Remember how painful it was to lose out in the early recruitment of Walker Kessler to North Carolina. Unlike Hunter, he was considered a sure thing 5-star that ran like a deer and could hit from outside or in the paint. Amazing that he barely sees the floor on a team that cannot win an ACC game but Hunter has proved dominant so far.

That highlights the question: is it because Juwan is that good of a coach that hunter is doing so well, Hunter is just better than walker and the recruiting services were wrong, or a mixture of both

B and C. Juwan is a good coach, but it’s not like Hunter was a nobody that somehow got coached up in the summer and early fall.

I’ll co-sign. He was always said to be a very polished post player with phenomenal ability to finish at the rim. He’s honestly probably benefitting from the game being played further away from the blocks nowadays. Luka Garza is similar, but can also space the floor. If you consider Hunter increasing his usage a little more and increasing his 3pt% to like 33% or something, you get Luka Garza. I’ll take Hunter over Luka any day.

As UNC hoops fan and UM football fan, its been a rough year.
And to make matters worse, looks like Harbaugh will be signed through 2026. ?

UNC football and UM basketball is the better fandom these days!

It sure is. Never thought I’d ever be agreeing with that statement.

I've always thought there should in fact be an award for being the cellar dweller in a conference, but I always find myself indecisive on what the shape of the trophy should be. In the case of basketball, perhaps a deflated ball or a brick for all the missed shots that led to the honor.

Great day of action! #3 Kansas got boatraced at home, #9 West V, #13 Texas Tech and #14 Rutgers all took Ls. #7 Tennessee is in a dogfight....and a possibility of Staee being 0-4.
Edit: Down goes #7 Tennessee!!!
January 2nd, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
0-4 still in play!!

Some basements are very nice.

MSU's bench is...leading cheers? Like, not cheering for a big block or a made three, but like "DE-FENSE" and "HERE WE GO SPARTANS, HERE WE GO" type shit??
Are they fucking serious?
January 2nd, 2021 at 9:47 PM ^
They are VERY serious. This team is one of the most mediocre MSU teams I’ve ever seen
January 2nd, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
I thought Nebraska had a chance to pull the upset tonight. Then I watched the first half and remembered they have no talent.
January 2nd, 2021 at 9:41 PM ^
LOL. There is that.

Men’s basketball has been wild as fuck today! Lots of ranked teams going down, and I love it!
