by Purdue!! I wish Zach Edey well, he was a better fit for college basketball than I feel he will be for the NBA, where he has to go to the right team with another big man that can extend the floor.

Woah Dakich let them have it!!! He’s not wrong though. It’s all about culture. When Bobby Knight was there(RIP) they had a certain culture and everyone knew they were in for a battle against the Hoosi

When Purdue lost to Virginia that was a fluke and a shame because I believe if Purdue wins that, they win it all. After Purdue getting bounced in Round 1 last season, they have me not trusting them. H

Purdue has to be the only program that has a highly rated 4 star recruit start most of his Junior year, return his senior year to play very little. Yet still willing to substitute in to give two fouls

Wembanyama basically is defying the laws of Physics for a guy that tall, IMO. :)

Pacers don't have a pick until 37th. There are 30 teams. Many don't think Edey will be a 1st round pick. It would be cool and insane if the Pacers could draft him at 37. I see Edey as a guy that can be a great backup Center and give a team 10 points and 8 Rebounds, + play solid defense off the bench. He is good from the foul line too. If he was Turner's backup, that would be ideal. The frontline guys would be solid with Turner, Pascal, and Edey off the bench to go with guys like Haliburton, Mathurin, and McConnell in the rotation.

2006Coltsbestever, You were correct that Clark will have an effect on the Indy WNBA team and the league. 

Unfortunately they do not list ticket sales but refer to the price increases.   Everyone feels she will be taken by Indiana, no question.  I do not watch the NBA or the WNBA.  Is she the best player coming out of college for the WNBA?

 

Meanwhile, ticket marketplace Vivid Seats reports the team's regular-season opener -- a May 14 road game against the Connecticut Sun -- has seen a price increase of 91% since Clark declared for the draft. The Fever's home opener, on May 16 against the New York Liberty, has seen a 50% price increase since Clark declared, Vivid Seats reported.

At ticket platform SeakGeek, the average Fever resale price for home games is currently $182 -- a 136% increase from 2023.

Fever will be on national TV in 36 of their 40 games. I will watch when I can. I don't see her game dropping off at all because she can shoot the 3. There is no defending that unless you guard her 30 feet away from the basket chuckling homer simpson GIF

I just did my final top women's college players list of all-time and she is 3rd IMO. 

 

1. Cheryl Miller is still #1

2. Breanna Stewart is here

3. Clark is here

 

Clark never won a Championship but went to 2 Finals in a row on a team that really had average players around here, so she still won a lot. She is the all-time leading scorer in college basketball history and won the Wooden Womens Award 2 years in a row. Miller and Stewart won multiple Championships, having said that they were on stacked teams. I would take Clark over Diana Taurasi college wise and Taurasi won multiple Championships, but she played on stacked UConn teams much like Stewart did, but Stewart was a better player than Taurasi.

Ann Meyers was amazing back in the day, achieved a lot of first including first NBA tryout. She was a great all around athlete competed in the Superstars which was a big deal back in the 1970's (won 3 straight years).

Washington State is quietly putting together a very nice season out west, 2nd fewest NCAA Tournament appearances among power conferences (Also 2nd longest drought)  they sit second in the Pac 12 at 20-6  (11-4 Pac 12) with 7 wins in a row. They are led by Freshman cancer survivor Myles Rice.. here is a very nice read.

I still think Maya Moore was the best college woman I've ever seen.

Brenna Stewart was just as great and even had a better resume. It was before your time but nobody was better than Cheryl Miller, she could beat Reggie one on one up until Reggie's senior year in high school. Clark is in this convo though.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Wow!    You're on fire today.   Post after post that are classically you.  Only you have these views.   That’s why these posts are so easy to remember for years.   I’m struggling to find anything to agree with.   Not that you’d care what my opinion is.  I just couldn’t help but finally respond today.   Sorry.

      Great interview!!   Both the Colts 1st round and 2nd round picks fell right in to their laps!!   Preparation + luck are equal parts of the equation!!

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Superman · Posted

      I think you're working from some assumptions that I don't agree with. First, it seems like you believe "the system" produces 32 relatively equal draft boards, and it's pretty obvious that's not the case. Second, it seems like you believe that if a team picks a player in the 4th round, that means they must have had a 4th round grade on him, otherwise they would have drafted him earlier.   It's possible that a team feels more strongly about a player than other teams. They could have Player X as their 30th player, and Player Y as their 35th player. The team is on the clock at #40, both players are still on the board, the team takes Player X. A few picks go by, Player Y is still on the board, they start trying to move up from wherever they sit in the next round, but a trade isn't coming together. They wind up staying put, and are able to draft Player Y -- their 35th ranked prospect -- at #75 or whatever. They had a high 2nd round grade on him, and got him in the middle of the third. Maybe they'd felt like they got lucky because things went their way. But drafting him in the third round doesn't mean they only viewed him as a third round prospect; what would make that scenario possible is the fact that every team works from their own board, and there are major variances from team to team.

      I doubt that. The reason is because not a single WR was selected the rest of the 2nd round, as borne out by how that 2nd round went. So any other GM still chose not to draft a single WR in round 2after the AD pick (either felt they didn't need one or had already gotten one), so your statement is not supported by how things played out. Whether it was Ballard at 52 or Ballard at 56 that he traded down to, he would have still found AD as value and pulled the trigger, is my contention. All GM boards are not created equal, so you can't broad brush there.
