What's funny about this perception is when Majerus was at St. Louis and I went to a practice, Moser ran most of that practice and most know that if you didn't do things the way Majerus wanted it, you weren't on the team/staff. Sounds like Moser runs a very similar style, but lets his assistants...

In my opinion the team looked the best it had all season in the last 2-3 weeks under Moser not just Fears. They had a terrible shooting night against UCONN and still were in the conversation late in the game. Yes, Fears had a lot to do with that as well, but the team definitely improved after...

Thats the life of college basketball at this point. It’s happening everywhere with most programs. One team, which I believe was Akron literally sent out a message, saying all of their players were returning and like the very next day one or two guys entered the portal. KU is losing the...

But that role seems to be changing and some players aren't willing to do that. It happened as soon as the women's season ended as well and they got a commitment from the #1 player in the HS ranks. The STARTING Pg entered the portal because she knows her role was going to change and she clearly...

Who said it was Moser’s choice? If Duke wants to start and they are looking for somebody they feel is better fit to start in the SEC and Duke doesn’t want to come off the bench, there’s nothing Moser is going to be able to do about that. Will they be able to do that? Who knows but you are always...

If he comes, maybe he brings Udeh with him?

If that list is accurate, he has a lot of really good suitors for sub-par numbers???

Watching Sampson teams over the years, that's what the guy does best is keep it close. There were OU teams that had no right being in games with "more talented" teams at times, but he was willing to play the "drag it through the mud style". This team is no different but with better shooters than...

He wasn't recruited with an idea of having to play defense against other post players? We can agree to disagree. And to an extent, I don't think he did offensively what they thought he would either. I think the thought was an above avg shooter in the 35+% range from 3 to extend defenses to pull...

On paper, that's the sort of guy I'm looking for (as is everyone else).

This. But I would add find a guy that is a rim protector as well. 6'9-6'10 physically gifted that can alter the game on the defensive end if he's not able to score much on offense more than a lob (which is fine).

Agreed on the toughness standpoint. From day 1 he never looked like a guy that wanted anything to do with "banging" in the post. To his credit, I do feel like he got a little better with that, but it is obvious that's not really what he wants to be doing.

I think the thing is with this group on the board is we all know Sampson will have a defensive game plan that will keep Houston in the game at least is the thought. Then it becomes about the players. Does Houston have enough fire power to hang with what Duke has on the floor. Like I heard on the...

I think Sharp is the key here. When he’s on, it makes Houston a different monster. Uzan has been harder to guard in the tournament. Houston just doesn't get much from their bench and the starters have to play long minutes.

Yep, didn't take long for the "bigger" schools to figure out how to let the smaller schools evaluate players and develop them for a year or two and then pay them to come make an impact for 1-2 years.
