How many times do I have to tell you the year after next?

Is that the year he actually gets off the bench?
Game was won and lost at foul line. Gators were great Tech terrible including late misses of 2 front ends of 1 and 1s the equivalent of missing 4 FTs.
Between Cliff Omoruyi on Bama and Maluach on Duke you see the value and the matchup problems the insane length is giving on these “lobs”. Easy baskets.
I would love to see us develop someone like that for offense or defense. I don’t know if Maker with some development could become similar. Pretty sure that’s sort of what RP and staff were dreaming on.

I'm trying hard to root against Duke but I'm discovering that my dislike of them was apparently much more dependent on my hatred of their rat-faced former coach than I realized.
Self-discovery folks, it's a life long journey!
I have Florida also and was thinking the same thing. The rest of the games should be interesting. Most of the ganes recently are being played at a high level.
Idiot me had Alabama beating Duke in my bracket, tried to be the contrarian knowing everyone else was gonna pick Duke.
Duke really supports the notion of “length” mattering. Just ask Carolina w their small guards.
Unless Duke has a bad game they look like they will win it all this year.
As do I but Golden's coaching is very unimpressive. Bailed out twice now by outstanding talent. Duke has exceptional talent and it does not look like the lights are going to be too bright for those unique freshmen. And Scheyer is showing that he can really coach.
and if I remember correctly he got a big thumbs down by most on here who offered an opinion.
Shocking
Yes he did.
With all due respect you are totally full of it on this stuff.
I think Scheyer is a good young coach. But just look how EASILY the narrative on him would be totally different.
Look at last year you could make a case Jon Scheyer or anyone in his position would never have an EASIER game to reach the Final Four then he did last year. He faced an overmatched number 11 seeded NC St team in the Regional Final. And they lose. Again he may go to 10 FInal Fours in his career you can make a case he blew the EASIEST chance he ever would have.
If Shaka Smart lost a Regiuonal Final to a team seeded 7 spots lower then him with a roster full of top 50 high school All_Americans you would say, "See see he can't coach..."
Then let's say Caleb Love is able to hit a few late shots on Thursday and Arizona squeeks out a win vs Duke.
Again essentially SAME exact record he has now which is very good. But now he would have back to back failed runs to a Final Four, 1 where he had by FAARRR the better team in the Regional Final and 1 where he arguably has the best team in the country.
Is he any less of a coach?
What if Calipari and Kentucky don't pee down their leg the last 2 minutes of the 2022 first round game vs St Peter's ( I think they were up 7 or something) and they hold on. And St. Peter's does not have that run.
Sha is still the coach at SHU aftrer Willard leaves? But what exactly would be his major accomplishments after a 7-24 historically bad season?
