Funny how Covid has changed the fashion attire of coaches in the NCAA and NBA. ..Drew been rocking some cool gear this year.

Here comes the rebuild story. Getting it out of way early. Usually comes 4-5 minutes before half. Drew inherited a horrible situation........

Hard to definitively say that any of these calls have actually been fouls on us. From the live video, they look super soft.

I refereed years ago and I never recall a signal for breathing on opposing player. This is becoming bull excrement.

I don't like the last one on Vital or the first one on Butler, but hard to argue the other ones.

No mention of the scandal, so maybe we're past that?

Nah, who am I kidding?

I really am wondering if Vital has been saving energy for the big games so as to have a full tank of gas come tournament time. Last season he was pretty worn down toward the end. Some of that was being injured, but fatigue definitely plays a part in injuries. Either way, I'm stoked with his play tonight.

Seriously a foul? Do the refs know we are the home team AND the higher rank?
